Random Question Thread XV: This Is Not The Sticky You're Looking For

You mean besides the fact that you can cap acc without it, 2h dd got a stp ring that generally is useful in lowering thier x hits, AV became "easily" killable and whatnot?

[rog]

Probably has to do with the massive amounts of acc we get from abyssea buffs.

So generally not worth it? When I was last in the game people were just getting to know the visions areas and were EXPing in Prommy areas, so I'm really far behind.
I couldn't get kparser to work but I definitely wasn't capped from eyeballing.

With shit like lvl 85, cruor buffs (especially with furtherance abyssite) and RR atma for example you should have no problem whatsoever capping acc without acc rings

Just got DC'd, can't log back on, POL says I have no active content IDs. I assume this is due to payment problems and registration server maint has picked it up, hence why I can't log on. However, my second character uses the exact same info, and is still on, no problems at all. Can anyone explain this, and furthermore, tell me what I'll need to do to get my main back on once maint ends? My CC is fine, never had any problems with payment before, so IDK why this has happened.

Does red !! make abyssite change from colorful to T3 100%?

I'm currently using a true 5-hit on drk with a maleficence +1. Is this the best scythe to use still, or is there something better now? I haven't seen much decent data on Quietus, so I'm unsure if that would outparse the OAT and be worth making :/

The reports I've seen for quietus indicate it's strong but not amazing like Fudo/Torcleaver, although the ignores defense part should make it handy on hard shit. I'd say OAT would still be a pretty good bet as the best scythe at the moment, not sure why you need a 'true' 5 hit on it, though.

this happened to me recently, your going to have to reactivate your Pol account, and update your credit cards/payment info, then reactivate your characters. some glitch in the system causes them to lose your info during maitnence, so you have to resubmit. (for me vbv also lost my info, so i had to resubmit info there too)

Could i possibly solo Hakutaku @85 dnc? or would i need some support, i'm assuming it'd be a long fight.

Thanks. Put in exactly the same payment info as before and was able to get my content IDs back. Still peeved I DC'd during low-man Amhuluk and lost all my Abyssea time, though. Shit like this can't happen when I'm afk bazaaring!

Can mordant rime put up good numbers, or at least better numbers then evisceration?

[Andradi]

If Razed Ruin atma is present then Evis completely destroys Mordant, if it's not I'd imagine mordant would come somewhat close.

[Aemora]

What are the best BP Merits for SMN?

<.<a

[Byrthnoth]

I'm a fan of Mordant outside of Abyssea. I did most of my daggers on BRD/NIN, so it got plenty of use. Just gear for it properly and it's no big deal.

Edit: Above. At the moment, I'd say go 5/5 Heavenly Strike and open the other ones. Atma of the Beyond kinda kicks the crap out of other Atma options at the moment, and if you're using magic BPs then you're using it.

[rog]

Can you definitely get crit rate taken down to 0%? Did some parses (here) showing ~1% crit rate whether i had -0% crit rate (4 merits), -1%, or -2%, with no significant change.
