Random Question Thread V: But does it 6-hit

[stianzz]

Lately i been messing around FFXI Calculator to see how my bad/good my accuracy is for sam/war. I pretty much figured out how to get good acc on bird since i had their lvl and evasion from a post on KI, but for other enemies in the game im lost. Is there some webpage this is listed?

If not could anyone help me out with the average lvl and evasion of mobs at mamool camp, Salvage, dynamis and limbus?

Thank you

colibris, need 407. the best acc a sam can get with polearm on those is 390 ( full usukane ) at the cost of 2% haste. So it's always better to eat sushi w/e your gear.

MMJ merits, you're good with 420-430, ideally with 450 you cap on all mobs ( mardrigal on lurker).

dynamis, limbus etc, do not need more than 375 ( and its already overkill), except specific NMs/bosses/special limbus floor. Xarcabard you will need more due to blinds and mobs being stronger, I go with 420 ( prolly overkill).

This'll cover merit mobs, not sure if someone's done Salvage/Dynamis/Limbus: http://www.mattrocks.net/matt/ffxi/o...in%20merit.txt

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

I know this, and I still think that the most you can proc on them is 3, but again I could be incorrect.

[ringthree]

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.

Any melee DD subbing SAM or NIN as appropriate can tank a chariot. Experience and expertise factor far more into the equation than job difference. I think it is kind of ridiculous to assert that one job is better than another for tanking chariots.

Time spent casting utsusemi is time spent not meleeing. Third eye is not removed by chariot aoes, while utsusemi is. Comparing the same person on SAM to MNK both decked out, I'll take SAM any day. Arguing SAM vs a different /SAM 2hander is different, but it's very easy to assert that SAM is a better chariot tank than MNK.

agreed with exception of AC since his move wipes TE making sam/war or other DD/sam a pain to tank with him.

The difference is very marginal. If you are making choices based on potential time needed to cast shadows you should be looking at the problems with the player behind the class rather than the differences between the classes. So like I said experience and expertise is far more relevant of a factor.

[Starr]

I thought people used MNKs cus they were better for the start of Salvage (moreso before the beggining chest was there) without weapons.

[Onorgul]

I dunno, when I fight chariots with two Monks, they die faster than with a Monk and a Samurai. Something about the duration of battle being longer than 30 seconds seems to erode that advantage that Samurai think they have. Of course, someone will suggest that I've never had a good Samurai alongside me.

i tank just fine as drk\sam with a war\sam cotank.

monk can counter tank ( meaning only casting Ni), just like sam can seigan tank. You don't have to keep shadows up, if the monk keeps casting utsu then sure he'll lose dmg. But the same applies to a seigan sam that swaps to dmg reduction when shadows go down ( not to mention seigan which itself is a loss in dmg or defender and shit). Also counterstance is both offensive and defensive, a seigan sam will be Mp sponging more than monk. Sure they can tank a chariot, but they are less efficient ( 80% the dmg of a monk);

2x mnk/nin counter tanking is the fastest imo. We tried many combo, mnk/nin+ sam/war and even mnk/war+sam/war. We played a bit on zhayolm boss . Fastest with two monk/nin was 9:30, mnk/nin + sam/war or mnk/nin+sam/drg is ~11min. With bard cut the time by 33%.

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?

It's the unlinking of a credit card to your account that would immediately not allow play.

I don't cast ustusemi, iCounter.

Time spent using third eye is time spent not using hasso.
Using utsu as an excuse is just silly.

I thought Hasso increases the recast on Utsusemi.

[Khajit]

Whoosh?

[Kirschy]

Is currently a way to parse a log file? There are times I forget to parse a fight, and I always have that windower log plugin running~

Are you really comparing an optional JA to giving up 4 seconds of every 20-25 on ichi?

[Tsuko_Asura]

Not that I have the credentials to agree or disagree, but how can you even think of comparing Ichi to Seigen in terms of damage lost?
