Gimp/Confused/WTF Player Thread XVII: Keep it Fresh

[jammalamma]

Kogake: 15%
Valor legs: 10%
Resolute Belt: 8%
Muse Tariqah: 10%
Knightly Earring: 9%

For 52% because I forgot the belt and earring. That's a Shield Torque, Willpower is gold.



No shit? He shouldn't be getting hit during Ichi to begin with though, so why the hell not? Yeah I miscounted, the extra 17% makes a decent difference but you're depending on him having SID merits, a SCH, and a COR there. I see neither a SCH nor a COR, though they could be offscreen or behind the tree, but you're making a lot more assumptions as compared to simply inferring it's a shitty hybrid build because he doesn't fully understand SID.

SCH and COR? Lol, you're joking right?

Regardless it's stupid and going with a traditional shield set up would probably serve him a lot better, as you said. But alas, the LS is full of gimps that wipe to everything, so it's not that important of an issue to discuss.

Haste does nothing for casting ichi, it helps recast only.

How do you contradict yourself in a 10 word sentance?

oh

nvm!

[Kamil]

Ichi's recast is already low enough, you're better off with -pdt%, spell interruption or fast cast.

I sorta agree, my ichi and ni sets differ in that ni is all haste/enmity and ichi is valor breeches/af boots/shield torque/buckler earring/haste everything else

[Narol]

It's definitely satisfying when that happens, even though the majority still won't give you the light of day. My jobs at 75 are MNK and BLM -- that's it. The latter participates in whatever the former can't. I've always considered MNK my "main," even though -- after six years of playing -- most would be surprised at my gear set. Despite its mediocrity, I actually know how to use what I have, and out-parse people with significantly better equipment.

Stop having basically my entire FFXI life story.

That happens with about every DD who isn't sam or war and has half a brain.

[NynJa]

..unlike this remark. Haste does nothing for casting ichi, it helps recast only. Go away.

I Hate to agree with pchan, I really really do, but he's right lol
Throwing in Haste gear for Ichi is retarded. You must ridiculously fail if you lose 3 Ichi shadows and 3 Ni Shadows before Ichi is back up, from spell-haste alone.


And seriously, melee only? Get the fuck out. If you're going to be melee only, you better be a fucking pimp melee only.

[FailureMidgard]

Ichi's recast is already low enough, you're better off with -pdt%, spell interruption or fast cast.

If you want to maximize, you can actually do both, and just put haste on manually right before you complete casting.

That, or you're getting -agaed? SW-Serket, etc, etc. Honestly, If you can't name tons of mobs that can do this within a minute or 2, you must be pretty clueless. Not saying zomg haste only/etc, but there's no way it hurts.

This. Shit happens, no reason to not be prepared for that eventuality when there's nothing better to put in that slot.

Waist is that piece with +mp +hp, Lamia Mantle +1, ASA legs with +movement -PDT, Serket Ring, Loq. Earring, all full-timed while I watched him ('cos yes, I did think "someone with that gear CAN'T be that dumb"). It occurs to me now that the sword has a hidden effect of gaining base damage while soloing, but still.

Xmas-tree thfs are ten-a-penny, but ones with Merc Kris and Azoth aren't!

Bazaaring comment made me laugh, as he fled from a lizard he couldn't hit with bloody bolts. Trial dagger, thf knife.

Ring that does not yield. Not taken during Healing Breath either, so helm was being used in place of Turban.

Wish I'd remembered to post this a few days ago during all the QQing over bsts Q_Q

http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/682...0208135751.jpg

Garrison Gloves, Rainbow Cape, Ixion Cloak, Quqrin Sash. Rest should be obvious I think.

As always, I expect QQing because these people are doing FoV, not anything serious, etc. etc., but they all made me scratch my head in "wtf" and so thought I would share.

[Karbuncle]

whats wrong with a DH+1 and whats wrong with TH4?

DH+1 is fine, For Weaponskills.

Theres nothing thats worth giving up 4% haste (Rap), 15 Acc(Homam), or even 11 Acc/6StoreTP(Cobra).

Sure the Subtle Blow is nice but its better stacked, and i don't think you have capped accuracy on any god as a THF even with Sushi. if by some miracle you are at capped accuracy on Gods, Rapparee Harness!



Oh, And nothings wrong with TH4, thats called a joke, since a lot of times people will go "Thiefs knife/Assn Armlets, looks like a good THF To me"

Which is... kinda right but stilll!

Aside from coming /DRK to a sky god and having a pretty minimal HMP set for the couple of equiped items I see I fail to see what is wrong with the whm.

But my main interest goes out to the summoner in the first pic.
Would you happen to be in the position to ask if that summoner happens to also be known as Elementa originally from Seraph?
I think the name Craftermath or CM will ring a bell with a couple more summoners here.

[edit]
Never mind on the WHM!! I need to wait with posting and look at the pics a whee bit better when I'm on a few friday night beers!
