Random Question Thread: Fuck it.

[Radec]

IIRC this type of thing has a simple fix having to do with spellcast or something.. but I'm unable to use Fantod on BST. It just fails to register, as if I were using a spell/ability that wasn't on the job I was currently using.

halp? Thanks

Has statustimer been acting wonky for anyone? On one of my computers it works fine but on the two others it crashes POL if I load it.

Yes, it flips out over the new SP abilities. I replaced the resources.xml here: http://resources.windower.net/resources.xml with a version without them until there is time to look at statustimer itself.

Can Aptus Earring (the shitty ASA one) get 2 summoning skill? Trying to find ways to hit 57s on PD that doesn't require Ngen.

Atmacites for a BLM in Voidwatch?

I'm pretty sure someone said you can, except that someone's name ends in chan.
Having said that, as much of an idiot he is, I dont ever recall him making claims pertinent to the existence of certain gear.

wait, it was you who said it can

Editing a bit off since I am phone. Belt I think is phasmide now in AM. Obviously this is for bravura.

Shrewd Valiant Provenace, but I'm taru. Skyblaze or Destruction or Curses or Vanguard are all decent swaps in for Valiant if you don't need the HP from it.

Realisitcally, none of them are omg-mad-dps increasers, I'm more focused on not-dying.

Been trying to farm a few relic pieces with no luck. My lowly TH2 on BLU isn't cutting it so I'm going to throw together some sets for my THF and try that.

Burned to 99, just for the sake of having it so forgive me >.>

Good intro dagger options? Was thinking just Lux/Oynos would be decent for EP dynamos mobs. If Aluh is a major upgrade I'd consider that too. I can handle everything else, just didnt see too much advice for non-relic/empy daggers.

Please no Magian options. Not worth it with as much as I play the job.

Starting to scrutinize my war gear a bit, looking for suggestions for generic tping - events include higher end VW, NNI, etc

TP:

Restraint:
http://www.ffxiah.com/item-sets/280304

Ukko's:
http://www.ffxiah.com/item-sets/280237

Is there anything I should be changing?
in terms of things like Phorcys, augments, they are on the way. ... sort of. Moonshade is attack/tpbonus

Is it wise to WS in phorcys body?
Is there anything better than Ravager's Mufflers for Ukko's fury?
Can anyone explain to me what I'm trying to do with restraint?

finally, is there a reliable person with gear sets listed on FFXIAH?

For TP:
You shouldn't be using so much Store TP gear. You're overshooting. You only need 14 Store TP in your TP set to maintain a true 6 hit build for Ukon. With Armada Hauberk augmented with 4~6 Store TP, you have more than enough with Tyrant's Ring, Rajas Ring, and Brutal Earring. Don't use Brego Gloves, Houyi's Gorget, or Goading Belt. You're gimping yourself. Stick with Ravager's Mufflers +2, Rancor Collar, and Phasmida Belt instead. When fighting monsters with critical hit evasion like Bismarck or Morta, use Ravager's Gorget instead. Use a Ravager's Earring instead of Centaurus Earring. When fighting monsters like Ig-Alima where you need more accuracy, use a Ghillie Earring +1 instead. Until you can get Phorcys Mitts, use Avant Gauntlets +1 while Restraint's down. Also, you should be swapping into Ravager's Lorica +2 for Blood Rage upon activation. It doubles it's duration.

For Ukko's:
Use Ravager's Mask +2 instead of Twilight Helm, and Mekira-Oto +1 on Windsday, Lightningday, and Lightsday. Don't use Armada Hauberk for WS. Use Grim Cuirass +1 until you can get Phorcys Korazin. Get Heafoc Mitts to hold you over until you can get Hecatomb Mittens +1 (with Critical Damage +3~4 augment) and Phorcys Mitts. Once you do, use Hecatomb Mittens +1 for anything without critical hit evasion, and Phorcys Mitts for anything that does. Replace Byakko's Haidate with Warrior's Cuisses +2, swapping into Hecatomb Subligar +1 (with Critical Hit Rate +3~4 augment) when inside Abyssea, and when Blood Rage or Potency are up outside Abyssea. Optionally, if your Byakko's Haidate are augmented with Critical Hit Rate +3~4 and you don't have Hecatomb Subligar +1 yet, you can use them instead until you can manage to get them. Don't use Hecatomb Leggings +1. Ravager's Calligae +2 are your best option. The Critical Hit Damage+ blow everything else out of the water in the feet slot. Replace Rancor Collar with an elemental gorget and Atheling Mantle with a Rancorous Mantle. Elemental Gorget/Rancorous Mantle combo beats Rancor Collar/Atheling Mantle for Ukko's. Don't use Wanion Belt. Use a Windbuffet Belt instead. If you're lacking in accuracy, use an elemental belt. Both will pull ahead of it.

Their's a bunch of really good WAR with their item sets posted on FFXIAH. Search for Kaerin on Odin or Death on Siren.

[Noob]

Can someone tell me if the Retaliation Damage +20% gained from Ravager's Calligae +2 is gained just from wearing them upon activation, or must they be equipped when retaliation procs for the damage boost to take effect? Asking this because sometimes I'm wearing Phorcys Schuhs with my PDT set on instead of them.

[Nattack]

are you positive on that? I was told when gearing my ninja that dex+15 would easily outweigh crit+4 or 3 or whatever it was. But I'll look into it

NIN? O.o You posted your WAR sets.

[Nattack]

clearly, but im applying the same idea, a mixture of str and dex for critbased weaponskills. Does the same idea not apply for this?

[Noob]

You would be incorrect in doing so, because Ukko's Fury doesn't work the same way, hence why DEX isn't stacked for it. You aim for a specific amount of critical hit rate in gear, then stack a combination of STR, Attack, and Double Attack (primarily).

The gearsets I listed above are optimal.

[Nattack]

the same way? how is it different from any other crit ws? aside from having a huge str mod.

Much higher base crit rate even after the nerf and more ways to pump crit rate outside of gear

Thanks muchly. Was the kind of info I was hoping for.

Aluh/Oynos is gonna be your best bet if you don't have outside haste options; well worth Aluh's ~1.2m pricetag and then some.

very well, i will look into it. reading Kaerin's post on the matter now

[Kohan]

It seems FFXI is either lagging heavily or completely booting people out of the game altogether, and I for one am not only stuck in PlayOnline now, but I'm being treated to the glorious view of a POL that can't load any assets:



I've been texting a few people, and they're experiencing similar problems. Some people are in and stable, where others drop out and can't get back in after zoning.

Anyone else experiencing this?

EDIT: Apparently, I'm not the only one (http://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/34...-play/#2107872). Time to go find something else to do.
