Want to get to 30 for ninja quest, then 57 for hocho, but don't want to mess with missions if I don't have to.

I would be doing pages with a dnc with Twashtar.

zeruh mines works

Don't think anyone bothered testing if immunobreak chance may be based on the enfeebling skill though.

Was getting a lot of resists on RDM in my enfeebling gear (puts me over 500 skill) casting Paralyze II, and the last time I was on that job I recall seeing immunobreaks pop on nearly every spell. Perhaps that was just luck.

Should I even bother capping dark magic skill on drk for voidwatch procs? Always feel bad when I can't land my absorbs. Will my cap even go high enough to see spells land?

Capped skill + a Dark magic set you will land most of the time. Is it worth it prob not.

One other thing to consider:

What if you don't have 5/5 Thunderstorm? I currently have 3 Thunderstorm and 3 Heavenly Strike, still have 2 more DEX merits before I have the spare merits to apply to other stuff. (I don't really get to play SMN often, but I do enjoy the job and try to set it up as much as possible.)

Anyone have an answer for the Atmacites for WAR? (Since I am on it approximately 99.99999999% of the time I do VW.)

**dasva** · 2012-09-15 18:31

iirc war would be valiant, coercion and Latitude

How do I view the entire (Or get high views) landscape of a zone? I've seen people do that for unintroduced zones, so I assume I can use that method for existing zones.

There is a program on the windower website that allows you to pull the camera back further than normally allowed. I haven't played with it, and I don't know if it will meet your needs.

And now that I spent 5 minutes looking for it, I can't find it to link it for you. Sorry.

edit: there it is: http://forums.windower.net/topic/180...zoom-distance/

Doesn't seem to be far enough back.

edit 2: At the bottom of the first page is an explanation of someone who has all of Windy Waters North in his screenshot, so maybe it will do what you need.

RL has kicked my ass of late, haven't kept up. Is a nicely aug'd Heca Cap +1 still the winning Mercy Stroke piece? With TA stacked does Thaumas win? Situation is SSR, been doing full clear w/ dual box SAM WHM/THF, figure extra TH couldn't hurt on gears as long as the x4 pouches and a shot at Linen are still viable. Thanks.

I've been trying to farm amphiptere hides recently to skill up clothcraft above 100, and I've been having some issues with aggroing the Greater Amphiptere in Xarcabard [S] which spawns around the OP, I can get the one near Castle Zvahl really easily but this one just takes forever to aggro.

Is there something I'm missing and has anyone else had issue aggroing these?

I mean I don't think I could be anymore under it, it's almost tempting to clip up into the sky and slap it in the face

**Kurp** · 2012-09-16 09:59

I could never get that one around the OP/WoE entrance to come down reliably. The other ones in Xarcabard/Glacier were all really easy to tag though. I gave up on it eventually because it was too damn frustrating to deal with.

They bug frequently and fly too high so they don't detect players. Call a GM to kill it so it respawns normally.

i think its a bug about having 2 much POL mail! jeeze that flashing mail symbol drives me insane.

How far behind Ragnarok is the OAT gs? I assume that's the next best thing?

101!?! Do you have Dalmatians in your inbox?!

The couple times I've gone out there, I had to get a GM to respawn it. It seems to be an issue with it staying alive for too long or something.

**dasva** · 2012-09-16 12:36

The key is to be doing something that having it land would interefere with and probably get you killed

**Fereydoon** · 2012-09-16 14:21

How do I use Windower on the Test Server without having a disgustingly small window that acts funny?

**Martel** · 2012-09-16 17:18

What would be the best method for testing a mob for piercing resistance? And not just yes/no, but the potency as well?
