Random Question Thread VIII: Wait, There's a Sticky?

[Yugl]

Would it be better for me to go pup? Or would it get hit w/ an aga before i could nuke and deactivate?

Not sure how PUP works. If you have a RDM with you, I would just go MNK since I imagine Chi blasting is less of a hassle and has less stops.

[Killo]

Rdm
Feet: Avocat Feet or Goliard Feet
In HNM Shell so landing spells is key. Ty for help!

[stewie]

Goliard.

[Rocl]

There is no reason to use Avocat if you have Goliard.

[Killo]

kk Thank you.

[Cream Soda]

kk found out the problem w/ my macro. Just changed from 3.41 to 3.42 recently. I took the hook.dll from my old windower and moved it to my new and now the waits are properly waited.

Anyone try any Fay Augment battlefields and find one that was quicker to repeat than Grauberg (S)? It's easy and all but jeez it takes fucking forever to repeat. I don't care if it is slightly harder so long as a strat could be used to get a faster win in.

Ive been told about Vunkerl, Sauro and North Gustaberg but I don't know much about those zones. Any theorycraft or personal experiences to share on the topic? Grauberg is starting to remind me of that hellish Lebros Assault where you beat on walls for AP ._.

i see JPs doing vunkerl a lot. its 4 gigas. have a kiter kite them, and have three DDs kill one by one. 1 brd 1 rdm. the pop point is near the warp iirc. fight was 5min ish iirc.

sorry i do not know about the other BFs but they probably concluded vunkerl was the quickest after extensive research and trials.

I used to hear that casting Slow/Para over and over increased the monster's resistance to those spells even if they didn't land, similar to Gravity resistance. Do people still think that?

I am trying to finish THF and I don't have any experience playing it past 37 really. I want to have competent dmg gear but I won't be putting any dagger merits into it most likely.

Considering this, at 75, would I use Enkidu hands or NQ heca hands for Dancing Edge etc? Also, I don't have Heca feet yet (lol) cause I never do sky anymore, what is my best ws feet substitute?

Thanks.

[Hyriu]

Heca when the WS is stacked, Enkidu's if it isn't. Assuming you'll have to use Sushi.

I figured I'd be using Pizza :s Is sushi better? I honestly have no idea how terrible THF's unmerited accuracy is.

Assuming 276 skill, 75DEX(don't really know) + 9(Rajas/Cuch) and this gear:

Blau(5)/Sirroco/-/Bomblet(6)
Turban/PCC or Love(10ish)/Brutal/Suppa
Rap/Homam(3)/Tore(7)/Rajas
Cuch(5)/Swift(3)/Homam(3)/Homam(6)

Using pizza+1 would bring you to just a bit under 400 accuracy which should be fine for most Salvage things I guess. It really depends on the situation.

[Khajit]

The base dex should be closer to 82 for a hume at least. He can also use a fay augment if he really needs for up to+10 more acc.

[Cream Soda]

Dmg/tic on /mage no native skill bio II?

[Hyriu]

The base dex should be closer to 82 for a hume at least. I was too lazy to check on if that dex you listed was the before or after adding equipment dex as well.

The +9 is from Rajas/Cuch. He's Taru also, so I'm not sure what's the DEX rating for us.

[Cream Soda]

Mithra > hume = galka = taru > elvaan for dex

[Kipling]

Also, should I ever consider Anwig Salade for Dancing Edge? (ws acc+15/str+4, acc+10/attk+5)? Or only Heca cap?

[Khajit]

DO you have skadi/antares/hect body? If no then you could probably use it for that for solo DE. My ws set is around 430 acc without an acc head so you really should calculate what you have and what acc you need before anything else. Any other situation while wsing use the hect cap. It;s only even an issue because you have no merits on dagger and presumably no acc body for ws imo.

[Kipling]

Not atm, but I planned on buying an Antares for WS.
