Random Question Thread: Fuck it.

Unfortunately, Morrigans > FC > Morrigans will break your SC.

If the recast, and subsequently effect duration, were cut in half, I think it could find more versatility. How often do you find yourself fighting something for 3+ minutes straight of blunt resistance/immunity?

The two Cerberus mobs in Bhaf come to mind.

Full Morri+1 could still be a contender, It'd only need a set bonus of ~20mab to overcome naresx2 morrix2 akasha.

MAB: +69+??
MAcc: +28

At the very worst, Morri 5/5 is a competitive set for damage with decidely higher macc.

Asked in the crafting thread, no responses, so I'll ask it here.

Is there any kind of demand of the woodworking cursed sets anymore to make it worthwhile crafting for -1s? Or is shitty gear still shitty and you'd be a fool to craft it?

I had a really hard time moving shura -1's a year ago on Quetz. I can't imagine it being any easier now.

Then again I had a hard time selling -1's before the level cap increase and ended up having to server transfer a mule to sell a -1 togi.

Is there kind of a quick-and-dirty best way to set up Sharpshot/Valoredge for optimum damage output?

[Mercilessturtle]

There aren't very many viable options to pick from. Tension springs, turbo charger, scope, whatever you need from thunder, optic fiber. For thunder, use the acc attachments on anything where you would need acc, keeping in mind his acc is entirely just skill + those attachments. Otherwise use the DA, crit and enthunder attachments. On anything where level correction will play a factor, use attuner and target marker. On low level trash you can get away with using drum magazine (still keep scope on though). Don't use crap like barrage turbine or heat capacitor that erase maneuvers unless you aren't engaging and are entirely focused on automaton damage.

What were the prerequisites to buy mog bonanza marbles last year? Did the characters need to have been created a month beforehand or something like that?

I'm not sure if anything's changed: is the rule of thumb that using maneuvers that aren't essential to an activity(procing in Dynamis, or the like) will end up being a net loss in damage against most things still accurate?

[fantasticdan]

I assume you'd want to at least keep up one maneuver to enable them to WS, but I'm no pup mathologist.

[trinironnie]

I've been working on guttler trials. At first I regretted the weapon since most of the stuff I kill on BST is with pet-only, but at this point it really is a great weapon and I dont regret it.

Thats the main reason why i wanted to change lol.

[Mercilessturtle]

I think if you stack maneuvers with WS so you are only getting 1 sec of delay, its worth putting up wind at least. You don't need to put anything up to get him to WS.

[Dotsudoku]

Good call. Thanks.

Lastly, is SS still the default for damage output?

[Prothescar]

Stringing Pummel is pretty much the strongest hand to hand weaponskill, not by much though without KKK

Will it prioritize armor shatterer/string shredder with no maneuvers?

Outside of aby/VW, my average SP is well below my average SS, even on stuff where my attack is most certainly capped. I can't really explain the discrepancy, since on paper, SP should definitely average higher. Either I have horrible luck with it (maybe, I don't play pup often), or SP is worse than advertised, like drakesbane.

[cdgreg]

Does Dagourmarche have any weird draw-in or pt/alliance hate? Wondering if I can hang out at the ??? and solo kills on BST while friends farm papers across the zone.

[Dotsudoku]

Sorry, SS was referring to Sharpshot.

If they're consistent with the old salvage sets in that all the sets add the same numerical bonus, I can't see it being more than 10, since that would put the Usukane +1 set at 24% haste. Then again, these are the guys that gave MNK AF3 set 17% haste or whatever.

[Psion]

All puppets will use their highest level ws available if no maneuvers are up, provided inhibitor isn't equipped, in which case it will use its weakest ws to close a skillchain, gods be damned. (only half kidding, inhibitor will override it's ws priority to make it close a skillchain if it can, and use whatever ws is needed for that.)

Yeah ;; I can hope though! Plus, only needs to be ~12 mab if you're like me and Akasha Chaps just don't exist at all.

This is technically possible... the natural crit rate on that thing with a fairly nice WSC is a bit generous. SE is never generous.
