Dancer discussion

That is correct.

[Wizerd]

I figured it probably was static, but just in case, I wanted to make sure day/moon wasn't causing it to do more or less. Also didn't want the lack of trials to lead to a question of validity. I am really curious, however, how I managed to gain +12 HP healed to my curing waltz just by having a meat mithkabob wear.

O.o; not sure.

I'm gonna assume that Curing Waltz caps at 90ish, maybe a little higher like Cure II. 67-72ish is about what WHMs do at lv11 when they first get it, especially with no healing skill and not much MND gear on.

It may not be additional damage, but the mob has to be alive after the hit for the drain effect. If you kill a mob with drain daze on it, you get no drain effect.

Yeah, which is worse. lol

Anyway, for accuracy's sake, the Waltzes are on a 6 second recast, not 5 seconds.

[Pergo]

has anyone found how much drain samba 2 does?

[Koyangi]

can give as much as 10 hp per proc, avg between 5-10

[Pergo]

thats not as much as i would've expected... but idk

There is also Drain Samba III.
I have a feeling in Meripo PT DNC will kick ass.

Looking at Dancer and Scholar, it looks like SE is doing the same pre-nerfing dance they did with BLU.

[Wizerd]

Keep in mind that 5-10 per proc is most likely with Daggers. Since the higher the hit, the higher the drain usually, take a lv50 2-hander hitting a VT/low IT mob for 120 (seems about right if they fix the 2H thing), and you can have some pretty nice drains keeping your party alive.

[Koyangi]

Drain Samba 2 seems to last half as long as 1 and costs 25 TP to use, also procs 4-10, so I'd say the avg is 7.


Yeah I'm using Dagger, imo best thing up until my Joyeuse and Sword Merits. pulling hate and having parrying kick in semi often has been very nice, btw I'm still in the same dnc dnc cor brd rdm rng pt lol.

Half as long as in it wears off right as the recast it up? (ie: 1 minute), or half as long as in the Daze effect only lasts 5 seconds, instead of 10?

[Koyangi]

The effect as it lasts on me(we actually get a symbol signifying we have used a Samba). Even if it wears from mob, as long as I have the icon, i'm basically enchanting the mob right away again, this of course means I'm engaged and meleeing said monster.

I figured how I worded my post would give away that I'm actually leveling it too, but I guess not. I'm aware of how Sambas work, it just sounded weird that the icon (as it is on you) would be the one to last half as long, meaning it cast to be recast every 1 minute. Kinda gay if you ask me. I hope Drain Samba III doesn't reduce this even further, especially since Samba recast is 1 minute as well.

[Koyangi]

afaik 1 = 2 min, 2 = 1 min, I'll specifically time it next party.

[XxSlusherxx]

Does Drain Samba work with Ranged attacks?

[Koga]

Does Drain Samba work with Ranged attacks?

No... at least I didn't see it proccing last night on ranged attacks.

[miokomioko]

It's still pretty bullshit that Drain Samba isnt... really... draining. If that were additional damage to everyone's strikes, it'd be pretty epic.

[epigram]

Just fight lots of flies :/

[Not Kuno]

Edited first post to list all dances/job traits for easy reference.

[Damane]

eager to find out how drain samba III is. I still have high hopes for a DNC COR BRD +3 additional melee meripo setup that will work without a mage and in that everyone has fun (ecxept the brd who is pulling )

[Kurokikaze]

Why couldn't Drain Sambas actually drain....? ;____; Was playing around with DRG/DNC on EP-DC colibris/gnoles and drains from Drain Samba II were doing up to 37HP/Swing average was about 20ish. I suppose if it did actually drain from the mob then it would have to be weakened or adjusted as SE likes to call it. :/
