Random Question Thread IV: ROCKY WINS

[Aero]

In the process of transforming standard bow rng into gun rng, what bullets are normally used to TP in? I'm obviously using silver bullets for WS/barrage, but would prefer something a bit cheaper but not gimpy to TP in.

Silver are the TP/WS/Barrage. The next best thing would be Steel bullets; which due to it being CORs best ammo, is more expensive than silvers.

Just a note Im fairly sure silver are cheaper to /ra in than demons due to guns longer delay.

has it ever been determined if magic accuracy (from gear) affects quick draw? i'm inclined to say yes, but...
and if so, how do i compare agi and macc for it? 2:1 i would think.

The closest I've seen was that CORs report "notably better" accuracy when using Warlock's Roll than not. At the very least, I would hope that gear m.acc is not a different category than Warlock's Roll m.acc, because that would just be terrible. But as far as I know, nobody has seriously tested Quick Draw and m.acc. It is generally assumed to work.

As for me...I use Omega Ring over a 2nd AGI ring because Omega Ring is taking up space no matter what (I barely use my THF non-solo). If I had Balrahn's, it would be the same story. I don't have Nimue's Tights, but I'm quite happy with Denali. I'm not actually sure there are other slots with gear that's in any way comparable (Drone earring should definitely beat Lycopodium Earring).

[Thorny]

Staves effect QD accuracy, compare no weapon and 5 more agi from gear to auster's staff doing wind shots at MJSP. The difference is night and day, I did a test with my friend a while back on them(using very little agi gear and adding a breeze ring when not using staff)..

With Staff
Full Stick:34
Half Resist:12
Fourth Resist:3
Eighth Resist:1
Sixteenth Resist:0

Without:
Full Stick:21
Half Resist:15
Fourth Resist:8
Eighth Resist:4
Sixteenth Resist:2

I realize that's a relatively small sample, but the difference still provides a very good confidence interval. Anecdotally, I notice a significant increase in my quick draw accuracy when using warlock's roll.. unless gear magic accuracy is seperate from warlock's roll AND stave accuracy bonus then it effects shots.

[Epysian]

Does anyone know what Moghancement: Campaign from Jeunoan Flag exactly does?

I think it makes it easier to rank up in Campaign.

[seiji]

meripo as pld: /nin joy/justice VS /sam GS (no suppa no merit)

[Mikus]

After gaining Insurgency, is there ever a time Drk uses GS?

[Andradi]

The same place they always used them, High level mobs?

I guess what I'm wondering though is if a 75Drk has Abysal, any/capped scythe merits, and especially Justice Torque, wouldn't you use Scythe > GS at all times since skill gap is that wide and you can make both light and dark?

A bit late, but Jem did a parse showing Warlock's Roll effects QD accuracy, it's a safe bet that means M.Acc gear will too.

Nah, you still can't trust Guillo/Insurgency to land enough hits to outdamage Greatsword in a low buff situation.

Greatsword + Pizza is the way to go in those!

[Astarael]

So, double weakened and weakened both effect magic accuracy and attack or whichever it is, do they have the same effect on melee accuracy/atk or ranged accuracy/attak?

[Pendulum]

Single weakened has no effect on your magic apart from the +slow. When double-weak any direct damage like nukes will deal 0 damage however, Bio will land for 0 but the DoT will still take effect as shown on videos like avesta soloing Kindred NMs.

Can't say I have any experience of being double weak on a melee/ranged job

thanks, but i know it has an effect on magic only interested in its effect on melee acc/atk and ranged acc/atk

Single weak doubles delay, double weak cripples acc and attack as well.

[Siniroth]

Drain and aspir still work while double weakened afaik

[Revitozu]

In the works of leveling RNG! What level is it okay to replace my lvl14 Ranger's Necklace? No Peacock Charm/Amulet. ; ; Don't want to be missing something obvious, but that seems like the best neck piece at the moment.

general gear improvments, while we're at it >.>

this, only way you can really expect double weakened dmg to do much is if you SA a ws.

[Avarice]

Reading on otherwiki, it states that when repairing a Lu Shang's Rod that, "The broken rod can never be lost in a normal failed synth. It will only be lost if the synth is interrupted in some way, such as by being attacked or moving to another area (ship docking)."

My question is does being disconnected also cause the broken Lu Shang's Rod to be lost?

[Vodou]

Single weakness does not reduce ranged delay (unless it's drastically less than the 100% slow that melee gets). (Same reason I suppose that slow and haste don't affect ranged.)

I haven't had the pleasure of being double weakened too often but the one time I can recall plainly it messed my ranged ability (racc / ratt) a ton. Damage was stupidly low and accuracy was terrible.

Don't recall if it had a delay affect.
