Randomer Question Thread

[stewie]

Jailer of Fortitude, Genbu, maybe Gration and Ix'Mnk are all I can think of atm.

[Spekkio]

what's an approximate drop rate on the blitz ring from tails of woe? i assume utsu is on par with UO.

[Obev]

Would this work?

MNK/WAR, 75

Destroyers/ /Tiphia
Walahra/Ancient/Brutal/Minuet
Shura/Hachiryu/Sniper's/Sniper's
Cuchulain's/Black/Byakko's/Usukane

I think that's enough acc to eat meat anywhere, (+59 including all the DEX) and enough DEX to break a few Colibri crit tiers (Gets me to 110 which according to that Searain guy would put me at 23% crits in Nyzul), while retaining haste (19%!). I've seen a lot of DEX builds for Warrior, but never seen it used on Monk. As I'm contemplating returning to the game, I'm wondering if this is worth striving for or if I should keep leveling my Monk as a generic O.Kote sporting Elvaan clone.

[Marcicus]

Curious as to what kind of merit build some other Corsairs have. I'm thinking of building something like this:

Quick Draw Recast: 5/5
Random Deal Recast: 5/5

Snake Eye: 5/5
Fold: 1/5
Loaded Deck: 4/5

I'd be tempted to drop Random Deal Recast for Quick Draw Accuracy, but I thought it wouldn't make too much sense seeing as how you can make up accuracy with +agi. Snake Eye an is an obvious 5/5 for me because I've gotten 10s and one number off from lucky one too many times. I don't bust often, so 1/5 Fold makes sense. The rest I put into loaded deck because Winning Streaks seems pointless, as I don't need the extra duration on rolls.

Thoughts?

[Silenka]

This is probably a stupid question. I have a mnk, I don't use it for much because I don't have shura or osode etc. I got an enkidu's harness recently though, so the question is, is it worth TPing in paluwhan body for the extra crit hit rate or should i just stick with enkidu all the way?

[stewie]

I believe that Pahluwan was found to give negative crit hit rate? Either way, I'd stick with Enkidu.

[Tulun]

Quick question:

To achieve a true 6-hit build on 504 delay (sub sam), how much +store tp gear do you need?

[Karinastar]

Assuming full H2H merits that should be fine at Colibri (83-85% acc without focus, near cap when it's on), and at Mamools you can just pop a Marinara Pizza +1, shouldn't ever need sushi in exp with that build.

@Tulun: You need +7 STP and /SAM for a 6hit build with a 504 delay weapon.

What? Negative crit? I'm confused. How could it do that >.>

[stewie]

There was testing a while back that showed it gave no enhancement, but I believe they saw less critical hits. Don't remember entirely.

[Hyriu]

Quick question:

To achieve a true 6-hit build on 504 delay (sub sam), how much +store tp gear do you need?

WAR/SAM(15) Rajas(5) + Brutal(1) + Ecphoria OR Chiv.Chain(1) = 6 Hit build with a 504 delay G.axe

[Silenka]

What if you don't have a rajas? I imagine it would be a lot harder to achieve a 6 hit without one. I can't think of a lot of store tp gear that wouldn't completely hurt you for the slots you can put it in (for ...drk? does drk get 6hit /sam?)

Ask me any mage question and I can answer, but I'm a total melee noob XD

[Hyriu]

I dunno about DRK but I assume you only need /SAM and Rajas+Brutal with a 528 Scythe. If I didn't have Rajas AND E.body on my WAR I'd shoot for Aurum Cuirass.

[Tulun]

I was asking for Perdu scythe on drk, actually. So, I'd need to pick up Lady bug ring if I wanted it. K, thanks.

[Karinastar]

A lot of people will just count on multiple hits of their multi-hit WS to connect to give them a pseudo 6-hit build. I do that on WAR/SAM usually, and it works fine and allows me to use Toreador's Ring instead of Ecphoria. Assuming you're using Rajas/Brutal should only need to land 2 hits of Guillotine to maintain a 6-hit. If you're using another WS you'll need to toss on Ecphoria or Chiv Chain.

[Hyriu]

Yeah, I just use my Fort Torque and Sniper+1 and count on my WSacc.

What's the Jeuno AH's posting fee? 1%?

I can only tell you what I have and why although I'm sure not every COR will agree with it.

QD recast 5/5
Phantom Roll Recast 5/5

PR recast is so that if I bust, or look like busting, I can get the roll back up within 5 seconds. I also roll pretty aggressively for that reason.

QD recast is purely because I don't see many resists on QD to warrant needing extra ACC. Off the top of my head I think I have about +40-45 on Quick Draw and 8 Magic Accuracy plus HQ stave.

For group 2 I went with:

5/5 Snake Eye
1/5 Loaded Deck
4/5 Fold

Don't really know why. It's just what I felt comfortable with. I roll really aggressively but the 4/5 Fold is still probably overkill as it's always up on recast when I need it.

Is there any kind of plugin or something similar that can block /ra commands with a specific ammo in slot unless unlimited shot is active (or just prevent regular ra but not ws)? Say that you have PPA equipped for sidewinder, but like me, you're a massive scatterbrain. Any kind of security available?
(I remember reading about a way to block cfh a while back, anything similar to that maybe?)

I know there was a program for this some time ago, was made by Icerod of pandemonium if i remember right. No clue where to find it or if it still works.
If you're confident using spellcast rules you could probably work something out to do this for you with it.
