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

[ronin sparthos]

Is it even worth the JA delay to deploy/maneuvers my automaton w/ razed ruin and stringing pummel? My maton parsing like 2.5% in this pt and I'm doing 23% >.>. AH DDs, 2nd place is 13.53% (and i'm lv 76 /sigh)

lol, when I last EXP'd PUP -I just deployed and went to town. It's not worth the JA delay to be setting up maneuvers when between pummel and your DPS the automaton is left in the dust.

The auto still gets it's boon during NMs but in EXP, there is no contest.

since Crit hit caps @ 50% what is the current best atma combo on MNK? RR and GH?

Also what are the top 3 options for for AF Feet/Hands/Legs?

Based on my most recent calculations, RR should be the first atma, and the second atma varies between GH, VV and SA, depending on food and gear and stuff (all three are very close to each other regardless). GH is the best defensive option and VV lets you build up TP between fights while running around, so I'd generally favor one of those over SA.

AF = Ascetic's Fury?

Hands: Heafoc >= BKote >= OKote >= Alky. Heafoc falls behind if your acc starts to drop below cap. The difference between all of them is extremely marginal.
Legs: Hachiryu >= Usukane > Shura >= Tantra +2
Feet: Tantra +2 > Tantra +1 > Usukane

My guess is most people are under acc cap in their fury build's and make their sets loaded with str like it's a 1 hit, acc doesn't matter WS. Motenenten has good pieces listed depending on the rest of the build, but I'd also add Ample Gloves as a very good hands choice, and unless I'm mising something, Agrona's Leggings should be a good foot option.

Atma+cruor buffs gives a minimum of 40 acc. Just sayin'.

[diasetsu]

If you gear out for full str+vit, acc should be between 450-460 race dependant, that doesn't seem capped to me for the higher tier NMs, but maybe we are assuming everyone uses pizza? Or do people gear towards exp, and then use the same set for NMs, because I have always geared for HNM 1st, exp 2nd.

[rog]

use the same set for NMs

lol

What does a good Eva set for thief consist of at 85? I only am really concerned about inside abyssea.

[gaira]

Can just kite around the bridge. Can either Just run, only using dots, until it deaggros, then nuke, or alacrity should probably let you get nukes off without getting hit.

I'm not 100% sure people even know that you can use macros in abyssea.

Solo or group? You can abyseaa it to cap. Might wanna use acc plus sushi at the start.

Depends on job and level too.

[Deader2818]

Ascetic's Fury. How would I gear for it? STR first than VIT than Attack or what? Would I use Genbu's helm or a str helm or something?

Steelshells in Boyada tree? After that you have to move on.

Any tips of lowman Urd, Lampray Lord and Chesma?

If you have a SCH around, we found it made life a lot easier. Spamming buffs etc.

I know you need +29 stp for a 5 hit for SAM including merits. How much stp do I need to have in my ws's to maintain that?

edit: this is with a Keitonotachi +1 that has +10 stp btw.

Does dual wield have a cap?
