Random Question Thread X: Fucking 99 Level Cap, How Does it Work?

Go Haste Samba 5/5 first. Then go 5/5 Reverse Flourish, then dick around with the others.

For DDing, Antea (OAT+DMG) would be an upgrade. The +magic accuracy sword is also potentially useful.

If they add more trials, I can see Nobilis (the high damage one) becoming good as well.

Herp derp question, but what's OAT? First time I've seen that acronym. Didn't think I was gone that long, but occasionally I was if I don't know what that means, lol.

occasionally attacks twice, ie Joytoy

[Tobi]

Oh, lol. Finally a Occ atk twice sword that BLU can use. Guess I'll look up the trials needed for Antea tomorrow whenever I log on.

I'd also say that this is worth looking at for dnc, surely? Especially in places like Ein, where the benefits of -eva procs extend to more than just your own party.

I sent some junk to my mule, then remembered I changed it's name after the server merge and it seems whoever has the old name is inactive/doesn't play.

Don't care so much about the stuff, but can I get a GM to clear my delivery box?

couple questions about tanking krab on mnk. i've only done it on blm with pinning, so don't know a lot of the mechanics. from what i could find in the other relevant threads, it said that tanking him was like tanking a chariot, which i'm very used to, but i normally tank in salvage in haste/dd gear.

1) how much -pdt% should i be using, or should i just be swapping it in for mega scissors? i've got the -5% on black belt, which is a given, but full timing arhat's head/body, jelly/patronus is giving up a ton of haste and accuracy, to say nothing of darksteel legs/feet.

2) what kind of food should i be using? tacos/pescatora, or pizza? for that matter, is rabbit pie good for it? i don't know what his evasion is like, especially if i'm giving up acc gear for pdt.

3) should i have any meaningful -mdt% for venom shower, or just eat it and chakra right away? i don't tend to get hit by it on blm. for that matter, what about bubble shower?

4) lastly, how dangerous is counterstance to use on it? i'm guessing i won't be able to, since folks are reporting upwards of 1k mega scissors.

thanks!

Can't you cancel the deliveries yourself, as I get the impression that whoever you sent the stuff to hasn't collected it yet? If they did pick it up then you're boned. If they haven't, just cancel it yourself, no need for a GM.

I'm afraid that if you sent things before the merge you lost them all, items on AH and in Delivery Box are lost during a transfer.

Have woundpatchers in Campaign always buffed Pets?

one just Protect III'd and Shell III'd my Lou Carcolh in Pashow >.>

Is FFXIAH down for everyone else?

yes it is.



now I have a question: Is there any reason for a BLU to ever use a Rune Blade?

I cant ever see why +5 dex would ever outweigh the 4 MP a tic you are losing out on ...

If /NIN and dual wielding weapons:

When doing single hit WS, obviously the offhand is added as part of the damage.

But is the offhand hit's ACC affected by a potential innate ACC Bonus the WS might give, or does not receive the bonus and is based off whatever ACC you have as your WSing?

Actually, do all 1-hit WS have an ACC Bonus? Or are there exceptions?

Wooow, I never knew you could cancel stuff after it was sent/greyed out. Problem solved, thanks!

Pretty sure only the first hit gets an acc bonus, even on a one-hit WS, so double attacks/off hand swings are dependant on your gear. Extra hits do get an acc bonus if the WS has an 'Accuracy varies with TP' modifier like Penta Thrust.

Not all WS have an acc bonus, Sidewinder being one example.

What sub do you prefer for red mage in campaign? Also, does Uriel beat out other weaponskills for red mage (1v1 obviously)? I was thinking /nin to griffinclaw/joyeuse, but having blinks just lowers damage taken > less exp received so maybe not use them just use /nin for the dual wield? Perhaps /blu? Lol clueless taru, so use to whoring out /dnc on tarudin and other jobs, and I'm bored of it!

Couple of pages late but didn't see this answered yet. I go RDM/WHM for free reraises when I don't have my WHM bish or RDM/PLD otherwise (auto-fresh, sentinel, flash, shield mastery etc.). It's pretty much the exact same as going PLD/RDM, keep Phalanx up and if you have Genbu's/Patronus etc. for added bonus you can hold half a dozen to a dozen campaign mobs (pending their type, for example the SAM yags hit a lot harder than others and Orc counterstance can catch you off-guard but I'm sure you know all this already) without problems with Uriel Blade spam.

Crab sushi vs kabobs at lv 55 birds? Idk if the attack is still zomg at that lv in comparison. Polearm on war (maybe gax though to stay keep up on skills)


Edit:

From gear I have available or could buy off AH, this is a build I put together for shit like Ejar, dyna, ect on pizza

http://www.ffxiah.com/item_sets.php?id=156458

Is there a listing of the evasion of various endgame mobs around anywhere? (Mainly various merit mobs and salvage)

[Dooom]

http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/forum.htm...81208115236557

This has the eva/acc needed to cap values of various merit mobs. Haven't seen one for Salvage, though.

Can anyone post or link me to perfect or near perfect Jump and High Jump gear for DRG, thank you.
