Random Question Thread V: But does it 6-hit

[diemos]

so.

Ideal SAWS and TAWS sets go?

I saw the SA and TA sets thread, and I searched around, if it's already up somewhere can someone linky?

Does any other group get mass D/Cs in Dynamis northlands 3-6 people at a time. POL just closes. Seems to always happen to us in Qufim and Valkrum especially.

Whats the general consensus on Settler's cape?

Hp down macro for a pld.

[Jakson]

Probably been asked millions of times but seeing as evilden's(or however you spell it) has changed their calc i'm confused now :\

How much STP do I need to ws and tp in to maintain 6hit with a 450 delay gkt? 4/5 merits atm

Thanks

(edit: spelling)

Total of 46, so with 4/5 Merits you need 13 more STP. Rajas+Brutal+Usukane would be exactly 13, but you wouldn't be able to swap out feet for WS. Finish STP and you could swap out feet for STR on WS.

I take it the 10ACC is not worth the -10 attack? Atonement spam PLD?

[Jakson]

afaik Atonement can't miss unless some kind of magic shield is up and even then, I think, it shows up as 0 dmg, not sure though.

[Dooom]

Pretty sure he means something like "if most of my damage is coming from atonement not tp, is 10 acc worth losing 10 atk?", rather than using it for atonement.

[Shinryuu]

If you're not hitting for zeroes and your ACC is uncapped I'm fairly sure Settler's would win.

Shows as 0 on Hydra IIRC.

So how does MNK solo Vahzl's ENM? I tried twice, but got knocked away from main orb too often to have Hundred Fists do much. Finally just got annoyed enough to put two merits into polearm on SAM for the easy win, just curious what I was doing wrong. Couldn't put my back to a wall to avoid the knockback since it's in the center of the room.

What's the most efficient way to level as a mage (WHM) in the 50's given current trends? Not including Astralburn.

Atm I'm just getting regular level sync parties and they seem fine. A few friends have suggested Campaign from the 50+ but I tried it once or twice and the xp/hr completely sucked.

Thanks.

Get 6 People together, do 6 Runs. Runs last 30 minutes and give about 6k Exp without Exp Rings on. Very simple, easy exp.

Took my MNK from 43-60 in under a week, 3 hours a day.

Just got to hope theres an Exp Tabula set up on Duplidoc ^^

Just to add to this, pre-75 the runes you want are 3, 14(res), 17, 102, and 108 for V01. I can almost guarantee that there will be at least one of this maze on Duplidoc on your server.

Did they change KV? Cause this on wiki made me lol
"21+ hour NM Spawn from time of death or depop. Will only pop during Earth or Double Earth weather. If Single Earth weather is up, King Vinegarroon will have a 50% chance of popping after 21+ hours have passed. In Double Earth weather, King Vinegarroon will pop after 21+ hours have passed. If no Earth weather occurs after 21 hours, its window will continue until it has been killed or depopped. It can pop even 10+ hours after the original 21+ hour window. "

What's needed for 5 hit with Vali's Bow? I according to some calculator I was using only Rajas and Mekki Shakki were need, but I thought I remembered hearing a long time ago that Skadi legs or ACP body was needed as well.

580 Total delay with Demon Arrows

14.5 + [(Delay - 530) * 3.5 / 470]
= 14.5 + [50*3.5/470]
= 14.5 + 0.3
= 14.8 / hit

5-hit = 20 per hit

20/14.8 = 1.36

So 36 store TP, 21 with /sam

Unless I'm calculating wrong?

Edit: You only need +13 for a 6-hit, if you meant that and accidentally typed 5

Well thanks for the math, but I guess I meant 6hit sorry <_<. The stupid thing I was using had me with 6hit with just Rajas, so I was mistaken. That being said, is Mekki, Rose Strap and Rajas the way to go if I don't have Skadi Legs and to leave ACP body Augmented at RACC/Snapshot?

It's what I would do (I do play rng), other people may have better suggestions *shrug*

Never thought of that, thanks!

I remember reading Homam Cosciales give more haste than advertised, just can't remember exactly how much. Since I'm tweaking my PLD XML, was wondering what the "real" number on spell recast reduction was? 5 (3% Haste, 2% FC), or more/less?

[Nightfyre]

It's a very small difference. Haste is calculated in fractions of 1024; most 3% Haste pieces are 30/1024, or slightly less than 3%. For whatever reason, Homam Cosciales are apparently 34/1024; the Fast Cast is the expected 20/1024.
