Random Question Thread XI: You're Wrong

Maguile, the store TP magian scythe is likely your best option.

Pretty sure the only OA2-3 weapons that are worth using are H2H (w/footwork only) or offhanding the dagger (at least for DNC). Potentially all the one handed OA2-3 are worth using, but I haven't heard anything about any of the two handed ones being useful since you take such a huge hit on base damage.

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?

I haven't seen any tests done on the number of attacks per swing with the OA2-3 weapon, but assuming it's like Soboro it would be 1.9 hits per round from that and pretty much entirely unaffected by DA.

1.15 (Main Hand) + 1.915 (OA2-3) = 3.065 attacks per round

1.15 for first weapon, and assuming 30:50:20 average hits for oa3 magian weapons (not sure if that's right) would be .255+(.575*2)+(.17*3)=1.915. 1.15+1.915=3.065 total attacks per round.

Testing with a couple of Occasionally Attacks 2-3 Times Magian weapons has indicated a 50:30:20 split.

I need a translation of this guy cursing me out! Every line that doesn't start with a : is him.

Thanks!

Tried the link to Keichan's LJ post about pinning Feuerunke in Glacier but it seems to be down.

Anyone have any spots for this they've used or know works?

[Eohuo]

Does anyone have a link to Cure VI testing? Testing on wiki is incomplete and I was wondering if any thread has been lurking around BG for me to favorite. Thankies!

Testing with a couple of Occasionally Attacks 2-3 Times Magian weapons has indicated a 50:30:20 split.

Then with 15% da it'd be 42.5:40.5:17 which is 1.745 hits/round average. With 1.15 from main hand, that's 2.895 hits/round.

Why is my shield block rate so low (about 20%) against lV84 mobs, with 315 shield skill?

I know about Xarc, I'm looking for something in Glacier though. Kanican's LJ makes reference about multiple spots to pin it in Glacier and provides a link to another LJ. Only problem is the link no longer works and the actual positions to pin aren't mentioned

That sucks! Now I have to re-evaluate my dagger choices. The fully upgraded OAT dagger is still worse for TP gain, but it's much better DoT.

Woops, I didn't see Glacier in your post, sorry. :<

Testing with a couple of Occasionally Attacks 2-3 Times Magian weapons has indicated a 50:30:20 split.

Is that only with the h2h weapon w/footwork? Or has this been tested aswell with other OA 2-3 magi weapons? Or is this just an educated guess going based on what the knuckle testing was? Just curious as Ill have to make some adjustments to what I had predicted the 2-3 sword would be against joytoy for pld....

Re: Subtle Blow 50% cap...

Is that the cap from gear, magic/JA, or just the overall flat out cap?

If I'm a MNK with innate 20% Subtle Blow, and I can assume Auspice on everything that matters, will I only need another Subtle Blow +20 to cap it out, or can I wear +50 on top of Auspice/traits/MNK Roll?

[Marcicus]

Anyone want to take a stab at the new rankings of DD from best to worst now that we've hit 80?

edit: in general terms that is

50% total.

[Francisco]

50% total.

Thank you.

Also... Old pic is old, but have at it.
