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

[Draylo]

I can't really think of many of those fights that are left though. AV will be a joke next update and I don't even use drk much at all.

[rog]

Even with a kc, other jobs can do more damage than drk, and at the very least can come very close quite easily.

[aspekt]

We Zerg to save time. And I was saying Zerg in general. But I guess you are just talking about solely drk Zerg. Then my answer is no too unless the drks have kc.

[Plow]

Even with a kc, other jobs can do more damage than drk, and at the very least can come very close quite easily.

Don't forget that while other zerg options got huge boosts from atmas/cruor/furtherance, DRK got options to approach 5k hp with a prime setup and atmas/cruor/merit. SE hits with 5k hp fucking hurt.

[aspekt]

I guess being a drk with kc I am sort of defending us. But I do think in any zergable situation drk still comes on top. But at the same time for events where regular meleeing also involve drk would get beat by lots other dd.

Really needing to put some work into my WAR, with these new atmas, it's a sexy job but my gear is pretty subpar. What are some easy, time-effecent ways I can upgrade it?

Aside from the obvious finishing magian, ungimp my sub, get blitz for TP instead of lolulthaam's, and upgrade emp to +2s, what should I be working on? Also working on some STP gear to try and 5-hit my axe, and looking at getting Vermeil as a placeholder until I finish magian. I'm mostly concerned about the WS builds.

Can get pretty much anything but Einherjar or ground kings gear, so suggestions from any content are welcome.

[Draylo]

Was a mkris drk, so nothing of value was lost!

[rog]

You don't even have a 6hit with that axe <.<

[TheDirtyHobo]

I eat carbonara the majority of the time, loltaruHP. I do have some more STP gear around for when I need pizza for whatever reason.

[Eldelphia]

I'm beginning to resign myself to the fact that I'm going to have to abycrack my PLD from 51-85 whether I want to or not. Sword/healing/divine skill all capped but what's the best way going to be to cap my shield skill?

[Massimo]

Bring a RDM friend out to Attohwa and aggro a horde of chigoes.

And let's face it, no one has to level PLD. Ever.

Askar body, gorgets, heafocs, timarli, veloce, belenos, all I can think of off the top of my head that's "easy".

Also fuck blitz, you'll be capped soon and wishing you hadn't when they drop back to 10k in a month or 2. Although it's not like gil matters at this point, it might after abyssea.

You should prob do stp axe if you want to put in the effort to get the rest of what you need for 5hit. Otherwise should prob do wsdmg+10%, especially if you cleave a lot.

Been working on my whitemage melee build wondering if it's worth getting Magnus hammer for offhand. Can't get my hands on kclub (no luck, and too cheap to buy one), currently using Deae Gratia (w/ tiphia sting in ammo slot).

Also any tips for Hanuman? Tried WHM MNK MNK and hundred fisting him down (no atma on my monk friends) but a 1-2k spinning claw floored both of them.

[Francisco]

On Hanuman - MNK, WHM, BLM worked just fine for me. Try to stun Magic Fruit if you can... it makes Hanuman go apeshit for a while.

On that NM and the Iku-Turso (the Sea Monk), you'll basically want as many healers as you have melee, because the TP can get a little out of hand fast if you feed it too much...

iirc, the best offhand (not multi hit) was perdu at 75. it seems unlikely that magnus would be better, since dot on whm is pretty insignificant. correct me if I'm wrong though!

[Plow]

Magnus weapons don't proc when you offhand them.

[Gokulo]

Can't find a random complain thread (lolXIV) so I'm gonna make it a question.

How the f*** did S-E suddenly thought I have some unpaid fees amounting to 29$ if I just reactivated after 2 years of not playing, and everything as paid for when I was canceling my account

Damn, was kinda hoping that wasn't the case. Guess I'll stick with deae till I get round to doing OA2/3 TOTM club.

[Plow]

Yeah, it didn't even occur to me that they might not until I checked to see how many stones I had left like 45 minutes into a run and I hadn't used a single one.

[Aleste]

Figure I may as well ask while we're on the subject; I'm really not looking forward to doing the OA2/3 weapons; if by some means I loose the sanity to keep working at it, which of the other TOTM clubs would you recommend (fire path I'd assume?).
