Seiokona beret good for anything beside GoH compared to nq chelona hat?

**Prothescar** · 2012-08-21 17:30

Not particularly. NQ hat vs beret for SB might be close

**doctorugh** · 2012-08-27 12:46

Is there any consensus on where acc should be to be at or near cap? (500?550?) And I know this varies of course with mob and event. But lets say for neo-nyzul NMs toward the end (80 to 100).

**Prothescar** · 2012-08-27 17:50

Shouldn't have any issue capping ACC in NNI on anyone except Gullool, and he isn't a problem with Aggressor.

**Prothescar** · 2012-08-29 19:16

Bilgestorm's ACC down is -10 if anyone cares

**Nightfyre** · 2012-08-29 19:23

Totally merits the five minute cooldown.

**Prothescar** · 2012-08-29 19:25

Meh, I look at it more as an Angon every 5 mins with the ATK and ACC downs as a bonus, but with Tourb being fixed (hopefully) it's just there for a convinient Piss Storm macro

it is surprising though. I expected it to mirror the DEF and ATK downs, -25 or so.

**Nightfyre** · 2012-08-29 19:29

I do the same, but I still think that a whopping -10 acc down for a UL spell is silly and that UL as a whole is equally silly given the rather non-broken nature of the spells involved. At least Tourbillion is (hopefully) fixed.

**Prothescar** · 2012-08-29 19:32

Meh. UL is the worst concept we've seen in a long, long, long time. Majority, if not all, of the spells are similar or dwarfed in potency compared to our other spells, the only one that could be called relatively broken would be Bloodrake, but even then its cost is prohibitive enough to prevent excessive spammage and they could have attached a 1.5m recast on it. The only real upside is that they don't cost points or slots to set, but a 5m recast is far too high imo.

**dasva** · 2012-08-29 19:37

I don't really have a huge problem with 5 mins.... it's just tieing them all together for your choice of 1 every 5 min. I mean being able to do each one once every 5 min would've been reasonable

**Prothescar** · 2012-08-29 19:38

Give us charges like stratagems, 1 per 90 seconds or so with a max of 3, and I'd be happy

**Ophannus** · 2012-08-30 00:10

Letting UL spells at least have auto-Chain Affinity would be nice that way we can solo self double darkness.

That of coarse wouldn't be 'balanced' thou.

**Kaisha** · 2012-08-30 08:15

They'd make it BST style. Every spell requires X amount of charges to use.

Spoiler: show

**dasva** · 2012-08-30 12:07

Hell I'd even be happy if they broke it up even a little. Like one for magical one for physical like they do ca/ba

**Alistaire** · 2012-08-30 21:49

Thoughts on http://www.ffxiah.com/item/10782/ambuscade-ring for BLU melee set?

**dasva** · 2012-08-30 22:01

Could be wrong but I don't really see it beating rajas/eponas

**Galiber** · 2012-08-31 11:00

I also noticed that ring today... I'm guessing it would beat Rajas in Legion but not outside? Idk.

**Vriska** · 2012-08-31 17:12

> BLU
> Legion

Pick one.

**doctorugh** · 2012-09-01 07:51

Wouldnt BLU be better off nuking in Legion than standing in front of a mob absorbing AOE's? (Honest question, I've only done Legion x2)
