I think twilight body (or better yet, the body obsidian listed), drachenhorn, augmented heca+1 feet, moonshade earring, demonry core, and wanion belt would be upgrades for the cdc set.

Req set has some weird stuff in it too, like mekira head over twilight/drachen horn (unless you set it to matching day?), caudata belt over elemental, and a str ring/ammo over mnd equivalents.

[dasva]

Yeah the additions suggested are good as well Augmented legs maybe hands not sure. augemented Valk. Sabatons for feet. 2acc 9att can get 3 crit rate and 5 crit dmg

My brain is broken: it's 5:39am EST right now, 10:37 in-game, and there's <6 days until the next conquest tally. Is conquest going to tally before JP midnight?

In regards to Dynamis, my playtime sucks of the past year, I 2-box'd the city wins np. My idea for Angra Mainyu (Dyna-Beu) is to have my (main) SMN tank it, cause Death will "no effect" on Avatars(?) Trying to tri-box kite will be rough, if I dedicate my WHM mule to cure bomb my MNK kite while the SMN focuses on the Eye... Does that seem promising?

You really need someone to train away the adds.

edit: well you said mnk kite, but the eye calls for help, so is the mnk training like back to the entrance of dyna? I don't think smn can solo that mob, which seems to be what you are asking.

Should be 11AM. The game uses "0 days until" in a number of places

The fight radius is just around Fe'yin(sp) But yeah, my thought was a SMN solo while the MNK and WHM kite the extras. Funny that the "hug the wall!!!" fight is as pain in the ass now as it was back then.

DST is today, but Japan doesn't have that. Might have something to do with that but probably what Cairthenn said.

You can't kite the mobs that far anymore I think, otherwise you're out of range. The fight is like VW now. The person who pops will have hate on all 5 mobs so needs to be able to kite. Not sure if they're supertankable. SOmeone else grabs the eye but he still ports etc. Didn't spam death on us or anything

Would not Demonry Core/Phorcys Mitts/Phorcys Schuhs/Grandoyne's Mail be better for CDC? I dunno how TP bonus Moonshade compares to a Jupiter's.

Out of all the suggestions for CdZ, the only ones that made it better were Wanion and Augmented Hecatomb. Demonry can't be equipped by PLD.

Regarding the Requiescat set, well, that's what happens when you post at 3 AM... You post the KotR vs CdZ sheet instead of the correct one. The correct comparison, including the gear you guys suggested is as follows:

Spoiler: show

As you see, and now that I'm comparing Requiescat vs CdZ, and not KotR vs CdZ, the difference is abysmal. And, even if it goes down the stronger the mob, Requiescat with Excalibur is always (or at least, in all the situations I've tested) superior to CdZ with Almace.

[Obsidian]

Dunno if it's going to make a difference, but you're not using the set bonus from Phorcys, and although I'm an idiot and forgot PLD isn't on Demonry Core, I still think something like Cheruski Needle will be better than a +2 attack ammo. I'm not good at math, but I'm pretty surprised that Grandoyne's Mail is worse than Phorcys Korazin, and that augmented Valkryrie feet/Hecatomb legs would be worse as well. That seems bizarre to me.

[Taim Meich]

Oh, forgot to add the Phorcys bonus. Still, 2 STR isn't going to change much.

[Dotsudoku]

Is it safe to say that, against most older content, Falcorr's white damage is going to pretty handily outpace the master's? I don't have Portus Collar, so I'm deciding whether I should store Nefarious and slip AF3 into the neck slot for the sake of a bit more DA on Falc

I wanna do some testing this week, which weapon skill add effect has the lowest duration ?

[damet]

For sCH, do u actually have to hit 501 or is 500 enough for that extra tick of TP?

Man just noticed how much gear isn't in the pld gear section.... played around with it a bit and best setup I could get
almace/aegis/X/Cheruski Needle
Drachenhorn/rancor/brutal/moonshade(att/tpbonus)
Fulad-Zereh/heca(with 4 crit dmg and swd skill)/rajas/jupiters(with 6 att)
aethling/wanion/heca (4 crit rate)/Huginn Aug (10 crit dmg)

I entered your set in with what you said and for some reason CDC came out to be higher than yours (1642 to your 1576) idk maybe different tp sets leading to more overtping? Anyways the set I just posted put it up to 1874 alot closer to your scat numbers. Little busy right now but I'd imagine part of the reason excal is doing better is with the circumstances you setup you get alot out of the 40 att on excal but the enlight acc boost or just cdc being more accurate with all the dex stacking isn't doing anything

500

Kinda depends on what you refer to as fodder and of course your gearing. Like low lvl ep/tw yeah unless you are geared pretty good for bst DD it will though ruinator well ruins shit lol. But it drops off quick at like DC and even higher lvl eps sometimes.

Edit: Also I'm probably partly biased being taru so I have like 220 less hp which means 55 less dmg per excal proc or on average 8.25 per hit which kinda sucks. Well that and I have 3 ws merited that add alot more to those jobs then scat does to pld

[Dotsudoku]

Yeah, that's why I mentioned my lack of Portus. If it were something that increased my WSfrequency I wouldn't be second guessing myself, but as it stands, I'm looking at 3% crit rate for me, or 2% DA for my pet

And mostly talking about T1-T4 ZNM and Dynamis EP/DC

Same race, job/subjob, merits, buffs, mob and debuffs? Did you look how much time your TP set needed for 100 TP, and lowered the 30% ODD of Almace accordingly if it was higher than 30 seconds?

I usually choose Hydra RNG as the target mob because it's hard enough that attack isn't going to be capped naturally (for one-handers), its stats are pretty high so some effort has to be made to cap/increase dDEX and fSTR, yet isn't something like Qilin without Stalwarts or Ig-Alima.
