Whats better?

[Max™]

I never capped 1h Axe, Rampage was always a fickle whore, and she's twice as slutty with Raging Rush around.

The ONLY reason to ever have 1h Axe was for SC options, which KJ more than makes up for.

I've never heard someone say "damn dude, if only you had capped 1hed Axe, we could use Mistral/Deci for a Light SC!"

Capped 1h Sword to 250 on War for Pld.

Bhoot/Psycheflayer in Arrapago, depending on other jobs you bring. Nice to have ~2 melee that can stun.

FM...

Did pchan really say that?

True, though I think Engetsuto/Leg Sweep might be a better option for WAR/SAM stun WS.

Yes. In the SSR thread in Event Strategies. It was part of his logic as to why with mnk/mnk/sam as your 3 melee, the 2 mnks should get the first 2 weapon cells, instead of sam+mnk.

True, though I think Engetsuto/Leg Sweep might be a better option for WAR/SAM stun WS.

Well, leg sweep is the god of stun WSes, as it isn't "chance to stun" that varies with TP, so yea, I guess if you have Pole leveled and want to use that, then screw axe! But my group definitely had a war bring an axe just to be able to stun there before. :/

[Shinryuu]

Fffffffff at Pchan. Seriously. Also:
Leg Sweep: Stuns target. Chance of stunning varies with TP. Am I missing something?

Hmm, was it always that way? I guess otherwiki can't even copy text off the game properly if it was always like that. My bad! (just looked ingame, and you're right!)

Leg Sweep - FFXIclopedia - a Wikia Gaming wiki
Polearm weapon skill

* Skill level: 100
* Stuns enemy. Duration of effect varies with TP.

[Shinryuu]

Yeah coincidentally I was on a polearm job (SAM46! My GKT's not going to be capped at 75 at this rate) and just checked the in-game description. Wiki sure has a lot of errors :3

[Max™]

I was War only for a long time, never did Salvage. No gil to spend on 0/200 drop rate events for items which are at best an extremely ridiculously situational WS/Jump macro piece.

I woulda just used Polearm though, mighty strikes Penta for laughs, and Leg Sweep for stun.

[Shinryuu]

Salvage doesn't cost any gil, though.

[Killkenny]

Since they added purses I've probably made upwards of 4M (thats not going even close to every day, we've taken long breaks), I'm pretty sure my expenses don't even break 300k in that time so yeah....

[Callisto]

Think he was referring to things like ingot costs for head/body.

[Max™]

Think he was referring to things like ingot costs for head/body.

Exactly.

For a steel cyclone piece when I usually KJ, bad ass WS legs which never drop(ped, the update fixed that I guess?), and uh... some acc/att pieces where I could put big chunks of haste... or haste and acc/att.

So yeah, never cared much, I care more now with Pld, but I have other things to work on first, Homam mainly.

[Shinryuu]

Then your wording was bad

And yeah Ares' body is highly situational for DRK, DRG and WAR. I'd even argue that post-Atonement this statement goes for PLD as well. Ares' head is awesome if you don't have Heca cap and in low-hitrate situations (you can buy Heca cap w/ the Orich gil, Heca's better all-around). Ares' legs are awesome for PLD, DRK and DRG, but WAR has Haidate and Raging Rush, and otherHaidate and Steel Cyclone/KJ (meh, KJ).

Alright, I'm planning on buying a Ixion Cape for my BLM to kick up my nukes just a itsy bit, I'm currently using a Prism Cape.

Now my problem is that, IF I do get the Ixion Cape I'm most likely going to sell the Prism Cape which would leave my RDM out on a decent back piece. Now my question is, I'm gonna try getting Altruistic Cape and Merciful Cape for my RDM. Now would those two pieces replace a Prism Cape in functionality?

[Drex]

For para/slow, not really. It's only 4 mnd I guess, but it's 4 mnd you're trading for enfeeb skill that you should never need.

For anything else, not missing out on anything.

[Thorny]

Aside from how grossly you seem to be underestimating the difficulty in getting those 2 capes, what Drex said is correct. Very few situations require merciful for nuking or altruistic for slow/para on RDM, though they're still very good capes to have(merciful for dark/enhancing/nuking hard things solo, altruistic for bind/grav/sleep/silence).

[Greenjade]

Eh I have time to kill. I don't plan on selling the Prism cape anytime soon and I plan on trying to solo/duo/trio farming the capes. o.o;

[bsphil]

Brave Grip: Increase Crit dmg (supposedly 10%)

What the fuck. Who changed wiki after I had already shown it was 3.5%?

Do Ein and get Aslan Cape for Rdm and if you happened to have found a good group get Gleeman's also and realise what a massive waste of gil that Ixion cape would've been. Then get the sea capes anyway.
