Random Question Thread IX: Mathology 101

Anectodal, but I have seen pod 4 pop 1 min after pod 3. It surprised us and killed one or two people causing us to abandon pod 5 in favor of a quick kill.

Then again, this could be what they call cognitive dissonance.. but I'm always watching the timer, I swear!

Where's that guard-leveling guide I once saw somewhere...?

Was it Elmer's vid by any chance?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MP5rA_xZKWU

Granted his is focused on abusing PUP cure-bot, but I'm sure with /DNC or a friend it's just as easy.

I just spam crystal fist IV, it's fast and yields about 950AN per op. I have no doubt there are ones that yield a lot more, but I can do all 7 ops that pile up through the week in like 30-45 minutes.

good to know. was easy enough lol thanks

Is there and EXP penalty or some other roadblock to using campaign ops to level ~30-40ish jobs? Thinking it would be an easy 3k a week on a sub unless there's a reason it doesn't work.

No penalty, I do campaign ops to level my subs all the time~ You get no xp if you use a lv 1-9 job though.

Were they the first 2 pods? First is when it goes to 2 legs, second is when it hits 24%. It's not particularly hard to do that much damage in less than 5 minutes, even with 6-8 people. Personally never seen a <25% pod be more than 10 seconds off of the 5 min repop, and I think I'm pretty attentive.

we've had a pod pop immediately off initial aggro of omega.

going with your theory, to farm the most pods you should take it to 25% asap, wait for a pod, then take it to 24%? and hold it for 25~mins from then for pod farming?

genuinely curious as in our ls we have this debate every omega, although i've stopped limbus with LS and would like to lowman some now

few other questions of my own.

for polearm sam in einherjar assuming minx2/marchx2

assuming minx2/marchx2/x2CORrolls(chaos+other)
sam/war or sam/drg

dia ii would be on most mobs.

finally, how much should i be willing to pay for Z.mitts +1?

What are some good campaign ops for leveling subjobs up?

[Dooom]

Crimson Domino for if your nation controls everywhere; Slaughterhouse for if Beastmen control one of your nation's outdoor zones. Team up with 2 friends, each take a different tier of the Op, and you'll all get exp for each other's op.

Now i know the game can be fickle but, this is just absurd .-., I've hit bad streaks, maybe only getting "Kweh." but i've never gotten "..." 16 times in a row covering such a large radius around the Marked dot.

Gather and have the people that dont want in to DC as you're entering the run.

They wont lose the permit either.

You've only really covered the S, N and SE. If it was right on the edge of the radius in the SW, NW or NE, you wouldn't have got it with that spread.

'Nother question then, If the marker as shown is up on the Top level, can the box spawn down on the Beach? Vice Versa?

Question #1
Is there a way to write a Normal Macro /wait 1.5?
It only seems to work /wait 1 or /wait 2
Maybe i write it wrong?


Question #2
What is the lowest Precastdelay I can use for Provoke
I currently use .3
Precast set ENMITY

[Nitrous24]

You wouldn't set a precast delay.. And the biggest cast delay you'd need is 1.. something like

<if spell="Provoke">
         <equip when="Precast" set="enmity"/>
         <castdelay delay="1"/>
         <equip when="aftercast" set="whatever"/>
</if>
