Precise slow value on Valhalla breastplate/helm

[Ryuumaru]

I'm definitely head and shoulders above you as a Paladin.

Right, because I don't wear a haub, and use my hauteclaire for only Khimaira, Tiamat, Ixion, and anything that is a non-engageable NM you are a better paladin than me or anyone in my linkshell.

[Kirschy]

Dammit!

In any case, I have a question. How can you make sure Slow% is not directly subtracted from Haste% but is calculated independently?

The slow from Valhalla is subtracted from haste, and not calculated as a seperate term. (I think you meant how do I know it's not the reverse?)

I tested with other haste gear to make sure.

Dusk Gloves+1: 40/1024
Speed Belt: 61/1024
Homam Feet: 30/1024
Blitz Ring: 11/1024

Total Haste: 142/1024

Valhalla Helm + Breastplate: 110/1024

If Valhalla Gear is subtracted from haste it should work out as such:

(1 - (142/1024) + (110/1024) ) * 180 = 174.375 seconds

If Valhalla Gear is calculated as a seperate term, it should work out close to this: (Order and truncation would affect the actual number slightly.)

(1 - (142/1024) ) * (1 + 110/1024) * 180 = 171.69 seconds

When tested, the recast comes out to be 2:54 which fits the first scenario perfectly. I also tested with other March Speeds and Haste gear~

And I do wear a haub? w

Since when are any of those non-engageable?

They aren't; meant to say that I also use it for anything non-engageable, perhaps I should have worded that better. But I prefer mach+1 for things of that caliber also.

What isn't engageable?

He's probably refering to stall scenarios.

I mean dont get me wrong, most things can be melee-friendly, but stalling Khim with PLD BRD RDM can be nasty if it somehow gets Fossilizing Breath off

[Ryuumaru]

JOL unless you want a tentacle through your ass(In which case you don't, you'd want a mach+1), or Tiamat if your LS doesn't believe in engaging(Haute).

edit: and yes, "stall scenarios"

... why would anyone use a haute on JoL?

Maybe I'm just doing horrible at wording things today, but you'd want a mac+1 for enmity or RK lance for the casts.

[Tsuko_Asura]

JoL is acceptable, but Tiamat? That's just dumb.

And you should always engage during a "stall situation". Blinding potions are your friends.

Or you could just replicate the effect and not waste money by just... not engaging. >_>

[Ryuumaru]

Who the fuck carries a stack of blinding potions at all times? lol

You underestimate the usefulness of random parry procs

Honestly, what is a Hauteclaire?

Oh, that thing that comes from Mog Bonanza, w

I think like half of Fairy's hauteclaire are from the mog bonanza.

... We have a Paladin on Fairy that has Excalibur and Hauteclaire but doesn't have a single piece of homam, or a valor surcoat, or shadow mantle/ring, or anything rly. >_>

yes he do

[homerun]

Not sure if this is the right topic, but has the mkd head been tested? I'm wondering if the 5% haste mkd head is more or less hate than turban.

[Max™]

Now THAT is an interesting thing to light the Kirschy signal for, as it is two combined haste values which may or may not be exactly 20/1024 and 30/1024, significantly enough over 50/1024 may be enough to make me have to reconsider the head I was gonna get.
