Skirmish III findings

[Lyramion]

I dont believe there is any indication of what augs you can get on bow, so its tough to tell.
Theres a SS on AH of a gun w/ DMG+11 Ratk+8 and WSDmg+10%, bow can probably get something like DMG+20 or so even. So you'd be looking at D240/540 with higher racc/ratk than Eminent Bow's D277/720. That delay on Eminent Bow is kinda painful in the long run. Get a Bocu+2 and toss a couple stones at it and see what you get.

This guy went on a fun +2 spree on bow: http://www.ffxiah.com/screenshots/73757

Impressive augment on that Bow. I totally got time for that.

[Yeager]

Wasn't it determined that even best augmented Ninzas +2 were still behind Oats? Not trying to start a bandwagon war, but with Delve being lowman capable now, I have a hard time grasping the reasoning behind going for Ninzas, unless what I read was incorrect.

I thought I read something earlier in this thread that determined the augment needed for Ninzas +2 to be equal to Oatixur's DPS is DMG +8? Or was that assessment proven to be incorrect?

[Alistrianna]

that same person said something with their spreadsheet was borked and it came out worse once the issue was fixed.

Well shit. Wasted KI, wasted +2 stone. FML

I'm guessing Ninzas +2 are a nice "consolation prize" for those who can't get Delve wins still. Sadly, on Shiva there's still a bunch of those.

[Priran]

I made a mistake, how something inputted wrong on spread sheets.

Ninzas are pretty junk, they are about equal to oats with good augments

this is the actual post

[Hirronimus]

Iclamar +2:

Wailing Stone +1 - DMG+21 Double Attack+1
Wailing Stone +2 - DMG+24 STR+8 Accuracy+8

[dasva]

So don't think I've seen this reported yet....

[macross]

and oats aren't even as good as tinhaspa!

[Outlaw]

I finally got a +2 stone for my Crobaci+2 the other day. Not buying them because they are too dang expensive. I was pretty happy with the augment.

dmg+22
Acc.+8
Weapon Skill Acc.+1

[Jicent]

Yeah I spent about 8 mil in stones on my ninzas +2 got damage +7 crit +2 and ws dmg +10. Not half bad.

[Reiden]

So don't think I've seen this reported yet....

I got that with 8 dmg, acc 7 and waltz 2%

[Lyramion]

Never saw Mcrit listed on the staff:

[Tarage]

I have a coat with -1 perp on it. Would this somehow prevent me from getting any other -perp on it with +1 stones? I've burned through 3 stacks and I haven't seen a damn -perp augment.

[dasva]

No it's completely random. But hag set has 10 different augments to chose from so getting the one you want at any amount can take awhile

[Sechs]

Small numbers so nothing statistically relevant buuuuut since the update I've done:
1) 3x ra'kaznar Skirmish 1/1/1
2) 9x ra'kaznar 3/3/3 or higher

Went 2/3 with the low tier and 0/9 with the high tier.
Numbers seem barely better than they were before patch. I remember I went 0/11 on high tier and got ~2 KIs from like, what, 4 or 5 low tier runs?
Wailing+2 drop rate seem worse (probably bias?) but Pulchidropt is noticeably higher droprate.

Funny single personal chest of the week from a 4/4/4 run: 5x Philosopher's stone lol




Side note since I were arguing with other people yesterday: what are the gimmicks for:
1) Ironclad
2) Chapuli
3) Rock guy (don't remember the name... it's the one made of rock with the crazy insane range AoE, doesn't appear on Widescan until you "activate" it)

Ironclad: No magic dmg / SC - will only make him do AOE dispel spins
Chapuli: Only WS / nuke when it casts? Might have some other gimick. It's FastCast seems to go up when it rages and go way way down when you "calm" it? Never figured it out fully tbh. Weak to Earth and takes double earth dmg when it casts.
Rock guy: Only WS during his WS or he has a chance to collapse and make you naked. Weak to Thunder.

[Sechs]

Thanks, I was right at least on the Ironclad and Rock Guy. Yesterday someone was so adamant on saying that Ironclad was "no piercing damage" >.>

Chapuli is normally not an issue with competent people, it dies fast.
But yesterday he repeatedly spammed a very high range AoE (seemed to be at least 20 yalms) which did over 2k damage to all of us, 3k to some.
I had never seen that AoE before and was surprised.
We wiped lol, Bard kinda kited for a bit then a weakened MNK which I just raised used Inner Strength and Hundred Fists and engaged it, and we all died again.
To make things worse, Behemoth repopped on us as I was raising people.
We barely manage to complete objective #2 in time on that 4/4/4 run lol, was fun.

[Byrthnoth]

I've nuked the Chapuli for over 25k damage with Stone V. I think he takes more damage when he's casting and he takes a buttload of damage from earth.

[Warusha]

My highest was a 34k Stoneja. Also <3 instacast and gearswap. I haven't noticed the aoe dispel spam on Ironclad after magic damage. The issue with low magic damage on him is a macc issue, elemental seal and subtle sorcery damage is just fine. Also, stun can land despite ls members suggesting it can't! ask the bard for a threnody and get int boost, int songs if people aren't too busy.
