Beside stuff that's been cover your TP ear choices are bad, ideally for soboro want to use 2 of Fowling/Bushi/Hollow/Mineut[Active]/Wyvern[when /drg] since Brutal does a lot less for Soboro than normal weapons.

Quick question...

I just reformatted and am reinstalling everything. I just realized I forgot to write down my PlayOnline ID. The 4letters+4numbers ID. I know all the rest of my info, but I must be getting that part wrong because I can't log in. Is there any simple way to retrieve that ID without talking to a representative and trying to prove the account is mine?

Can BLM75 solo the Valley of Sorrows Elite Training turtle?

Yes, but if it pops resistant to magic your gonna be hurting. Bind sticks for resting, but it will rape you quickly.

If you made a SE ID for a token or the ffxiv beta(and linked your account in the case of the beta), then log into the portal and it will be listed as linked there. If not your gonna have to call/online chat.

I assumed it was soboro, which only needs 11 STP + full merits to have a 6hit(in a normal setup, less with yoichi) and can't reasonably get a 5hit. This means Rajas + hachiman kote are the go-to pieces unless you can maintain the accuracy to use askar body. There's no reason for hachiman feet in this setup, and obviously if you use askar body you don't need kote and vice versa. Rose strap or STP+4 Acc+10 Nuevo in addition to ecphoria ring as second TP ring and rajas/brutal are going to be the best options sans usu body(usu feet are often not even worth the haste sacrifice!).

idk what I've mixed up there, I cant even find Hachiman ft on my mule, meaning I got rid of it, and even throwing numbers on ffxicalc I'm not using it. That should be enkidu ft right now (cheap yes...).

Fuma Sune-Ate are less than 200k on most servers. You're upgrading a second relic for christ's sake.

Believe it or not, not everyone's relics come from abusing leadership, or raping people by abusing their time and pocketing all the currency. >.>

Man, and I was starting to think you were intelligent too.. maybe you should take your attitude back to 2007, at least then you were smart for the times.

I can't wait until you get in an argument with Sath.

As far as upgrades go, I consider Cuchu to be a luxury piece. If you would like to know what I do in game these days, its this: Dynamis, Einherjar, Salvage, ENM's, and just dick around. When I'm sitting on gil from finishing this upgrade, I'll waste it on stupid upgrades like that. But right now, its an epically stupid piece to upgrade considering in no situation for what I do, do I require to drop a 4.6m bomb like that. I don't do HNM's, I dont spend 5 hours every day raping birds in the face, if I do I'll probably use one of my many available sync targets and go to Ronfaure[S] where Cuchu wont even work (atleast after the wave of "COME COLIBRI CAMP WITH NAMAS" tells wear off).

[drwaffles]

I wasn't aware that amassing a whopping 200k inevitably involved abuse of leadership and sodomy.

[NynJa]

It was moreso at the comment about me upgrading a second relic, therefor inferring that I must be swimming in gil.

[Darlantan]

Come on dude.

[Maguile]

If you cant come up with 200k in your own time, you dont deserve a relic, let alone a second one.

Two questions on Double attack procs on multi-hit weapon skills...

I know testing has shown that it can only proc on the first two hits, but is each occurrance independent? Would it be possible for my 4 hit drakesbane to become a 6 hit drakesbane? Or a 7 hit Penta Thrust? Or is it a maximum of one proc between those two hits?

Do these additional hits follow the same WS damage calculation, or is it WS calculation for all base hits + normal melee damage for DA'ed hits?

Every server has their laughingstock relic holders and I guess yours is no exception.

Heya and yes, 4 can become 6. I was always convinced you can have more than 2 hits on multihits but we won't get into that here.

All hits after the first in any given weaponskill are exactly the same: (D + fSTR + WSC) * Pdif (fTP is 1). Doesn't matter whether they're "natural" additionals, double attacks, etc etc. Only thing which we don't know is carried over or not is any accuracy/pdif bonuses which the originals may have. Oh, and crits...

[Thorny]

I'm curious and would like to see proof that only the first 2 hits of a WS can DA. I'd like this proof to have at least a 98% confidence interval, when taking into account the chance of missing additional hits.

Can anyone help me?

I believe only the first hit can DA or TA, the exception being multi hit ws for /nin one handers ( thf etc) where the main and DW hit can be DA and TA. in this case, occurrance of da and TA are dependant because you cannot have more than 8-hit ( cannot have a TA on both main and sub for example); so in your case you can only DA the first hit; i am not 100% sure though.

as for dmg calculations, the dmg on the DA hits is computed just like for any additional hit for your multihit WS: ftp is 1.0 and not modified by sea gorgets, and the WSC are computed just like the first hit, and those hits are subject to store tp just like any hit.

edit: yeah its ftp and 8-hit.

[Raen Ryong]

You can definitely DA more than once on a non-/nin multihit; I've had many many 2x DA Guillotines and such in my time playing DRK, and I don't WS in Homam Corazza

pdif is 1.0

You mean fTP obviously a typo though.

I just regeared my rdm, and now all of my macros aren't working. I only changed the gear part of my macros, but still nothing. Anyone see any errors?

It's located at scripts\rdm\mnd.txt

input /equip back "Rainbow Cape";
input /equip waist "Penitent's Rope";
input /equip hands "Devotee's Mitts";
etc.

and the in-game macro is
/console exec rdm/mnd.txt

I'm not getting an error about not finding the file, so I guess it's in the syntax, but I can't find any errors ;;

Bolded somewhere which might cause troubles, dunno if I'm just being overly pedantic though.
