So... Should I bother with any pieces of wise gear?

Wise Cap isn't a bad Enfeebling piece, although I preferred Elite Beret +1 pre-Duelist's Chapeau. The +INT on the Boots is also decent for nuking, at least until you get Yigit Crackows, Nashira Crackows, Duelist's Boots or Goliard Clogs. I know people who like the Wise Legs who otherwise seem like intelligent people, but I just don't think the +2 Magic Accuracy makes up for the +7/+8 MND or INT of Errant. You *MIGHT* be able to justify it on Sleep, Dispel, Gravity and other all-or-nothing enfeebles, but only if you have plenty of inventory space and know what to use it on and what not to. The Wise Body is ridiculously outclassed by Warlock's Tabard, and the Hands are outclassed by about 10 different pieces of gear.

Oh well, i do have full yigit, mahatma legs, will get an Elite Beret (NQ ;, and Goliard Clogs ;; somebody invite me to nyzul :<


P.S. Also have lolnashira crackows.

I like to use wise+1 hands and errant hands instead of yigit gages for the -enmity, but that's just me. Wise cap+1 probably the best piece on rdm for drain and aspir.

Good point, forgot about that. I go with Wlk. Chapeau +1 for the +5 INT, the Fast Cast, and the +1 Inventory Space over carrying Wise Cap.

Do all items which have abilities which work in Assault work in Salvage as well, or are the ToAU mission rings unique that way? Specifically, I'm curious about Storm Fife and Storm Crackows.

all assault: gear works in salvage.

Does anyone know if KV has TP Regen?

As someone who has been in a kiting party, I firmly believe it has TP Regen as he will draw-in/WS without getting many/any hits off.

This was during nighttime.

Any thoughts?

I kited it for 2hrs yesterday to hold. It definately has TP Regen, it't not a huge regen and since it's 100% it prolly waits till a bit after 100TP to use the TP but it has TP Regen. Would be sch a joke to kite if it didn't. (still is kind of a joke to kite but Draw-In b2b TP moves can suck sometimes.)

2hrs holding, Helm and Shell dorp btw!

do bar status spells reduce the duration of the debuff if landed on you?

Yep.

Do you mean how many people? It's soloable by a number of jobs, though it takes a very, very long time, and a single fuck up means starting again at best.

Do misareaux coast and lufaise share fog? i.e. if fog is present in lufaise, is it also present in misareaux? I wouldn't think so because they're different zones but i've been told differently.

is it impossible now for a bst to solo despot (assuming you could get him to pop ofc.) due to his habit of ws spam? my bst is 71 now and i'm hoping to hit up sky in the near future. curious if i should try to stand my ground if i should somehow pop him, or if i should just run for the hills.

From my understanding, solo is impossible (was?), but duo is very manageable.

Does anyone know what the formula/chart for calculating a mobs stats is? (Eg: a Colibri's AGI, or a Wivre's VIT etc.) I know it has to do with some rank system, but I can't find a formula or chart written anywhere.

Solo used to be possible (not sure if it still is though), but now the bigger issue is probably having it stolen when charming new pets.

I'm new to the DRK zerging thing. I was under the impression that when zerging, blood weapon worked with jump and high jump. Did they nerf it recently or was I always wrong?

Thanks in advance.

souleater works with jumps, not BW.

2% chance of a 50% boost to your weaponskills is pathetic.
3% chance of a 50-100% boost on every regular swing is going to outperform that every single time. my opinions basically match ringthree's, although I like toying with plat on soboro just because of the hit density.

To be fair, that's a bad comparison. The 2% Double Attack grip isn't just "2% chance of a 50% boost to ws". It's that and a 2% higher chance of a 100%+ boost on "every regular swing" (100% being a double attacked non-crit, + if it crits) + more tp whereas your 3%+ crit doesn't speed up your tp at all.

Amele's statement was in reference to what grip to use with Soboro.
