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

[Alistaire]

inb4 no specific spell is determined at time of proc, just the type/element and the game decides if it procs if the spell caster is JP or wearing a virga

yeah i dont have a 2box healer so im solo

also yeah farming PI either i take everyone and farm every single mini mobs or i force the mto bbuy all the PI on AH for about 400k

Or kill the mini mobs yourself and dbox pops to whoever will hold them for you. Then kill the KI NMs and Chloris when you can get a couple people together.

Gonna have to start farming Chloris soon and i need opinions

1) Can cleaving KI work on DNC/NIN? if yes i suppose stack on Wind dmg atma for Aeolien Edge?


Outside that would i'm trying to find the fastest way to get some pops without wasting people too much time

any opinions?

Without a healer, I strongly suspect farming pops or buying pops will be faster then DNC AE KI box farm. We recently spent a week in there and knocked out two h2h and two GA in six days, but there were close to 10 of us off and on, including a dedicated blu burn and an occasional Fell Cleave war with healer support. We still needed to do pop/timed spawn NMs to finish pops.

tl;dr That zone still sucks, no matter how you try to farm it.

Holy shit that's kinda awsome lol

Honestly, unless you can find someone who wants Glavoid pops, theres no reason to ever cleave Tahrongi for KI's, even if you have a full group.

Does anyone have a link to the testing of what determines the element on the hybrid skillchains? I remember there was a test that showed something like Light not actually doing Light damage, but it picked one of the 4 elements.

Search is not cooperating or I am stupid. Assume the latter.

What atmas for wildfire brew?

Best magian GS for resolution spam?

[Fereydoon]

Griffon Claw, Lone Wolf, Smoldering Sky for WF brew.

OAT or STR or WSD, obligatory "just do a ragnarok"

[NynJa]

just outta curiosity, did SE break something with Armed Gears and no ones noticed / reported it? Its PDT hasnt adjusted based on gear removal. Vere MNK was doing 5-10 damage from 100%-0.

Is Woodnix Shrillwhistle (BST NM in Bubu) in the EP or DC gobs? Or better yet, where the heck does he pop? lol

NM think I found answer here

I did Armed Gears a few weeks ago and it didn't lose PDT as well. Didn't bother to ask anyone about it though.

Extreme basics question: When trying to determine gear for Last Stand, will Str help? ie, this is more a question of does marksmanship ws's have an fSTR mod? Other than just the obvious WSC agi mods

[Kyte]

All non-magical WS are affected by fSTR. Ranged ones are particularly affected due to fSTR2.

I think the fight requires a magical source of damage for it to lose the PDT. Tried MNK/WHM once and it took literally 30 min (with spharai95) just tp/ws. With MNK SCH, it took about 10-12 min depending on how spammy it is, with SCH chucking nuke/enspell when appropriate. Never bothered changing from light arts.

[xIndustrialxAngelx]

Bump.

Also, just out of curiosity, what would a Tachi: Rana set look like, with someone who would have a 99 koga, I'd just like to see what it might be like, I'm sure you'd only use rana for the sole purpose of AM3, and spam shoha, but still, just wanted to see what a set would be like.

Are you sure thats not just for bow is my primary question. Seemed odd that a gun has str mod

[NynJa]

Well i should only have to fight it once more, ill try out drk blm whm and see if the pdt drops.

fSTR =/= a WSC mod. They're two separate things.
