Random Question Thread (FFXI Related)

After doing every WSNM WAR can do AND a few nyzul weapons, all I can say is no matter what you think, you're not close yet. XP

Does Economizer (the pup part) have a cooldown? I seem to try to force to use it by keeping up 3 dark maneuvers, and sometimes when it is at like 70mp it still won't use the piece. Seems to do this as of late, and idk how to fix this issue.

Question For DoT on THF. Would Thokcha dex be an appropriate offhand for Rudra's Storm(Twasthar)? or would the STR one outweights it with DoT.

There's no reason to make a DEX Thokcha.

My fiance and I are attempting to duo the remaining story missions (all that we can, we know we'll need a party for some), but what job combos would be best? We need to complete ToAU, WotG, and the Abyssea missions.

WHM or SCH + DD

Should be able to duo everything.
SCH is probably better, since it gives you Embrava for BCNMs that try to give you any lip (Probably none) and Nukes for ToAU Blue Mage fight.

Would DRG/melee be enough or would it need to be something like WAR or SAM?

My BF and I have duo'd a bunch of the outside Aby missions on BLM and BLU. It is a really fun duo with a lot of AoEs and sleeps if needed. He also has all of the heavy DDs and nin, while I have all the mages, so we switch it up when needed, but with most of them, we rarely need to switch.

Guys please help me out on this setence on bgwiki about white procing. http://wiki.bluegartr.com/bg/Dynamis

'Other players in the party may have sub job enabled and be on the hate list and a white proc will still occur.'

Am I correct in interpreting that this means as long as people are fighting the same mob as the dnc/lock therefore sharing the same 'hate list' they can proc white even while subbed?

Thanks! :)

the dnc/lock can still proc white, the other locked members still can not. That is just saying having unlocked players on the hate list will not prevent the locked player from being able to get white.

Okk gotcha so the sentence was towards the dnc not the party member that clear things up. Thanks. Could've been worded better imo.

3 min cooldown. If an attachment has an active effect like that it's safe to assume it has a cooldown.

In which order did evasion, parry, shield block, guard and counter take priority one over the other? I forgot

Evasion checks before parry and guard, don't know about the other two :c

Eeeh, that's the only one I seem to remember too... I thik it was eva>parry>shield and eva>guard>counter but I can't tell for sure anymore. Grazie comunque Seha

For overall decent DoT outside for things like Dyna, etc. Ranged/Ammo slot for THF what's recommended? I have Raider's Boomerang now, but thinking of a Potestas Bomblet instead. Hmm maybe old school acid bolts too? XD

Thought Boomerang was the best ammo\ranged for dot too? 3% DW or so?

Ha! You were/are right. I was like 60 points off. ><

No, but I have been thinking about writing one- sorta. Part of me wants to, the part that is both ocd and enjoys writing these things. The other part of me (the part that doesn't want to share spellcasts because I think people who use it should be able to write their own code!) doesn't want me to take the time to do it. Then I remind myself to stop being a selfish jackarse and just be nice and do it.

I find most of the information through either self-discovery or in some of the more advanced forums and their threads. Occasionally I'll meet someone in game that is really amazing and will share things here and there.

Really, when I think about how complex this game is and all the things there are to do- I wonder how anyone can even remotely complain about lack of content. (Although lack of content and lack of content that over-exposed teenager/young adult user finds remotely interesting are very different things!) Anyway. /end rambling

Yeah, I should have logged in another character and teamed up. I never forget how long it takes until I'm doing the next one and I'm like OMFGITSHOULDHAVEBROKENALREADY. heh.

Would Moonshade beat Volley's accuracy for Slug Shot? I couldn't find useful info about the tp accuracy on the wikis :< maybe someone here has a vague idea and can tell me which to use.

I can't either, but I would imagine so. Not a useful response, but best I can do with no data :P

Any monks know if the augmented Melee cyclas +2 has to remain equipped to reduce formless strike's attack penalty?

Does a sub dnc haste samba only add 2.5% atk speed haste? Thanks :)

5% (50/1024 so actually 4.88%)

From DNC main, each merit is +10/1024 (+0.97%) for a maximum of 9.77% haste.

Iirc, those numbers we have for DNC's Haste Samba (and /DNC) are not actually accurate to the 256th. They're based on FRAPs, I think.
