Random Question Thread V: But does it 6-hit

How much Subtle Blow does Blade: Metsu give?

[BerenTebogo]

Rough estimate I got was +20 but that was with charm -> <pettp> and nobody ever confirmed for me if that was the right way to do it.

[lolwut]

Kreutzet is piss easy to straight tank and is bindable.

Cool, thanks. He seemed pretty easy dbox, but I just wanted to make sure it wasn't my imagination before I wasted my time camping it only to be caught with my pants down.

10 hits with the AM on and <pettp> would give a precise number. (Assuming you recorded what eq you were wearing~)

Still have your data by any chance?

[BerenTebogo]

I don't the PC I was playing with 1.5 years ago is dead and buried. All I have left are some gear shots and parses

After the GAX thread, I'm half tempted to start a relic thread and get full testing on each weapons effects so it can be documented =x

There was one in standard pre-merge that was 9-10 pages long which is half of the reason for my thorough and powerful RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE on the subject.

People have had plenty of opportunity to post this information.

WAR cat 1 merits, what should i merit for a GA WAR?

[BerenTebogo]

DA5/5 and the rest you'll hear conflicting info. 2/2/1 if you don't have ebody / relic imo.

In addition to Sath's post, 4DA/3berserk/3aggressor and 5da/5berserk are both pretty "accepted" merit builds. I've seen posts on Alla claiming that 5da/5berserk will trump all other options, but I've also seen some very unconvincing maths come from there, and idk if they took account of things like aggressor merits = more time in your aggressor up set (an obvious point, but I see lots of warrior discussions which ignore this), so take it with a grain of salt.

5DA 5Zerk should be bravura only imo.

I've posted this math multiple times, 1 DA will beat out 1berserk+1aggressor. There is 0 reason at all to do 4/3/3. 5/2/2 is a better build, and leaves you with a merit point. I can repeat the math if you really want me to.

As for the "Aggressor merits = more time in aggressor setup", at this point, you're implying that the stats you gain in your aggressor setup is more valuable than the accuracy you gain from aggressor vs uncapped, in which case you should be fulltiming your aggressor setup. So the fact is, your argument here of accounting "more time in aggressor setup" will actually lower the value of aggressor merits vs the math done.

5/5 DA is required if you want to be optimal (for non-double attacking weapons).

It is possible to get +300 fire resist gears with a perfect augment on none rare/ex?

[BerenTebogo]

With barfira and carol you can do it w/o any augments.

If you would, 'cos I can't recall seeing maths on this done by someone who I have faith in to know what they're talking about; can only guess I missed it. Last thing I wanna do is go spreading bad info, and if I'm wrong, I like to know where/why.

I cannot seem to find the link, could someone direct me to where the Salvage dat pack is that changes names for certain mobs.

[Byrthnoth]

I went 5/5 Berserk 5/5 DA on WAR and it served me pretty well, but I never really used WAR outside of merit parties because I was a mage too so I didn't have to worry about those situations. AKA, I didn't need Aggressor merits because I could time my Aggressor up-times to correspond to high-evasion enemies (Lurker/Infiltrator/Skoffin pulls) and could gear so I didn't need it for other times. If I was a Spellcast/windower user, I probably could have made an optimal Aggressor gear macro based on what monster I was fighting and then it would have been a different story though.

Do GM's send POL messages? Got a message earlier and it won't let me open it in FFXI. From GM Harq...(name was cut off). Just wondering if its some RMT scam or not.

Yes, GM's are able to send POL messages.
