Random Question Thread XI: You're Wrong

[didgist]

Anyone else on Roadrunner ISP getting random POL-0011 since update? Been kicked twice with no connection problems.

Something about PLD is really beginning to piss me off now.

What the hell is the deal, I could fulltime a 315 shield skill set (no merits) if I wanted on an average merit level mob, and block 1/10 attacks. It's like there's not even a point in making an ichi shield skill set, I should just go for interruption down...

Does this have anything to do with the fact I only have 51 agility? (45 in TP set)

Happened to me and several other TimeWarner customers tonight, so... yeah, something's up.

They just did server maintenance so it's likely a problem on their end.

Did anyone test Dia Wand some long time ago, that can verify that it affected defense in any way? I just got one and my test conflicts with what's posted on Wiki discussion. I get absolutely no extra def down at all. Tests where done in brenner, but I doubt it has any impact.

That test was done in 2007. So either the tester did something wrong, it doesn't work on Brenner, or they have changed it since.

Would Tumbler trunks be worth looking into for Tachi: Kaiten? Assuming you (I) don't have Hachiryu pants, and Salvage never held your (my) attention long enough to get the 25 usu pants?

[rog]

Iirc, kaiten doesn't get an atk bonus, so they should be pretty decent. I'm too lazy to do any math right now, but hachiryu should be a fair bit better, but if you you can't afford hachiryu, and are too lazy to get them from the znm, it seems like a decent option.

Yeah i'm currently doing it out of boredom. My first though was sky as well so I guess ill be up there in a few hours. Im hoping further upgrades add a few more stats, but who knows.

Do SMN elementals work? If you have BLM or SCH you might be able to 1shot the Yagudo Elementals in Sauro_s, is a pair of SMNs around K-7. Probably only able to get at 1 SMN in saruta_s (camp at giddeus gate) but the ele is even lower there if you can't 1shot in sauro.

Edit: With resummon timers you'll probably only get 1 ele per smn every 85 seconds, so ~40 kills per smn per day. Neither zone gets light weather.

There are 2 SMN elemental pets in Meriphatuad Mountains [S] near Oz that WHM in my linkshell have used. My understanding is that you need 2 people to be efficient.

Anyone know how much of an increase Aurore Beret gives to Snapshot yet? Judging from the rest of the stats I speculate 4, but it's just speculation.

I think Shadida did some testing on Barbut and concluded that was 3. Perhaps we're looking at a competitor?

[Yugl]

Exit abyssea with 171min, will I return with it all or just 120?

[Cream Soda]

What's the max time u can store? I was told it was 120 mins

[Yugl]

Yes, 120min is max to store I think, but we received 171min through time extensions.

This happened to me a while back.

start > run > cmd > flushdns > log back in

That should fix it. (Unless I was getting a different error message, but I think that's the one I had.)

IIRC I re-entered a few days back with 141 minutes, but I wasn't paying that much attention since I knew it was a ton of time and had 3 more stones on me in case the shout group sucked really bad and didn't get time extensions. Turns out the group sucked and I just logged off instead of waste more time with them. <_<

[Esvedium]

double post <_<;;

Old Mob is Old...

We've never actually killed Dynamis Lord and figure we may as well for the title if nothing else. Especially as Dynamis may become less relevant and we're all 75+.

I'm assuming we go in Kirin-zerg style, with max DD setup, BRDs and its all over pretty quick? Is there any point in the melee subbing NIN in case of an Oblivion Smash or is it all over if it goes off?

Our main shell's best Kirin kill was 39s so I'm confidant we can zerg him and my assumption is we just repeat the same strat with CS stunners.

[Eldelphia]

Bah I didn't see the other post...

[Maguile]

Working towards OAThrice h2h for mnk, but what are the best magian scythes now? Im guessing OAThrice and full damage, but how does the sTP one stack up with a potential 5-hit? And how does Plaga scythe compare?

Anyone?

I was under the impression that the only thing dia wand does it add +1dmg per tick.

[Clash Perez]

What would be one's average number of swings per round if one dual-wielded a normal weapon and a OAThrice, along with 15% Double Attack?
