The only time you would be using a Vulcan's would be if you're using Wildfire, in which case you'll also want the additional AGI on the new staff.

Yep, forgot about that one.

Would be single wielding a dagger for Fencer when not using Wildfire? Unless you're saying that the extra ranged attack during TP phase would still beat the 5 AGI and DEX, which I kind of doubt.

Report it on OF, could be spaghetti code in line with the ranged delay change?

**Darkmagi** · 2012-07-23 15:24

I think I just derped and managed to click it off. Ignore, I'm retarded.

If this is true, I agree, expletives included. I assume this is a ninja-nerf to make up for the new ranged attack delay update, but seriously that's bullshit, assuming it was an intentional nerf.

Edit: post above, lol

Tried this with my FoV augmented Aquilo's Staff, it doesn't work.

Yes, I'm retarded. I'm just not going to post for the rest of the day.

**Elizara** · 2012-07-23 15:46

I got my new chatoyant staff synthed with the help of a synergy friend (Thanks Soujii.) I did lose the sig on one of mine, so don't worry if they're signed, tho if you really really wanna keep a sig, you might need to buy a new staff.

And my bag whews; I'm going to get a magican staff to work on for ice damage now that I got the space to stick'em. ^^

Also fuck you.
"The beastmaster ability Tame may no longer be used if you already have a familiar out."

Maybe I missed something in the past but wasn’t Tame a 100% fail rate if you had a pet out?
Never seen it work as a dynamis proc nor do I think it’s a VW proc.

Seems like something very pointless to even consider.

The two ??? job slots just blew my mind. Nice touch. Respect SE.

I've always been very partial to Devotion. I guess it comes from having it used on me in the past, and nothing feels as good as having a WHM save the day with a well-timed Devotion to keep two healers going instead of one. RDM, SCH for example can be given quite the "whew" moment with a quick Devotion. Yes, RDM has little necessary role these days, but they do provide a good safety valve, and I'll take a good RDM over an abyssea burned WHM who is average.

I have merits in Devotion, and have unlocked Protect 5 simply for the clean look (and for not having /SCH when I originally did my merits) of a balanced spell list (idiotic I know). As easy as merits are, messing around with more merits in P5 will be definitely something worth doing.

But I won't give up all my Devotion merits- one's staying.

heres wishing that se would be nice enough to add the new synth recipes to there announcements like they do synergy. hunting them down takes alot of time

**Gippo** · 2012-07-23 19:24

wow its amazing how many gimps are wanting these staves made on my server. price of HQ staves has quadrupled on the AH. Im happy for the woodworkers , make your gil now .

So whats the final word on the Prism staff's weather multiplier? I heard some revisions throughout the thread, so I want to make sure I have this right:

1.1 Multiplier at the Weather/Dy position; overrides Obi; Not guaranteed to proc unless you use Obi

What happens if you have double weather?

**Dotsudoku** · 2012-07-23 22:38

It can't override an obi; they do different things. The Iridescence and the weather multiplier are similar yet separate bonuses, and can proc simultaneously or independent of each other. Neither are guaranteed with the staff alone, but both are guaranteed with an obi. Iridescence also is not influenced by the day, just the weather. I'm not certain how double weather works.

Overall a pretty solid staff, but still slightly worse than magians.
