Store one on the slip and hold the other.

Messing around on DNC/WAR farming bayld, which flourish is best to use with Exenterator? Haven't used DNC in quite some time.

Are Kariyeh feet really better than Omadaka for SAM WS?

Wild Flourish to make Scission.

When did you stop being an intelligent and reasonable poster and succumb to your own arrogance? We're talking about a Mule, and you're basing your accuracy arguments from the PoV of a fucking career mage with 24 (or was it 32?) magian staves.

A mule SCH will not have capped magic acc rate on the content in question. My whm mule is well geared. Capped Boost. Almost optimal barspell set (I'm not paying for an augmenting earring for +1 resist). Capped cure cast time/potency/cureskin. All that shit. It has a good enfeeble set and with light arts it does not have 95% macc rate against salvage2 bosses.

Fuck portant. They're a drain/aspir piece. AF3 are better for enfeeble if you're using the correct grimoire or if it's a MND spell, and shedir is better as an enhance piece for it's extra benefits outside the enhance skill.

Well if you have a gimp shit SCH mule and don't give a fuck about its gear, why are you bothering to do anything but cure then?

You're trying to tout "career mage" as if that's meaningful outside of the gear. First, the number of Magian staves I own means nothing because I'm also speaking from experiences without them. That's clearly stated within the portion you just quoted. My MND sets, in particular, are an absolute mess since I've had little motivation to improve them. I'm not bashful to say this either since SE hasn't made their maximization crucial. Combined with the ease I've had landing the spells, I've found delegating inventory towards other sets or leaving free space for bazaar/treasure much more beneficial. That doesn't mean I don't use the spells or think they're unnecessary, but I'm not compelled to maximize them when given the opportunity cost. How shambled are they? Take a look at my XMLs. I don't carry five of the listed pieces for RDM. I don't carry seven of the listed pieces for SCH. In some cases, this has unintended benefits such as higher potency legs (Nares Trews), but, for the majority of cases, that isn't true. This isn't a matter of career mage versus mule because as far as these MND sets are concerned, they're comparable.

Your obvious tantrum has muddled your focus apparently. What are you hoping to walk away with from this conversation? That SCH+2 legs have the highest magic accuracy when using the corresponding grimoire? Already acknowledged that earlier. That Portant pants aren't the best enhancing piece? Not denying that (They're a utility piece). That Magic Accuracy Magian Staves are good for enfeebling? Not denying that. The disagreement is over the benefit of this magic accuracy.

Edit: Anyways, I'm done with this conversation because we clearly have difference experiences. You have problems landing light based enfeebles, but I don't have that issue. The poster received an answer already and can judge his enfeebling rate himself. RDM is better at accomplishing what they want anyways.

Can anyone that has done the dynamis bastok arch boss give some info about him? Does he do anything that the NQ doesn't? I'm sure he casts death... but anything else special about him?

**Falkirk** · 2013-06-09 12:58

Casts Death/Impact, uses Seismostomp/Land Breath, his 1-HR is Blood Weapon... As long as you have some form of stun, I've read that it can be dual-boxed with DD + WHM. It went down in a couple minutes with MNK/WAR + WHM/THF + BRD + SMN.

The Tome NMs beforehand are more challenging, really.

Best for single hit, and best for Shoha if you need Acc.

NIN/DNC in abyssea gear can down all of the city NMs.
Shadows and Violent Flourish when they're casting Death.

A healer/haster for insurance, if your gear isn't ok.

I have crippling invent issues and I've just realised something that might help at least slightly.

Am I right in thinking a Light + Dark Elemental Gorget and Belt would cover every WS in game?

**CoreyX** · 2013-06-09 15:13

Yes, that's why they made them more "expensive" to make (more organs/tissues/etc. required)
Now if only there were a dark/ice/water/earth obi and a light/fire/thunder/wind obi =/

Unless something changed over the years, no. Light will only cover ws with transfixion/fusion/level 3 light property, dark with compression/gravitation/level 3 dark.

Probably never going to use delve dagger for anything super hard. Go with atk or acc path (for the dex mainly). I'm guessing atk? -nvm went with atk.

Will probably be using rigors hopefully just until r/e/m update, using it on all the harder stuff - acc or atk path?

Haven't played since a few days before Adoulin came out. What do I need to know about this new expansion, and what's the best everything in everything?

Talk to me as if I'm Jon Snow.

Writing this atm. Just keep refreshing as you complete stuff.

Is it possible to reset a Blue Proc in abyssea?
For instance, I'm camping Cuijatender and I see that his proc is Marksmanship, is there any way to change that proc into something else by Fluxing him or the only way is to kill him? Does waiting for the next window change the proc or will it stay the same until it's respawned?

**Kaisha** · 2013-06-09 22:07

Have to get him to idle for the hints to reset.

By Idle you mean let him get full recovery after he starts roaming again?
So fluxing in theory should work, it's not working for me, though. Maybe it's my bad luck, but I kept getting the same hint over and over...

EDIT: It was just bad luck, tried again and the blue proc changed. Good times.
