So I was walking towards the teleport npc in Sandy [S] and I saw a Moogle floating above the ramp, basically in the middle bottom portion of I-8, and then it disappeared. Anybody know what it's for?



I don't think so.

I am almost positive they do, since I've been more or less retaining my rank from OPs only.

Its the same glitch that happens in Lower Jeuno.

Really? I guess since you just don't typically get very many of my notes from Ops that they never seemed to make or break whether or not I would maintain Wings of Honor.

Is there any kind of way I can buffer burn kill dobsonfly? Like maybe sam/blm with meditate and bio and a gang of reraises, or would meditate be fucked for 0 dmg after 2nd weakness?

One Bio2 takes off 10%. If you've got RDM or BLM buffer to burn go for it, just keep in mind you need to have an unweakened character to killshot in the case of RDM(blm can ES drain while double weakened, at 1-2%).

[Teorem]

Do allied notes from campaign ops count towards evaluation?

They do, and it's possible to rank up from Campaign Ops alone, though it took the character I did them on an entire month to do so.

I meant sam subbing blm when i said sam/blm. Meditate ws and bio before deaths. I don't have blm or rdm that high

Bio 1 lasts 30 seconds I think so that won't work.

[Drex]

Don't know what level your BLU is but I hear they can do it with pinecone bomb or something

Random question: Are yagudo piercing weak?

[Andradi]

Nope.

[Gryffes]

WHM, SMN, BRD, RNG which has the most AN/hr potential in campaign? All well geared.

60 sec.

For best AN/hr in campaign battle, you want to get xp from lots of different categories. The main ones are doing damage, taking damage and curing damage, but enfeebles (not Dia/Bio) and raises are also good sources of XP. I do pretty decently tanking on BRD/WHM with Thyrsusstab spamming Spirit Taker like a 2004 PLD; I imagine a WHM with good melee gear and Mystic Boon would do as well or better.

SMN has the advantage of being able to cure or buff a whole swarm of players at once. I don't know how much enhancing xp got nerfed along with brd buffs, but I imagine cures are still good. And then you can also melee and Spirit Taker.

RNG doesn't seem as effective for Campaign XP as the others: you'll be doing good damage, but aren't really set up to take it or cure it.

[stewie]

Do Bloody Bolts count as cured damage?

Does crit hit +6% from Destroyers affect kick attacks? Any rough estimate of footwork DOT vs regular mnk DOT (assume Destroyers, brutal and 25%haste/22%+dunes, whichever is better)?

[Cream Soda]

Does crit hit +6% from Destroyers affect kick attacks? Any rough estimate of footwork DOT vs regular mnk DOT (using Destroyers)?

They don't, crit weapons only work on blows dealt by that weapon. Kicks are counted with your feet as the weapon, so it won't work. As for DOT, I don't have an estimate, but its a large diff enough to make you insta gimp by using it.

Mystic Boon has made Campaign so much more fun... some NMs I can chip away at forever. Martial/Perdu etc are a lot of fun and we get more haste than is really fair. Since Boon I've gotten so much more out of Campaign because my staying power is huge. WHM/NIN is now my favourite job to take out for Campaign.

Question that needs a quick answer.

Would I be able to see dobsonfly on widescan with /1bst?


Edit: /1rng

No. That island is not scannable from any other island that I've tried as rng main.

I just took 318 damage from Rapido's 1000 Needles, with me as the only target. -31% PDT (idle when it happened), 350 Stoneskin, 27 Phalanx. How?

[Spekkio]

1000-310=690
690-350=340
340-27=313
318-313=5
so you're looking at half a % difference between what you expected and actual. this is most likely explained by the fact that the % description in the item text is an approximation of the damage reduction which is represented in a fraction of 1024 i believe. as such, something like the dring is 102/1024 reduction or thereabouts pegging it slightly under 10%. enough of those rounding errors from several pieces of darksteel+1 could easily account for half a %.

[Raen Ryong]

Ah-ha, thank you very much the error I was making was calculating Stoneskin first, so 1000 - 350 etc. That does make a lot more sense~

EDIT: Yes, I know it doesn't make logical sense to do it in that order either. No idea how I thought of that.
