You start casting when the body disappears. It needs to hit before the weakness status registers on that player.

the glitch is that the Regen Effect (Medica II) or SS effect (succor) make the weakness glitch so it doesnt appear

And yeah as soon as you see the 'ball' appear when the person teleport on raise cast your spell

Reading this was making me wonder about the stats on the Darklight gear. A bunch of it has crit+, but the Cowl doesn't. Does that mean that it would probably be best to roll with The Evoker's Horn/Body because of the large amounts of Crit over the Darklight or other bodies/head? At least until you can attain Summoner's head/body anyway.

**Ratatapa** · 2013-09-09 13:22

people need to stop giving so much attention to the Cowl

**Garaku** · 2013-09-09 13:24

I was mostly wondering because lots of groups are requiring full Darklight etc., but why would I want to buy/wear something inferior if what I have is better? lol

Cowl vs Argute Mortarboard+Strategos Bliaud:
MND: 33 vs 34
PIE: 19 vs 26
VIT: 32 vs 34
Det: 29 vs 15 (and Spell Speed +17)

(link) I found ~8 Determination to do jack of all shit to our heals, so I really doubt 14 makes a bigger difference. Cowl loses in all other fields. Tell the haters to blow a goat.

Anyone have problems with fairy getting massive amounts of hate at the beginning of a boss fight?

I had this happen once, but it was because my DF tank sucked balls. (Note: I'm only lv33, so if you're referring to endgame, I can't help you) When your DoTs are ticking every 3 seconds, it doesn't take long to build up hate quickly.

Did your tank pull with Provoke (which is incredibly stupid to do) while Whispering Dawn is active?

Yep. Eos pulled hate from the tank during Garuda Hard. I'm just going to assume that the tank was shit though.

**Seravi Edalborez** · 2013-09-10 14:32

I don't think it's voke pulls but I hadn't really considered the regen ticks. Might explain a lot.

**The Blackrose** · 2013-09-10 14:37

Provoke pulls would actually matter. It's not like FFXI where Provoke a static amount of enmity. It's more where it takes the person's highest level of hate on the target and adds 1. It's no better than running in to engage.

**Seravi Edalborez** · 2013-09-10 14:55

Er, I meant I think the tanks were pulling with Shield Lob / Tomahwak so it wasn't an issue there.

**Denmork** · 2013-09-10 15:18

Is anyone having a problem with shadow flare covering up the red AoE/Cones? It made a Chimera group I had impossible to dodge because I could never see where the attack was coming from, this is with all effects including my own filtered.

**Majidah** · 2013-09-10 17:01

Question:

What is the correlation between physick's potency and mind? ie: how much mnd = how much more hp?

I am tempted to make a crit build in order to get the most out of the magicked barrier; but I'm not sure how much mind I'm able to sacrifice without seeing a drop in my performance.
If I'm able to push my crit ratio to 20-30% I'll be happy.

**Podginator** · 2013-09-10 17:25

I really feel like 'Place' should have the pet move back to that position after a knock-back attack. I've been doing a lot of Amdapor Keep, and the pet will follow me and get hit with every single black patch in the Demon wall fight. He doesn't take a lot of damage from it, so instead of him getting hit with slow I thought I'd keep him in the middle so that he'd only be hit with Heavy, but he got knocked back into the poison area and died because place meant he wasn't moving forward with everyone.

It's also been an bit of an issue in ifrit hard, where if I have him by my side he'll be too far out of reach to cast on people, and if I place him I'll have to keep moving him forward every now and then.
