Just curious, how are peoples' LSes faring post bomb drop? Haven't seen like, 1/3-2/3 of my LS even on since update lol. I figured the first day it was the server congestion but it didn't change. I guess we'll see this weekend.

<== completely social LS here, lots of people

A lot of them don't even have the expansion, majority of those who have don't even know what to do, how to farm bayld, how to use imprimaturs etc.
The few of us who used to be more "experienced" players are kinda depressed and are losing the motivation to log, the others are still farming seals/empys, but I fear they don't even know what's going on.

Even the regular mobs have decent evasion, unless Apex Arrow has some very large accuracy bonus assosciated with it I doubt it. The new buyable GKT seems to fall short of Koga in capped acc situations with no cor (not by much) but in regards to delve thats completely unrealistic. The 30k gkt will be the best option, especially once it has been ranked up with acc primary/dex tertiary.

Well was mostly along the lines of a 1h ws having a large acc boost, assuming this applies to ranged as well. Also would have a lot of acc in your ws set since you would be stacking AGI.

Before I make a REALLY bad google drive excel file to calculate mob INT MDB and MDT and also calculate player damage once a mob's values have been determined.

Has someone has already made a magic damage calculator that is current as of lv99 cap and can at least do calculations for a BLM?

From what I understand Avatar's have ~52.4% PDT naturally and that can be further enhanced by Avatar/pet PDT equip.
How it is calculated tho? With let's say 20%PDT in equip its gonna be 1-(0.8*0.476)=~0.62 so ~62%PDT?

(1- Base PDT - Gear PDT)*(1-Stout Servant), I think

So Avatar's PDT cap is not 50% (87.5%?) and to cap it I need like 37%PDT in equip?

Yeah. That's how I understand it.

Random questions about BLU.

1) What's the max level of TH it can get through BLU traits?
2) Whichever it is, does it stack with Tarutaru sash?
3) Whichever it is, does it stack with TH from /THF?

[Vendog]

Does the free Square Enix security token app give you the additional storage with it?

Not currently, though they've stated that they're looking to add that at some point. source

(1- Base PDT - Gear PDT)*(1-Stout Servant), I think

It used to just be 1-base-gear-SS but that led to invincibiility hijinks with gearing/atmas so pretty sure they seperated base from the rest. idk let me check my notes lol

Edit: nvm forgot I retested it and seems they changed it again to what you said it is. Cap is still 87.5 and SS is randomly rendered pratically useless

To get the Triple Shot bonus/enhancement from Navarch's Frac do I need to wear it for activation only or for the duration of it? What % increase does it have? Is it more beneficial to wear that than other pieces for TP while TS is up?

Many member of my social LS pt in CN/Abyssea 24/7 before and after SoA lol.

Then after they hit 1 job 99 then CN/Abyssea pt again for 2nd job, 3rd job, then quit. Some of them would start AF3+1 farm, but most quit before they +2 5/5. Then new returning/new player would come in, repeat and quit.

Not sure why'd SE replace R/E/M with delve weapons to please those come and go players, it's not like they'd care to do SoA content to begin with.

I believe you only need to wear it for activation only. I've tested it, although sample size isn't big enough to be 100% sure(I used around 2~ stacks of bullet when I tested it), there's a noticeable increase in proc rate if you wear it for activation and take it off again.

Again, sample size to small to be 100% sure, but it's around 5% increase, can be higher than that though.

I've done virtually none of the Wings of the Goddess missions (I'm on "Purple, the New Black") and want a moonshade earring... how much of it could be solo'd on DNC99? How much help will I need to get through the whole thing?

[Seeum]

It's been a while since I did it, but I think a decently geared DNC could probably solo most of it. A buddy and I duo'd the entirety of it at 99 (mix of jobs, lots as blu + nin or bst x2).

[TacoTaru]

Considering finish Daurdabla for my wife since Kannagi is dead. How does BRD with harp work? Can I sing all my songs with harp, then resing with proper instrument for the correct potency and keep extended duration? Or do you just sing the two you want with full potency and one with harp?
