BLM Question in Dynamis:

Can / Have you ever 1 shotted a statue? I'm guessing Orc and Quadav ones are easiest to damage but have you ever done it? If so what conditions?

The Quad and Orcs I can one-shot all the time, using sorc ring, and Freeze II, usually. I'm not a super pimp blm, those things are just really weak.

Also, the ones in Xarc...it's near impossible NOT to one shot them.
Finally, fuck Yagudo statues. Those things hax.

Can you give me a possible HP count on those statues you 1 shot?

Thanks

Uhm, I'll try to remember to SS this sunday, when we do Dynamis. :<
No promises though, my memory is horrid.

[Spekkio]

i think i ROUGHLY estimated about 1k HP on the statues in sandy when i was dinking around w/ the solo statues that live by the NMs. burst2 w/o sorc ring or weather or anything like that resulted in like 2% HP. if i had full morg and whatnot at the time, i've no doubt i could turn it into swiss cheese solo w/o a problem. now those yag statues... bloody hell do i hate them. Y HALLO THERE! I SLEEPGAZ U NOWZ! damnable little bastards those manifest icons are...

What's a good DRG ws set at 75 without Heca/Ares's?

What's a good DRG ws set at 75 without Heca/Ares's?

Would have to say something along the lines of:

Askar/Gorget/something/Brutal
Aurum or Assault Jerkin/Drachen+1/something/Rajas
Forager's/Warwolf/Aurum or Drachen+1/Aurum

2nd DD earrings vary widely, and for the Ring either Flame or if you aren't comfortable with your acc some form of Acc ring.

edit: wrong thread.

[Drex]

Pretty sure all Dyna statues have exactly 1000 HP. The problem is the yags have crazy MDB and cast statusga/aga3 nukes. Orcs and quadavs are certainly one-shottable with top-of-the-line-but-not-yet-perfect gear, especially with obi/af2 pants on day of the week AM2.

[Goren]

Ok i got into an arguement today with some party members today about PLD gear, they said to use VIT and DEF gear, and i said that DD gear is better.
So...
What's better? VIT&DEF gear or DD gear? So i dont go on leveling PLD w/ gimp gear

[Ferien]

XPing or Meriting, and what level, mob, and how high are the mobs?

err...nevermind you're 44. If I remember correctly, there's really not much difference between defensive and DD gear at that level, with the exception of rings and neck. I would definitely use Woodsmans and PCC, but as for visible gear, be smart about it and don't go using level 25 gear simply because it's a good DD piece.

You can still turtle effectively at that level though, since you're not fighting the real squishy mobs yet. Things start to really change through the 50s, where you not only start fighting ToAU mobs, but you start getting AF, real DD gear, and Vorpal Blade. Until then, you only really have accessories to worry about.

I want to reformat but lost most of my XI discs. Looking for a simple step by step guide on everything I need to transfer to my external HDD. Pictures would be greatttttt.

Anyone know what is the required level for the Norg Scroll quests (Utsusemi, Tonko, Jubaku, etc.)? Can't find it anywhere.

Well, as I have "already Maxed all over the place" when Isladar was gonna post, I think I just got Bageled.

I was just going to be a smart ass though, and ask "What are you going to be WSing in Whitegate?"

Whats a good macro so I don't lose a PPA during no Unlimited Shot?

[Eraphiel]

I have it to equip in my unlimited shot macro only, and when I go from WS gear -> TP gear, I also have a line to equip (or re-equip) my normal arrows. Also works when I run out, just hit quiver macro, tp macro, full reload.

[Max™]

/equip ammo "Normal arrows"
/recast "Unlimited Shot"
/ja "Unlimited Shot" <stpt>
/equip ammo "PPA"
/echo PPA LOADED
/macro set #

Have the # be a free macro set natch, and have your WS gear in that set.

Include these lines in a macro which you always hit before you WS

/recast "Unlimited Shot"
/echo WAS THAT 0:00? PPA EQUIPPED!

You'd have to willfully hit your Unlimited Shot macro once, see the recast pop up, select yourself again, KNOWING the recast wasn't up, swap to your WS gear with reminders that the recast wasn't up, and then fire your PPA anyways.

The Tp button on that set would be like this

/equip ammo
/equip ammo "Normal arrows"
/macro set #

With # being your normal Tp set, so if you were out of arrows, you would still unequip the PPA before putting on your TP gear.
