Random Question Thread XXVII: Okay this roman numerals bullshit is getting ridiculous

[Romyro]

I thought I saw it here somewhere but not sure.

Is ‘the hill are alive’ duoable by 2 (maybe 3) decent Blms?
If so, what’s strat? Looking for an Egg and buddy is looking to make a buck or 2.

Soloable by a competant sch, should be a joke for 2+ blm.

IDK about BLMs strategy, but i can say for sure SCH+ DD make short work of it ( Klaustra). Actually not sure if a DD is necessary, seeing how fast its HP was droping with my naked sch mule lol.

Youtube is blocked at my work...i'll check it out at home.

I don’t have Sch though

Would 2 Bsts be better? I just figured 2 blms would be more fun (and faster)

[Fake]

After rewatching the video, it was terribly executed with crappy gear. A decent solo blm should have no problems, with 2 it should be beyond a joke.

Ha gotcha

Thanks for putting my mind at ease

This is more to sate my curiousity: Blade: Hi says deals Quadruple damage. It has an fTP of 4.0... Tachi: Fudo says deals double damage and Torcleaver says deals triple damage, and their fTPs are all over the place. Does it do all the calculations for dSTR etc etc and then double/triple the damage after on those particular WS?


My whole brain is crying.

Can anyone link me or post up some good PUP TP/ws sets (assume stringing pummel/victory smite)?

I've got a good basic idea what I'm working towards, but wondering what are some good pieces to chase after.

Also, cirque neck: is it even worth it considering I have Rancor collar? Discuss

[Kaisha]

On the PUP subject, what's the general de-facto attachment setups nowadays? I stopped paying attention after the level-cap raises. I'm assuming properly geared Stormwaker nukes is still best dmg frame, or did Sharpshoot come ahead with the cap raises?

Used to have all attachments other than Ashu, and I'm currently working on getting those now that it's a fucking joke to 2box it w/ a friend at 99.

You can look at my sig, alongside with the SCH gearsets I have several PUP ones. There are now many upgrades possible (Mustela gloves for WS, several Thaumas pieces for TP and WS...) but the sets are still solid. Regarding Cirque vs Rancor, Cirque is superior in both my gearset and an ideal one for TP, and for WS, you're better with a Rancorous Mantle, except if the DEX on Pantin cape caps your dDEX, in which case thay are either tied or Pantin wins, depending on how many DEX you needed to cap.

I think this post is still relevant.

Regarding which frame is better for damage, it depends. I'm pretty sure that if Sharpshot can hit consistently and survive a decent amount of time, it is now the best DD frame. If not, and if you can keep your auto deployed out of AoE range, Spiritreaver will come ahead.

The text doesn't really mean anything other than it has decent ftps

[Mercilessturtle]

You shouldn't be touching rancor neck on pup unless you have KKK. You shouldn't be using blm frame unless you aren't engaging. You need to spam maneuvers to get anything vaguely resembling decent damage out of it, so its not worth using when you are engaging. If you are engaging (and don't need a healbot obviously) then use sharpshot if he can survive long enough to deux ex him back up again, or valoredge if not.

is rapid shot instant or just massive delay reduction? I hear two different things

When I tested ranged delay a long time ago, I found that the ranged delays while using Ranger could vary while the same weapon on a different job did not vary. I chalked it up to Rapid Shot working similar to Conserve MP in that it can reduce delay by a few set amounts.

how many nares would i have to nuke in in order for body to beat savant+2? assume t5 and helix

[Obsidian]

Any uses for Hachiryu hands/legs/feet anymore?

[CoreyX]

Pretty sure it would never beat Savant's +2, for one the boots are not an option because of klimaform's 10% damage boost (if you use an ascetic's tonic, cancel intension before casting klimaform) and the hat with ebullience, and the legs are obviously not a nuking piece. Only truly full-timeable Nares piece for SCH nukes is hands. The others are either worse or highly situational
