Random Question Thread V: But does it 6-hit

[mallister]

what's an average dmg guillotine hit for on greater colibri with just marches, no chaos roll or minuet?

when i still did no-brd/cor pickup parties, my old average was 850ish, spamming mithkabobs.

I thought mobs could hold their TP, but after a certain percent (30%?) they use TP as soon as it hits 100.

Pretty much every mob in the game uses their TP at 300 from 100% -> 25%, and starts using it at 100 once they reach 24%.

Chances are that someone just casted on it while it was running loose though, seems the most reasonable theory.

I thought mobs could hold their TP, but after a certain percent (30%?) they use TP as soon as it hits 100. Amikiri was rumored to use TP after 5 damaging spells but that never happened with me.

I understand the fight's incredibly boring with only Poison but why risk it? If you're going to feed it TP just get a partner and end it in with chainspell. :/ I used to solo it, I still do if I'm bored enough, but I'd never risk it by feeding TP, I don't even nuke until I know it'll die. Cut time off the clock, what like 10, 15minutes tops?

I've seen 2 bows across 33 kills and I've noticed his TP gain while duoing 15-20 of those with a friend, too bad he's never seen it drop, all mine!

It most definitely takes more than 5 spells for it to get 100 TP. I'm chainspelling on RDM and my buddy uses BLM/NIN (better than another RDM/NIN imo, doesn't have to chainspell) and it's usually only used one TP move about half way through, very rarely has it ever used two, the second when it's nearly dead.

Yeah i know what you mean. Sometimes i am rushing for TV shows. 6 kills so far for me, 4 times with TH4. All i got are some stems/roots and 1 earring.

I have to agree, when I'm scanning for it on RNG I hit it with EES if I'm unable to commit an hour to killing it. Just a love tap.

Keep trying. I was 1/1 which turned into 1/30 on the nose, it's drop rate really is brutal.

At PLD 52, I have a Buckler Earring, but not sure what my other earring should be? Like, optimal choice anyways.

Btw, race is Mithra if that helps any.

I fail at search function so does anyone any links to optimal BLU TP/WS/specific spell sets of gear? I'd like to optimize my alt's BLU more, but I have 0 clue on how to play BLU at all.

I used an +ATK earring until 58, then I swapped to Buckler + Assault I believe.

Spell List: http://www.bluegartr.com/forum/showp...3&postcount=34

TP:http://www.ffxiah.com/item_sets.php?id=125651

WS: http://www.ffxiah.com/item_sets.php?id=125655 (Should be Setanta's Feet now, but FFXI didn't let me enter that)

Big 3: WS Set, but change Gorget to Kubira and Enkidu body to AF Body. If uncapped ACC still, change Enkidu legs to Relic Legs.

That's a basic idea, but until I rework the ACC on TP/WS set, I cannot say for certain if those are *the* best sets. It will also depend on what mob you're facing.

This should at least give you some idea: http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Az...e_to_Blue_Mage

Windower question, for statustimer how would I get the timer numbers off the icons itself.

Nevermind fount it a few pages back.

Use the command "statustimer setposy 75" in your init after statustimer is loaded in your init. If you load it manually you'll have to find a way to put that command in manually to the console after it's loaded.

this, though also should have a hospitaler earring to swap to cures atleast.

Can I win Up in Arms boxing RDM + BLM simply by doing Burst > Sleep > Burst > etc until dead, or will time / sleep resistance be an issue?

I could handle the Grav + Tier II/III kite method, but the aforementioned one is so easy lol.

[Omniyoji]

Of course you can. I've never done it that way but if there is a early wake up or w/e you still have bind/gravity at your disposal. You really don't have to two box Fe'e. Your RDM or BLM can easily solo it.

goodluck~

resist will be an issue past 50%, and mp too

[Cream Soda]

Pchan i see u in this thread.

How does pup do Armed gears?

There any way to make it do the right nuke or will it just pick one randomly?

[pchan]

never fought it on pup

[Cream Soda]

you think I'd have to use scanner?

[Khajit]

I'm not a pup but the closest thing to a scanner i know of is drg af/relic helm. That has been recorded as making the wyvern use WIND breath vs puks.
Scanner might possibly backfire.

Although extremely tedious and boring, I used to 2box doing this with either rdm + blm, or blm 2x. As long as no one screws up, you should be ok. I would do a mix of grav/nuke and sleep/nuke, make sure the rdm nukes timely also.

[Cream Soda]

Wouldn't nuke at all w/ scanner


Tried w/o scanner it was just doing w/e it wanted to
