Final Magian/Empyreon Armor.

[Karbuncle]

Thread on FFXIAH claims that the AF3 set bonus works like WoTG armor sets, in that the set bonus is granted for every piece beyond the first, and gains potency for each additional piece. Can anyone else verify?

Theres been testing with the RDM Empyreon on the "Augment's Composure" set bonus. Its +10% Duration when casted on OTHER people for 2 and +10 more for each after that (So yeah, Partial Set bonus)

[Kirschy]

Yea I was just wondering if there was verification from anyone else~

I didn't get around to testing it til today, but DRK +1 Feet's [Enhance's "Occult Acumen" effect] changes the MP->TP modifier from .1 to .115 (15% increase)

EDIT: Fixed~

I have 2 pieces of MNK finished(and will likely have the third today/tomorrow), if anyone has any ideas on what to test for augments kick attacks I'd be glad to check it out. Haven't seen anything obvious thus far.

I can't find the thread with newest pdif caps, but highest kick I could produce was 294 crit under capped fstr/pdif(double minuet, meat, berserk tping in full str gear vs mobs in sauromugue). If the cap is 3.25, 354*.11=38 base, 45 af+2 shoes, 8 fstr, seems to line up implying the bonus is not damage.

Ok so if the set bonus stacks like wotg, has anyone by chance yet tested wtf the dnc set's "augments sambas" does? I'm guessing it increases cap for drain/aspir and adds some haste to haste samba, maybe 1% a piece?

I don't know if I personally have the time to ever bother getting the +2 items for myself, university is sucking the life out of me... I wonder if there's anyone on my server willing to sell the ones I need, hmmm...

pdif caps were changed? Last I checked pdif cap for crit was 3.0 /w a 1.00-1.05 random modifier. Also I'm not too good /w MNK stuffs, the AF3+2 shoes are adding 45 base DMG on top of the 38 from base H2H skill?

So +40% buff duration with 5/5 pieces? That's hot. Well I guess we found SE's answer for reducing RDM's workload.

[Tsuko_Asura]

RDM needed a lighter workload?

[Kidnoftle]

Shitty ones do

I do on rdm, so i can afk more during events to watch animal planet.

No, he's saying they didn't. Base damage from skill is 38+3, +45 from the shoes, and +8 from capped fStr is 94 total. 94 * 3.15 = 296, and he observed up to 294. If max pDif went up he would be seeing stuff over 300.

Thorny fails at calculating h2h base dmg and not knowing pDIF cap in one post...
I tho it will never happen XD

[Thorny]

I didn't keep up with pdif cap, I know how h2h skill works: just mentioned relevant stats so people could draw their own conclusions as I was unsure on pdif cap. Shut up and go back to pretending you're a decent player.

[Atoreis]

Man you have a bad day or no sense of humor about yourself.
I respect you and your help but making mistake on not adding +3 after multiplying skill by 0.11 and wrong pdif cap in one post was so not in your style that it was funny.. apparently not for you ^^

I know what the +3 is, I didn't list the total. I said relevant stats for calculating it: +45 on boots and my current h2h skill as well as the base increase from it. The very same post said that I was unsure on new pdif cap, really not sure what you're trying to say.

[Atoreis]

The problem is im not trying to say anything and you taking this to serious. Lets just forget it XD

So, Unkai Haidate +2 is -not- gear haste as people originally expected. It's also not JA haste...it's magic haste.

Insanely easy for anyone to test, so I'm not gonna post a bunch of numbers, but it's definitely magic haste (Unkai Haidate+2 + SV Marchx2 + Haste gave expected recast on reraise with Hasso for capped magic haste + 40/1024 gear haste). Furthermore, before that I did a test that confirmed it wasn't gear haste anyway (it broke the 25% cap), then decided to go further to test if it was magic haste or not.

Just to say things that some people may realize is common sense - means these get less attractive if there's a haste2 or march3 or during a zerg, but I guess it's nice for "normal" shit, especially if we get a little more haste with the next update.

People have internet ego's; it's commonplace. Y SO SRS? face belongs in so many threads.

This post doesn't, but w/e.

Are all of the AF3 "haste" magic haste? It would be a huge nerf to zerging if all the 85+ armor with haste is magic haste, everyone gonna be stuck using LV75 gears during zerg, if it's even viable anymore.

Oh damn I wonder If you will be laughed, crushed to the ground or someone will be patient enough to just explein you your mistake

EDIT: Ok I will try to rescue you before sharks approach :D Its about Enhances "Hasso" effect on legs not Haste+4%

No, actual gear haste is still gear haste...the "Enhances Hasso" on Unkai Haidate though gives an extra 1.5/2.5 % haste (+1/+2), which people thought was gear haste, but turns out to be magic haste.
