Random Question Thread V: But does it 6-hit

[Maurauc]

Just wondering... Anyone reckon two Taru BSTs could take out Lobais for Swift Belt? I know he used to be thought of as the hardest, but I don't know how much easier he is now with the update a while back.

[Andradi]

I think he got neutered pretty hard, the familiar'd eyes should be able to take him down. Might have low Taru HP but that may be my imagination.

If I recall the galka NM gave our group more trouble (horde lullaby spam we weren't prepared for :/).

Hachiryu feet on tarutaru used to be the same model as SAM AF, when did that change? Just noticed today that they actually match Hachiryu now.

Anyone know of an acc calculator that lists pizza for food options? Haven't searched so sorry if it's been talked about before.

Thanks, I only knew of an older one.

Does anyone consider 2boxing soloing?

[Tsuko_Asura]

No

[FailureMidgard]

No

What if you're 2boxing and soloing zip on 1 character, while soloing faust on the other character, and playing both at the same time? That sounds pretty rough tbh.

[Tsuko_Asura]

That would be impressive.

To actually elaborate on the question, its infinitely safer to kill something with dual resources, even if you're operating both characters yourself. For instance, if you were to get a critical bind resist, you have another bind waiting for you instantly. About to eat dirt on one character? Cure-bomb yourself from the other one, etc.

That's not to say that multi-boxing some things isn't pretty awesome, like the guy who six-boxed 90% of CoP

That made me lol

[stewie]

No

What about using your NPC?

Doesn't even have to be that. I'm by no means an extensive soloer, but did some, then did some more with a BLM nearby that could nuke/zone. Just the huge cut to fight duration made it so much easier.

Bumping this from a few days ago.

About to make my Mirke for RNG and would like some extra opinions about my augments. Snapshot is a given, however I cant seem to think of what to choose for my 2nd.

-Racc+10
-Rattack+10
+STP+4
-5 Enmity

TP gear:

Any advice would be appreciated. Im leaning toward STP and dropping my TP feet for relic, would just like extra opinions.

(As the -Enmity is not a DD stat per say, when I use my -enmity set I reach -25 With Osode. Also while salvage gear is not entirely out of the question I am without a group atm.)

steelshells can take u to cap for your weapons.


DEX is acc for melee. Does DEX factor any ACC for WS?

assuming it's non-elemental/ranged ws yes it does, no reason it shouldn't.

Is there any testing or even a general idea of how potent the "Impairs Evasion" effect of Adder Jambiya is? Are we talking about the same as Thalassocrat (which I'm told is -20 evasion)?

Does Daylight Savings fucks with NM timers?

So if an NM died Saturday at 4 PM with a 21-hour repop, window opened at 12 PM today, not 1 PM, right?
