Randomer Question Thread

Clarifications for Bahamut v2:

Shell beat O2 for the first time, onto b2 fight. Now, we know that it can be melee zerged, just want to clear up a couple things.

a) 1 RDM/DRK will do? Or do you need to overlap stuns with 2?
b) 2 Bards: can we get away without SV Madrigal? 3 bards for us atm might be tough (smaller shell). Definitely Feint + Angon.
c) Initial aggro; do you need something like a PLD or NIN to initially aggro and hold Bahamut before bum rushing it? (set up, get stunner ready, feint / angon on, etc).

Any other tips appreciated too

a) 2 RDM/DRK is nice, 1 is a risk. It isn't so much overlap (since overlapping doesn't really work imo), just to cover resists.
2) 2 bards should be fine
III) Gigantic chance of terror on tank, wouldn't recommend it.

Jailed meaning they just can't play for how long?

Edit: They finally left, and decided to shout taunts as they did so...

In my experience for it to qualify as griefing, the party has to say something that can only be interpretted as them camping on you just to slow you down(in their /p counts too). If they say things like 'We can camp where we want' or other shitty excuses like 'we thought it was a good idea of you to move here, so we did too' they'll usually get away with it entirely.

first warning: GM sends a tell asking you to stop
second warning: taken to jail, talk to GM then released, like a 20 min time out rly
3rd warning: 3 day suspension
4th warning: 7 day suspension
5th warning: 10 day suspension
6th: banstick

bigger infractions skip steps, pos or fleetool go 3 day suspension -> ban only 2 steps.. a few people like poof and feiwong seem to be able to get GMs to do more ;/ As of recently, I think the 7/10 day suspensions were revoked in favor of more bans but I'm not positive.

Is Quick Draw's damage affected by INT too, or is it just MAB?

[Pyree]

I have no experience with GMs, so a few questions:

1. Do I need to be online for a GM to take action against a player I report?
2. I am currently exping on a ~65 job...some trio with a lvl 75 came and started camping on top of us...after an hr or so of bullshit, we moved to a different camp...they followed us...we moved again, they followed us again...will a GM even do anything?

Other people answered already, but another thing related to griefing. If you are going to report someone for griefing by taking your exp camp repeatedly, then you also need to send them a tell asking them nicely to stop. Their response will basically decide if the GM can take action or not, but if you don't even ask then a GM most likely can't do anything.

Only MAB and staves effect quick draw damage, while only macc and AGI effect it's accuracy. My mule had 75 COR before it had marksmanship above 50, on the way up it seemed like it was impossible to land shots and I blamed my lack of skill, but once I hit 75 and picked up denali jacket and some other gear I had no problems landing them on even more resistant mobs. (For the people who are about to mock me, marksmanship is capped on it now! shush!)

Noob COR question that I should know but haven't paid attention to.

If you Evoker's Roll for 1, but miss a mage who's not in range... then double-up with that mage in range and roll a 4, for a 5 total. Does the second mage have a 4 Evoker's or a 5 Evoker's?

So, you start zerging before feint lands then (on aggro)?

I'm fairly certain it would be a 5.

We usually have the RDM/DRK opening with CS Stun to prevent any Roar or Terror, then the melees run in and rape Bahamut.

I sent a tell asking them to stop...then they put up the POL Away thing. Then I asked in say, and they didn't respond. They said nothing until they left like 1.5 hours after they had showed up, and they taunted/mocked us in shouts. Really hope they get something, I've never seen something so retarded.

Yeah, land Feint when you can but as soon as you aggro it's time to go to work.

[Tulun]

Good to know.
Do you just need the key item from the quest (Whisper) or do you need to go to Jeuno for the remainder of the CS before entering?

[Raineer]

I thought it was just the key item but we had someone on the last run say "oops forgot Jeuno CS" so yeah...do that too

[frodnonnag]

whats the maximum range you can do a ranged attack from, and are there any limits to height?

[Seraph]

From personal testing, it's a maximum of 25.0' on even terrain.

I do not know if there is a different height limitation. I was under the assumption, as long as you had line of sight to the mob, and were not more than 25.0' away from it in any direction, the RA should fire.

[Tsuko_Asura]

Fairly certain there is no vertical limit to actions in this game, as I've used Jump and High Jump from bridges atop Fort Ghelsba on to Orcs nearly out of targeting range.
