Random Question Thread XI: You're Wrong

[Ghost_Wheel22]

Is the GA trial for the 514 102 DMG +5 Double Attack Great Axe a top tier choice worth slogging through the ~2100 mobs or likely better to hold off until 80 or 90 cap?

Any Magian > Vali's other than final form of each path ie X50 item drop weapons? (for pure dmg exp and HNM)

Any Magian > Hagun ""? ("")

Coming back to game and though I've looked at all the options and can obviously pick one from what I know of the game I was hoping this has been discussed among the community and a overall conclusion has been made. Hard to figure out in my head high dmg vs oat/2-3x bad with the calcs...

OAT3x weapon's distribution?

Someone said 50:30:20 before for magian weapons.

[Falaras]

So as far as that Mnk vs Sam discussion goes that happened a few pages back, basically OAT Weapon + Footwork pulled Monk ahead, along with capping accuracy at 80, and berserk? I just find it odd that the job gained nothing as far as abilities 75-80 and most people seemed to believe at 75 it was a Salvage Only job, and now I'm reading things like Mnk/nins beating Sam/wars and War/sams.

Any pin spots for tammuz? We have people that could low man it, but we all have to be on jobs for our weapons rather than having evasion tanks and mages.

Also, does anyone know if he has TP regain? I could bring a mule for stona but I'd rather not if we can just QD him down.

MNK/NIN always beat sam and /sam DDs without fulltime hasso DPS wise.

Has anyone ever had POL crash specifically with one character? Can't for the life of me figure out what's been crashing my main on my desktop. Can log onto a mule on the same account, can log onto a separate account, but everytime I log onto my main it crashes. I've used my laptop to verify that my main is fine, but not sure what's been crashing me out.

Nothing much really changed for monk. Most people still think it is salvage only. Most people think dnc is useless. Most people think you need 2 plds to do anything. Most people are idiots. Monk kept up with war and sam just fine before, and it still does.

So at 75 a Mnk/nin was able to keep up with an equally geared War/sam (Rune Chopper or otherwise?) this just seems odd considering how long I've been browsing BG and never seen this. Oh well though.

Utsusemi, Counterstance, Perfect Counter, Third Eye, or some combination of the three

Learn to count..

Why are we saying MNK/NIN in the same breath as WAR/SAM? MNK/WAR + WAR/SAM or MNK/NIN + WAR/NIN.

Anyway, 2H DD's advantage lay mostly in Hasso.

That quote is what I was basing it on. I didn't assume "Without full time hasso" meant "Seigan full time"

No, I certainly wouldn't say that. Mnk/war is up there with war/sam, and mnk/nin beats war/nin. How mnk/war vs war/sam plays out depends heavily on how well you can keep the war alive. If the war can actually full time hasso and tank with his face with berserk+retaliation up they should win. If you don't have the healing power for that, mnk/war will come close while needing far less healing. I would guesstimate mnk/nin is probably around equal to a war/sam fulltiming seigan damage wise, but is obviously way better at tanking.

1.) Is anyone else bothered that, as a result of this thread being locked, it is impossible to correct Kuno on his misuse of "effect"?

2.) Were the stats that Goetia Chain gives ever corrected?

I had a similar problem, it was corrupted dats (that only my main could see, thus crashing)

I did a chkdsk, then ran POL file check

[requim]

What was chkdsk? Check disk function related to FFXI or your OS?

I ran the POL file check for POL and FFXI, but it did not bring up any other files. Was there a simple way to just override everything without uninstalling?

Yeah checkdisk was windows thing because POL couldn't overwrite the corrupted files, so I had to run that 1st.

Marsh Murres are jerks.
