Who should I try to drag out to work off a Club of Trials latent? I can go as MNK or SMN, I don't have WHM leveled so I don't think I could do a L3 SC?

without hexastrike you can't make lvl 3 SCs with a club (and you obviously dont have black halo), but I'm fairly certain you could make level 2s with your avatar (i think punch > true strike is fusion). MNK seems better in terms of survivability but as SMN you wouldn't have to bring anyone else with you. Other than that pretty much any job can make lvl 2s with club.

Do Threnody and Ninjutsu resistance down effects stack?

Holy shit.

This is actually a really damn good question. Someone go test this, right now, I can't find it on the wikis.

Threnody stacks with Ninjutsu resistance down, but not with other threnodies. No idea if multiple Ninjutsu resistance reductions can be on at the same time. Observed this both in Ballista and while training the Yagudo in Giddeus, so I guess it could be different for mobs, but at least that's how it works on players.

SO GUYS IF WE CAST QUAKE, WIND THRENODY, AND DOTON:SAN ON KIRIN WE CAN SILENCE IT ON RDM INSTEAD OF BRD?!

because everyone knows brd has a better chance of landing silence on kirin 'cause my best friend's uncle's cousin's first woman's current boyfriend said his brd landed silence on kirin 3 times in a row, right?

/brace for small shit storm

Does Trick Attack transfer hate across alliance? We have 2 thiefs swearing up and down they have to be in the same party.

Edit: Both wikis say something along the lines of:

Trick Attack adds some Enmity to the party member you are behind.


Emphases mine. Is this just the descriptor?

It most definitely works across alliance, not sure how you could be a thf75 at endgame and not realize that.

They cap at around 153 skill or so.

Anyone know how about much hp ungur has?

I can't say precicely, I don't remember how much my nukes were doing to him while solo. I estimated ~600 each, each did 4-5% of his HP, so somewhere between 10-15k HP?

TA won't work on someone outside of your alliance if you happen to be fighting the same mob via CFH, like Kirin's summons.

Salvage & Nyzul

A little late to the discussion, but going to add my 2 cents anyway.

My group currently does 4 Salvage and 3 Nyzul a week. 4x RvB on Thursday nights before Salvage, 3x Nyzul on Sunday night. Eventually (esp if you trio) you build up a backlog of points so you can occasionally either skip an RvB for Nyzul (or rankups if you're not all Captain) or do an extra Salvage run, depending on what your group does more of.

3 random questions:

1. Does stunning while using an earth staff have any lower resist to the spell or anything negative effect for wearing an earth staff?
2. How does evasion gear work? Let say you have capped evasion and you wear evasion gear, not evasion gear skill.
3. How does subtle blow work? For example, instead of giving the mob 10 tp per hit, it will only give like 8 tp?

*bump~*

1. Probably since Earth beats thunder. And from personal experience a thunder staff greatly helps stun land.

2. http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Evasion

Evasion is directly affected by a character's evasion skill and AGI. For every two points of AGI a character has, their evasion is raised by one point. See Check for details on how to interpret high evasion and low evasion check messages.

1 Evasion in gear= 2 AGI. There's complications to evasion skill though, I don't know the specifics personally

3. http://wiki.bluegartr.com/Subtle_Blow

Subtle Blow's effect on TP gain by the enemy is calculated as such:

* For melee hits: (Base TP + 3) * (1 - SubtleBlow%)
* For spells: 10 * (1 - SubtleBlow%)

These did not take long to find. Use the databases you have available.

There's complications, and I don't think there's even any definitive proof that shows how it actually is done.
