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

[Cream Soda]

Nah, cor and brd are REALLY scarce on this server(brd too). Have only been able to make a meripo twice for example since fairy merged w/ sylph since never anything worthwhile lfp

[Carraway]

I can pull decently and be damn quick on a dark shot, keep rolls up, ect. Just odn't feel like paying to deal dmg for a job I'm just gonna rollwhore at 75 anyways.

I understand going for NQ gear or whatever to be thrifty on a job you don't care about, but this is kind of amazing. You should just leech in an astralburn rather than shit up other people's xp/hr.

[Cream Soda]

The point is saving money. I'm not paying for an astral burn, lol.

Managed to copy a tabula for Tanihwa not exactly what wiki recommended but the essentials are their and its possible for the sword to drop. Also beats farming marbles for the perfect tabula.

I went in solo to fuck about and it carnaged me in seconds lol, any suggestions on set up and number of people needed?

I used six people. Two tanks (PLD or RDM). One Healer/Haster (WHM if your rune can do Petrify through the TP gaze move). One support member (BRD or RDM works). The rest should be nukers (BLM, COR, or SCH).

lol@ the people saying having a rollwhore COR in a party is going to somehow have a meaningful effect on productivity

So, you support people being lazy and not playing their job to the fullest?

Don't think you read what he wrote correctly. Pretty sure he was calling rollwhore onry useless.

[Tsuko_Asura]

No, I don't support being lazy, and I would never play a job that way, but you're all delusional if you actually think it makes a difference.

[Deader2818]

Well, its like saying its ok for a SAM to being using swords or daggers in parties.

Considering you are going to be exping mainly on mobs that are weak to piercing, the extra dmg a cor is going to add while exping will make a difference.

Plus for anything end game, should at least be using ice and earth shots for added potency.

[Tsuko_Asura]

Just to put this idiocy in perspective for you all, you're essentially telling us that any bard that is absolutely on top of their primary duties(pulling, buffing the party, crowd control, dispelling when necessary) but isn't whipping out a dagger to Eviscerate shit to death is in some way having a negative impact on the party's productivity.

I repeat: lol

Are you listening to what you're saying?

A samurai using daggers or swords in a party is the equivalent of a bard solely using Army's Paeon.

[TheTaru]

I don't support being lazy, but the majority of CORs I've levelled with lately have been "trying" have been absolutely retarded anyway. I'd much rather someone keep rolls up and pull, than not keep rolls up, not pull, and mostly just melee with shitty R.acc+ daggers. That's really what most CORs I've partied with do.

As far as I'm concerned, you can go COR/PUP as long as you keep rolls up and pull(or whatever). COR damage pre-slug shot is laughable at best, and isn't particularly amazing later on. If you want to go the extra mile and do your 5% of the party's damage for ~1.5mil worth of ammo on the way to 75 and you can keep rolls up, that's cool too.

[Deader2818]

I don't get how you guys bitch and fight over something that is .01% better then something else, but its ok for a COR to just be lazy as hell and not even equip a gun to do their job. Seriously?

Hell, at least sub mage to help toss some cures or and nas or something.

[Cream Soda]

I can do that, but I'm not pulling w/o /nin. Would actually prefer that. Wouldn't have to buy darts either

There's a difference between wanting to play properly and being delusion enough to believe that silly details like this make a difference.

I want a Armada Hauberk- that doesn't mean I think it will make a difference.

Edit: When a COR has access to 20% haste, Joyeuse, and can do respectable Slug Shots without SV Minuets, its a detriment to EXP when they don't participate in damage. When you're level 60, shit doesn't matter.

does the attack bonus from footwork apply to asuranfists?

[Tsuko_Asura]

Nah

Ridill SAM is actually O.K.

[Narol]

edit: honestly just trying to make it clear to the guy that mnk/thf is nearly useless

Just to reinforce, I even said when I mentioned it that the only thing I even really use MNK/THF for is farming. As in farming Too Weak mobs that can't fight back.

I've heard some justification for MNK/THF versus gods (which hasn't sold me on bringing MNK to gods) but against DI... no just no.

The TP return does!
