Random Question Thread XII: Don't Believe Advanced's Lies

/sch definitely isn't the only sub for rdm, but it's the best for probably 97% of things now.

[Cairthenn]

About as often as Pchan does Dynamis.

In all seriousness, SCH is not the be all end all sub for RDM, but it does outweigh the other options in most situations. If you know what you're doing you should be able to gauge when it isn't the superior choice.

Wouldnt these be decent too and not hard at all to camp?

Very easy to get. Fairly high drop rate and not camped heavily. Window reopens fairly quickly as well.

In all honesty though, the Footwork builds are being somewhat over-hyped. To beat out a strong H2H build, you're going to need both 2-3 times Wargfangs AND Poise Shoes. Neither is incredibly hard to get but it should still be noted. If you have a good H2H build, I'd be surprised if you could surpass it with just Wargfangs and KKs.

Were you always able to roll a busted roll twice?

Example: I roll a bolter's, try for 11 and bust. I wait the minute or random deal my phantom roll back and roll it again. Now I have both the bust from the first bolter's and the bolter's roll. Has it always worked this way? I've seen this with Evoker's too.

[rog]

I believe it has.

[Fereydoon]

Just making sure, for some reason I thought if you busted a roll you couldn't roll that again til the bust wore.

Any idea of re-pop time on Cuelebre?

Fastest I've confirmed personally was 40min but most of the NMs in Abyssea seem to be 30 min to 1 hour.

Last night we killed Khalimari once teleported out, headed back in to be at camp for ToD+30 minutes, and he was already up. We missed the next spawn, but got ToD off another group. 25 minutes after their ToD, he was back up again. 3 Helms, no Necklaces. The heck with this guy!

Trance Belt vs Warwolf Belt

(Think of it like a situation where tanking with earth staff while disengaged, etc. I'm well aware of the TP options for Atonement spamming. Also, I know that once Nierenschutz are discovered it will be what you would want to use in this situation.)

[Fereydoon]

Where to level marksmanship from 151-cap?

Campaign forts in Castle Zhavail (sp) takes you to 276 or more right?

They might, but hard to sitting there shooting at the thing for hours might drive me insane, combined with long gun delay X_X

[tsaroth816]

According to wiki page on doom: "Higher Healing Magic skill might increase the success rate when casting Cursna on an afflicted target."

Any truth to this?

I've seen BRD land it just as often, and they have the skill of a WHM37. I'm going with "no"

[cdgreg]

Anyone have a decent 6-12ish person Dawon strategy? Thanks in advance

input /ra <t>
pause x
exec ra.txt

Alternatively alias ra input /ra <t>; wait x; ra is slightly easier, and does the same thing.

After checking logs it repopped at 32 minutes, for the one we did together.

Yep, since day one.

someone got onto my PC and uninstalled ffxi like a dick... however, all my Screenshots and scripts in the windower folder also vanished along with some of the files in the folder with the launcher_gui. I'm 99.9999% sure they didnt know about windower and even more sure they'd not know to delete scripts for it.... The screenshots that I had saved in "my pictures" are fine, so i'm sure they didnt just do a search for pictures.

Do scripts and screenshots in the windower folder delete themselves when ffxi is un-installed?

Pretty pissed off about losing ~6months of SS (including friend getting a relic) and even more pissed off about having to re-do about 40 scripts... ffxiah only helps so much -.-;;;

Windower is independant from your FFXI install, but the guy probably just deleted the windower folder. Should be able to restore it.
