Full Assault Gear Sets

[Nodachi]

so in short, don't get Amir full set b/c it's sorta worthless
and who fights Bahamut anymore >.>?

If you're getting it for the raw stats then yeah, you could say that I guess. But I dig the looks. It's something newish, fun to earn, and makes me look like a NPC. Still though, I'll take any damage reduction I can get if I know the spell is coming, I wouldn't consider that worthless.

Or go to aery, cure whoever claims Fafnir to get on the hate list (not Nidhogg because his 2Hs will mess up the values), and calculate the difference in wing damage. Make sure to have someone else there to cure you so you don't have the MDB from /whm or /rdm.

Mighty Strikes does not effect the strength of magical attacks.

I'll ignore this comment. However, the point was that Nidhogg's wing attacks are not always the same damage and would make testing difficult.

Cursed Sphere from flys is magic damage (water), is reduced by MDB etc. and will do the same damage to each party member (although each sphere will do different damage.) Yes, darters in Aery are good for something other than comedy relief.

I just dumped this on the Monk forums of KI and to save you a trip to slowville, here's the post:

Since last friday I got 5/5 Pahluwan, so naturally I wanted to test this subtle blow on it since I didn't find any info on it.

=D

Anyway I tested this as MNK/WHM. Removed all my additional Subtle Blow gear like Rajas and Black Belt. So that it would just be my Job trait + Pahluwan set.
Spells (at least damaging spells do, afaik enfeebles don't? But that's another topic) give 10 tp to a mob normally, thanks to Monk's Job Trait of Subtle Blow+20 it becomes 8 tp per spell. I brought my BST buddy Shina to La Theine where he would charm some mobs for me. I first casted Stoneskin+Blink on every test to make sure the results weren't messed up by tp gain from hitting me. Then I did Dia, Dia 2 and/or Diaga, usually just did Dia. Dia follows the 10 tp principle since it does damage =)

1 hit: 7tp
2 hits: 14tp
3hits: 21tp
4hits: 28tp
5hits: 36tp
6hits: 43tp
7hits: 50tp
8hits: 57tp
9hits: 64tp
10 hits: 72

This leads me to believe that the set gives Subtle Blow +8. If it was +9 I wouldn't get a 36tp return on 5 hits, that would be 35.5tp which SE rounds down.
It also can't be +7 because then I would get 29tp on 4 hits and not 28tp.

Good work. Too bad the the set's subtle blow is lack-luster.

Real numbers? Where's the fun in that....

More rumours and innuendo please!

OK.

My friend's, roommate's, aunt's, hairdresser's, neighbor's, sister's, boss's, gardener's, girlfriend's, cousin's, grandmother's bingo-playing partner's, son heard from a very reliable source that if you use the whole Yigit set while shooting Muteppos causes the refresh effect to go up to 2MP/3 seconds.

This seems credible to me.

Assuming that a. the person has Genie Gages, which are as of yet far from common (I should know, I have frequently checked for the NM after selling the first pair on my server, and still there has only been 2 sales total), and b. the person has Aborist Nails, again, not a common item yet by far.

Arborist Nails nm is a 4-hr lotto at the most. Only uncommon due to people's ignorance. Jet Seeraweels remained @ 5 mil on alexander for a long time after the info about that being a 4-hr lotto was common knowledge for those who cared to look for it.
