Random Question Thread: Fuck it.

Is KB easy enough at 99 to beat with melee+healer without bothering to run from meteor?

Did it awhile ago PLD THF WHM(box) straight tanking. I was intending to meele on semi-naked THF until nuked down and death warp->Nexus back as RDM, but it never happened. You will interrupt his casting with meele swings quite often too. This assumes no bad luck and you not suck. Don't come back to me if it hits the fan tho.
PLD had Aegis, but I don't consider it relevant. Actually Aegis PLD/DNC should be very much capable of soloing it.

Not sure how that would work. Wouldn't you need to delete then make the mule the name of the old character so it forces name change when you restore?

Yes, this works if you're willing to risk your character/put up with SE Support.

Oh I know that's what I was basing my numbers off of. Basically a trade of a small amount of base dmg and going from 40 to 30% dmg from affinity for 30 mab. Isn't a huge boost but might make a difference to some.

Yeah except you eventually get a +1 affinity dmg from the thunder staff, whereas you have none for the blizz5 is all i'm saying.

Is there a good DEX/Atk food for shijin (pup if it matters)? I know of shark fin soup but it's basically a 3-hour kabob with DEX. Are there other options or should I stick with RCB?

[Kyte]

The +attributes on.....any food really....aren't worth talking about. Stick with curry.

Whenever i paste text from logger plugin logs it always adds extra linebreaks like this:

2) Highlight from [ to the empty line above.
3) Edit > Replace (CTRL+H)
4) Enter [ into the "Replace with" field (you may need to copy/paste step 2 into the "Find what" field)

Bgwiki says Red Curry caps at 150 Attack and Ranged Attack but NQ Buns cap at 150 Attack and 75 Ranged Attack. Is that true? Or do RCB cap at 150 Ranged Attack too?
Also what are the caps for RCB+1s?

Bump.

Got a new computer and using a 16:9 Monitor (1920x1080) Anybody got a good Overlay resolution x Background Resolution for crisp gfx + legible chatlog? Shit is tiny hard to read at 1920x1080 overlay with 2048x1152 background

Just finished Guttler (no trials done) and I have noticed a number of more serious BSTs using relic/KC. At what point does the TP build from offhand KC exceed the DMG of an STR or OA/DA magian axe?

I know what you are saying I just said I factored that in... hence the going from 40 to 30....

You have a D rating in Club and A- in Axe. With that said, I'm sure you'll figure out valid applications for each sub weapon.

I've had a rancorous mantle for a while and I am not sure about the best applications for this. Anyone able to provide which WS it performs well with?

[bien]

Any crit ws, stacks with nefarious, but not rancor collar. I use on Victory Smite/Evisceration with Justiciar's neck for example

[Jb1210a]

Interesting. Any reason why I see a lot of people using Atheling over Rancorous for Ukko's Fury then? I assume the double attack enhancement is the reason why but I wonder how much of a difference there is.

Because they're doing it wrong.

I would assume most Wars with Ukko's are using Rancor Collar/Atheling/Windbuffet on WS over what? Rancorous Mantle + Ele Gorget/belt? All gear is situational though, no reason not to have a max accuracy ws set, as well as a straight fodder one.

[Byrthnoth]

It's 0.1 fTP on the first hit and 4 Acc vs. 3% DA and 3 Attack

The first option is slightly better.

Any of the SMN Magian staves besides Vayuvata III worth upgrading for a moderately serious to serious SMN? I know there's a +attk. one but I'm asking about the -perp cost ones for range of eventy stuff (Empy farm, VWNM, WoE, etc).

A couple of the SMNs in my LS have pet:MAB staves. Idk if that means they're good ot not.

Was curious if anyone had a RNG xml file? I looked at the one in the posted xml thread and it is just too outdated and doesn't have a precast for snapshot either. As someone who is terrible with writing the code (tried using one from ls that is also outdated and broke it a bit) an xml from the last couple of months would be awesome.
