~First And Final Line Of Defense V2.0~

I have FR set to a full macc set. I use it in segment farm after the bard hordes lands pretty well on 1f and 2f

Do you mind sharing the set? I'm trying not to spend my galimaufry right now.

Got my basic lua working.
Still missing a lot of gear for optimising things like JAs and potency on things like SS, phalanx, enlight etc.
But took Prime out for a few test 4uns on AA Galka VD, solo no trusts.
Fastest Fight took 17 mins with ochain.
Srivasta 2nd fastest fight
Duban stage 2 slowest.

I was playing it extra safe and stayed in my hybrid/attack mode. Never took more than 130 dmg and it was from his fudo closer for light.
Was /RDM though and there is no hate management to worry about.
First round I used Ochain. Which is the round i took that 130 dmg.
On srivasta and duban it was mostly zero dmg taken the entire fight.

I tried AA EV solo and timed out with aegis.
Went in with trusts next round and they lastest about 30 seconds before they all died. Again timed out. Tried full attack mode to test the boundaries, she almost one shotted me and I had to invincible to get some breathing room to recover. Switched back to defensive mode and other than the constant dispels and having to manage MP well, it was a pretty easy fight to survive. But she was only at 58% by the time I timed out.


How am I doing? I still haven't tanked anything end game or even ambuscade. But Im assuming I'm nowhere near end game ready based on how AA Ev went.

Wont help you have Galli because its all empy+3
sets.midcast['Frightful Roar'] ={
ammo="Pemphredo Tathlum",
head="Sakpata's Helm", --empy+3 more macc
neck="Moonlight Necklace",
ear2="Chev. Earring +1",
ear1="Crepuscular Earring",
body="Chev. Cuirass +3",
hands="Chev. Gauntlets +3",
ring1="Metamor. Ring +1",
ring2="Stikini ring +1",
back=gear.fastcast_jse_back,
waist="Acuity Belt +1",
legs="Chev. Cuisses +3",
feet="Chevalier's Sabatons +3"
}

Coming back into this conversation late and wanted to add to this.

Remember just like with augmented gear you can also assign variables for gear with priorities. This way you dont have to repeatedly define a table with a priority and item name for every occurrence across multiple sets.

Here is a quick example.


Also thought I should point out. In this case you do not need to add the augment table for odnowa earring +1 because you can't have more than one anyways.

Hey guys, I was gonna get back into the game with a fresh character and try my hand at PLD (been on a tanking kick in XIV and it's carrying over between games lol), but I had a question about Fealty while I was reading job abilities.

How does Fealty mitigate damage from Meteor/Mijin/Astral Flow? And did someone have a comparison between being hit by those skills with and without Fealty?

There was testing done like 15 years ago where someone determined it was around a 90% reduction on the damage from those types of moves. I've looked around, and I can't find the original source. Old posts on gamespot and ffxiclopedia have reference to this testing, but no link directly to it. I'm not aware of any more recent testing of fealty.

Okay, thank you for the reply! I guess I'll find out about it for myself when I get my fresh character up!

On a side note, is D ring transferable? Found one on my old character (I don't even remember getting it)

Defending Ring is not sendable no, would have to farm one on the new character.

It is sendable to the same POL account

TY for adding this.

I guess I should have checked if they were sending from 1 account to the other or just another char on same account, just auto assumed new account since new character.

Oh! Yeah, sorry, I was gonna just make a new character on the same account! Shoulda mentioned that, my bad! Thank you both!

ItemSet 392232

superior Set
-Enemy Critical Hit Rate -20% and pld Job Trait Crit. Def. Bonus -14% Reduces Critical Hit Damage

["Phalanx"]="Phalanx",
}
include('common_info.status.lua')

And install caster_buffWatcher.lua in lib file

I hope this helps everyone need this

I love the focus on Enemy Critical Hit Rate down. I've been putting that into my idle sets now and it's saved me more than once.

It's worth noting that Enemy Critical hit rate down merits (-5) could give you a little more flexibility on your ring or ammo piece.

The Crit Def Bonus trait does not reduce the rate of critical hits taken. It reduces the damage of crits taken.

I think u can try with sub /rdm in seg B or A with Shield Mastery set gear Rev. Gauntlets +3 with shield and dagger aoe ws

are you using full chev for any particular reason? if not this set would get you more magic evasion and cap your SIRD if for some reason you aren't using a better midcast set. I could adjust it for a specific element as well for the chance at the 1/8 resist.

ItemSet 392243

I like what you've done, but some questions/clarifications. What group 1 and 2 merits are you advocating for in your description above?

Also, I think Shabti Cuirass is "Enhancing Magic Duration" not "Enhancing Magic Duration Received", right? ....unless it's a mistranslation?

Chevalier's sets if u equip all 5 piece its high def from sakpata set u can check that

i think Chevalier's have some special technique gear for pld and for absorbs damage taken
and some enmity , convert , high vit , AGI , Evasion

u have more option for change 5 piece ans sakpata set its work good and u can mix with any piece and i think no need more magic evasion in seg c and use sird midcast set if need from change castmode for sird

Paladin (Group 1) 10/10
Sentinel Recast 5
Rampart Recast 5
Paladin (Group 2) 10/10
Fealty 1
Chivalry 1
Iron Will 5
Guardian 3


and Shabti Cuirass +1 give u more duration if u spell only on u and aoe pt

U right this 4 piece Enemy Critical Hit Rate down

ammo="Eluder's Sachet",
ring1="Fortified Ring",
ring2="Warden's Ring",
back="Reiki Cloak",

U can change ammo with Iron Gobbet if u not capped dt


The correct location of the 4 equipment in idle.sets.mode
And These five equipment remain still equip and the other equipment changes with defense.mode change

ItemSet 377889

Not sure if its BiS but could be a good starting point

For Savage Blade, is base Nayame or base Sakpata better? Working on doing vengeance clears and wanting to upgrade my WS sets as we go, and looking for advice.

With no augments on either set Sakpata should be a fair bit stronger. More STR, more atk and depending on buffs and what you're fighting you can probably make use at least some of all that phys. dmg limit+ too.

How did you know you died in SIRD set and not simply just dead in the gear?

dude, that was like 2.5 months ago, pretty sure they got it sorted out lol

Likely the first options, you can always load of a parse and do a direct comparison. Assuming the same rough DMG reduction to slashing as every other undead you could also try a Beryllium Mace and do Hexa -> Black Halo for light. Really depends on what your dmg looks like from each WS.
