Random Question Thread V: But does it 6-hit

[Andradi]

Perdu Sickle with /SAM, Rajas, Brutal Earring and White Tathlum is enough for 6-hit, correct? Or is my math off?

If you use a real weaponskill (and if you're not why the fuck aren't you using greatsword?) then you can ditch the tath. Just needs 3/4 guillo hits.

Don't need Tathlum if you land 2 additional hits on Guillo. Tathlum would make it a true 6-hit though, yes.

Edit: Hurr

As long as I have the current ID and PW, will they ask me for the old CC information? I don't have that :/

If you have reg codes alternatively I think that'll work too, otherwise they ask for first/last 4 digits of CC (last 4 you can see on current payment info in POL, first 4 you're SOL).

By keep calling, he should've said, ask to speak to an account manager

Err, yeah, forgot to add it would be for spellcast to replace it in when switching back to TP set if TP was below 12%. So would trigger only when needed to make sure I retained 6-hit if starting from zero of whiffed hits.

Thanks guys

So, we're pretty clear on Kubira Beads being the neck-piece of choice for capped acc TP sets. How would Bull Necklace (+4str) compare to other options? Would the loss of 4dex compared to Kubira matter? I've seen several people saying they don't wanna use Kubira 'cos of the +5% damage taken thing, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone discuss Bull Necklace as an option, and I can't see why it isn't.

Sometimes it would be better (albeit marginally) to think about swapping in Attila's Earring/Ecphoria Ring rather than losing the Bomblet in that situation.

Sometimes here meaning when you're not using Blitz Ring!

[Dramafinderftw]

can RDM solo Vulpangue? If so what is the strategy for this.

Does anyone know what the agro distance is for Bhaf gears with weather?

windower 20' is what i have heard and live by

Edit: twice normal agro/link range is another factoid

I use Blitz for most merit situations, Acc ring for most end game events.

Yes, and it's basically straight tank it until Poison drops it. I think you can occasionally toss a Bind out to buy space to Composure > buff cycle, but I believe it builds up a resistance if you use it too often.

never again will I do that fight.. takes way to damn long

[Callisto]

That's why I stopped soloing crap on RDM in general, lol. Do it once to say you've done it, and call out the LS every time after that.

[Raen Ryong]

Can you not nuke it? The majority of RDM fights don't take too long unless you're playing super cautiously, unless you count 10~15 minutes as long

[Dramafinderftw]

You can, but it gives it TP and it's TP move can do 800+

Are there any solo strategies for Ixtab?

[Raen Ryong]

Does it kill shadows? I heard that its power decreases as its HP becomes less too? I could be entirely wrong with my hypothetical approach here though, given I never tried soloing the thing.

Are we talking RDM? If it can be Gravity'd, just Gravity or Bind it on pull, Invisible yourself, and run to the nearest set of stairs. Just use them as your kiting area similar to how you would do Steam Cleaner (using one of the methods).

There's little to no info on wiki about it so I can't really advise further ;x doesn't seem too difficult though from concept.

[Hegarty]

What are these things for?

RDM, PLD, or THF.
