On Lugarhoo - if you have the quest flagged to get his key item, but someone triggers the Atma to drop - will you get both key items upon killing it, or does one overwrite the other?

You'll get both.

If the stout arm and eve atmas cap str and atk then logically wouldn't aesir mantle be the best back to use right now for tp?

[Yugl]

That depends on what you have access to and current status. Can you use sTP there and gain an X-hit? Can you get haste (DRGFTW)? Do you need ACC? ATT v DA is relevant.

Question
Will esuna will remove a party member paralyze if i'm not paralyzed myself?


WIKI COPY PASTA

* Casting Esuna while Afflatus Misery is activated grants a bonus to the number and variety of enfeebling effects removed.
o Removes up to 2 status ailments with Afflatus Misery active
o Most ailments removed with the spell Erase can only be removed by Esuna with Afflatus Misery active. However, not all status effects requiring Erase need Afflatus Misery; for example, you can remove Flash (Status Effect) without Afflatus Misery up.
+ Esuna cannot remove the effects of Enfeebling Songs, even with Afflatus Misery active.
* In order to remove a status ailment from the party, said ailment must be present on the White Mage casting Esuna. Because of this, Esuna can never be used to remove any status ailment that prevents the White Mage from casting (Silence, Petrify, Stun, Terror, and Sleep).

Trying to keep up with magian weapons all around, looking into something decent/easily doable for DRK GS. In those instances I've been doing either the store TP/WS DMG ones, but I just wanted to check if there was anything I should consider otherwise for great sword. Defense Down looks alright maybe. If I get time/help sometime I may consider doing the WoE empyrean, but for now I just want to keep a relatively decent weapon around just in case.

No it won't. You must have the status effect on yourself to to work with Esuna with or without misery active.

Sobrelame with str/attack would be your best bet. it's fairly easy to attain. Like you said, id go after torcleaver if it truly was doing 3.4k to jailers, but sobre should be a good stopgap till then.

I'd say if one has the means to 6-hit the store TP Kalavejs (not too difficult) that would be a better bet?

Building Macro and spellcast Macro for WHM
Which situation i'm suppose to use or want to use Afflatus Misery?

In an abysea party/nm/farming should i use Misery?

Usefull situation to use ESUNA

I ran some numbers in FFXIcalc, looks like I would need a few extra things to 6-hit the Kalavejs as is. I'm trying not to give up ebody in favor or askar, and I'm planning on hopefully getting ace's sabatons soonish. Without going into specifics I'd be 3 sTP short, would need some combination of atilla's/white tath/fourth mantle, but I'm also anticipating the sTP weapons to go up again next patch soo... that would probably take care of the 3.

The Without being able to 6-hit they're both 7-hit, in which case the STR/Att wins. Not so sure about next patch. Then again the sTP is so easy to do I could do that in a few days if it turns out to be the better of the two later on so, I think I'll start working on the STR. Thanks guys.

misery is great for any situation in which you're standing in range of the tanks, basically, and it looks like it was developed with that in mind. since you're in range, esuna lets you remove debuffs in AoE, and cura/cura2 allow for incredibly mp-efficient cures that recharge quite often since you'll be taking damage.

if you're not standing in AoE you're better off with solace.

They pop after killing the zone-appropriate Ironclad(wandering one, not triggered, in the case of misareaux) and depop 10(?) minutes later if unclaimed. If claimed, they'll depop after a full hate reset. At least, this is my understanding of it. Have confirmed Sippoy was up several times after killing executioner, but not done further testing due to job configuration.

There is either something more to it, or I am missing something. I killed Ironclad Severer in Mis, then immediately checked Kutharei and he wasn't there. We then killed Athames, and Heqet checking him in between both times, and he still wasn't there. Is there some window it can pop or something? Or only a chance they can pop?

Edit: Cleaver now too; Yaanei isn't up either . I checked both immediately after killing the giants, and neither was there. I can see their bodies on radar showing them as being alive, and 100% hp.
