So after the 5th amikii bullet this week, I need a new lua lol... I have used one i found in this guid, though i cant remember where. Does anyone have a lua that will hopefully prevent the use of my amikii?

You can hard define the bullet. I took the one from AlanWarren's github where there is
gear.RAbullet = "Decimating Bullet"
gear.QDbullet = "Animikii Bullet"

in the setup and then the sets all have ammo=gear.RAbullet or ammo=gear.QDbullet

there is setup for the MA and WS bullet in there as well, its working quite well for me, doesn't let you use ammo that is not defined.

-- (Original: Motenten / Modified: Arislan)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--[[	Custom Features:

		QuickDraw Selector	Cycle through available primary and secondary shot types,
							and trigger with a single macro
		Haste Detection		Detects current magic haste level and equips corresponding engaged set to
							optimize delay reduction (automatic)
		Haste Mode			Toggles between Haste II and Haste I recieved, used by Haste Detection [WinKey-H]
		Capacity Pts. Mode	Capacity Points Mode Toggle [WinKey-C]
		Reive Detection		Automatically equips Reive bonus gear
		Auto. Lockstyle		Automatically locks specified equipset on file load
--]]


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--[[

	Custom commands:
	
	gs c qd
		Uses the currently configured shot on the target, with either <t> or <stnpc> depending on setting.

	gs c qd t
		Uses the currently configured shot on the target, but forces use of <t>.
	
	
	Configuration commands:
	
	gs c cycle mainqd
		Cycles through the available steps to use as the primary shot when using one of the above commands.
		
	gs c cycle altqd
		Cycles through the available steps to use for alternating with the configured main shot.
		
	gs c toggle usealtqd
		Toggles whether or not to use an alternate shot.
		
	gs c toggle selectqdtarget
		Toggles whether or not to use <stnpc> (as opposed to <t>) when using a shot.
		
		
	gs c toggle LuzafRing -- Toggles use of Luzaf Ring on and off
	
	Offense mode is melee or ranged.  Used ranged offense mode if you are engaged
	for ranged weaponskills, but not actually meleeing.
	
	Weaponskill mode, if set to 'Normal', is handled separately for melee and ranged weaponskills.

With shooting coming back into play lately, AG Arma is exceptionally powerful. The ranged TP phase with ODT provides absurd numbers, especially in combination with Triple Shot. The ammo provided from the gun also provides some excellent ranged accuracy compared to other options. The 50 base AGI and increase in skill also provides much higher racc in comparison to Fomalhaut, our other best option for physical damage.

Death Penalty is my absolute favorite RMEA weapon I've built. The huge boost to Leaden through the hidden effect and the ridiculously strong bullets is amazing. If you're doing a lot of darkness-based magic setups, it's utterly amazing. With good gear and Tenebrae Gambit, you'll easily hit capped Leaden and SC damage while also providing additional support for your BLMs.

Both weapons are excellent in different situations. I spend more time doing magic setups, so I have a preference towards Death Penalty. However, I've put a lot of effort into ranged setups lately, so Armageddon is my new project.

Agreed on that, for the strategy COR is often DDing for, DP is irreplaceable and unbeatable. But Arma works in all situations (save melee TP + Savage usage) which is why I say it's the overall gun. DP strengthens COR's biggest strength, but it offers nothing on anything resistant to dark. Arma is 2nd best for Leaden, for Last Stand, best for WF, it is always usable.

That said, a serious COR will get all the guns for the bullets alone. I guess I need to get serious at some point.

I just finished my AG Armageddon this week, and I love it.

Another thing that was a strong consideration for me, which pushed me to complete it, is that Arma is an excellent gun for two jobs. Much like COR, for RNG Arma is also a great all around weapon - insane AM3 damage, great Racc, good for all of each job's marksmanship WS (best WF, 2nd best Leaden/Trueflight, 2nd best Last Stand), etc.

So if you want a lot of utility for both jobs, Arma is really tempting. And if the meta shifts more toward pew pew as it seems things might be going, the sheer power from ranged attacking under Empy AM3 makes Arma a reeeealy compelling choice for that kind of use case.

Arma is seriously a good gun and i was considering getting it just for the ranged goodness however it really depends on how you use your Cor most, DP is seriously unparalleled for magic dmg not just with Salute but also the bonus to QD is outstanding (i've hit 15kish with single shot with Geo).

in the end it really comes down to what you want for cor: DP = mage setups (mostly) , Arma = Best Racc and shooting with AM3 up, Forma = best phys bullets + SC potency + IIRC beats Arma on last stand w/o AM3 up.

Forma is likely easiest gun to make
DP is somewhat tedious but not too bad
Arma is mostly just spending a lot of money (unless you farm it all, and IMO makes it the worst quest of the 3)

I'll start out by saying all 3 guns are amazing and Eightball and others outlined them nicely but...

I think if you're making only one gun Aeonic is the way to go.
Its doesn't have quite the R.Acc of Arma but has more DMG + DMG bullets.

Keeping AM3 up on ARMA isn't the easist thing to do and to do so you have to use wildfire which is pretty crappy on most mobs. Compared to the 3 Leadens or Last Stands you're shooting off at 1750 in the same time frame to build 3k TP. Of-course void if its a fight you get to start 3k TP with.

Having Last Stand have the Light property is huge.

Its beats Arma and DP at lower TP Leaden spams. Edit: Sorry was a mistake when I was entering custom values.
I think you get a great all around gun with it. Great for physical and magical.

I will definitely support Fomalhaut's change to Last Stand's SC properties being absolutely huge on it. High base damage, 500 TP bonus, and the bullets make it a ridiculously strong Last Stand gun.

However, I need to take issue with the Leaden Salute statement. Could you share what buffs you're getting or what mobs you're fighting to make Fomalhaut beat DP for low TP Leaden? I've always seen consistently lower Leaden damage through using Fomalhaut than my DP.

Testing on the piddly little Mandies in Ceizak, I'm getting 20174 with DP and 18583 with Fomalhaut at exactly 1k . Damage difference only increases as TP rises.

ItemSet 336634

This is my current set.
-30 AGI/20 macc + mdmg/10 WSD cape
-33 macc/34MAB legs
-19 macc/29 MAB/4WSD feet
-Capped Samnuha
-MAB/TP bonus Moonshade
-Carmine path D

No buffs outside of Tactician's for exact TP values.

If you could share your findings, I'd appreciate it

@Oraen - I typo'd when entering customs values it (Aeonic) doesn't win even at 1k spam. On a target close to a mandy I don't have it pulling ahead nearly that much at 1k (1250DP) vs (1750 fom). Is that test of yours /war for another 200 tp bonus by chance?


Edit: BTW since this got me to look into what Afania said about /war not giving Fencer bonus in the spreadsheet... Its does but atm its set for TP Bonus: 20 and Crit rate 5%. Should be 200 and crit 3% for fencer 1 guess the TP Bonus part is left over from the old system.

Worth it or not is subjective. I love mine, since it's my first REMA years ago so there's huge emotional attachment. But I also have heard many, many people said Arma is the least useful COR REMA compare with dp and fomalhaut. And I can't say I totally disagree with them, here is why.

1) Arma is still the best gun for WF, but WF is not nearly as game changing as leaden in mage setup due to the lack of fire MB synergy. There are many NM in this game that prefers fire damage, such as escha ru'aun T3s, Vinipata, zerde, Carousing Celine etc. Most people just use BLM and fire MB them instead of use COR and WF them to death. Although you can still use a COR in BLM fire MB setup , you can't have WF close fusion/light for BLM to MB fire, unlike leaden which can fit into death MBs much better.

In other words, in fire MB setup COR can only occasionally WF between SCs, and that cuts down COR's output in fire MB, unlike salute can do a lot more in death MB setups.

WF is also a mathematically weaker ws than leaden. But it SC with itself, with a strong SC gear/buff and fire shot boosts, WF spam at 1k tp still has potential to beat leaden spam with dp assuming the NM doesn't have special elemental resistance. The issue is just that nobody make a party of COR and RNG WF stuff to death when fire dmg is required. Everyone just BLM SCH 24/7. And if they DO take a ranged job for fire dmg, they do RNG with trueflight(which can close SC for fire) anyways.


2) It's the best /ra gun on paper with AM3 up if we don't consider SC, on my spreadsheet it's around 500+ dps ahead of Fomalhaut at capped pdif using AM3 up set I posted on last page. This is more than many people thinks and I think many people who screams "Fomalhaut!" in ranged dps situations definitely underestimated Arma's /ra dps.

That being said, in real FFXI most ranged content doesn't favor AM3 at all. AFAIK ppl only use ranged setup in master trials, ambuscade, UNM pw2 and if I remember correctly, you can't start at 3k in all of those content. (popping UNM removes tp, no?)

So while arma COR slowly built tp for Am3, Fomalhaut COR can tp > ws > tp > ws SC and do considerable dmg. That's not to mention there's always risk of dying in those content, and every time an arma COR die with AM3 up, it's more dps lose than Fomalhaut.

Escha favors Arma the most, since you can start with AM3 then use wings for another AM3 when it wears. But nobody use /ra setup in Escha.

3) It has the highest racc, but if your pt leader can accommodate your racc needs with buffs, then it's no longer an advantage. According to Comeatmebro, it's still possible to cap racc in master trials with Fomalhaut.

4) Out of all the REMA bullets, bullets from arma is the least game changing one. Unless you're somehow on dispel/sleep duty on COR, which isn't very practical due to recast.

5) I'm probably going to agree with Chiaia that if you only want 1 gun on COR, Fomalhaut is a more versatile weapon and probably worth the effort more. Fomalhaut's ability to SC is very game changing, and it's 2nd best for leaden, best for last stand, and doesn't require AM3 to ra dps well. In situations that you need wf you can always swap to woc gun or something if fomalhaut is all you have.

----------
That being said, if you really like the job, you'd still get one, since you never know when will SE release new content that strongly favors Arma. There are situations that still needs it. WF is still great for lowman if you don't SCH all things like others, and extra ra dps from WF spamming and needing less racc support makes Arma No.1 choice if you lowman content that's weak against fire.

I post this in Chiaia's thread months ago but I'd like to iterate how strong WF could be with gambit:



You can probably do capped wf dmg with any gun and still cap racc on T3 since evasion is nerfed now. But pre evasion nerf it's rather satisfying to solo DD those T3 down in 1-2 min on COR with just GEO buffs, when everyone else were "BLM SCH onry".

Arma really, really shines in lowman, none melee friendly content that favors fire dmg, and needs moderate amount of racc to hit.

Nah, you keep TP on pop in unity its liek escha geo loses bubbles through.

1) Arma is still the best gun for WF, but WF is not nearly as game changing as leaden in mage setup

I wouldn't discount Arma being a strong alternative for Leaden (and Trueflight). If you're only going to make one gun, there's something to be said for that. Arma/Fomal both have more flexibility than DP across a wider variety of situations.

Quote:
2) It's the best /ra gun on paper with AM3 up if we don't consider SC, on my spreadsheet it's around 500+ dps ahead of Fomalhaut at capped pdif using AM3 up set I posted on last page. This is more than many people thinks and I think many people who screams "Fomalhaut!" in ranged dps situations definitely underestimated Arma's /ra dps.

That being said, in real FFXI most ranged content doesn't favor AM3 at all. AFAIK ppl only use ranged setup in master trials, ambuscade, UNM pw2 and if I remember correctly, you can't start at 3k in all of those content. (popping UNM removes tp, no?)

Popping UNM does not remove TP, so Arma (or DP) are not at much of a disadvantage there. But this is a worthy consideration, and it's going to depend on what content you're doing and how future content is developed. For stuff like Omen it's pretty easy to plan ahead for boss floors so you can start a boss with 3000tp, for popped NMs starting with tp is not an issue, so really it's just an issue in instanced content that wipes tp on entry.

The interesting thing to watch for is whether ranged TP strats start making a comeback, in which case Arma and Fomal will shine more.

3) It has the highest racc, but if your pt leader can accommodate your racc needs with buffs, then it's no longer an advantage. According to Comeatmebro, it's still possible to cap racc in master trials with Fomalhaut.

Having the most Racc is still a very useful trait, and might allow you to not need max Racc buffs. From a COR perspective, consider that if you're in a party with RNGs you will likely be the low man in terms of Racc (compared to RNG's higher native racc traits, sharpshot, and some gear differences), so it might be more important for you to make up a gap to keep the needed buffs relatively even across party members.

Also very relevant that crit damage with Empy AM3 up is utterly ridiculous, so having some extra Racc is a very nice luxury that enables you to swap some of it out for a more crit focused ranged set.

Can someone point me to Leaden comparison between Arma and Fomal (or a relatively current spreadsheet that I seem to be overlooking if it's posted)? Obviously DP is best, but for 2nd place is it really the case that AGI+50 loses out to TP Bonus? If so, I can't imagine it's by much.

You can really spin these kinds of advantages for each gun:

DP is best for Leaden and QD, though falls behind for Last Stand and /ra

Armageddon is best for pure /ra damage, best for WF, very good for all WS thanks to huge chunk of AGI.

Fomalhaut is best for Last Stand, very good for all WS thanks to TP Bonus, good for /ra. Unique SC property and ease of use without having to worry about Mythic/Empy AM is a very nice bonus. Aeonics are not necessarily as attainable for everyone, so the barrier to entry may be lower for Mythic/Empy.

Fomalhaut and Armageddon both have the advantage of being usable on COR and RNG, so for those who want that added flexibility that's a pretty significant point.

EDIT: something that kinda tickles me, for the LONG time CORs out there... this is a little reminiscent of COR and the common "big 3" guns circa 2006-2007. Coffinmaker as the ranged/all arounder gun, Martial for TP Bonus, Corsair's for QD. I guess what's old is new :)

I'm aware of Arma's crit build, in fact I was the one who abused it back in Feb. The issue is that unless you get extremely lucky with DM augment, the racc advantage is negated when using a crit dmg build.

To illustrate my point, in last stand situations, my Arma AM3 crit dmg tp set actually has lower racc than my fomalhaut stp set, because the gears used in stp set(adhemar hands/legs) has high racc, more so if you have +1s. While Darraigner's Brais(what I have for crit-dmg) doesn't have any racc. Arma is only 37 racc ahead(50x0.75), so it's not THAT far ahead to offset the disadvantage of crit-hit dmg gears.

According to my spreadsheet, if your crit-dmg isn't high enough, then crit-dmg/rate build isn't worth using, and stp build becomes more preferable since tp overflow still adds more dmg to your ws. A strong Arma AM3 crit hit dmg build isn't very far ahead of perfect stp build, but the gears are either much harder to obtain(requires aug) or you have to sacrifice tons of racc for it(use darraigner's), and the dps difference between perfect stp build and strong crit-hit dmg build is like 50.

So yeah, while crit dmg/racc is nice little extra bonus, it's not super zomg game changing when comparing with Fomalhaut+full stp set. It's just much, much easier with Fomalhaut. And that's before considering the SC dmg, no risk of dying and losing AM3, nor having to get 3k tp and get another 3k after 3 min.

I definitely agree that if you pt with RNG, and pt buffs are accommodating RNG instead of COR, arma + max racc set is the way to go, but it can go the other way around. RNG can lower their racc for 3 hit, and take advantage of last stand tp overflow if the pt buffs accommodate COR racc needs. So again, it's situational and not by all end all favors Arma in this case.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to trash Arma, it's still my first expensive REMA with emotional attachment and I really hate someone who bandwagoned a Fomalhaut told me Arma isn't worth getting because Fomalhaut takes 2 days for them. But objectively speaking, Fomalhaut is just too easy in terms of gearing/playstyle, really.

That being said, I'd still recommend getting an arma if you're serious about /ra. Having the extra racc flexibility from bullets and AGI depending on pt buff is pretty useful.

It's actually big four these days, because tp bonus magian :) Real serious COR will have all 4.

I post this a month ago on Reddit but not here, so I'd like to share the info here.

For those who /BLM for leaden/wf and don't have a real BLM in pt, elemental seal Burn increases magical WS dmg by lowering target INT.

Additionally, fire shot x2 further increases -INT effect, tested in pvp and each fire shot decreases INT by 3, x2 fire shot decreases INT by 6. So that's 19 more dINT you can get from Burn.

-INT effect is 13 if player has 150 more INT than the mob, and that's possibly the cap(unsure if cap is higher with more INT)

Since fire shot with AF3 feet has boosts WF dmg, it's a good idea just fire shot after Burn for maximum WF dmg. Tested on mandy outside of adoulin, landing Burn does increase WF dmg.

And here comes COR INT set for elemental seal Burn >.>:
ItemSet 347984

Back piece is the same as Aeolian Edge one, INT+30.

What do you mean? You mean /BLM can't reach 150 dINT? Or /BLM doesn't have the same effect as BLM main?

I tested in pvp on COR/BLM and I was able to hit -13 INT with 150 more INT than my target.

In real high lv endgame BLM should be the one casting, higher macc etc. But for low man lower tier content without real BLM /BLM is the only source for Burn.

I don't think elemental debuffs are based on dINT, but rather just your INT total- meaning you're capped on anything as long as you land it.

From my test in PvP this is probably isn't the case, as I didn't get -13 INT from Burn until I reached +150 INT by asking my testing target to take off the gears. My casting gear didn't change if I remember correctly, it was my target INT value changed due to taking off gears.

I'm fairly certain INT value affects -INT on target unless this spell behave differently in PvP.

If anyone interested they can retest it, since I did it month ago and my memory is kinda blurred so I may be wrong.

I honestly have no idea as well, but until INT is proven having no effect I think we may as well cast it.

Against highest lv target it may be useless, but something like T2 T3 it shouldn't be that bad isn't it? Idk. You usually get real blm in very high lv endgame anyways.

Looks like PVP is different then cause its not dINT on mobs.
Naked I have exactly 101 Int as COR/BLM so I did a test then took out 2 Int Merits to goto 99.

Blanched Mandy - Wildfire DMG
101 Int (Burn) - 3023
99 Int (Burn) - 3017

Makes sense to me pvp has a lot of nurfs to things so some jobs wouldn't just trash all others at 75. Looks like Elemental Debuffs got changed to a dStat check in there based on your testing Afinia.

I'll do some futher testing on 150+ no one has probably checked high int values since 75 days since back then 200 probably wasn't reachable.

To my knowledge, it has been tested up to at least 300+ INT and there was no additional tier.

Soo, you mean mob INT is irrelevant to the potency of Burn, as long as you cast in 150 INT you get the full effect? Since you still get 6 more wf dmg increase from 2 more INT from Burn according to your test.

Just providing some updated info regarding people considering Arma. Verda recently updated rng spreadsheet and have AM3 arma pull off 3k more dps over Fomalhaut and 4k more than relics.

RNG gets soooo much more from Arma than cor thanks to deadaim, its probably one of the strongest rng weapon on paper and it's still 1 weapon usable on 2 jobs. Definitely consider it if you play rng.
