The first place city Chocobo Stables vendor doesn't have Black Chocobo Feathers like they're supposed to, anyone know why that'd happen?

[Thorny]

Onino has 1 more eva, I myself don't in particularly care about kill speed when I'm soloing.

See where I said without? If you're going for full safety, evasion has increasing returns:

Going from 50% dodge rate to 60% dodge rate is reducing your hits taken by 20%(50 to 40 in 100 swings). Going from 70% dodge rate to 80% is reducing your hits taken by 33%(30 to 20 in 100 swings).

If you value the stun proc of mamushito over 3 evasion, you should always value it over 4. Mamushito+1x2 or Shiranui/Oninohocho if you're going fully defensive, a combination will never be the best.

What drg merits do people go for? I'd assume jump and high jump from group 1 but none of group 2 is really jumping out.

Angon only seems to need 2 merits as stuff you use angon on generally goes down quickly. Empathy doesn't look too great. Strafe looks ok but i can't say I've ever really needed a breath to be unresisted. Deep breathing seems decent; how have others done it?

Max Angon assuming you go to drg for any of following gods, Salvage Mega, Jailers, HNMs, Limbus Bosses, Einherjar, Odin, or etc, any of these warrant 5 merits in it easily, you got down whats good for tier I, and for rest of tier II is more of personally thing, though I'd put one in DP at minimal it comes in very hand solo at times, personally I put rest in empathy since being able to transfer haste/songs to wyvern for more dmg in merits is fun but I can reasoning behind doing something else.

Has anyone seen Salv Boss Chariot drop Pouch since the update?

[Hiroshima]

I did a couple of quick searches but to be honest I'm not really sure what to use as search criteria. I'm looking for a way to call out game time in a macro. I'm responsible for calling out timed nukes in Dynamis and such. I'm looking for a way to to tell the party to nuke say 5 game minutes after i press the macro. Something like...

/p AM2 <t> "clock +0:05"

I know that looks horrible. But something of that nature would help out a lot I think. Has anybody ever seen any windower macros like that? It's likely just a pipe dream.

So assuming 75 BLM and 75 BST how does the following sound?

Suppanomimi
Tamas
Ethereal or Magnetic

[Silenka]

I don't know much about drk weapons post 70, is bahamut's zaghnal good for anything besides zerg?

[Rikura]

Scythe skill-up weapon after some nice astral burn parties.

And decent SE+BW zerg weapon.

[Valyana]

Also fun for /DNC.

[Wolfknight]

Has anyone seen Salv Boss Chariot drop Pouch since the update?

yes, we gotten it about 4 times out of maybe 9 bosses.

[Argettio]

Working on BLM to 75

In general, what should the priority be for gear? MAB, INT, Skill for Elemental magic?

Im guessing MAB > INT > Skill, but correct me if Im wrong please

During the leveling process MAB is very limited (moldy earring is about it untill 68). So yes i would get all the MAB you can (which will be 1-2 slots)

Skill only really comes for 2 places, Hands after 54 and Neck after 65. Normally I used the AF hands when I moved to a new camp, to see how I did against the new mobs. Once I was happy I would switch back to my INT or MAB hands. The elemental torque I wore from 65-75, before I used and INT neck.

After that ^ stack all the INT you can find.

So MAB > Skill (as much as you think you need) > INT.

But 90% of you set will be INT due to the lack of anything else till 68+.

320 ele skill may be what you're thinking about. smn skill adds accuracy to your blp, so especially for multihits, there's no reason not to stack more unless there's something else for the blp you desperately need in the slot, such as sacrifice should be used over smn torque.

[Tulun]

if I cap merit SMN skill (I have no plans to level RDM SCH etc...) will I be better off switching my acc merits or att merits for MAB merits?

Drop your acc merits, SMN skill doesn't affect avatar attack, but every 1 point of smn magic skill = ~1 point of avatar accuracy. I dropped my acc merits for mattk and I don't even notice the difference in accuracy.

Yeah.. I merited it long before that skill patch Giving SMN a bit more care since they seem to be actually fixing some of the annoying aspects of the job.

[dejet]

smn is great I will have to do a lot of reading I am finding out that a lot of what i did think might be off.I have not done anything with smn in like 2 years lol after i lvled blm smn did not see the light of day.

whm smn rdm sam blm (60 bard now) >.> with that job set up I do not ever see smn unless i go play around with some mobs.

[Conker]
