New or Returning Players Discussion 2: SoA Homeless Veterans Edition

[Malithar]

Whm is one of the few jobs that hasn't really gained very much for their healing role from ilvl gear. There are a few things you might be interested in however.

Tamaxchi is a very good healing stick when paired with an augmented Genbu's Shield. Paired together (with near max augment), they grant more healing potency than the Arka IV, -cure cast time, and -10% PDT.

Gendewitha Caubeen is a nice addition to their arsenal as well, to better round off your cour potency, as well as some -cure casting time if you aug it.

The reforged AF and reforged relic for Whm was kinda meh overall when I looked at it, but RF+1 head is better than the Caubeen. RFR offers an easy way to get the exp trial augments on the gear if you don't have those, as well as enhancing their specific augments slightly.

The cure potency cap is +50% as well, beyond this, Mnd, Vit, Healing Skill, and weather are the only way to further augment your cures. Some prefer to cast in a full time -cast time/fast cast and +potency set, other's prefer to precast in -cast time/fast cast, and swap midcast to a full on potency set, however the results from the extra effort are kind of lacking, IMO. Not to say it's useless, but all that gear for an extra 30ish HP cured isn't for me.

I'd say what SoA has really brought forward for Whm is in the form of +MDmg and +MAcc gear. Geared correctly with relevant gear, you can get pretty respectiable numbers out of the Whm nukes, or anything /Sch may grant under Dark Arts.

thanks for the reply! Do whm need to nuke now too?

[Rehn]

can someone please post some screenshots or a video of a sch or blm nuking with new gear?

No blm or any of that gear myself, but tanking hurkan and see 1100 stone I go off is pretty on par for the course. I'm very sure it can go higher as well, but people with midtier gear can definitely pull off 1k+ tier 1 nukes.

[Twilight Sky]

It isn't the damage, I find the most important about that. It's the huge MP conservation. The damage/MP ratio is mouth watering.

it's literally dividing by 0 if you get one of the bodies that returns 2% nuke damage as MP

[cassiraa]

And easier to magic burst with! Right?

That's a thing, right? oh god with trust and books I bet people haven't intentionally skillchained in years.

[Malithar]

thanks for the reply! Do whm need to nuke now too?

Nah, not need to. It's just an option that's available to them now. Something to keep in mind should you find yourself fighting Umbrils (takes 2x fire dmg) or some other mob with similar qualities. Dip into Dark Arts real quick, toss on a nuke set, bam, Blm in Whm clothing.

[Skeelo]

Anyone have a link to download all the expansions? Cant find my disks and dont wanna rebuy it. Havent logged on in over a year and kinda wanna see ryunohige again.

[Botosi]

Dont lie...you wanna see me not your ryu

[Miltani]

Oh is arise really needed? It like 5mil on my server...

[Priran]

not really, especially with SE planning to lower weakness timers overall in the near future

[Miltani]

How am i able to see the effect of my trial weapons when all i see is a triangle at the bottom right corner??
Have been seeing shouts like skirmish rala waterways 332 what does the 332 means?

[arshesney]

Hit menu button to show augments (X on a xbox pad or "-" on numpad) with tthe item highlighted.
It's related to tier (head III, torso III, logs II) of materials used to acquire the simulacra KI: https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Category:Skirmish

[Draylo]

Cap to healing potency is +50% and then an additional +50% to cure potency effect received.

[Kayza]

Is it possible to solo all the nation and expansion missions with just DNC at 99?

[Hitou]

Tentative yes. So far I've done CoP and Windy solo on a mule with 99 DNC only needing help with the 2 key door in sacrarium which is now a non-issue. And this was before item lvl gear. Might be forgetting some missions with a gimmick that makes it hard/impossible to solo, like a death-prone npc or something, but I'm 99% sure all the missions in the game can be solo'd by a dnc besides adoulin and that's because the 2 fights so far require 3 people to enter.

[Anoat]

The last Aht Urghan mission might prove difficult because I believe Raubahn switches between physical/magical/ranged immunity depending on how you kill him each time.

There is also one of the Bastok WotG nation quests that I'm not sure can be soloed...I forget the name, but its the one where you have to escort the SCH NPC through the cave with all the Quadav? She runs away quite a lot and doesn't have a lot of health, and lots of Quadav will keep pouring out.

[Undeadhunter]

I just returned to the FF11 realm, after about 7 years ... atm I am stuck in Windurst on Cerberus with a few lv75 and looking for some people to help out (any LS still alive on there).

Also getting some help in how to jump back in would be awesome...

[Tokitoki]

Is there still such a thing as enhanced maps? Like Brandson (SP?) used to make. The in-game maps, not ApRadar or anything like that.

EDIT: Found the answer to my question. If anyone else is curious it is on the Windower forums.

[Scrooge]

Few questions from a returning player. Left at the release of SoA.

I see ilevel 119 weapons have enormous amounts of magic accuracy on them. Do they now completely replace Magian Elemental Staves for landing debuffs?

I'm under the impression much of the older content, like Salvage is ridiculously easy to farm with new ilevel gear. Would my boxed character be able to solo these zones for money with minimum effort with entry level ilevel gear? It's a mage only character, R/E BRD, WHM, RDM, BLM, SMN. Would I be able to gear one of these jobs to that effort, or would it be best to level MNK or THF from scratch for this purpose?
