Random Question Thread XIV: No Not XIV, XI

Not while using Blinkmenot.

Why would you use blinkmenot on yourself? Not only does it prevent you from blinking out spells (including a mob's knockback ws, which you can't just delete the animation for), it also prevents you from being able to visually ensure you have all the right gear on. Not to mention there's no real benefit to it.

Or i could dat swap the animations and not have to do anything.

But since you guys don't seem to want to help me i'll take my leave. Flame me all you want.

Thanks, i'll do that. You're a lazy fucking moran, who would sacrifice useful tools, like being able to blink to prevent knockback, for absolutely no gain, and is willing to spend more effort trying to find a way around having to spend 2 seconds clicking a button everytime you log in than you would spend clicking that button in a year.

Good riddance.

Not trying to defend the guy, but aren't !! animations tied to your character in the same manner as skillchain animations?

Even though it makes me appear flaky by responding, you bring up something i'd never considered. How does this work exactly? Do you have to hit a gear swap right as you get hit? Does it actually prevent the knockback? Does this help prevent spell interruption in some way?

Are you seriously asking for help after that?

[Darkmagi]

Any mobs besides chigoes that don't give ruby lights in abyssea attowah?

bumping incase this got lost back there.

I'm not gonna let personal insults prevent a (potentially) valuable lesson.

I probably shouldn't, but i can't help myself. I'm too nice

Before you get hit. You need to be in the middle of the gear swap when it hits actually hits you. Yes, it completely prevents the knock back, so you won't get interrupted because of it, if you're casting, though the damage can still possibly interrupt you, if you don't have ss/aquaviel/etc.

Hmm so i guess you'd use this while soloing something? (dot nuke or dot kite?) I don't really use blinkmenot in those situations anyway (More for party use, main healing or doing AoE buffs where hitting a JA will blink me forcing me to untarget myself and cause me to have to retarget). Was wanting a solution that would work no matter which situation i'm in, without having to have some other program running in the background (with the potential to accidentally hit the speedhack button for instance). A plugin version of JA0wait would be ideal. I actually have clipper and play with it occasionally, but usually forget to turn it on until i'm already kiting something (in which case turning off blinkmenot so i blink JAs is easier).

Finding these animations is proving to be a bitch though, so maybe i'll just have to learn to stop caring and love the clipper.

2 questions:

1. are ASA pants worth anything anymore besides a cheap way to get movement speeds?

2. does movement speed gear stack with the movement speed provided by the ASA atma?

They have some uses for dnc iirc, and no it doesn't stack.

Best PDT legs for non-PLDs (AF3), Waltz TP cost-5 is kind of nice, and best haste legs for certain jobs (RDM) off the top of my head, maybe good for pet jobs as well.

Murexes don't give ruby. (And also give azure/amber. pearl drops, but is a non-100% rate)

[Quedari]

Has anyone had an issue with the pax grip triggering an intimidation? That's the only thing I changed about my gear tonight, and I was seeing a lot of intimidation while healing a monk in my group. He used bison steak at least once that I saw, and according to wiki it has Lizard Killer.

How the fuck would you even do that? Are you trying to turn ja0wait on with your eyes closed?

[buddha_masta]

Can skilled RDM/WHM and SAM/NIN 85 duo Genbu with little to no problems? Save time rather than have RDM solo.

[Vincento]

Considering there is a video of a Samurai soloing Genbu, and you are already aware of Rdm's capabilities, should be pretty obvious

In the time it took you to ask that, and wait for a response, you could have just soloed it.

[buddha_masta]

lol k

No mobs gives pearl 100%. Stop making things up.

Rog, I apologize if you have posted it before, but I can't find it.

Did you ever fix 57.dat for Pennant and Animus Augeo?
