Random Question Thread XIV: No Not XIV, XI

[Thorny]

ok.... which thread would be the best (since aparrently no one here knows) to ask about these animations? (preferably one i don't have to necro)

Look for JA0wait, nobody cares about sch specific animations~

Any suggestions for a good Magian weapon for pup? I have ursine claws +1 but I'm looking for something to benefit the automaton, and I am very versatile frame wise. What will give me the best bang for my buck while using any automaton?

Cheers!

personally i did pet mab ones!can do them in 1-2 days since ice weather is common!i started pet atk ones too,but i'm stucked on the bomb part:fire weather almost doesnt exists,and bombs like to self-destruct a lot the pet acc ones r good too,and now r kinda easier to get since soulflyers r more easily solable!

Some quick tips on getting an Abyssea NM to !! for Atma and seal drops, my group and I are having bad luck and no one really understands it.

They can't proc while a mob is using a ws, or casting.

Question on my end, now. Any mobs around 84-87 near some zone lines? Sick of looking at the my THF's uncapped evasion, but I don't have a pocket healer at my disposal, so things would be more like "live as long as I can then run like a little girl" in terms of skilling.

Is Bale Choker a 100% drop like wiki says? And what low-man setups strats could kill it?

[SteveMc]

They can't proc while a mob is using a ws, or casting.

Can you see the !! if blinking gear, simliar to not seeing a SC after a ws?
Any tips on what WS or spell to use? I got told they change over time so wiki is reliable.
Doing popped NMs in mis btw if that matters.

you will get a message in log. However...i THINK you can proc grellow while the mob is terror'd because 2 days ago we proc'd red on bugard in mis and i casted flare, recasted it again because i wasnt sure and got yellow !! but we only got 1 seal from bugard :<
Edit: first flare didnt give a message.

[SteveMc]

I'm currently on MNK/NIN and our set up is THF SCH BLM RDM we're doing Avalerion and not had a !! at all and I got a message saying it can't cast spells last week from Banish 2 but no !! on screen, shit is confusing.

How stunnable are eccentric eve's extremely bad breath and tainting breath if you're camping your stun macro and not doing anything else?

It's not very hard to stun.

[Thorny]

Tainting is fast enough that you won't want people who lag on it, but otherwise not an issue. EBB is easy to stun.

was talking to ls about the chr/magic evasion. is magic evasion directly tied to resisting a spell, or it missing completly? Is it really worth going for magic evasion rather then mdb? Is chr related to magic evasion at all?

[rog]

Chr helps for resisting songs/charm.

Magic evasion does the opposite of magic accuracy.

[Salodin]

So then it would help resist elemental magic as well

[Aja]

nvm. got it.

No, we actually tested this. We assessed grellow !! early in the fight, found the red !!, then attemped to trigger grellow !! again while it was terror, and it didnt load.

I'm looking to mess around /w MNK again, but I haven't put any effort into the job since the lv 75 cap, so I'm pretti clueless on where to start. It would be Abyssea mostly, so looking for TP/WS sets and which H2H is worth going after~

Tainting Breath is very easy to stun by a blm who's paying attention. EBB can be stunned by a blm who is watching tv at the same time as watching for the move to stun.

However, tainting breath is a self-targetting move. The monster targets itself with the move, not the person with hate. Because of this, only the party with hate will see the ready message in the chat log if your filters are what most people use, the other parties in the alliance won't see "Readies" message. Like Cerb's Magma Hoplon. To see the message no matter what, make sure "Special actions started on/by NPC's" and "Special actions started on/others" are off.

Magic evasion does, yes.
