Random Question Thread XIV: No Not XIV, XI

[lolwut]

It's ignoring the attack on the head, but I wouldn't bet on it ever being fixed since Rajas has been borked forever.

Obligatory plea for ffxigear.com to back.

With a DMG88 G.Axe and Eve+RR atma I reached 2800 more than a couple of times in exp PT.

With Vermeil Bhuj Cruor Buffs, Berserk+Agressor Potency Drink and att/acc drink I can average 2300 on RR already so im excited to get these Atma's

[shepardG]

Is Glavoid susceptible to Elegy, Slow, or Paralyze II?

[Regrs]

Do the magian WS dmg weapons work in the off-hand?

Is Glavoid susceptible to Elegy, Slow, or Paralyze II?

Aren't the sandworm family immune to slow/elegy to begin with? At least minhocao was when I did him, not sure why glavoid would be exempt from it.

[Ihina]

Can anyone link me to any real casting time reduction tests (not recast) besides the whm cure casting time test? I have reason to believe that casting time reduction works in tiers for more than just cures. Much appreciated.

Typically, yes they're resistant to Slow and Elegy. Abyssea NMs don't always follow the usual pattern, however, so I was looking to see if by chance they could land on Glavoid.

[Fwahm]

Sometimes, but not always, when I enter an Abyssea, Quickening from Sprinter's shoes is wiped.

Does anyon know why this might be the case?

[Fwahm]

Is it possible to solo Chhir Batti on RDM, if you had someone to train away the Djinn from the pop area?

[seiji]

I could 5-hit a none stp keito when I finish af3 head+1, is why I'm thinking of tossing the other in favour of the +10% dmg, but also some people seem to think we're getting another stp trait at 90 and with the current trend of SE giving us fuck loads of stp on gear, maybe a 4hit will be an option in the future.

Store TP cap (people say there is one, +100%?) make 4hit impossible with <470Delay
might open sword grip 5hit

[arus2001]

If the Hexa Brew spam is any indication, I don't think there's an STP cap when he was getting something like 60 TP returns on WS. Then again, that could be more of a Conserve TP mechanic at work.

[Byrthnoth]

If you look at the log, he got TP with WS+1 attack round every time, which means he was getting >40 TP per club swing. So his WS TP return was probably genuine and not a result of Conserve TP.

[Khajit]

stp atma can probably get around the cap since i had calculated a 4 hit for sam using the +20stp from it using ffxicalc(polearm probably). The problem is there's nothing atm you'd want to lose in exchange for the 20 once you have razed ruin and eve. You dont have to get exactly enough for 4 hit now too thanks to the regain from eve.

First time playing WAR.

Highest I got on my old toon before salvage ban was 37.

Not going to be a career WAR on this new toon, just abyssea'd it to 85 few weeks ago.

Again, not a career WAR. Just want to know what else I can tweak. (bear in mind I only do abyssea)
8/8GA 5/5DEX merits and using VV and RR atma.

Anything I'm doing glaringly wrong?

[Thalandor46]

Tried Revitalization Team for the first time last night. Trio'd BLM BLM BRD against Gumdrop, figuring worst case we could record our progress and take a few rounds to win as we learned about the fight. The fight went fairly well. Got through 2 rounds of ES, so we went for at least 10 minutes. A couple poorly timed grav resists though and we eventually went down. I was the last to die, and as soon as I did, the mob depopped and we got a "You didn't earn a reward" message. Got us all raised, and went to record our progress. Except Sadistiq was nowhere to be found, nor was any NPC for that matter.

Do you have to earn a reward to be able to record your progress? Are you allowed to wipe? What exactly happened that we weren't able to trade our card and record our process?

Also, while we're on the topic, does the person who ordered the maze have to use their own card? Or can Player A order a maze and Player B use their card?

[Devolver]

The -12 attack for using Adler Ring for tp (Mnk and War) too damning for it to be viable?

Brave grip? Also bullwhip is pretty easy to get.

Brave grip? Also bullwhip is pretty easy to get.

10% Native DA
5% Brutal
5% merits
10% Eve
=30%

1.32/1.3 = .015
1.32^2/1.3^2 = 1.7424 / 1.69 = 1.031

1.5% increase on TP damage, 3.1% increase on WS damage from pole

3.5% * .75 = 2.625% tp/ws damage

Don't need bullwhip as I'm already at 26% haste, adding bullwhip pushes it to 28% losing storetp5 and lots of HP.
