Random Question Thread V: But does it 6-hit

[ringthree]

Not sure if this fits the random question theme, but...

There are a couple of posts that I have been looking for on BG, but haven't had any luck finding. These aren't threads, just posts within threads. Was hoping someone would be either more proficient with the search function or might happen to have them bookmarked.

One of them is a List of all the top gear Pld can wear for each elemental resist set. Kind of overkill for most elements, but I remember it was an interesting read and wanted to take another look at it. (Not looking for someone to post elemental resist gear sets, just if anyone could find that original post)

You can get this on keiko's blog (I don't know if he did PLD, but I know he did them for NIN). http://kanican.livejournal.com/

The other thing was a humorous post about a "Wyrm Linkshell", With the idea being FF from the POV of the wyrms. There were bits about everyone calling Guivre 'frenchie', and thoughts about merging shells w/ the sky gods. (Had something about the Smn and Thf being great, but the Pld was a bit slow)

Anyways, any help would be appreciated, thanks!

This was probably lost in the big dump the forum took a few years back.

Is there a way (or 3rd party program out there) to save more than 4 accounts info without having to type it in every time in POL? Really annoyed by this lately.

Would love this also. It's getting annoying as hell to log in guest accounts.

[Skie]

was there ffxi main today or just pol? or in other words are HNM windows gonna restart or no?

[Wulfgang]

Im going to lean towards yes, although I'm not positive. Going to run out and check one Sandworm dead body to confirm.

Sewer Syrup himself should be very simple since he's only 64 - 65 compared to your 66 there. The problem would be the aggro... there are many aggroing bats, other slimes, ghosts and undead dogs near that position.

If you could find somewhere safe to pull him (Bind/Grav + Sneak being useful for this), you should easily be able to kill him with Ichi alone, not to mention that he takes extra damage from magic. Susceptible to Slow/Para too.

You could kill the two bats in the hallway and then do the sneak etc pull to the stone passage leading to the Ronfaure exit... it's not -that- far. I'm not sure how quickly he loses aggro though; I've never tried to kite him.

Thanks for reply, I forgot I posted, I decided I was an idiot and have blm leveled and can just use blm to kill it rofl

STR +4
Attack +5~7
Double Attack+1
Additional Effect: Water Damage +12

Xarcabard (S)
DMG +4
Attack+5~8
Accuracy+4
Additional Effect: Stun +13

Grauberg (S)
DMG +3~6
STR +2~5
Attack +5~8
AGI +1~2
VIT +1~2
Double Attack+1~2
Additional Effect: Disease +5~9
Additional Effect: Earth Damage +13~

Jugner Forest (S)
DMG +3~6
STR +3~4
Attack +5
Additional Effect: Fire Damage +9
Additional Effect: Ice Damage +9
Additional Effect: Silence +5~11
Additional Effect: Disease +7

Uh, what?

I thought the only reason the other zones seemed to have more limited augment ranges is smaller sample sizes than grauberg, which gets spammed due to being virtually retardproof?

Incidentally, that Vit +1~2 is wrong, I have +3 on mine.

Anyone have a link to the Haste versus Accuracy benefit graph? While the choice is usually obvious, gearing on PUP can be...less so.

[saracrow]

Sadly.. I don't remember pet buffs like Whistle or Healing Breeze effecting me when I leveled bst up. Now that I'm soloing as sch/bst, I seem to get a number of buffs from pets that I don't.

Question: Have I simply forgot about beneficial pet buffs benefiting the bst like this, or is this something new?

Quick one I just made. Should be fairly obvious on how to use I'd hope <_< I've only done accuracy %s going up in increments of 1 rather than 0.5 too, though this shouldn't hinder you much.

EDIT: Just to clarify, I've omitted "impossible" results from the line (which is why you don't see accuracy <20% or Haste >80%) or where the result would be 0. Maximum value of y is 5.00.

As far as i can remember "Aoe" buffs enemies can use hit the BST and all Party members, including Whistle, Healing Breeze, etc.

if you're trying to figure exact acc vs haste at give acc/haste, this chart may be more useful.

[Kyte]

Ah thanks, both those charts should be helpful.

Get the two important Animas[intimidate and TP move blocking ones] for everyone at each of them and they are joke now really with decent set-up, though I'd recommend trying to have one or two strong two hours to use on each if possible Astral Flow, Hundred Fists, Mighty Strikes, or etc.

How would the maintenance today affect Eastern Shadow?

[Karbuncle]

You know i just got to thinking, i remember hearing Damage Taken -X% in Physical and magical cap at -50%.

We already know Avatars have -50% DMG Taken naturally, its their well, thing. so, does the stuff from the expansions with "Pet: DMG Taken-10%" bring Avatars to -60% or are they still capped?

just a question that popped into my head, came from me noticing SMN wasn't on Shepherd's Chain, though BST,DRG and PUP are (amongst other wtf jobs)

Pretty sure his window starts immediately after Maintenance is over. Went there once after maintenance a long time ago because I couldn't get a straight answer out of LS people.

Always been like this, the first time I realized Whistle was AoE was when I leveled BST (about 3 years ago).

If you're fighting something and you're on the hatelist, but not on top, and that something casts an aoe on the guy with the most hate, and you get hit too, does it lower your enmity?
