Any advice on "must have" shit for a SCH that's purely for NNI?

Not as worried about cure set, I know where to look for most of that stuff, but I've never really worried about enhancing for much.

So far I've come up with... AF1 legs, AF2 body, AF3 head, alex neck... and that's about it.

Oh, nice. So if under SV I should be singing Victory/Min5, yeah?

Edit: Assuming Haste spell obviously.

Probably, yeah. As long as you have at least +3, I would bet it's better to do SV March/Min than March/March.

[mdkuser]

double potency victory march doesnt cap haste, pretty sure. if marcato stacks with it, it will.

[Byrthnoth]

Magic Haste caps at 448/1024, so 2x Victory March+5 and Haste spell do cap it:
(96+80)*2 +150 = 502

Also with +4 March:
(96+64)*2 + 150 = 470

Not quite with +3 March:
(96+48)*2 + 150 = 438

But then the comparison is 10/1024 Haste vs. ~80 Attack. I would go with the Minuet even if it's only March +3. I would do a second March if it was +2, though.

AF3 hands for perpetuance duration boost are very important, even though they have no enhancing skill.

Main things you don't have there are Kirin's Pole (up to 12 augment), Grip (3), AF3 ammo (4), Aug Earring (3), Merciful Cape (5), Cascade (3) or Olympus (5) sash, and Rubeus Boots (10).

Better body options (Manasa Chasuble, Anhur Robe), but both relatively annoying to acquire. If you are shooting to cap out Embrava with 500 skill, you will need almost everything listed above (need to use AF3 hands for the duration).

I'm a little confused with how dual wield and haste works, so this might not make sense. Is there a point at which having enough dual wield from gear would mean you can remove haste for NIN or DNC or vice versa? DNC maybe moreso than NIN since it seems to get several things that reduce dual wield delay. I'm trying to help my wife work on her gear, but I don't want to go overboard with dual wield and haste both if there's a point at which either become negligible.

[Byrthnoth]

You use this equation:

(1-DW%)*(1-Haste%) = Delay Reduction

You gain from DW/Haste until you start hitting the Delay Reduction cap, which is 20% (0.2). So say you have capped Magic/Gear Haste but no Haste Samba (for some reason) and want to know how much DW you need to cap delay:
(1-DW%)*(1-.4375-.25) = 0.2
(1-DW%) = 0.2/.3125
1-DW% = 64%
DW% = 36%

So you'd need 36% DW to cap in that case.

Kinda depends on what you mean by must have. Obviously you there for embrava so keeping it up for your half of the run is necessary so af3+2 hands. If you just going to be a lamp sitter buffer that's pretty much it though stupidly gimp. I mean as far as enhancing skill goes you already capping haste and wont hit another regain until your set is near perfect.



Now many other things are desired. Like some kind of refresh/sublimation gear, cure sets and nuking sets would be highly desirable for you to actually run out and actively support the dds

[Darkmagi]

But realistically, all you need is enough enhancing skill to cap magic haste with haste spell (or less even with how easy NNI has become) and +2 hands. I would just get started on it as soon as possible before the embrava nerf hits.

This fucking asshole Waoud won't let me unlock Blue Mage. I flagged it, did his 10 questions, told me to to wait a day and try again, and took my 1k. Waited, made sure I answered the correct things, again, told me to fucking wait until another day....what the fuck? I'm raging hard now, because I'm bored as fuck and wanted to unlock this for something to do....someone help before I flip right out.

[Firedemon]

Got it, BG wiki said the answers don't work on drk/nin, add war/blm on that too, what a piece of shit.

[Khajit]

Is there a torrent of the test server client? Downloading it directly would probably take 3x as long.

[Guild43]

Yep.

Am I terrible or are you trolling me? Tried to solo and was paralyzed the entire time, wore me down eventually.

[Yugl]

Run him to the pin spot near conflux zero and use that as a safety zone until he removes spikes. Remember to enfeeble him. You basically want to outlast his nukes and use the pin as distance for when you need to recover.

Edit: I made an error with my earlier post about nuking. I forgot about his absorb trait. PMed additional info.

Yeah I have a bit of refresh and cure stuff from smn and will probably get the cure set up nicely since most will go on smn too anyway, but there's pretty much no way in hell I'm going to bother with a decked out nuking or enfeebling set or anything.

[Talint]

Any general suggestions to landing ninja enfeebles in voidwatch? Got fucked by a Kurayami-5 on Bot Rex, would like to try not have that happen again.

Capped ninjutsu, switch to chatoyant, use the mag acc drink, but I still have to cast a few times before the enfeeble lands (if a mob's not dead by then).

Sub BLM and use ES for the hard ones!

Is Tau ring of any use in Salvage over conventional ring pieces (Rajas specifically.)? Which jobs?

I couldn't get an Anhur to drop (or the new chasuble so far) so I +2'd my relic body. You can get +4 or 5 enhancing on literae sabots until you get rubeus feet

I have a mule with 95 cloth, worth finishing to 100? or past it? Any one have a guide on what to skill up on from 95+?

Anything worth making at this point with high level cloth?
