How much does Brass Borer's Cannonball do with Def+ dispelled?

[Tulun]

Blade: Kamu;

This WS *okay* with enough stats stacked? average dmg?

[urat]

Which would be considered better for dnc tp build?

25% haste gear + 10% haste samba + rdm hase = 50% haste

or:

Just stick to stacking my accuracy?

[stewie]

Max haste on DNC, try to get Enkidu Body/Feet.
Blade: Kamu with STR stacked can average higher than Jin iirc. Average is 600~700, not 100% sure though.

And my question, Enkidu Head or Shura Head for Blade: Jin? I was thinking Enkidu and DEX build.

Does any LS intentionally tank Cerb from the back? Benefits?

[Aragon of Odin]

I see no benefits, it gives him access to Scorching Lash which hurts more then his other TP moves.

I don't know if anyone does it, but a benefit is you can SATA your main tank.

Is there any way to get Windurst fame other than Cornettes?

bastore sardines work, but you have to zone out and in to trade each one.. cornettes are by far the easiest method

[stewie]

I saw the Bird Feather/2Leaf Mandy Bud was repeatable also, does that just not give enough fame to be viable?

[Thorny]

2leaf mandy buds are RA/EX, you have to walk outside and farm a mandy bud each time ...

[stewie]

Oh, I read it as or. ._. I guess I'll do the Sardines then~ thank you.

[arshesney]

You can also trade Crawler cocoons to the mithra near the dhalmels; or Beehive Chips and Silk Threads at the shop not so far. "Lip service" is the quest iirc.

Why do people buy Dandy Spectacles? I looked on FFXI ah and people on most servers always have one or two people buying all of them. Am I missing something?

GoH vs Lash is kind of a wash, just depends on your tanks preference, and variety.

What do they sell and NPC for >.> ?

[Max™]

10~30k from AH...

I seriously doubt they NPC for more.

GoH vs Lash is kind of a wash, just depends on your tanks preference, and variety.

Tanking from behing he'll still have access to both, which would be double the threat. I meant before GoH even, his TP moves he has access to before GoH aren't at all deadly.

Lava Spit is a joke, should never come close to killing anyone.
Sulfurous Breath should only ever be targeted at the tanks, and is absorbed by 1-2 shadows I think.
Ulanation - Nothing to worry about, just gotta throw a few paralyna's around.
Magma Hoplon - If your melee have Shell 4 on should do very minimal dmg, with Barfira should be doing 0 dmg to the melee.
Scorching Slash - Other then GoH this is his only other powerful move, the odd times our Sam's pull to much hate from SA WS's he does this it usually ends up with a dead BRD and a couple dead melee.

I see no purpose at all in wanting to tank from its behind, all it does is gives him access to a powerful move that can basically be totally avoided. Although not quite as powerful, it's the same general idea as putting a tank behind Fafhog and letting melee SATA him giving him access to Flail, I just don't see the point.

Wiki says they NPC for like 25 gil. Doesn't list a desynth, but that may be something to look at, since they can be synthed via Alchemy (and the ingredient is like 90k). I don't see anything insightful in the sales of the person that seems to buy them up on my server though.
