Random Question Thread IV: ROCKY WINS

[Dooom]

new question . i just finished helping a friend get a quicksand coffer key for sam af. Why the hell are too weak anticans aggroing the shit out of me?

You're not level sync'd or mistaking links for aggro or something dumb like that I assume?

[Khajit]

Nope. im lv 75. i killed all the mobs in a room before moving elsewhere. i checked the log to ensure the lv 55 sam wasn't aggroed and some weird shared hate thing happened. I just simply walk past a too weak and next thing i know I'm getting attacked. It's in the area where the save the queen NM is at so it would almost make sense if they aggroed anyone at thier nursery except i've gone there before without aggro. It's not even as if all of em aggro. just 30~50% of em.

Just hit 75 PLD a couple days ago and shield skill is a little gimp thanks to level sync (@215). Where would be a good place to skill up? Some friends suggested go /rdm to Boyahda Tree or Den of Rancor and pull a few black mandies, but just wondering if there's any place better. Also while skilling would it be advised to stick with Koenig shield or get a size 1 shield for more block proc's?

Do puks take +piercing damage?
Bard in my party is insisting they do not.

[Chen]

i'm going to say no, only because i get 2k drakes on birds, and not on sea puks.

can't offer you any proof though

[Despain]

They aren't, from my experience.

pld/rdm, phalanx, def food, you can tank those black mandies indefinately, as many as you want, so i'd say there is best.

i level synced pld alot, so i had to skillup shield as whm, whm/rdm, with genbu's/jelly/cheviot/taco, and i took majority 0's from white mandies in the tree + great skillups

[Raen Ryong]

According to otherwiki they are piercing-weak. I am unsure about this... my Drakes do a lot on them but that could easily be because they are weaker than the other merit mobs...

Is there a position for healers to stand at so that Omega's frontal/AoE mobs don't land? Not speaking strictly from a distance as much of an angle/location perspective.

Just to verify after reading a few searched threads as well as this link: releenaseraph: Slow Testing Continued

QD ice shot, earth shot, light shot have NO enhancement to para II, slow II, or dia III correct? I guess it'd be easier to say QD does not enhance any RDM T2 merits?

chigoes or mandies - i had fun leveling shield on rdm vs chigoes

Ok, since you can't search for words with 3 letters... is anyone able to link me to the fey weapon augment thread, because it's either buried or I am just entirely missing it.

Or specifically, I'm interested in knowing what augments have been achieved on the WHM mace.

I"m not sure if you feel like digging through thread 1-3 of this:

Erlkings with +5 damage/perdu.
Frag/perdu not the other way around.
Don't think I'd use Storm ever.
And
Frag/Koggel not the other way around.

Frag is really just crap anymore since you can get a 5 damage +more macc erlkings for a main for 1/100th the price.

Fuck even if you're really cheap you can double up the erlkings for some fagtastic combo and still be better geared then 90% of the blu's I see running around my server.

Ideally :

Some combination of the following : Perdu/Koggel/Erlkings
Or go for A Tizona.

Other then that the progression looks pretty good.

I was just simply listing the common popular sword combinations likely to be seen at the endgame. I know all too well about the usefulness of the Frag post-fay/MMM but it still deserves a spot up on the list of potential endgame weapons to use.

My current combination is Perdu/Koggel with Beast being switched in whenever I know im going to be fighting beast-types. The intimidation rate on Koggel is just brutal and the Beast Slayer isnt a bad sword.

Erlking's has potential, just need to hit the lottery with good augments. Currently the best ive seen is DMG+5 acc+6 enspell+.

Wasn't there a specific Fey Weapon augment thread though? I mean, called.... Fey Weapon Augments? Or something. Or did I dream that. I meandered through the Watchful Pixie thread a little, I did think to search for that but kinda lost me after a bit, saw a lot of strats involving kiting around rocks or something.

[Chen]

The watchful pixie thread basically turned into the augmented fey weapons quest, as far as i know thats where the majority of them were posted.

Mods merged the two threads into one I believe.

Would it still work if tanks were together (To avoid the Petra move since we have no WHM/Healing SCH)?

[Epysian]

What the hell am I supposed to do if I need to update one of my cards and I can't get that authenitcate crap or whatever. :/

I had to go to a friends house and update my payment method on his Xbox 360. Same card would not work on my PC

[Vagabont]

Ignoring all other options (no koenig, valor, etc)

Is there a situation in which any piece of adaman is better than any piece of Iron Ram Gear? IR seems superior by far
