~First and Final Line of Defense v2.0~
I've always been curious how the game handles glow priority if you're wearing Stage 5 Duban + AG mainhand?

Afterglow visual priority is main>range>sub. So Mainhand AG will overwrite Duban glow.

Someone tried to do it a while ago with Foma as well, wanted a pouch and gun for bullets. Was able to do every step except the completion part of the aeonic I think. This was like 4-5 years ago I think.

Feels bad man If this is an issue, you can just lockstyle some level 1 Prime Weapon on your main hand, even if you are wearing an Afterglow fully upgraded weapon there it won't take priority on the shield's glow: I know, it's silly and it's just cosmetic but can't stop looking at that purple glow :) edit: 01/05 Well I am eating my own words. Bahamut.Zedoma said: » Nothing special on shield bash? I knew I would end up making 2 stage4s instead of 1 stage5 after doing my testing on my Duban early on and finding no hidden effects. Guess I can move forward with that idea after all cause the t-mobile glow is not enough. I haven't really seen anything special or different on Shield Bash but I'm open for suggestions to test something you may think of. I really doubt there will be some "hidden stat" but we never know :) The extra 5% MDT II and other stats increase is very well worth it for me, but of course, I would have still done it even without those :D Offline

The bg wiki guide for the hybrid 4 set wants full sakpata, does that imply its fully augmented or will it still work well unaugmented?

Can anyone explain to me how i need my gearswap set up for aoe tanking? I have a sird set for blue magic but im having trouble holding hate in a simple aoelian edge aoe party.
I think currently it puts on fast cast and then switches to sird and then casts. Do i need to have an enmity set that needs to be swapped into at any point? If so, when and how? Can't speak to the Gearswap part itself, but your enmity will be in your SIRD set, because that's the set which is on when the spell lands and that's when the enmity for the spell is calculated. You have to balance SIRD, Enmity, DT, and your HP to make one set that does it all.
How many mobs are being pulled at a time? There’s a cap on how many targets that will be hit by your BLU spells (Max 15). You’ll want to switch targets while cycling through your enmity spells.
Toss in enmity where you can while maintaining 101% SIRD. Ragnarok.Martel

Since actual SIRD values on gear may vary in much the same way that haste gear does, some combinations might be sufficient at 101% and others might not. Although, I've yet to run into a combination that did not reliably cap at 102%. Here's my SIRD set as an example, you may wish to adjust it depending on how much HP your idle set has. This includes 50% DT, obvious 102% SIRD, and as much enmity as I could cram in there. You may also wish to add more meva/resist if you're facing certain mobs who do loads of magic attacks, since Souv. especially has terrible meva. This should work pretty well for most situations though, it has served me well.

Is this a photoshop :o Both weapons are different ID, and I cant imagine that SE's rare check goes beyond "char cant have two items of the same ID".
They would run into problems trying to get that second one to 119-III jarhead402011 said: » Can anyone explain to me how i need my gearswap set up for aoe tanking?

If you aren't sure if your phalanx gear is swapping in properly you can test it by manually equipping your phalanx gear and casting Phalanx with gearswap unloaded. Then load gearswap and cast it again.
If Phalanx casts with the same or higher potency, it will overwrite. It it casts with reduced potency it will have no effect. EDIT: That said, Ideally, you'd want to have a RDM or SCH in your group that can cast Phalanx on you with 500 skill and max duration gear while you wear all your phalanx+ gear. You get more base potency than PLD can hit alone, and you don't have to recast as often, making things much safer.

PLD is used in upper tier content currently. I'd say its in its best useful place in quite some time.
Its used often in Odyssey Sheol farming (mainly C) which leads to Odyssey NM farming. PLD is also used in Aminion in Sortie. Adding on to the above, PLD is great for Omen, Dynamis [D], Vagary, most ambus, some HTBF, and a handful of master trials. It's very commonly used and outside of melee zerg and (some) magic-only strats, it's pretty much always got a slot.
It's not as (nearly) universal as BRD or COR, but it's got a lot of representation in most endgame content. Offline

For Aminion are you using Asklepain or Carrier's?
Are you swapping out of MDB/Meva gear for cure and stoneskin? |
