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

[Byrthnoth]

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.

I haven't actually been able to parse a 0% crit rate with a huge sample size due to gear access. I put Van Pendant on (RDM/WAR) and saw I could still be crit hit, so I assumed there was a 1/128 chance left. Attempted to test with Warrior's Stone and got 0 crits, but lack of Phalanx also made them much lower sample size. More recently, my parse where I broke Spear of Trials on mandies as WAR/DNC with Warrior's Stone on showed monsters had a 0% crit rate, but I only took 600 hits or so. I could have just gotten lucky.

600 hits without a crit at 1/128 crit rate, is only a .9% chance of happening. I guess it's possible though. Any possibility you (or anyone else) could do some more tetsing? It seems really fucking unlikely that 2% on warrior's stone would drop you to 0%, but then 1% dark ring+1% van pendant wouldn't do anything at all.

I expect to try to break Pole of Trials soon enough on WAR/DNC, so that'll be some more sample size.

Unless we could set it to 72 pt. font, sparkle, blink, and open as a pop-up when someone hit the New Thread button, I have little hope that people could magically start knowing how to read.

so...that's not possible?

Searching in Tahrongi thread for Halimede, did not turn up much info. Anyone have info on lowman/solo for Halimede?

[Xerlic]

I farmed it a lot when the cape was 2mil MNK SAM RDM RDM(2box) tho MNK + RDM is probably doable. Make sure the melees get all cruor buffs so Rime Spray only does Frost. When it chainspelled we just kited until it wore off.

What's the command to lock an equipment slot? For example, using spellcast, I idle in Terra's Staff. I want to lock my main slot so I don't go from Joyeuse to Terra's. Thanks.

What's the full list of meds that blue temp chests can replenish? Off the top of my head, I'm guessing Lucid Potion/Ether/Clear Salve I, Catholicon, and Stalwart/Ascetic/Champion Tonics. Wanting to get in the habit of using them more, but don't wanna accidentally blow the higher tier meds.

<action type="equip" when="precast|midcast|aftercast|resting|idle|engaged">
	<main lock="yes" />
	<sub lock="yes" />
	<range lock="yes" />
	<ammo lock="yes" />
</action>

EDIT: Must be placed before you make those swaps anywhere else, for obvious reasons.

What Atma should i be trying to get for SAM?
and what ones for DRG?

[Fereydoon]

What are the best BP Merits for SMN?

<.<a

Beyond pushes Heavenly Strike further than the others. In the end it's whatever you want though. I did HS because ice is usually used anyway. I'll probably go 1/5 on the rest to cover any weaknesses. But at least do one darkness one light aligned one for MBing (however rare).

razed ruin, voracious violet, sanguine scythe.

Voracious Violet, Razed Ruins should be best. Sanguine Scythe, Stout Arm, Ebon Hoof are all nice as well.

Edit: FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU Rog.

[Gun-it]

thanks, RR would really just be buff for drg tho right?

[rog]

Well if you don't have fudo, why are you even using sam?

[GImpers]

//disable main|sub|ammo|range

//enable to unlock?

[rog]

Yes.

Enable with no slot with enable everything (same with disable), or you can specify slots.
