How long does Orcish counterstance last?

How long does Orcish counterstance last?

Soloing Cobraclaw Buchzvotch on SAM/DNC it lasted just about two minutes, or at least through four uses of Third Eye on a 30 second timer. It may be different for normal mobs or other NMs, though. (On that note, 75 SAM/DNC can solo "Wrath of the Griffon" easily except for this JA, at which point your Soboro nearly kills you.)

Question: If you already have the storm/obi magic acc+ boost on SCH, will Klimaform raise magic accuracy at all? (Can this even be tested...?)

I'm currently trying to Level BLU and was wondering how well Cannonball does on various mobs if you stack Defense/STR but without the use of Sneak Attack. About what damage numbers would you be able to do in an ideal situation on VTs to ITs and is it consistent? Also, is the accuracy an issue with SA?

Sorry if this is somewhere else on the forum but I couldn't find anything specific on this.

If you don't have signet and you die in a conquest zone, does your nation lose influence in the zone?

[Elesar]

I searched and searched but couldn't find a thread about data that has been posted up dealing with the Dragoon's wyvern level up thingy that was added a few updates ago. I'm curious because I want to see if the new Beastmaster update in the next version update will make Beastmaster more lolUseful at endgame events.

This is just speculation since it's somewhat hard to confirm, but my guess would be no, since you aren't getting any of the benefits of Signet, you don't have any of the negative consequences of dying either.

We've had a BLU/WAR tank Dynamis several times before, they were consistently putting up 800-1000+ on namis mobs with Defender/Cocoon up, though I think they did have some accuracy issues without Sushi, you could look into Bream or Crab.

Q: for Beadeaux S doors, does only one person in the group need 1 single quadav charm?

correct, and it's reusable

[TacoTaru]

Has anyone figured out Doll Gizmo uses yet?

[Spekkio]

yeah. it makes a hummiMg noise. outside of NPCing it, no. i don't think so.

I have a question about soloing Golden-Tongued Culberry.

A.) Is /NIN really needed?

B.) How much easier does Movement speed make the fight? (< Hermes Sandals)

C.) Is his MDB so high that QD's dmg will be unimpressive?

D.) Anything else I need to worry about?

[Budonez]

Failwiki says you can get weapon skill points under the effects of level sync, is there any personal experience to back this up?

[Callisto]

When trying to solo pull Draketrader in La Vaule, how do you deal with the tigers in the way?

I wouldn't really say it's soloable, he gets spammy with Cure 4 to the point where you may not be able to do enough damage, and getting close enough to get QD off means you're close enough for him to get Death off before you get out of range.

[Antithesis]

Ive seen alot of testimonials about him Running out of MP / People soloing him so not sure.

I recall someone saying it worked here on BG when it came out. Can't pull the quote out though


My own question, I just did Omega, I still have the four chips....is that normal?

[Thunder]

To the above poster, yeah, it's normal. Like BCNM orbs.

What's the base DEX for a hume rng/war, nin, sam, and drg(rng/war, rng/nin, rng/sam, rng/drg)? Estimates are also appreciated.

Edit: I'm asking because the websites I found that calculate base stats are obscenely wrong; taru having 14 more int than hume, etc.

Powder boots/Flee, run to the water, everything should deaggro. I've only had one incident where an orc didn't deaggro and that's because I didn't run far enough.

[Pendulum]

Levelling drg and a few gear questions:

Are leaping boots worth it? I've no real problem buying them seeing as I know I can sell them on later (what replaces them?) but is there something roughly as good I've missed?

Are Volans Greaves (Jump: acc+4) worth getting/keeping (till when)?

Sam sub doesn't really take off till 70+ right?

Can I have a list of polearm progression? 23 and using Platoon Lance atm.

Thanks!
