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

[Tachi]

Did they ever figure out what BLM AF3+2 hands 'enhance Enmity Douse' does? Maybe it suppresses enmity for a certain amount of time?

Unless I'm blind there is no Enhances "Enmity Douse" effect on the japanese text of these gloves.

English players get trolled again?

[Guitarman]

Or our translator is very, very bad.

Again, I say hire Elmer. For the good of the NA community.

[Yugl]

Ok I can't fucking log out unless I log out of my MH. Anyone else?

[Guitarman]

no problems here. Might try a filecheck.

You'd have to be pretty bad at translating to add a whole other sentence on a topic not mentioned in the original text. I think it's more likely that a previous version before implementation had that line, then they scrapped it mid-design and the English version didn't get updated.

Anything worth making with Forgotten hopes/thoughts?

[Sideris]

Would depend on what jobs you use and how often you find yourself on those jobs but simply looking at a glance:

Head:
WAR: increases Warcry Duration and can be augmented w/ an enhancement to Savagery Merits

DRG: increases Healing Breath potency by a decent amount

SCH: the +2's Grimoire: Reduces spellcasting time is one of the more readily available casting pieces, I'm unaware of its status as being optimal as I'm sure something exists out there that might beat it but it is relatively easy to obtain (what comes to mind that would compete w/ this are: Nares Head, HQ Iaso Head w/ cure cast augs for heals and Hyaline Hat) and in addition the Grimoire Fast Cast is both the same and stacks w/ the AF1 SCH Feet

Body:
SCH: A decent placeholder until you get Anhur Robe for Enhancing magic skill

BST: when +2'd functions the same as AF1+1 body removes the same status ailments, should only be upgraded if for some reason you cant upgrade the AF1 or if you want to make this an inventory saver to both be used as a Reward and Feral Howl piece due to its augment.

BLM/RDM/DRK:Can obtain augments to extend the duration of their respective 2hours. RDM's body in particular boasts 12% Fast Cast. (I'm not well versed in RDM so I'm not sure as to the viability of this piece outside of its 2hr Augment)

MNK: A idle regen piece if that's your thing and when augmented can allow 92% of your DMG be considered Non Elemental w/ 5/5 Formless Strikes Merits, very situational I can only see this be used in Neo Nyzul provided your group has you on MNK and that you are to engage a NM Flan and even then you'd have to weigh the Dyna Exp Trial completion and also the possibility that the augment might require that this be worn for the JA's duration (BG Wiki makes no mention so I'm unsure as to whether or not that is the case)

Bear in mind this was just a quick glance through the list found on BG Wiki (by searching for relic armor and clicking on the Relic Armor +2 search bar suggestion) I would advise you check this page should you use jobs I have not mentioned and best of luck in finding what you're looking for.

How about Dragoon AF3+2 pants? - Nevermind, I can see that it exists at least in the french and german versions.

I can't believe I wasted time testing this crap and it was a localization error.

[Talint]

MNK/DNC does just fine with TH Sash. You pull in 250+ once you get into the rhythm of Dynamis.

...250 with just TH1 fighting EP mobs? Really?

[Byrthnoth]

I've seen MNK/DNCs in Tav do Clusters and Leeches (DC). 80% Counter rate is pretty ridiculous.

Interesting! Though the claim was with EP mobs. I figured with EP mobs you're going to, more often than not, have stagger proc issues more than anything.

I'm just surprised since last time I went THF/DNC solo to Dynamis to seriously farm coin, my absolute best was 170 with highly ideal conditions (no competition, stagger constantly, etc.), and my THF is far (FAR) from pimp. An 80 coin improvement on a job without more than TH1 is fascinating.

[Byrthnoth]

MNK/DNC's DPS solo is way better than THF's (Martial Arts traits are equivalent to ~38% delay reduction) and the 80% Counter rate (often on top of a high Evasion rate and Chakra) means they spend very little TP Waltzing themselves. They have Subtle Blow, so the monsters don't TP before 25%, and they can probably just Proc/WS to make sure mobs never get to use a TP move.

I can verify this. I was pulling just shy of 200 on mnk/dnc before I got my TH sash, so I can easily see 220/230+ with one. And like Byrth said, the combo of eva/counter/chakra (and a decent idle set) means very little tp is going to waltz and instead is going to WS to kill the mob. If you have a TH sash it's definitely a good choice to farm with.

For new limbus metal chip runs. Does kill order determine the potential drop or do all 3 accessories have a chance to drop no matter what? I thought it was the former but BG wiki seems to indicate the latter.

I've never seen one drop, so I don't know. I assumed any could drop at any point because you get a chest each time you kill a boss.

You can use both of those at once. Just macro in Argute Gown +2 for Enlightenment activation. So using them together gets you +22 skill.

[Nishida]

So..I can pull in about 100 currency at most in BST/DNC in Dyna-Valk, and this is with TH1 pet. Can MNK/DNC really do better than BST with TH pet? I have MNK leveled and geared too..what's the zone/strat for this?

Oh? it wasnt mentioned on the wiki that it could be used as a macro piece...but it is mentioned in the related links.
