In case anyone was wondering and it hasn't been checked out, evoliths with -1/2/3 on a 2hr are now -.5/-1/-1.5 minutes recast delay. Still says -1/2/3 in the text though.

Does the Divine Caress bonus from Orison Mitts +2 take effect only if you have it equipped during the job ability or can you do the ja in idle and cast in it?

Always gotta have gear equipped when using the ja if said gear boosts/augments the ja. I don't think you need to keep them equipped for the spell though.

I'd list the exceptions to that except it's a big list. Generally speaking instant action jas and enhances that boost duration need to be equiped during ja activation but buff type ones need worn when you want the effect. As far as gloves go not sure. But if there is any correlation body has to be worn when you cast to enhance afflatus...

old wiki says
"The equipment must be worn when the ailment-removing spell is cast, not when Divine Caress is initially used."

With windower aliases, is it possible to create a toggle?

I have "weapon" and "weapoff" aliased to enable and disable spellcast changing weapon slots respectively. While this works, it would be nice if just "weapontoggle" or "weaptog" would alternate the option on or off. I tried aliasing within an alias but it didn't seem to work.

How I was trying it was with three aliases:

alias A
alias B
alias C

Alias C is the one to be called normally. It calls A, which does "alias C B". Calling alias C again then runs alias B which ends with "alias C A". Am I crazy or just trying to do something too complicated?

Looking for the easiest and/or fastest way to farm and kill Isgebind for taking an emp to 90.

I can cleave for KIs or just camp the NM, but unsure which is faster or more efficient. THF+WHM enough to kill him?

Ideally you can do both. Kill the KI NM, cleave raptors between pops. Yes, THF+WHM should be fine.

Gracias.

I dunno how to do it with aliases, but I've got a pair of windower scripts that I use to toggle fillmode on and off.

The first one is "wireoff.txt" and is run automatically at start.

"fillmode 0
bind f10 exec wireon.txt"

the second one is "wireon.txt"

"fillmode 1
bind f10 exec wireoff.txt"


Something similar would probably work for you.

You can do that within the spellcast or within the alias. Radec knows how to do the alias version, but the SC version would be . . .

<var name="Weapon">off</var>

<if spell="trigger0">
<if advanced='"$Weapon"!="off"'>
<var cmd="set Weapon off" />
</if>
<else>
<var cmd="set Weapon on" />
</else>
</if>

Then alias to do trigger0

rng- T1 5/5 rapid shot the rest suck. T2 5/5 snapshot then whatever you want. I like recycle because bullets are expensive. The 2 abilities don't make that much of a diff with the timer on them.

Recycle also if you've got RNG AF2 Augmented hat.

A case could be made for Camouflage and the hidey-shooty-enmity deal, but there are rare instances these days where you'll get the full effect of that.

Solo'ing locations for lvl37-44 range? Working in Qufim FoV currently, but these worms don't look like they'll be EP for another level.

What's some quick and easy Blm sets, mainly for doing staff trials? (no NNI gear yet)

I don't have Tenryu Tekko +1 and never will get them unfortunately so I am looking at alternative SAM builds.

Would 3 Set Usu +1 (Head/Hands/Feet) Beat 2 set with Brego? I know I will be at 24% but with the 2.2% Magical from AF3+2 Legs (When hasso is up of course) seems like a worthy trade off for a chunk of double attack, besides I really only play SAM in voidwatch or zerg situations so I'll have haste out of the arse anyway.

Emp +2 legs give JA haste since the Hassozanshin update, not magic.

Cap Haste, 5hit, then worry about DA/TA/QA.

Thanks, I thought about doing it that way as well, and was planning to use it as a backup if //weapon and //weapoff starts to bug me.

The first one is "wireoff.txt" and is run automatically at start.

"fillmode 0
bind f10 exec wireon.txt"

the second one is "wireon.txt"

"fillmode 1
bind f10 exec wireoff.txt"


Something similar would probably work for you.

I'm 90% sure fillmode toggles 1 and 0 automatically if you just keep invoking fillmode. So //fillmode would turn wireframe on, then calling //fillmode again would turn it off. So, really, just bind F10 fillmode would work and you can spam F10 all you want to turn it on/off.

As sam, how much gear haste is needed to cap delay with capped magic haste/hasso+ legs and sword strap ?

Need 79.4% Haste to cap delay with sword strap.

43.3% magic
