[Sagacious Sundi]

What the hell is with Sagacious Sundi's sig? I don't get it and I feel that I should.

It's being bored and tired at 10:30 and being tired of having no sig. I'm just using it as a placeholder for now.

often when I level up on thf and fight the same mobs, I tend to notice my SATA damage tends to go down.

my sneak attack at lv55 could hit 309 fairly often vs lesser colibri, now at lv58 they don't hit 300 as much and tend to hover around 250, the average for 55 was around 275.

It's been noticeable to me for awhile, and I can't understand it, as my stats and attack get higher, food and brd support stays the same.

idk maybe someone has some insight on this, or maybe it's just odd luck, idk

Mobs have different levels?

[Tajin]

Yes, for example as a level 73 BLM soloing King Apkallu* some of them check as IT and some of them check as VT, also they give different experience points when killed. Also the IT ones resist the nukes/enfeebles (obviously) more.

Does Cure V cap? Because I can't seem to cure past 840.

291 healing magic, 78+50 MND, +20% cure effects (nobles and mace)

According to Wiki I should be hitting 862.8. And yeah.

I don't think there's a soft cap for cure v's like there is for cure i-iv. As for the formula, sorry can't help ya with that.

Ohhhh spell lock, that sounds like something awesome to try.

Has anyone done it before?

I spell lock JoFort for fun sometimes on RDM. I don't low man it, but I definitely see how it would be ridiculously easy low manned with the right people.

All I know is that the quote in his sig is awesome.

I'm reasonably certain that the cure formula on the wiki page is incorrect, (beyond people tossing around a 'vit' term, I think it's just flat out wrong in the multipliers) but I haven't gotten around to testing it thoroughly.

basically: add healing magic skill and mind where you can get it (most of the good pieces do both) but it's not like curing much over 800 is going to be critical anyway.

someone did some rather exhaustive testing a while ago. while it's not perfect (never is) the thread indicated it wasn't that far off iirc.

Recently, the horrible news that Katana WS don't get an additional offhand hit was brought upon me. Is this true?

lol, I know this. My "question" was in response to the last question on page 23, about differences in SA damage.

has anyone ever done any conclusive tests of diabolos's pole vs pluto's staff in dynamis? my experience says to stick with pluto, but i'm curious if someone's got some hard evidence one way or the other.

[Suiram]

In an old thread in Advanced someone posted screenshots of Aspir in Dynamis using Diabolos Pole which would be mathematically impossible with Pluto's. However, I don't think it was ever determined how the bonus from pole factored in to achieve that higher value, nor which weapon would provide higher drains/aspirs on average.

was partied at the leypoint fighting lesser colibri they range only 2 levels, and my average SAs I guage off both levels not just one, obviously my SAs do more on the lower level colibri, but after leveling up my average vs both levels of colibri went down.

If you were to compare him to another NM in terms of challenge, numbers needed, etc... what "tier" would he be?

Is it true he is weakened by other NMs being dead? Is he also effected by mirrors?

[Rocl]

Tons of equipabble items allow the consumption of raw fish, but are they any that allow you to eat raw meat?

[Carnusty]

Nope :\
