Can someone explain Overloading to me nice and slowly? >.>

[Bakthi]

So, I have the jobs in my sig. I mostly use COR, BLM, and BRD (although I wish I used WAR a lot and BRD once a month). I will eventually get DRG 75. I am going for Maat's Cap, but all the other jobs that aren't 75 yet are staying 66; I have more than enough 75s to be flexible enough, and I'm out of space as it is without gearing more jobs permanently.

Our LS leader is part of my Nyzul static, and is serious about going for WHM mythic. I'm going to tag along with him to repeat all of the assaults because I have like 120k AP saved up and am down to 1 Salvage a week, and it sounds like fun (I am aware that something is wrong with me). So I need to pick a mythic to start. I may never get the alexandrite together for it, but just in case, I want to start one that isn't going to be completely stupid.

I'm not doing the BRD one, because that will just make me play BRD more. The BLM one seems fail. Death Penalty might be good, although I rarely shoot for TP on COR, and have a Corsair's Gun +1 for QD, so I wonder how much better it would really be (no info yet). I really like COR, though. I also really like WAR, and could see myself doing either that or DRG. I'm sure DRG will be 75 long before the mythic is done (it's now 60). DNC is a fun job, but I think its issues would hold me back from being able to use it much, even with a mythic.

Anyway, suggestions/abuse/opinions please.

If you're going to have Drg at 75, get the Drg Mythic imo.

Can any of the following jobs solo any portion of MMM without use of a low level friend: BLM BLU DRG PUP NIN/DNC? BST is low level but if that's best I can easily get it to 35 for Leave if needed.

I've done on drg/mage and blu/nin but it's some what luck based on mobs you get.

As a 75WAR, should I bother with haste gear if I can only get ~ 10-12% haste?

Right now I have Walhara Turban (5%) and Dusk Gloves (3%), and have been saving to get Dusk Ledelsens (2%). Is this enough to be worthwhile on, say, Merit party?

I don't do any end-game stuff, only Dynamis a couple of times a week.

I am (very)slowly working thru the CoP missions to try and get a Swift belt, so that may be another possibility soon. Also, is the Level 41 belt (2%) worth it with the equipment above?

Also, could somebody kind of give me like a summary of when a haste build is worthwhile? Something like: <5% not worth it, >10% worth it, etc. etc. (I did read some posts here about haste, but could not gather from them what I wanted to know / afford)

Thank you for your replies / comments

[Mayareira]

Level 10% haste is definitely better than other alternatives like optical hat, etc. Swift belt is rather easy to obtain(could zerg up to 4-3 in a day) so it shouldn't take you "that" long to grab yourself one even if you take CoP slowly.

Dusk pieces are good investments. And yes, you should use them in your merit PTs.

Thanks for the link.

At this time, I can really only commit ~ 15 to 20 hours to the game per week, so I really don't see myself doing ZNM for quite some time. Also, the ls I am currently in has only 1 or 2 people who are on more than I am, so its sometimes difficult to gather people to do events. Most shouts in WG I have done have been unsuccessful.

I have been doing some pick-up nyzul runs but have no success in getting any Askar gear. What are some good pieces for WAR?

Body: allows for a 6hit build w/o rajas ring (but lacks acc).
Feet: good for WS before heca and good for Ohshi situations.

Not sure if this would really go here or in what's better thread but...


Are AF+1 best Guillo gloves or am I forgetting something?

Hachiryu Store TP set bonus with 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 pieces,

5 > 10 > 15 > 20,
0 > 10 > 15 > 20, or
0 > 0 > 0 > 20?

Or something else?

0>5>10>15 from my understanding of it.

[Argettio]

0>5>10>15 from my understanding of it.

well it end in 20, that's the only think I am sure off.

Based on the fact that the set bonus wasn't know until PW was killed:

0,0,0,20 makes the most 'sense'

I doubt it would be

5,10,15,20 as that would mean 1 piece would give 5 sTP on its own (sound too broken)

0, 6.6, 13.3, 20 makes more sense IF there partial set bonus.

[Drace]

2 Pieces is 5 STP, 3 is 10 STP - my guess is you get an extra set bonus with all 4, or that the body happens to count for 10 STP as a set piece. Not sure if anyone has tested just 2 pieces with the body. I have tested the other 3 pieces in combination.

Overload - FFXIclopedia, the Final Fantasy XI wiki - Characters, items, jobs, and more is actually pretty good

What's the best AH h2h for MNK?

It's for my second character that I don't really care to completely pimp out. Maybe one day I'll bother to get destroyers for it, but not really a priority.

[Drace]

Budget: Wagh Baghnakhs - Bahamut - FFXIAH.com

If you want to spend the gil: Hades Sainti - Bahamut - FFXIAH.com

[Suited Aces]

I saw the hades, but wasn't happy about the price. I had overlooked the wagh's cuz I didn't notice the latent. I believe I'll take the budget route. Thanks.

Really quick question on the effect of Soul Voice.

Cap for Minuet IV is 66 at 56 from base, +5 from instrument, and +5 from merits
If I were to use Soulvoice, would Minuet IV provide:
132 ATT?
112 ATT?

If it provides 122 ATT, would it be due to merits, or due to instrument effects?
