Then don't play mnk. Unless you're using Vereth to hold you over to one of the Adoulin weapons, there's no reason not to have SSpiral, then when you get an Adoulin weapon, you use SSpiral.

If you're 15/15, play one of those jobs then.

Edit: Alternatively, you can get lv 99 vereth, and use Victory Smite when they allow you to port your ws over

15/15 already

1/5 Shinjin >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Asuran / Tornado / Ascetics

[Dotsudoku]

Dunno' how anyone can have this dilemma anymore. Spread your WS merits out, you lose relatively little now

[NynJa]

Didnt people say that the difference between a well buffed reso at 1/5 and 5/5 is like 200-250 dmg?

[Guitarman]

Is it really so little a difference now? I'd love to just go nuts with merits. Any of them that really need to be kept at 5/5?

[Modoru]

I guess whatever your "main" is?

Are those chapuli logs complete, i.e.; is there filtered shit happening? idk why i'm asking, it's obviously the case since I don't see Kehhiko's damage.

Meditation definitely boosts their attack/guard(?) rate and they seem to be able to counter a WS with with their own, which is why you see multiple WS quickly. I haven't played around with chapuli too often since testing their elemental resistances

1) 1/5 merits in just about any merit weaponskill is an improvement over non-merit/empyrean weaponskills.

EG:
Vere 90 using 1/5 Shijin would have an overall DPS increase of approximately 8%-8.5% compared to Asuran/Ascetic's.


2) The higher the base damage of the weapon, the less valuable higher tiers of a merit weaponskill will be.

EG:
Vere 90 (using Shijin) has an overall DPS increase of +3.39% when going from 1/5 to 5/5
Oatixur (using Shijin) has an overall DPS increase of +1.97% when going from 1/5 to 5/5


3) The greater the percentage of total damage for a given job comes from weaponskills, the more valuable higher tiers of a merit weaponskill will be.

EG:
Vere 90 (using Shijin) has a melee/WS split of 61.6%/38.4% (for a given gear config), and gets a DPS increase of 3.39% when going from 1/5 to 5/5
Kanton on sam (using Shoha) has a melee/WS split of 23.8%/76.2% (for a given gear config), and gets a DPS increase of 6.80% when going from 1/5 to 5/5



Combining 1 and 3 (and further skewed via higher damage weapons, with respect to #2), getting 1/5 in Shijin (if no Smite) gains you more than you'd get by going from 1/5 to 5/5 in Shoha.

I filter her damage, theres nothing missing though from the top one though to throw things off.

Is there any pre-requisites to delve or can I just join a shout

[Obsidian]

None.

I've finally registered Adoulin, but now I am getting some weird error. I had installed it Aldouin already, just not registered, now that I am registered, whenever my character moves, my position is shown in an [x][z][y] format. My chat log is spammed like mad. I've never seen anything like this. Anyone have any ideas? I'd post a screenshot, but I need 10 posts first.

Sorry took me so long to reply.

This is the error he's talking about:

Looks like official windower to me so doubt it's a 3rd party program thing but idk.

[Cream Soda]

[Teknique]

Can you obtain skillups in colonization rieve off rocks in morimar?
Ps theres a parser in windower 4 thats funky cs.

[Obsidian]

Current parser memlocks?

kparser should obtain it automagically.

[Cream Soda]

kparser should obtain it automagically.

Doesn't work w/ battlemod then? only thing i can think of

[Obsidian]

No it does not.

[Nishida]

Is there a way to show weakness/procs/other system messages that get filtered out when using battlemod other than unloading it?

[Sechs]

Thanks Motenten and everybody else.
