WHM Melee random crap

[Foldypaws]

Yeah I'd be more interested to see what a PLD, who has access to a lot better DD gear and 20 more skill in club can do against something hard.

I'm going to laugh if we see all the Ochain/Aegis PLD with Moepapa Mauls XD

[Atoreis]

Like I wrote in other topic:

PLD/war with:
Deae Gratia (35 base dmg) and Ochain so no sub hand hit
85+62MND(I might be off by like 5 dont remember)
999+att (stalwart+berserk+rcb)
on Kaggen
950-1350 with new Club WS.

[Alkimi]

Also, from the other thread:

What's this? DD gear that WHM can use that isn't from 75 cap or mini-expansions? Madness!

Head:
HP+30 STR+5 INT+8 MND+8
Magic Accuracy+3
Set: Magic Accuracy+5
Lv.96 WHM/BLM/RDM/BLU/SMN/BRD/SCH

Legs:
STR+10 INT+13 MND+13
Evasion+10 Accuracy+10
Haste+3%
Set: Occasionally consumes no MP
Lv.98 WHM/BLM/RDM/SMN/BRD/SCH

Hands:
MP-15 STR+7 VIT+7 MND+7

Feet:
MP-20 STR+5 Accuracy+5
"Store TP"+4 Haste+2%
Lv.99 WHM/BLM/RDM/BRD/SMN/PUP/SCH

Waist:
STR+9 Attack+25 Double Attack-5%
Lv.98 All Jobs

Back:
Attack+17
"Everyone's Rancor"
Lv.98 All Jobs

Will this scale the same as Grudge and Rancor do for +50% crit rate and +100% damage taken lol?

Random question that I thought would fit better here: Wiki lists Mjollnir's MP recovery effect as being overwritten by samba always. Is that the case, or does it overwrite the samba when it activates like other additional effects?

[Alkimi]

The MP recovery definitely takes priority over sambas, however enspells and auspice probably overwrite it in the same way as excalibur works.

[Kyte]

Okay, that's how I would have expected it to work.

After testing, we concluded that there is a need to lower the damage dealt by the club weapon skill Realmrazer. We'll be making adjustments so that Realmrazer is the strongest club weapon skill for jobs that cannot learn Hexa Strike.

lol

Sure, I'd love to continue to use the same WS I've been using since 2003.

Fucking asshole devs.

[Alkimi]

To be fair, what Byrth is saying on the thread could well turn out. It's not just club, nearly all the ws are really mediocre so there could be a way to enhance them further in the future with a 'Group 2' or whatever.

Yeah Shoha especially lol.

I would rather guess it might be some window for adding other WS in game if they decide to or more than likely a dev using a template from other merit groups and forgetting to change it.

[arus2001]

I'd love to be an optimistic fuck and believe somehow SE has a Group 2 plan to make shit better, but nearly 9 years of playing and the recent "Abyssea was a mistake!" interview have convinced me to not hold my breath.

And instead of nerfing these things to uselessness, I'd rather see G2 merits further tailoring a given WS to the jobs that can use. For example, Realmrazer for WHMs could get an added effect of MP return, basically making it a Mystic Boon on crack. For PLDs it could have higher enmity generation, or even override enmity mechanics to force a mob onto the PLD for 5 seconds or so. WARs could get something like "Improves Blunt damage bonus" for the WS. Pick some creative for BLUs. I dunno. Shit won't happen and I already think restricting the WS behind merits is retarded, nevermind the attack penalties and all the "balancing" that's gone on.

Pretty much this. When Ass Fuck McShitty Producer Tanaka took back over, I knew this game was doomed.

How could anyone say Abyssea was a mistake? The new WS's will be shit, and I'm sure dumping more merits into them will have some dumb effect. ie.:

Realmrazer L1 - Does Damage
Realmrazer L2 - Does Damage, Aftermath: gives user Subtle Blow for 5 seconds.
Realmrazer L3 - Does Damage, Aftermath: gives user Subtle Blow for 10 seconds.
Realmrazer L4 - Does Damage, Aftermath: gives user Subtle Blow for 20 seconds.

Look, I'm a FFXI dev!

I've got to chill on the rage this morning. I think every post I've made today has some underlying anger in it.

[Prothescar]

well deserved

[arus2001]

It's theraputic. Woosa, little taru.

From Studio Gobli.
Test on new Realmrazer fTP... it goes as low as 0.59375, making an 8-hit a 4.75 fTP total

[Byrthnoth]

Yeah, or 6.3 fTP with Gorget/Belt. 6.3 fTP with a 100% MND mod honestly still isn't that bad.

[Alkimi]

Yeah tried it out this morning some more on different mobs. On trash mobs I can't really decide between this and hexa which is better, damage seemed around the same. On harder stuff Realmrazer generally wins. Although I don't really melee anything hard in general.

For those jobs without hexa it's still the best club WS by a long long way.

[Alkimi]

Is Prosilio Belt (STR+9 Attack+25 Double Attack -5%) worth using for Realmrazer or should I stick with Light Belt? Got hold of one for hexa but wondering if it would be good for this aswell.

Bear in mind it's mostly for use on trash mobs.

Also /hate SE for making Rubeus spats rare/ex and putting them on Kalusatarax. Anyone know how common a drop they are from him?

[Kyte]

Stick with a light belt. Gorgets/belts are the only thing that make Realmrazer salvageable.
