    Ignoring any coordination, you have a 33% uptime on it anyway. If the cor himself has Wildfire, there's no coordination needed or damage lost to give yourself the +10% (outside of the very first fire shot), since you have a 45 second window to use your QD+WF before you're losing damage (since the charges share a cooldown time or whatever...do 1 shot, it doesn't matter if you use 2nd shot right away or 40 seconds later, it comes back up at the same time either way. Past that, any time you have a rdm CS-nuking, it shouldn't be too much to ask, if a cor is there, to put up the appropriate shot, or any time you're planning to zerg something that includes anyone planning to do elemental damage.

    As a side note, if you have 2 corsairs with said boots, it wouldn't be a very large loss to initially stagger QDs, as long as they use them somewhat on cooldown, to put uptime at ~66%. While I wouldn't sit there and hold TP for it, like you said, there are a lot more practical applications than you are giving credit for.

    If they are casting frequently, that'll work. If your QDs are doing 450, and their spells are doing 2000, you realize that if you have to wait longer than 15-20 seconds, it's a net loss of damage? If their spells are <1500, even at 15 seconds you're losing damage. Just have to be careful with stuff like that...

    I agree with that for the most part, I seriously doubt I'll ever take advantage of it personally outside of double tapping Wildfire. That said, with this being one of two QD bonuses granted by the Navarch gear, having tested it out will make it easier to see if the set bonus adds any extra surprises.

    Edit: A lot of responses between the time I hit reply and finally got around to typing.

    Good point, I didn't consider multiple Cors because I rarely do events in groups of more than 6 lately. Increase that to an ally and you have permanent upkeep for minimal effort, since after you stagger the shots initially you can just shoot every time your timer is up. Not really anything in Abyssea that calls for it atm, but I guess we'll see what happens between now and 99.

    It's simply a tool to make use of if the situation arises. It's really no different than seeing someone use a WS and then closing the SC for your own benefit. No coordination required as you'd use QD when it was up anyway. You already covered the point about using it before any chainspells for added effect.

    Getting the bonus from Wildfire is also another upside and makes stocking Fire Cards once again useful much to my inventories dismay. =(

    Thanks for testing this, I was fairly suspicious as the double tap thing being the only enhancement sounded *very* odd to me. Now to bug my COR friend to finish his feets.

    Not sure if it's been noted anywhere but after obtaining a few of the WHM af3 pieces:

    Orison Cap +1/2: The enhances Divine Veil effect has a Yagrush effect to it. Proc rate is low and it only proc's on the party of the person you cast it on.

    Orison Locket: The Fast Cast seems to be 5% on recast, and i'm assuming 10% casting time. Dropped RR3 recast to 57 seconds naked and /blm.

    Orison Duckbills +1: Not sure what the enhances Auspice is but i can confirm it's def. not duration.

    Both Enspell and Subtle Blow should be fairly easy to test, just get a BST for the latter.

    Also, anyone know what the how the set bonus affects Barspells yet?

    I have absolutely no evidence whatsoever for this, but I'm predicting occasionally nulls damage taken of the element.

    That's not that big of a stretch looking at tier 2 Carols actually.

    Just got my 2nd piece of thf af3+2 tonight so i set out to test it. After 3 hours on Wivre in Grauberg i was able to proc it about 5 times. It is in fact triple dmg on the triple attack hits, but only on the 2nd and 3rd hit, not the main hit. Also appears to only happen on main hand weapon and also appears that when it procs you dont have an offhand swing. I tested with dual warp clubs so that i could watch the animation.

    Hmmm... thats remind me of that 2.4k crit with Masamune that someone noticed. Maybe its double-triple dmg on Zenshin after all and reason some SAMs havent noticed it (Failure for example(I think XD)) its just low proc rate and bad luck or even double dmg proced off zenshin mistaken with ODD aftermath.

    Any idea what "Enhances Spur Effect" on Ferine Ocreae +1 do? I imagine it just raises the amount of STP per hit?

    I did say it could be a low proc-rate, but 10 minutes of swinging with 50% accuracy saw nothing. Either way, the sam one sure seems like garbage to me . . .

    If its double dmg on Zanshin it could proc on nonODD hit and You tho it was ODD proc. Unless you was swinging 50%acc for 10min w/o aftermath up it would be hard to see which is zenshin augment proc and which is ODD aftermath proc unless both would proc on same hit.

    Yes, that would be the proper way to test it, why the fuck would I go waste my time with an ODD aftermath while trying to test zanshin for a 2x proc. I'm also not sure why I'd even weaponskill, or why you assume I even had Masamune equipped. I'm not quite that retarded. I guarantee you it is not a high proc-rate, maybe sometime I'll go out and test it for an hr or something, not really sure I care enough, as it wouldn't change a single thing in how I gear or play, and I'm still annoyed that they keep giving Sams this zanshin bullshit. I can't believe they gave us 2 zanshin bonuses in 1 update.

    I didnt know you was actually testing from what you wrote it sounded more like you did it along the way on some event so Im sorry that I missunderstand you.
    On the other hand you dont really need to get angry so fast XD

    I'm not angry, you just didn't really think about what you posted, and it was pretty retarded. I'm also not sure what event you think I'd have 50% accuracy at, or if you think I'd actually use a blinding potion at an event. It is possible, if it is a <5% chance on Zanshin to do double damage, that every proc I have gotten normally in abyssea, I have confused with a relic proc before, or an ODD proc now, and I've never got them overlapping (roughly 1 in 3000 swings), but ya, my tests were controlled with blinding potions to lower accuracy, and I had no spikes in damage, at all.

    Add "An offer you can't refuse" to the chasm seal quest for BLM COR NIN DRG seals.

    BLM's "Augments Conserve MP" seems to (approximately?) double the damage of nukes at random (when Conserve MP procs?).

    MNK's "Augments Kick Attacks" is reported (by one guy on Alla) to make two-kick rounds possible (at a low %?).

    PLD's "Occasionally Absorb's Damage Taken" works exactly like you might expect, low proc rate similar to the Nocturnus gear.

    All the "Attack Occasionally varies with ____ HP" ones haven't been figured out, as far as I know. (DRK, BST, DRG, PUP)

    RDM's "Augments Composure" increases the duration of spells cast on other players by 10% with Composure up for each piece of the set worn. (current max 20%)

    BRD's "Augments songs" adds a stat bonus associated with the song's element when cast on other players. 2 stat per piece worn past the first. So 4 DEX on March with 2 pieces worn, 4 STR on Minuet, etc.

    That's all that I can remember. Wish I knew what Dancer's did.
