Randomerest Question Thread III: This Time It's Random

Does anyone know if Souleater works on Grauberg [S] fey fight Qaudav?

[FailureMidgard]

Not really most of the parse numbers are againist decent to great drg, sam, drk, and wars though my dmg% is a bit lower on second tier colibiri due to flash being reflected at me[only parse 8~10% there unless two buffers with 3 DD in pt]. Though I do have 4 sword merits and pretty well geared DD set-up.

The fact you even list DRK kinda proves my point, especially at ~55-56 sync parties. Sam/war using any weapon but a pole are pretty bad also.

PLD is just a one-hander melee with two good weapons (joyeuse/justice) and without any offensive ability or trait (Hasso/Berserk/DA/Martial Arts). PLD can do half the damage of a hasso melee, maybe less. It's not that bad.

Talking in exp parties, not merit parties, but I'm pretty sure I can say with confidence that a paladin won't do half my damage on sam in a merit party...

Posting here and tech area since not sure where I should post it but part of the grauberg [S] seems corrupted for me. My game freezes[no pol area or anything just stop loading screen working music still plays and such] when I go to certain parts of the map[around G-8] for no reason, if I am in other parts of zone seems to work fine. Even restarting my comp logging in it freezes after few seconds. So any idea how to fix by replacing .dats or something?
Also I can get thru fine when I log on my friends' computer.

It works, but it takes a cut in damage like forts would. If you're thinking about zerging; you won't be doing a lot of damage, you'll lose a lot of HP while zerging, plus he'll fuck it over with his 3 x 2 hours anyway.

Kill him normally.

Because it has the highest defense and block rate, bar Aegis.

Neo proved Aegis to have the same blockrate as normal size 3's, just less damage taken when blocking.

This is a question I have as well. With shields that have a very high blockrate such as Sipar (98%), does the block still allow for uninterrupted spell casting? If that is the case, there's some argument for it being a better option in situations where getting ichi up constantly is required/beneficial.

Kinda off subject of failure and wolf
As far as 55-56 pts, rng frame pup/war is pretty top notch. When i lv'd pup (almost exclusively at leypoint from 55-75) I was not once outparsed including drgs and sams w/ brd and cor support. Though once I went from lessers to regular colibri I got bested by a drg/war by about 1.5%

[Arximiro]

With Bone at 103 and Leather at 52 I have the same chance to HQ cursed gloves as I would at bone 106 and leather 61 correct? Is the success rate the same also? Gonna burn up 6 angel skins and just wanna be sure.

Ls member is arguing that tachi jinpu is not magic damage and its not his fault that the flans in Bhaf lost the spikes on their heads after hitting the physical resistant one w/ a 1k jinpu.

Need a couple confirmations so I can link him here when we're done so he knows that he's a dumbass and fucked up popping the rampart.

Isn't it built right into the description? >_>

Deals wind elemental damage to enemy.

[Cream Soda]

Yea, we mentioned that, he then stated how he went and tested it on puks and didn't heal them

well unlike other magical ws, the sam series seems to be Magic/Slashing, where as most are magic only.

Well according to otherwiki (I know, granite) the effect of terror is treated the same as the effect of petrify, thus resist petrify/earth effects work the same on terror.

So now I ask if that is so, will the 20% damage mitigation on sand mantle work for terror as well?

I ask this because it would work very well for super tanking BB as dnc in a DD + dnc duo. Combined with earth staff and some darksteel gear, rings, or whatever I could very easily achieve 50% dmg mitigation.

Combined with fan dance, I'd be sitting at a total of 95~60% dmg- for the whole fight.

All I'd need to do is stack the crap out of emnitty and sub war, and spam provoke/animated flourish while the DD subs thf and TAs all their wses on me as well, pretty much keeping hate on me permenantly.

Second qeustion though, because BB has enterror, will the effect of the sand mantle, if it does consider terror=petrify, proc as he attacks or only after once I'm terrored and the next attack round while still terrored?

Obviously the first case would be much better as the -20% dmg would proc on the attack itself, making meextremely resilient to his attacks, as oposed to only getting it procing on the following attacks while I'm still in terror state until it wears.

I do have the buccaneers knife, and have managed to succesfully kill this with a 75 blu via him spamming stun with me while we pummel him into submission, but it was slow and very close call so a much safer and more effiecent method like this one would be very much welcomed.

thanks for the feedback.

For WAR. Is Fighter's Calligae +1 -ever- better than Aurum Sabatons?
We'll say access to any piece of gear.

My belife is that the haste DEX and acc will greatly out weigh 1% double attack.

[Cream Soda]

1% DA doesn't even beat 1 haste, yet alone 2 and all that acc

[Sira]

1% DA doesn't even beat 1 haste, yet alone 2 and all that acc

Thanks so much for the fast reply. Now I can link the person I was arguing with here and he can see.

Since he's a war gonna assume 20% da (merits, base trait brutal)

+1 DA is not even going to be a 1% increase in damage. 1 haste even w/ 0 as base is going to beat it.

2 acc at 94% base is going to be a higher average increase

[Drex]

well unlike other magical ws, the sam series seems to be Magic/Slashing, where as most are magic only.

They also stack with Sneak Attack, and do 0 damage to Invincibled mobs. I've never seen any kind of evidence that it's magic damage except the description.

[zagex]

Does TH affect gunpods from Proto-Omega?

[Thunder]

TH doesn't affect mobs with 100% drops. Game wouldn't know if you wanted a chip or af to drop more often.

[Eder]

Hay GUYZ, i am doing Dynamis- San d'Ora atm, i somehow found the green npc name right in front of AH with the name "Fire spirit", i was going to approach and click it, however it disappeared immediately, and still hasn't seen it repop. Had anyone seen it before?

[Marihoki]

Yay for random questions...

I keep hearing random screeching(sp?) sounds coming from my mules moghouse, it sounds like some birds dieing... at 15:00 was the last one I heard >_> its not the cricket furnishing, I don't think. It was rather odd, and ya, at 21:00 just now in game I heard some growling noises O_o maybe I am just going nuts, but if anyone knows, what would those be coming from? Could they be coming from the fafnir/behemoth statues...?
