What's Better?

[Samonez]

Teal Slops or Mahatma Slops for Blue Mage nukes (Regurgiation, Eyes On Me, etc etc etc)

[Draylo]

Just stick with Mahatma slops.

You're asking whether you want 1% haste or 10 acc.... when acc is capped?

Depends on what you're fighting, but you said "acc isnt a problem due to pizza/sushi" so it seems like you made your decision already.

Er, no. He said dagger -skill- is capped, and that it wasn't a problem to -use- pizza/sushi.

I think if you're under 91% hit rate, OHat, otherwise Zeal. Unfortunately I can't really say when you'll be getting close to cap on acc because I'm not sure what you'll be fighting, and various other factors can make things tricky. If you're using sushi, you'll most likely be capped on most level-appropriate stuff. If you're using pizza you -might- be, but it's harder to say for sure (depends more on the mob).

I'd recommend that if you're not sure you're pushing acc cap (basically, almost never missing), stick with OHat. However if you're using pizza or sushi there's pretty good odds that you can use Zeal Cap.

Getting ASA Legs for my RDM and looking at MS+8% and Haste+3%/-PDT4%

Just not sure which would be best? Mostly looking into soloing mobs.

[Chen]

answer is pretty simple depending on:

do the NMs you intend to kill need the movement speed, or get a ton easier with it?

do you have goliard pants and nashira legs as pdt/haste subs?

can always do pdt/MS.

movement speed is pretty gamebreaking, it opens up so much. like if you aggro an enfeeble immune mob, you can just out run them etc, that extra 2-3' space to get your bind/grav off etc.

This may be a silly question, but I better ask than live wondering.

In a 6-hit setup, is it more efficient the high DMG Radennotachi (450 delay, 91 DMG) with pole grip (plus merits, brutal, rajas, usu feet) or a Sword Strap and switch hauby +1 for askar body to maintain 6-hit with lower delay?

Eating pizza +1 and at level 80 acc isn't an issue anymore, I think, and can probably afford to lose the +16 acc from hauby +1 if you are getting TP to WS faster?

Also, wearing the lolkar body would allow to WS in regular gear, no need to get Store TP in gear to WS more than rajas and brutal.

(Please don't kill me for suggesting using Askar Body, just asking! )

Siege Bow or E. bow?

[urat]

For 70 DNC TP: Zeal Cap (ACC/ATK+2 Haste+1%) vs. Optical Hat

Assume capped dagger skill, and +33 ACC/+8% Haste from gear. Using ACC food (Pizza or otherwise) isn't a problem.

You're 5 levels away from walmart turban, so if you have one and not the other just use it, don't both going after either when in 5 levels you're getting the far superior headpiece. If you have both, O hat til you land first step + desperate flourish then swap to Zeal, making sure to macro in O hat for steps/offensive finishes and weaponskills.

For anything highly evasive, NMs etc, O hat period. If you plan on burning dance in one shot to level 80 via mandies DEFINITELY O hat, they're evasive little fucks.

Siege Bow or E. bow?

Definitely Siege Bow.

If it's pizza +1 + haub HQ + pole vs pizza +1 + askar + sword strap, the latter wins, that might change with better attack food, though (like red curry buns)....

[Imoq]

I don't see how can you do that with Sword Strap.

According with FFXICalculator (which I am just starting to use, so, I probably did something wrong), you get 16.9 TP per hit with brutal, rajas, usu feet and askar body (+18 STP). If you WS only in brutal + rajas ( +6 STP) then you gain 15.6 TP for the WS (assuming gekko).

16.9 * 5 = 84.5 + 15.6 = 100.1

Unless I did something wrong?

holy crap, you're right, ignore my first sentence then.
The latter build (korazin/rajas/usu/brutal + pizza +1) would win unless you're eating fancy stuff like red curry buns.

[matix]

im on beasts for a trial, i usually goto ulegerand, sometimes thf's will let me join to get ws kills, but are there any other places that might be worth checking out for me? boyahda? itll either be sam or rng/nin that i go kill on, and usually kc rng is good in ule; side > namas > namas *dead* ill often end up doing too much melee damage on sam(thats why i like kc rng since melee hits does little damage on the way to 100tp, i know i could switch targets and all that, but im just wondering if theres any other spots i overlooked that would be good

edit: yoichi trials, so namas arrow is my ws. etc..

[Karbuncle]

Best bet is probably sticking to Uleg. Range, Nothing really comes close, Tigers, Rabits, and Buffalos all in the beast family, Plenty of mobs.

Can't really think of any places where the mobs wouldn't be too hard to be worth it or over-the-top crowded.

[Don Katsu]

Should I bother getting Vermeil Bhuj if I already have this?

Atlas
DMG:98 Delay 482 STR+6 Attack+20

[Nightfyre]

Can you 6hit the Atlas without significant loss in stats?

[Don Katsu]

Can you 6hit the Atlas without significant loss in stats?

I don't even think I can 6 hit in Vermeil Bhuj....I mean, what would be a good way to determine this?

[Cyprias]

i know this question has been asked a few times now but im still unsure

whats better for YGK Foragers or Smilodon mantle+1?

Fortis mantle.

[Darkmagi]

I don't even think I can 6 hit in Vermeil Bhuj....I mean, what would be a good way to determine this?

What? Did you just level war? But anyways, if you have a rajas you should have a 6hit with vermiel lol. Brutal + rajas + landing at least 2 hits on ws. (Add in one STP for a true 6hit) 6hit Atlas needs at least rose grip and or an STP body(or Hoard ring/Goading belt). Can use a mix of Ecphoria Ring, Atilla earring, White tathlum, etc. for the remaining needed STP pending on gear.

[Atoreis]

I know its very popular topic but once again ... daggers.

I understand this this way:

2-3hit - Dagger useful for events when ppl TP burning and your main role is keep them alive while they are full timing hasso or MNKs are /war.
DA+7% - Very good DPS, WS dagger but lowest tp gain.
OAT - Probably equal dps to da+7%, better TP gain, lower Ws dmg.

I will use DNC mostly for solo,duo,trio,lowman so is 2-3 hit dagger really good option when I see most hurting are TP moves? Is DA+7% so bad dagger for DNC?

Solo tanking: Agi/agi kilas
Duo tanking: auric/fusetto, agi/fusetto (still good tp gain for you and slightly lower for mob) ???
TP burn: Auric/2-3
DMG: Auric/Fusetto? Auric/Dex? auric/STR? da+7%/auric? auric/oat?

Looks like best from multhit path is 2-3 cuz for solo I will use kila/kila anyway. For low man if you care about tp moves and tp gain at the same time Fusetto seems to be good option. Da7% might be best dmg dagger but dnc still spend most time healing or holding tp. OAT seems to be good for everything but not best for anything also.

Damn I have a headache from thinking about it over and over again lol.
