AV video solved? - Torque Theory Only

[vivix]

That's not 0%.

It will never be thanks to Quantum Mechanics!

I wanted to join this fiasco ; ;

Kparser doesn't log everything like i thought it would, if you want a chat log i can do that lol. Does anyone know of a program that does log everything in the chatlog?

Thank you thank you, will use it next fight.

Ok cookie its 0.002817% ... IE you would win the lotto 3 times before AV would only use 3 out of 15 two hours for 10 mins, using a two hour once every 30 sec to a min. yes... it...does.

I agree 0.002817% is close enough to 0 to assume it is 0, but damn! What lotto are you playing?! If it pays out the same as lotto's around these parts I'm moving to where you are and getting rich as hell. Then I'm gonna hire trained monkey assassins, (and one chimpanzee for diversity quota), and have them play FFXI and kill AV for me.

Holy shit thats the key. we have everyone wear torques and capes.... with the trained monkey assassins at the controls, we can't lose!

Wow, just wow.
For the last time, Absolute Virtue does not use Spirit Surge. Actually read posts before responding.

Time does not prove something is absent, it only increases the probability. No matter how much you believe that, it's not true.

the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence


but your a tard, shutup now

Thank you thank you, will use it next fight.

Logger as he mentioned should work just fine. I'm almost positive it covers every line without any type of dropout in text due to lag/flooding.

Going from truepandagod's post...

Temperence Torque blocks Meikyo Shisui
Fortitude Torque blocks Invincible
Faith Torque blocks Manafont
Hope Torque blocks Mighty Strikes
Justice Torque blocks Familiar and Mijin
Prudence Torque blocks Perfect Dodge
Merciful Cape blocks Hundred Fists, Chainspell, and Benediction (thats a big one)
Altruistic Cape blocks Blood Weapon and Eagle Eye Shot
Astute Cape blocks Call Wyvern and Soul Voice

Does this match up with what people have been seeing so far? If not maybe its possible it only blocks it for a certain amount of time, and maybe every time it 2hrs you have to tell AV what you "dont" want him to do next.

The only way this is worth a crap is if the "Locking" effect lasts a while.
Also i'll agree with ultimagi, there's no way one piece of gear will lock more than one 2-hr. however, wearing a torque and a cape might have a double benefit.
it's looking like the Torque (and not the player 2hr) determines the locking effect, if there is such a thing.

We now have every torque and cape for testing now. We just need to farm up some triggers again -_- ....

[tymora]

Ask another LS to borrow their pop to test, if they are not going to try it!

invincible -> ees --> call wyvern --> invincible -> wyvern -> invincle -> benediction -> wynavs -> MS(Nihil 2hr'd with torque on war)
-> BW -> 100fist -> EES -> wyvern -> manafont(hof countered with faith torque manafont) - benediciton(13,000 hp) -> *Cometed with no manafont@99%*
-> SAm2hr(countered by aku with temp torque on sam) -> Metor without manafont -> meteor without manafont -> *haha uses invincle without torque/sea and not to counter just to live*
-> manafont(Meteor x3) -> slow death

*also our rdm took 749 damage from meteor with stoneskin and meteor did 850 to me as blm/rdm with no shell and no stoneskin, pld's ate 3 meteors without dying and no fealty*

76% was lowest we got it

[Yabby]

I take it he was doing meteor because you got him to 79%? if so, maybe thats why it wasn't as powerful as the normal one. It does worry me that he kept doing it tho >.>

[Virtuous Saint]

Once you get it below 79% Meteor, Comet, and Explosive Impulse are on its spells/abilities lists permanently, and it can use them without the 2hrs which have to be used for them above 79%, even if it goes back to 100%, or loses aggro. Meteor and Comet without manafont active are approx 50% base damage of the manafonted versions. There is no 'volley' of meteor or comet when it hits 79%, it just has access to use them as frequently as AeroV, AerogaIV, or TornadoII at that point on. Another note is that during chainspell after 79% it cannot use meteor or comet, it will still just use Aero spells.

[thetruepandagod]

you guys are saying the non-manafont version of meteor is weaker, however it did the same damage to us as the manafonted meteor. (no one in tank pt ever died from a single manafonted meteor including the brd/rdm/whm's except when more then 1 went off in rapid succession) the blms are squishy tho we got rocked, which made it messy when wynavs were summoned right after a meteor which sucked and seem to have left it off the order due to the hectic fight

[Virtuous Saint]

No, it is 100% fact weaker as I stated.

[Enedin]

If we are going to maybe entertain this theory, he could have been using call wyvern because you need someone to 2hr with ix'drg cape to block it. And by this theory, ix'drg cape would block soul voice also. It may not even be any specific job, just anyone with the cape to 2hr (or in drg's case, call wyvern). In the AV video, they have black mages manafonting after every 2hr (granted they are probably in god mode) but I doubt they would "want" av to mirror manafont, so I would say there is a better chance of locking then mirroring.

Edit again:
Just went back and re-looked at your attempt. You said it was locked in Hundred Fists, Call Wyvern, Chainspell mode... all 3 of which are accounted for with capes. But you did seem to sucessfully lock all the "torque 2hrs" with your torques.

This sounds good.

[Yabby]

I tried asking a few, but most said "We were going to try to kill it" I asked if they are testing anything but they didn't seem to be trying any of the theory's in this thread.

Actually, it is. How many Nidhoggs have you seen maintenance day?

If some event X doesn't show up in system Y for Z trials, that's evidence (the strength of which depends on Z) that X doesn't occur in Y.
