Random Question Thread V: But does it 6-hit

Scanner causes the puppet to not nuke if it thinks it'll just get resisted. I'm guessing you already have Tranquilizer on so you're pretty much shit out of luck.

[JigglyJam]

I'm not a pup but the closest thing to a scanner i know of is drg af/relic helm. That has been recorded as making the wyvern use WIND breath vs puks.
Scanner might possibly backfire.

It does backfire when I used it against Armed Gears. Won't cast anything. Although I didn't have full magic merits at the time.

Anyways the automaton AI isn't capable of handling the element switching. Only able to nuke when the gears' resistance changes in favor of the automaton's highest nuke.

As it starts losing gears it's magic resistance goes south and then it becomes easier to nuke with automaton. Somewhere below 50% is when the element doesn't matter anymore so automaton nuking works.

tldr; Automaton is pretty much useless for over half the fight.

Is there a way to bind a different key in windower for screenshots aside from printscreen? Is that possible? Can I use any key? Using two hands to ss is rather slow for spamming.

Thanks in advance~

Windower\scripts\init.txt

bind [button] screenshot png hide

[Secksi]

It's in your init in the scripts folder. I use the end key.

bind end screenshot png hide

Change end to whatever you want to use to take a screenshot.

edit-and beaten.

Question about Dark Ixion because I can never get a straight answer on it.

Does Damsel Memento remove Elegy?
And what do most groups do with their brds? Do you make them come /BLM for ES or have them come /whm for erase/cure/raise?

[Cairthenn]

It removes all status ailments if I'm remembering correctly. Also, Elegy does nothing on DI. Lastly, Secksi, do you have Dusk Gloves +1 for sale? (This qualifies as random question).

[Seedz]

Elegy, Paralyze and Slow do not affect Dark Ixion in any way, shape or form. Its normal attacks are considered TP moves/Weaponskills by the game, so there's no way you can alter its attack speed or paralyze him. BRDs sub WHM and help erasing.

Sorry, do not. Haven't made any +1 in 2months or so(last pair was the day I got dring).

Quick question about enfeebling magic that i wanna clarify before my RDM gets lvl'd

A friend of mine was saying INT effects accuracy, where MND effects potency on all enfeebs. I always thought it was INT/MND effect their respective spell's potency. With only magic acc or skill effecting accuracy. Any clarification?

[Kyte]

You're half right; MND affects the potency and accuracy of white magic enfeebles, while INT affects the potency and accuracy of black magic enfeebles. However, what you say is true for drain and aspir, which are only affected by dark skill and magic accuracy.

You have it right. INT affects black magic(blind, bind, etc) potency while MND affects white magic(slow, para) potency. Accuracy for both is determined by skill and m.acc. Some say that stat(int/mnd) also affect accuracy but I can't say for sure.

[Suit and Tie]

I fail at search function so does anyone any links to optimal BLU TP/WS/specific spell sets of gear? I'd like to optimize my alt's BLU more, but I have 0 clue on how to play BLU at all.

Same question, replace BLU with SMN

[Wakabo]

Friend of mine wanted me to see if this ws set for sam would be worth it at all with the +30 store tp.

Weather it be good, bad, keep a 6 hit, keep a 5 hit, or just the dumbest thing ever, anything is appreciated. :3

Weather it be good, bad, keep a 6 hit, keep a 5 hit, or just the dumbest thing ever, anything is appreciated. :3

If you WS in that you need:
41 sTP in your TP phase to get a 6hit
77 sTP in your TP phase to get a 5hit
(assuming capped merits)

Which means you could get away with rajas+brutal as your only sTP during TP and still make a 6hit (not a true 6hit).

5 hit is out of the question, not without more sTP or higher delay weapon.

You lose 3 STR compared to the 'normal' SAM ws set.
But you get to keep your second ring and grip compared to the new 'normal' SAM TP set.

So it comes down to, 1-3ACC (tp only) and 2% DA vs 3STR (ws only)

Not worth it (in cost alone) but is likely to be worse than the norm (as the norm is the norm for a reason).

Edit/NB: It could be useful for people w/o capped merits (but I am grasping at straws here)
