Random Question Thread IV: ROCKY WINS

[Tarowyn]

That's a trio right? Any duo combinations? :D

Say, DRK/NIN tp to 100, 2hr souleater sturmwind + icarus wing + sturmwind with a healer?

I've seen a vid of a drk/nin and smn duo one one of the them before (mea mayeb?). drk was using 2 daggers for BW/SE and smn astral flowed of course, I'll go look for the link later if I remember.

I kinda doubt that since it can't proc on jumps; you're only getting acc bonus and 5% haste; and that's not better than DA from war and you're giving 4.5 acc from suppa. Not to mention zerk >.>

6% Haste > 10% DA

20>25 haste on gear, +35 = 55>60 haste = 2.22>2.5 = 12.6% increase in swing speed.
5% DA > 15% DA = .1/1.05 = 9.5% increase in swing speed. Gain 10 accuracy, lose 4.5 acc, so net gain of 5.5 accuracy.

There is absolutely no way /war will compete with /drg. I didn't even count the last .6% haste from shield, and really jumps and zerk should probably be pretty close on damage.

[Baha]

you're giving 4.5 acc from suppa.

You're not.

[Argettio]

You're not.

Brutal + Wyvern for /DRG

Brutal + Suppa for /WAR

Suppa + Wyvern is never likely to compete with either of the above.

[FailureMidgard]

Brutal + Wyvern for /DRG

Brutal + Suppa for /WAR

Suppa + Wyvern is never likely to compete with either of the above.

Read my post. Brutal + Suppa + /war = 4.5 acc, 15 DA. Brutal + Wyvern + 10 acc = 10 acc, 5 DA, 5 haste.

The latter wins, hands down. I think Baha's point is what my last post said, that /drg with wyvern earring is a gain in acc.

Fair enough, I thought he was implying that you should use Suppa + Wyvern.

[Mikus]

Where/how do you get to the Ephramadian Shade camp in Mire?

[Killkenny]

That was never implied, even with the wildest imagination in the world you couldn't interpret it that way.

The whole MV infatuation is getting ridiculous now, who the fuck would bring 8 schs to wing 3 einherjar anyway when you can already realiably beat it with 1 ally. I'm all for finding practical ways to make things easier but just trying to abuse something like MV when it would be counter-productive is plain stupid.

@ above post Dvucca Isle staging point and run SW through the tunnel at H-10.

[arshesney]

Where/how do you get to the Ephramadian Shade camp in Mire?

Dvucca staging point (same way you follow for the Cutter), follow the narrow passageway and head straight ahead, you will get to a cave, past that cave there are almost all shade pops.
Don't walk over ponds or you might pop the imp NM.

5% Haste > 10% DA

ftfy, only 5 not 6 since shield doesn't do anything for pld Sentinel Shield - Bahamut - FFXIAH.com

[SwaggerlikeKillquick]

SAM what merits do you think should be first and which can be done last.

as a fresh 75 SAM with no Stp merits should I shoot for a 6 hit build? What would be best way to reach it my current gear is.

Hagun/Pole grip/NA/Tiphia
Turban/PCC/Brutal/Fowling *Have supp so no bushi QQ
Haubergeon+1/Dusk/Blood/Rajas
Cuch/Swift/Byakkos/Fuma

Does this work untill im 5/5 Stp and then switch Fuma out with Hachiman?

Also I don't know if I checked all available earrings but I have Suppa/Ethereal so the 2 popular earrings Bushi/Howl are out but what would be the best TP earring after those?

I like Fowling for the 3 ACC but would 6 ATT from Merman's be better for my current setup?

Any input is appreciated.

Is a 3% DW, +10ACC wardecors acceptable to WS in on THF until antares harness/skadi?
I'm thinking it would beat NQ dragon harness (which is what I have) by a considerable amount when ACC isn't capped.

[Byrthnoth]

Err... Wyvern Targe has 1% Haste on it. That's probably what he's talking about?

[Nightfyre]

Err... Wyvern Targe has 1% Haste on it. That's probably what he's talking about?

Which is the point, /DRG only adds 5% Haste rather than 6 since a DD PLD should already be getting 1% Haste from the shield slot regardless if they're not dual-wielding.

[Byrthnoth]

Ah, okay. Wasn't really paying attention.

Random Question:
Statements -
Magical Haste caps at ~44%
Victory March ~11% Haste
Advancing ~9% Haste
RDM gives 15% Haste

In the interest of conserving Soul Voice for multiple K-club zergs, wouldn't it make more sense to have a BRD SV Victory March and Blade Madrigal rather than one do SV March x2 and SV Madrigal x2?
If you took two Bards and had one SV Victory March and Blade Madrigal then have the other do non-SV Advancing March and Sword Madrigal, you'd have the same Haste, ~14 fewer Acc, and be able to do twice as many runs.

Assuming you're talking about DE and Evisc, I'd imagine so. But SB and Man. Stab need a lot less acc, so I'd stick with dragon harness

[Kipling]

Using a tred scythe I only need 16 stp for a 6 hit correct? 15 from /sam and 1 from my brutal. Just making sure~
