Random Question Thread VII: I Find Your Lack of Research Disturbing

[Khajit]

hnnnngh how the fuck are you supposed to beat THF Maat when you aren't at 75 :<

each time i've gotten him down to like 33% before i wiped. I've tried doing SA->DE->DE-> flee to entrance and back and melee him down, and I've even stacked SADE and I am still getting mollywopped.

I'm lv68 btw.

Flee is for when he uses PD.use it to kite him around etc.

[Isiolia]

Steal from him each time just in case!

Steal only works if he hasn't beat Maat on any other jobs. If it's for Maat's Cap, then he's gotta beat him up to win.

I'm starting a Dyna shell! I need a website, and I don't want it to suck, but I don't know shit about putting a website together. How should I go about this?

Which would you take less damage from?

Valkyrie's Coat[-4% magic dmg taken] or Dalmy [MDB+5]?

I'm aware of Guildwork from that thread, and yes it sounds awesome and I'd love to use it, but being that it's currently a preview and does not have a set release date, I kinda need something sooner.

I should probably be more specific. I'd like to purchase a domain, put a forum on it and maybe a points engine, and do some customization to it. I don't even know how to get that far. Any advice?

assuming your MDT isn't within 4% of the cap, i think valkyries.

Assuming you don't have shell V (capped - 25%), and you don't have capped (-25%) in other MDT gear, valk coat will win. If you have capped shell V on you, and are already wearing -25% MDT in other slots, dalmy will win (but 5 mdb is barely going to be noticeable regardless).

^ This. I can get him down to about 35%ish each time, and I do kite with flee when he goes into PD mode. I think I'm going to wait until 70 when I get shit like Fire Bomblet and a higher dagger skill to try Maat again.

Anyone have any good pictures of the Paladin Evolith body piece?

@Tonystigma: yes

My Salvage static is doing great in Zhayolm (5f 6f Boss no problem) and SSR but we are very new to Arrapago. Can anyone help with a couple quick questions?

1. Can Rampart Reinforcements be stunned? If so, how would you rate the difficulty of landing stun in time?

2. A very long time ago I saw a post on BG about tanking the Arrapago boss. I wish I could remember the details, but I remember it had tips about when to cast Ichi and when to cast Ni for maximum effectiveness. Can anyone offer any tips on this subject?

If I had to guess, the post might have suggested casting Ichi as soon as a TP move appears in the log, or something like that. Anyway, any tanking tips would be greatly appreciated.

[Hyriu]

I don't know if it can be stunned but for 6F QQs your melees should use their 2hrs on one Rampart each.

[Fottiti]

For all chariots you can begin casting ichi when you see it ready inertia stream or discharge. Save Ni for getting shadows up after Mortal revolution but really there is nothing very different and if you can beat ZR/BR bosses with ease then AR will be no different. AR boss does have higher evasion though and if you are using mnks they probably won't cap accuracy outside of full usu + pizza.

I don't think reinforcements can be stunned (mob always popped anyway after using blade bash) but if you are having issues killing the floor in time then have the brd 2hr songs before porting up, even with each rampart popping 1 tree each it should still be easy to kill well within time limit. Normal practice is to have 1 melee 2hr each rampart to ensure 0 or 1 tree max but it isn't necessary once you've done it a few times.

I just became 5/5 Usukane. I want to use Sword Strap now with Hagun. I have 5/5 merits in Store TP. How much STP do I need outside Usukane? (Rajas & Brutal good enough?)

Yes, Rajas+Brutal is enough...but put away your Usu, and use Dusk/Turban/Byakkos.

I do not have Dusk+1 ... nor do I have +20 ACC from Relic. So I really benefit from the ACC gained from 5/5 Usukane to the point where I think the small haste differential is nothing. I'll be parsing differences over the next while.

Also to be clear I was talking about 6-hit with sword strap.
