Wow, SE. Chocobo Jig II? Way to not address any of the problems with the job at all.

The worst part is that an AoE Chocobo Jig wasn't even the most popular stupid suggestion on the official forums.

I'm very much just sitting there going "Hngggggggg!!!!!"

I bet that enhancing equipment (AF feet, AF2 legs) doesn't apply to other players.

To be fair!

It's a lot harder to make something useful to you/me than it is to make something useful to most DNC - especially those that may be returning to the game for Adoulin!

Not editing any other gear choices in my spreadsheet to compensate for their higher delays, I get that Izhiikoh/Aphotic Kukri would be about a 40% DPS increase over Terpsichore/Twashtar.

Well, I can also get a 30-33% DPS increase depending how I push the numbers. Still, though. Waaay superior.

Ignore the fact that I'm on Cor.
Also:
Quote:
Took my Beret, traded it to Benjamien J-10 Western (Inventors)

He offered 3 starting Augments? (Mezzotint Equipment?)
A: Attack +8
B: Ranged Attack +8
C: Evasion +8

So... You trade him the gear, select a path (no item needed for this)
Then it lists on the item [1] -------------
Which I assume means you now need an Airlixer/+1/+2 to receive the augment, of the path you chose.

ItemSet 299121
Single Wield sets go?

The "NQ" R/Ex weapons (like Aphotic Kukri) are obtainable for 30,000 plasma, which means anyone can get them. The HQ versions (like Izhiikoh) will likely come from the big bad Delve bosses and be difficult/impossible to obtain. Thus, most of us will quite possibly be single-wielding for a long time. What will we wear?!

Just tested this with my etoile tights+2 and dancer shoes, and it does apply the extended duration to other players (3mins total).
At least SE implemented it properly and I don't have to worry about leaving my mules in the dust or having to rejig at 2min mark lol.

Yeah, I also tested it this morning and it worked fine. I really wish they had just changed Chocobo Jig so that it's AoE and given us a real JA, though.

I mean, is it somehow unreasonable to have AoE Chocobo Jig at 55, but not at 70? I guess it'll matter when you're traveling to the 6-man XP camps for XP? <_____<

That beats offhanding Twash?

It may have been the easiest to implement stupid suggestion though :/

Can someone verify that the new Manibozho Brais will out DPS Thaumas, assuming one of the augments can be Accuracy?

Up to my 2nd augment on head piece so far:



Got to choose the original path, but the 2nd one and I'm assuming 3rd are static. POL page shows Rank 6 is available, not sure if that's body pieces only or not. Need more Airlixers to find out.

Wait.. I'm a little confused. Why do we have to single wield if using the Aphotic Kukri? Why not just offhand another dagger?

The added delay from the weaker dagger would lead to less damage being done.

Increasing your delay by 85% to increase the base damage of your round by 60% (aassuming you have capped magic haste)

You also don't suffer the TP reduction of DW

For Aphotic Kukri augments, it looks like we get three paths:
Prothescar said:
Type A: Attack primary, Accuracy secondary, STR tertiary
Type B: Accuracy primary, Attack secondary, DEX tertiary
Type C: Evasion primary, Accuracy secondary, AGI tertiary

Progression for Type A (on H2H) so far has been:
zephr said:
1: Att+8
2: Att+8 Acc+4
3: Att+9 Acc+4
4: Att+9 Acc+5
5: Att+10 Acc+5
6: Att+10 Acc+5 Str+1
7: Att+11 Acc+6 Str+2

I am probably going to go Type A, I think. Dancer has no real place in Delve and there's no reason to do other events, though, so maybe I should just not do anything. lolll

Do we know how many Airlixirs it is per rank yet? If not, I'm sure we'll get theintel before long, just couldn't find it skimming the Delve thread yet.

Type B only seems to be useful if you want to add accuracy in where you need it. For the Manibozho Brais, I would probably do Type B for them.
