Do some Scorpion mobs natively have MP like Crabs? (Not counting the ones in Dynamis areas)

I was helping a friend out with BLM AF3, so we killed the Girtab in the room before popping it, and MP drain from Hofud proc'd like 3-4 times, some back to back, for 7-10mp. I read otherwiki discussion which said that it can proc on mobs without MP pools, but proc's for 0. Do Scorps actually have MP or is Hofud broken?

Divine seems rather useless, Flash interrupts almost have to be timed by you on purpose, but does it do anything for Reprisal? Are there tiers for that?

Reprisal is Enhancing magic. I'm not sure if +enhancing increases the damage reflection of reprisal.

Doing the Enh to 8 actually, since it should help Stoneskin (and uh... protect maybe? I dunno) and whatnot.

I'm not saying you shouldn't merit enhancing, just keep in mind that every point of enhancing will only increase stoneskin absorption by 1 if your enhancing skill is anywhere close to capped on 75 pld (whereas every point of MND will increase it by 3). As has been said already, the spell interruption rate reduction from this probably won't be noticeable even if you stacked all the enhancing you possibly could on pld, unless you were fighting EP-DC mobs. That being said, I still think that capped enhancing is by FAR your best bet for magic skill when the contenders are healing and divine, which do very very little.

Quick, someone go test divine skill vs. flash duration... I would expect divine skill to affect flash duration. (We know flash's duration varies. What else would effect the duration other than mob level and magic resists?) So if you're really hardcore about those magic merits i'd say go for divine after enhancing... The healing skill really does nothing useful for a pld.

Duelist when you start casting, goliard when you finish?

Fast cast has an innate recast reduction property (-10% casting time, -5% recast time on tabard). Spellcasting duration is determined at the beginning of the cast (of course), while recast is determined at the end of the cast. Just keep duelist's on the whole time casting. For another slot where haste is the only option, just make sure haste is on at the end of the cast. You could time an utsusemi ichi cast, for example, such that you have parrying/evasion gear on for the beginning of the cast (to avoid getting interrupted) and swap in haste at the end of the cast for your recast timers.

Most scorps have no MP, but girtabs do. (Just try and aspir them.)

Can relic triple proc on Jumps? En-spells Souleater Weapon-specific-multihit among other added/extra effects proc during jumps, so it sounds to me like they should. Anyone know for sure though? Maybe a Gungnir DRG would know?

IIRC yes.

You can also do it in FFXIconfig if you don't want to risk a corruption.

[Wolfknight]

IIRC yes.

no, atleast thats the general understand of ones that post on KI drg, or else would have seen a 1k jump on birds by relic drg, since 500 jump is somewhat common w/o relic.

[Clave]

All I know is I have never gotten it as SAM/DRG with Amano, but I don't use the sub often at all. Still I'd be leaning towards no or I think I would have seen plenty of shots at least from Gungnir DRGs with 1k+ Jumps. Just wanted confirmation.

I thought Taint has an SS of him doing a ~1200 dmg Jump on DL with Apocalypse as /DRG?

Anyone unable to make their FFXI payment if they weren't autobilled/got their car declined?

My debit got denied when SOMEONE spent the FFXI money on gas and didn't put it back in! Getting "server is congested or your information is wrong" or an Error UCS-5111 "You cannot use this card as your payment method" when I try I pay. I want to know if their servers are fucked up or what. I haven't been able to play since the morning of the 2nd.

Spent the last hour with a web chat client waiting for an Agent and 15 mins on the phone waiting prior to that without getting to contact anyone.

Does Fealty affect Citadel Buster damage?

[Malinn]

Okay, 28 Mithra PLD, ammo/ranged slot after Lucky Egg, what do I upgrade to, GO.

I think Bibiki Seashell > Rosenbogen/+1 > Lamian Kaman/+1. And I'm assuming you meant Happy Egg, the HP+1% VIT+1 ammo, which isn't really all that bad. By the time you hit 60, that'll give you 10-13 hp which doesn't seem too bad, given the alternatives.

Wouldn't it be awesome if Galkas could equip Tarus in the weapon and shield slot?
