JA's try to activate instantly, so /ja, /ja won't work.

I do 5 equip swaps > WS, and 5 equip swaps > voke in my multi-set macros.

I would definitely notice if the 5 voke swaps didn't go off, and I'd be able to tell with the WS ones too, since I save my visible swaps for the actual activation of the JA/WS.

Probably been answered...

If for my WS macro I have:

/console exec WAR_KJWS.txt
/ws "King's Justice" <t>

Will the gear swap always be factored in before the WS actually goes off or is it dependent on lag conditions? or does it not work at all? I have always had a separate WS gear macro and then a macro to do the WS itself.

why don't you just put 'input /ws "king's justice" <t>;' at the end of the WAR_KJWS.txt file itself?

Question: How have people found the drop-rate to be for Barbarossa's Zerehs in the 'Targeting the Captain' Ashu Talif BC?

For my group it was about 3/87, so nearly once a month if you go daily.

Why don't you keep making good suggestions? I'll give it a go, sounds good.

RSE depending on race, and AF for solo, maybe herder subilgar if it's a large bonus to wyvern acc, and could use tiger/feral at 62 if that tired of subilgar, and lastly fourth legs at 68 +4 str aren't bad.

Herder's Subligar is supposedly 10 pet accuracy, but I haven't seen any tests, and don't even remember where I saw that. I figure that even a few pet accuracy is probably going to help more than 5 attack. Plus my inventory is so fucked thanks to BLM + COR + BRD + gear obsessiveness, and I'm not going to /toss Herder's, so using it instead of republigar is Total Inventory +1 while on DRG, which is important. Also, it's the bone/beetle subligar model, so it's somewhat more modest/non-stupid-looking tights.

I guess I should really stop being lazy and parse them on BST to make sure.

Going to try out m.kris zerg tonight on DL and I have a few questions. This will be my first zerg so I might have the steps before engaging a bit off. Anyway, this is how I'm thinking it will go, correct me if I'm wrong:

1: Songs applied.
2: Pop food. (Carbonara+1 is what I had planned on using)
3: Drain 2 w/ Dark staff equipped, swap to kris/shield.
5: Engage, Feint applied.
6: Souleater -> Blood Weapon rapetiem.

Is there anything I'm missing? Should I use dark magic gear for the drain 2 then switch to my HP gear and let a mage top me off? Would it be worth it to get Dark Seal prior to the run? I'm not sure how often I will be zerging stuff so I'm not sure it's worth it at the time considering I need to merit so many other things.

Heres the build I plan on using: (Borrowing a Gigant mantle and m.kris from a friend)

Edit: Anyone able to give me an estimate on how much damage this will put out? Assuming near 2k HP after food/Drain 2, soul voiced march/mad, and feint.

What's a decent Ice resist+ # from gear to shoot for when tanking Jorm to see consistent resists? And could anyone give suggestions for a set(not counting Assault Breastplate)?

from what my favorite pld told me, even a near-perfect setup goes to shit in ice/double ice weather(he has assault breastplate too) and a MDMG- setup is better for jorm.. haven't tested myself though

Well that would save some effort if it does.

Another question that's been bugging me for years:

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS THING?

A voodoo doll from outer space?

[Siralin]

Haven't done the windy storyline, eh?

[Callisto]

Too lazy to give up my OPs for a week, lol. If it's from that then cool, I just had never seen it in any other things but these prime avatar reward scenes.

I'd say windy has the best storyline to be honest. If you're into that, it's worth losing them for a week.

[Spekkio]

i thought that doll was more entrenched in the smn storyline.

Probably, but I think I remember it in Windy too. Could be wrong...

I usually pop food right before buffs start (songs/haste,etc) and have a mage top me off before we start.

I also don't bother to switch into dark magic gear for the drain II. I just pop dark seal, swap in pluto's and call it good. There was some testing a while back about dark seal not being as effective as say elemental seal is for blm's, but I still feel it's a more than worthwhile to unlock it. I really only ever use it for zergs anyway, it's nice to have and it's easy to just get it unlocked, not like you have to take it up to lvl 5 or something.

Biggest issue is getting the drain II off asap, and getting engaged quickly.

[Siralin]

Well I think I'm going to invest in Dark seal cause my drain 2 resisted with pluto's staff. I don't think my WHM was expecting me to take so much damage so I wasn't at full the whole time, but I'd say I didn't do too bad.

Oh and he dropped ring, mantle, and an m.piece. ^___^

[Indalecia]

DS + Drain2 easily nets another 300-500 hp depending at start. Its beautiful.

[Kroot]

swap pcc out for hp next time
