Random Question Thread IX: Mathology 101

[Havok]

3/5 or 5/5 Angon depending on whether mobs melt or take some time to kill when you're on DRG.

3/5 Deep Breathing (I like the 10 minute recast) if you solo, some argue for 5/5 here as well.

Put the rest in Empathy and Strafe as you see fit.

My current preferred setup is 5 Angon, 3 Deep Breathing, 2 Strafe - I dislike Empathy because I may need to cancel some buffs to get the right ones to transfer. If I dropped Angon to 3 I'd probably take Strafe to 4. Non-solo I'd go 5 Angon 4 (5) Strafe 1 (0) Empathy or 3 Angon 5 Strafe 2 Empathy.

I just time spirit link right after im hasted, since they're on the same timer. So empathy always transfers haste at least. Giving some buffs is better than nothing though

I like 3 empathy, 1 deep breathing, 5 angon, 1 strafe i guess. I havent maxed that category yet though.

I believe aside from WAR, SAM, PLD, and MNK, all the OAT weapons are currently the best option for damage dealing. WAR and SAM are marginal upgrade (sidegrade?) with DRG's being perhaps better than relic/mythic. Someone else correct me if I am wrong.

OAT dagger is very average for thf, definitely not one of the best daggers.

Strafe is crap, Wyvern Breath Macc, you'd get better returns by capping Deep Breathing I'd think.
Empathy used to be good to have 1-2 merits in as it would transfer buffs in order, so you'd get haste first most of the time for your wyvern. But idk they must have ninja edited it because the buffs you get now seem to be random.
Empathy is a fun toy for transfering Body Boost/Giant's Drink for mad healing breaths.
I'd probably either go angon 5/5 deep beathing 4/5 empathy 1/5 or deep breathing+angon 5/5

maybe something else I'm forgetting???

Elixirs, incase you get cursed at the start.

What does Nagi do now that they changed NIN 2 hour?

[Draylo]

How much does the Vampiris Armor set increase drain and aspir? Wiki says 30%... is this true. ?

[lovehatehero]

So my graphics card is tripping balls when I play FFXI?

Character models vanish, generally laggy. Feels like the old Nvidia issues again... but these drivers should be ok? It started around the time of the last version update I think (haven't played much recently). No hardware changes have been made.

I can post whatever information people may think is necessary but to start:

All 3 are running driver 8.17.11.9621 and claim to be up to date.

Pretty sure it just raises you @ Full HP >.>

I think the guy added it in cause it's been "supposed" to have a +30% effect. As far as I can tell no has done thorough testing and has posted said testing. One reporter said he never saw Aspir break the cap so maybe just better accuracy? Elmer's interesting thread stated the effect was 30%

Use search next time "Vampiric" isn't that ambiguous:

* What's this thing do? Latents/Triggers

* FL Assault ??? appraisal rate

* Enmity testing - Still Going!

Or I could ask in a random question thread, its not like I made a completely new topic. Thanks though.

Is there any possible way to Minimize Windower to System Tray?

Process Manager for Windows

Very nifty program in general, excellent for use at work >.>b

v2.1.920 added keyboard shortcuts as well for quick hiding/minimizing.

I'm looking for the equations or values for the different growth patterns of stats for jobs. For example, A+ Growth for PLD STR, Vit, E for INT, etc... and then the numbers that the growth patterns correspond to the different values at different levels.

Anyone know where I could find this? All I could find was a link to the numbers themselves on the otherwiki.

[Byrthnoth]

Yar >:/ I wish I still had -noth because now I know my exact max Aspir on a few mobs and could test the set pretty completely (if I ever managed to get the Mitts).

I tried using this once and got some really funny answers, so check the values carefully.

[JimBob]

Thanks Omniyoji, couldn't have asked for better

What's a good melee setup for COR/WAR?

Typical dusk/skadi joyeuse setup puts you at like 83% accuracy on birds (with squid sushi).

What's the best way to optimize it?
