Except that you can't hit the haste cap with a 1-hand weapon.

[Tan]

Technically you can if you Hundred Fist with a one handed weapon on MNK. But it is impossible for a one hander DRK to hit the haste cap. Hasso or Desperate Blows and a 2 hander weapon are required to pull that off.

That was an oversight on my part. But you could still do ~25% w/ HQ gear and the 43.75% magical cap for a grand total of 69.75%, which is close but not quite the ~80% cap.

Couldn't you get 70.75% with 26% Haste in gear, 43.75% magical, and then using Catastrophe with Apoc and switching back to a one-hander?

Catastrophe is equipment haste, it doesn't stack. You could remove 10% haste from your equipment though, and add HP.

26 + 43.75 = 69.75, and Haste caps at 25%, not 26%. The last time I reminded you of this I think you told me to "shut the fuck up". I believe magic haste actually caps at 43.33 So you're really looking at 68.33% as the max haste with a one handed weapon.

[Tan]

Yeah but you need like 26.x% or something in gear haste to actually hit the cap because of the /512 business or what not. I'm not exactly sure maybe someone can clear that up?

My bad about the 70.75 business, I didn't bother to recalculate and I just added a 1% onto Tan's 69%. As for the gear Haste cap,

That's because real haste values are actually lower than the displayed amount most of the time, I think Homam legs are the only exception, it still caps at 256/1024 = 25%, as long as you realize that it doesn't really matter, but whatever.

[Amele]

it's over 1024 and you should really look up each piece since kirschy has been so nice as to test like; everything.

it's not just homam legs; black belt 'breaks the rule' too, as does blitz ring, and a few other pieces.

Is there a way to turn off effects like others singing songs or casting spells? I thought "Effects" under the Config menu did this, but I turned them all off and I still see other people singing/animations etc,

[Rammses]

Is it still possible to d/c from a campaign evaluation in order to prevent them from yoinking your medal, if they have deemed you unworthy?

Turn off everything bar the top option in config.

[Tormentormike]

Doesn't work.

Sure, you could...but you could also just say you want to continue the evaluation (possibly won't work if your medal has expired already).

How much INT/MND is it needed to compare to the accuracy and potency of elemental staves?

o_O;;;;;;;;;;

[Kirbyprime]

Assuming that isn't a joke question, no idea, but far more than possible from anything in the weapon slot+grip slot.

[Faithe]

No Joke. Just wondering.

[Amele]

No Joke. Just wondering.

it probably varies since it appears that the stave bonus is similar to a day bonus and isn't actually an integral part of the core equation, but instead a 'bonus' term that multiplies and floors the whole of the original equation.

[Judai]

It really depends on alot of factors. Like monster Level, monster MND/INT, how much MND/INT you have on you already, etc. If you wanted to think about it in terms of RDM nukes, it would take about 30 INT I think to match the potency on a T3 nuke from a HQ stave(possibly more).
