SMN Update Testing

[Tachi]

I wonder if Pet: "Double Attack" +2%, Critical hit rate +2% could be a better choice than Pet: Attack+15 for BP?

[TripleX]

Fafnir Grand Fall:
680
747
708
642

Fafnir Geocrush:
642

Fafnir Heavenly Strike:
74 >.>

No TP btw.
Royal Redubgote with +7 Magic acc and MAB. Those are the only magic stuff I have for avatars. No merits in magic.

I just can't see that 2% doing enough.

I'm going with the MAttack and Perp cost because MAttack is just sexy and Perp because I eventually want to get free Fenrir.

But this is the awesome thing about being able to customize our armor. People with different priorities can choose different augments.

smn burn in einherjar looks like an awful lot of fun

Grand Fall at Level 4 w/ Level 4 M.att and ACP Body was doing 1057 with no TP building on Fafnir.


I creamed pants.

[TripleX]

time to switch all merits over to magic attack and magic acc I guess....

Very nice. But was it consistent ?

[DAKPluto]

Only 1 resist the entire time (2 m.acc merits).

BTW, at 47 second BP timer...that's averaging 1400 damage a minute all hate free. If skillchaining/MBing...could most likely average 1800 a minute.

And unlike BLMs or melee....don't have to stop a single time to lose hate.

[Toth]

Fascinating. I'm already set on getting my acc+10 / pet: attack/accuracy+15 body for my PUP (and DNC and COR) (note***I do not use my spiritreaver enough to justify giving up on my powerhouse SS) but wow at the nice bonuses there. Next time get some screenies :D

Idk if this holds any pertinence, or if they just didn't put the % on but I snapped a pic of someone today:

Is there a possible difference between 2% and +2 to crits and double attack? It would have to be a percent, wouldn't it? I wonder if it just wouldn't fit >.>

The same happened with a Haste+1 Belt. Kirschy found out it equated to 1% so that might just be their new style.

going off the other "+ should be %" bonuses augments give, i assume its %, also, didn't the description when they revealed the bonuses say %?

It did but you know how good SE is at sticking with what they say

[Fryte]

Can I request a pic of taru SMN in the redingote with af1 pants/feets? If the model is hideous, I'm probably gonna do either COR or PLD body instead.

[Tulun]

This new boost to SMN is quite fun... they've sorely need an update and SE actually delivered.

Kudos to them >.> If that 1000+ damage is actually consistent across many more situations, SMN DD may actually be practical in more fights

Here's the model in the af legs/feet. I don't think it looks too bad, then again it's on a taru so it's not like you can see it very well anyway.

[Rionel]

Whoo to Redingote!

Some minor tests on Mamool Jas:

Almost hit 1600s... Damn! Time to MB this later.

I've got the pet crit rate on Mirke for my BST (along with pet acc) and I was really really seriously impressed with it in terms of how much better pets were hitting last night. It's like pant-wettingly good. I did squeal when I hit earthen ward doing the final BC last night and saw the range on it - I rarely play my SMN because of having other jobs levelled and it was my first time on it since the patch.

[Indalecia]

Oh lord, remember Ulegeurand range Astral burn back in 05? God those were the days.

LOL yep - I remember someone managing to pull Jorm at one point as well with carby auto-attacking it!
