[Valacirca]

Careful, he might challenge you to Ballista.

I'll never understand how one of the stock responses to criticism is, "I could totally kick your ass in Ballista."

He already did that when I stole his dyna-xarc. Quite inconsiderate really, I was saving them all exp.

Exp and the hour or so they'd spend killing NQ demons for maybe one drop.

Please tell me that WAR had an 'excuse' for using that thing. Cause hearing what it was would totally make the icing on the cake.

He was probably skilling up? Otherwise I am sure he would say "cause I feel like it"

When my merit parties were complete shit, I used to pull out my Mekki Shakki (on mnk) and ignore all the complaints until the party just broke. I half expected my picture to end up on here.

@ Thorny you just happened to find one of the strangest players on Levi pre-merge. He has a very unique style of gimp, and will fight you to believe his ways. An Adolph Gimpler if you will

[Kuishen]

Adolph Gimpler

Either I'm too easily amused or Media is getting more hilarious by the day.

A+.

Sorry Dude/Draylo, I know what's waiting for me when I come back.

Not bad for a 4 hit build, could use a little more acc in non stp slots, but good for campaign

You should try COR/DRG with Detonators at bird camp, its the only way I come Cor to bird parties now. If for some reason the cor doesn't want to engage the mobs, they should at least /rng or /war with a Vulcan's and shoot for tp.

COR/WAR is pretty much always > COR/DRG regardless of weaponskill. That's with a DNC in the party even.

I was never really impressed with COR/WAR but I only used it 2 or 3 times, maybe I will give it another try. Though idk if I want to give up my extra 6% haste.

[Shinryuu]

You use sushi, don't you? And minuets? Berserk should be a straight 18%ish damage then and I don't think /DRG matches that at all. What's your gear?

Edit: I'm a moron, we're talking COR, Chaos it is. Doesn't stack with Berserk, but should still be a decent chunk of damage.

berserk lasts 3mins, and the 2mins it's down you do your evokers/corsair's(if xp)/xxxxxx rolls, so you're doing most of your meleeing etc when berserk is up and you get the most out of it.

I may just be an idiot, which would be no surprise there, but what do you mean by it doesn't stack with berserk? I was leveling Corsair back when I was playing and I never heard anything about that. Or do you mean that all the extra RATTK is not as useful as the haste?

[Chen]

but what do you mean by it doesn't stack with berserk?

not sure what he means either, but berserk & chaos does stack for attack increases, if thats what you're wondering.

[Shinryuu]

Yes, both bonuses work and you add them. What I mean is: they're not multiplicative. %-based attack buffs are based on base attack plus minuets. If you have a 25% Chaos, 25% food w/ 100 cap, and Berserk w/ 300 base attack and 200 from Minuet your total attack is 500(300+200)+125(Chaos, .25*500)+125(Berserk, .25*500)+100(food, .25*500, capped) = 850.

Just a FYI, if they were multiplicative, you'd have 600*1.25*1.25=937.5 attack using the same numbers.

So, Berserk relatively loses its strength when you eat attack food or have Chaos roll on and won't be the straight 18%ish damage I mentioned.

Guy using Evoker's: not in merits you don't
