Random Question Thread V: But does it 6-hit

[Wolfknight]

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

they normally send the special help desk message though, that you check in help desk. Don't they?

Yes, or you log off to POL and that message will pop up without the need to access your pol email.

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

5/3/2 D/B/A here, was 4/3/3 but meh, 10 seconds aggressor vs permanent 1% DA was easy.

What kind of earrings should I be looking at for RNG? This shit confuses me.

[Starr]

I used Hollow+Vision, I had Bushi but never really used it even for WS, there's no real Ranged Attack Earrings unless you get lucky with ACP Augments.

[Villian]

I use Triumph + brutal for store tp. Rajas/Rose Strap/Brutal = +10store tp for 6 hits build obow~.

For BRD, is marduk body/loq/rostrums sufficient for a six song rotation, or do I have to stick with my manteel?

[Haroun]

Assuming Nightingale isn't active, casting time isn't the issue with keeping up a six song rotation, recast time is. Base song recast is 24 sec, technically a six song rotation is doable with a 23 sec recast, but the closer you can get your recast to 16 sec the easier it'll be. Of course it still depends on how quickly you're getting/accepting invites.

[Novalye]

Yeah, assuming I (generally) had nightingale and troubadour up for the rotation. So, with marduk body/loq/rostrums I'll be fine on my recast time, though?

[Haroun]

Aye, Nightingale will reduce the recast enough on its own

EDIT: If you mean to get all six songs up before Troubadour drops, it's really gonna depend on how fast swaps are being done more than anything. You'll have about 12 second leeway between songs. Adding cast time reduction will increase how much spare time you have, but the slowest person will set the pace.

[Novalye]

Great, thanks.

[Aeowin]

The correct answer is to not be a mithra.

How does full Skadi for THF compare to mix-and-match pieces of homam/turban/other stuff?

Wondering if I should bother going for the full set or simply the body/legs.

Full Skadi is absolutely horrid, I'm not sure where or when you'd use the full set. Definately use a mix and match set.

[Aeowin]

Assuming full skadi

it's 5% Haste (not including swift/speed belts) and 5% crit rate

compared to

13% or 14% haste (depending on homam legs or skadi legs) and again not including haste from a belt.

The accuracy is something I'm not even going to try to do because it'll confuse myself in the process of doing it.

But, in my opinion 5% crit rate isn't worth losing around 6-7% haste.

[spider123]

I suspected as much, just wanted some verification.

While I'm here, what about full Morrigan for BLM? Obviously skill+ vs. higher level monsters, but when skill isn't an issue how does it compare?

[Aeowin]

For a full damage set Morrigans wins, but you'll need to swap out pieces for skill + on things like Tiamat.

[spider123]

Ok, thank you muchly. :X

[Nevex]

Actually full morrigan doesn't give you the highest damage, but it does give you the overall best damage/m.acc mix for plain nukes.
You need a +6 INT augmented genie weskit to beat Morrigan's set though.

Morrigan set gives you +25 INT, +15 MAB(including set bonus) and +10 m.acc.

Maat's cap+AUG Genie weskit+HQ zenith mitts+morrigan legs+yigit feet gives you +26 INT, +15 MAB and +6 ele skill.

As you can see it's a pretty negligible difference (roughly 4 m.acc vs 1 INT) and unless you have horrible luck with Salvage going for full Morrigan is usually the best choice.
