Random Question Thread V: But does it 6-hit

[Byrthnoth]

Similarly, sometimes people claim Virtue stone weapons are 55%. They might genuinely have a different DA rate, or it might just be a test with an insufficient sample size. It's probably the latter, and until it's confirmed otherwise I'm assuming that all "Occasional attacks twice" weapons are 50%. I don't know about the Amoods (I'd assume they must be higher) or the Campaign GA.

Triple Attacking weapons (Ridill, Soboro, etc.) are generally assumed to be 30/50/20 before DA is applied.
Mercurial Sword is something like 20:40:33:6
Mercurial Pole's distribution unknown, but it is confirmed to hit up to 5 times in one attack round.
K-club is supposedly 5:15:25:25:15:10:3:2

It almost looks like it's a shifted distribution that they just expand based on the maximum number of possible attacks.

Heres a quick question, anyone have log data/parse data etc etc proving Macc effects Quick draw?

or a link to a thread here =o?

It does, but not as much as on a weapon that does not also have an "Occ. Att. X times" effect. It appears DA is calculated at a separate part of the equation than "Occ. Att. X times" procs, with OAXT procs being calculated first and if it procs then DA can not proc. Which means that on 50% of your attacks with a Joyeuse DA will not be able to proc. even if it should have gone off. If Brutal Earring is 5% (see above for evidence that it does) and assuming Joyeuse is 50% then you would only see a 2.5% increase in swings because half of the DA procs from Brutal Earring would be ignored because of Joyeuse's OAXT proc.

I'd say its still better than what I am currently using for ear2 slot (cassie).

Right now I've got suppa and cassie, i'll change that to suppa and brutal now. Made a mistake with zilart+cop earring so until i can redo promy+bc i'm gonna go with this combo for cor at least.

If its 11pm in PST, what time is it in EST?



Fuck time zone sorcery -_-;

8 pm assuming you're both on same crap for daylight saving times.

[Thunder]

Think you're doing it backwards. It'd be 2am in EST if it was 11pm PST.

[Tsuko_Asura]

Yeah.. I was about to say, some guy in-game just told me it was 6:30pm PST right now

[Wolfknight]

yea you're right oops

[Cairthenn]

Honestly I thought it was a trick question or something.

Clock (2.3) [Windower.net]

Just use that with EST, PST, and what ever time zone you are in (+ any others you like).

[seiji]

I may be incorrect about this, but I thought max with Justice/Brutal was 3.

I agree with the rest of what you are saying, and I changed the wiki to reflect this.

jailer weapons DA is different from 'occasionnaly attack x times' and can proc on DA (charge item)

[Shinryuu]

Jailer's additional can't proc on DA but both DA and the additional can proc on the normal hit. Two examples: Fort can never go over 3 hits (unless you're a DRK wearing Homam body) but Justice/Joyeuse can do 5 hits total with Brutal earring (2 Joyeuse max, 3 Justice max).

im pretty sure no one has a log data/parse proving it, but when fighting fafnir he normally resists about 1/2 of the QD's i do, with a lucky Warlocks roll, he never resists (this is anecdotal evidence, but without warlocks roll, i never did more than 175 dmg, with warlocks roll i always do my full 330+ depending on day/weather)

Not exactly concrete due to the shortness of the parse and Wizard's Roll randomness but that's a Tiamat I parsed where the only difference between the COR's was one had Warlock's Roll fulltime and one did not. The one who got it fulltime did 3.2k more damage which seems a hell of a lot to chalk up to randomness.

Next time I use COR I'll try parsing again. Probably be hard to convince another COR to not use Warlock's Roll so I'll probably have to gimp myself.


EDIT: Beaten to it. Curse you work.

quick question, do any of the boss chariots, other than LBC, have double attack? despite tanking all of them, i can't really remember, since i counter-tank LAC and BC, so i don't always have a reliable shadow-count. our group has a very talented samurai who is going to start co-tanking w/ me and i want him to be as prepared as possible... thanks!

Thank you, both of you =D

If I were to deactivate my Content ID's this afternoon, would it be effective immediately, or would I be able to log in for the remainder of November?

Fairly sure they all have DA, LBC has zanshin as well which makes it much more obvious on him. SAM tank is better than MNK tank in general for chariots(given proper buffs/debuffs), so if your SAM is very talented then you're not going to have any problems anyway.

Yes, they will be active until the next billing period. Also, if you restart in the middle of the month, you will get charged the same as a whole month.
