Frontline General

I have no idea how you guys are even getting 30-50 matches a week unless you spend literally all your playtime in a FL queue. Are you not queueing Duty Roulette for Frontlines?

[Seravi Edalborez]

I dunno. Once you get onto the queue train it's not unusual to ride like 10+ matches with no downtime between them.

[kisada]

when i queue i go slaughter only, E only, in progress.

[Sepukku]

The 2 minutes prep time is when you refill your drink / hit the restroom - finish your games and instantly requeue and hop into the next match quickly and you can get a good cycle going.

[kisada]

some very strong premades rolling tonight. very competitive. good matches

[Tobi]

I just wish flames were actually worth a damn... I feel both adder and maelstrom strats strictly rely on how ass flames is. If flames were alot more competitive, I feel the matches would be a lot more intense and maybe actually a bit more fun even if slaughter. Flames basically feeds maelstrom to the point where they win easily, or adder, or just feeding both an equal amount, whereas you won't see many adder feeding mael, or many mael feeding adder, just on the occasion every now and then.

I won't deny the fact I mainly been playing in premade all this week, my first time running with premade group since july/august, lol. My group is mainly against abusing the fuck out of cometeor though, which is why you don't see us use it as often as the flames premade does. I still feel like they have to rely on that to win, not that I'm mad or anything, play2win, efficiency, etc.

[kisada]

how was FL yesterday? i queued up a couple times in between TT and i only ever got 24 mans even in the afternoon lol.

i assume it was pretty much dead?

[Tobi]

yea, I mainly got 24mans, then I got a 72man around 7pmish EST, then a bunch of 72mans started popping later on in the night according to the LS, I had stopped before then. Hopefully there will be more 72s today. I'm probably just gonna work on finishing my nin relic today so I can grind my blm one out in FL since its all I play there minus 24man.

Garbage queues stink. Also being in French from Wolves Den RIP.

If it is level sync to 80 how does the 90 or more morale armor work?

[garudyne]

It applies morale and then syncs apparently according to people's tests as opposed to just doing morale boost. I think morale gear has higher secondaries in PvP areas with sync. (sometimes stuff that is i130/i135 syncs to better stats though)

[cute]

A 90 Morale item will be same to a 100 item when it is sync at 80? Or will 90 go to 80 then gain Morale?

[Kiarax]

Everything is essentially item level 80. But higher item levels scaled down can potentially have slightly stronger secondary stats just because of how scaling works. Just making up numbers here but it should make sense hopefully. For examples sake say an item level 80 item has a secondary stat cap of 30, it might have something like +30 crit +20 accuracy on it by default, meaning the crit is capped but accuracy isn't. If you then took an item level 110 piece that had say crit +40 and accuracy +30, the item would get scaled down to i80 but the secondary stats would both be capped at 30 due to how scaling works in this game. Instead of having one maxed secondary stat you have both maxed on the item for an extra 10 accuracy.

[Seravi Edalborez]

The short explanation: wear the highest ilvl pieces you can that do not have accuracy. Treat morale gear as if morale was being applied (i110 pvp = i130).

[Spider-Dan]

If you think of it as each item having a "major" and "minor" secondary stat, iLVL synced items are capped at the "major" total for both secondary stats on the item.

I wouldn't just wear the highest iLVL items, though. You still want best secondaries (e.g. SCH wants CRT/DET and not PIE), but you ideally want both stats above the i80 "major" cap on secondary stats.

What is acc to hit players all of times?

[kisada]

363 physical

[garudyne]

Definitely not a fan of this 'manor' strategy even when we know the Adders send a crapton to manors. Yes, it works sometimes when Kisada or some other people are not there... but it isn't something that is dependable.

[kisada]

donezo

time to send the blm into hiding, where it will only come out to defend the realm when rece unleashes his demon pvp army upon us

or something really nerdy like that, gg

[garudyne]

Congrats.
