Just noticed that Malignance Pole is the only weapon in game, atm, that is not a RMEA and breaks the 250 skill cap?
Previously that cap was 242 but it got broken by Ambuscade cape (250).
Now a further step forward, 255?
Wonder if it's a typo because the other 2 Lilith weapons have a "regular" 242 skill.

The Japanese version also says 255. Could still be a typo, but unlikely.

D286 隔412 HP+150 VIT+40 命中+40
両手棍スキル+255 受け流しスキル+255
魔命スキル+215 ウェポンスキルのダメージ+15%
被ダメージ-20%
I justo got it soloing this as rng

What difficulty were you on when you got this?

Save it as anchor.Lua , put it folder under same name, and load it. Removes knock back and bind.

Hmmm ... that cleary a cheat...

Agreed. That is intentionally circumventing a debuff.

"*** you" mechanics need "*** you" solutions.

Yeah, got to say, that's definitely cheating and not just making things convenient on the client side.

You are countering game mechanics with something that is effectively teleporting your character.


Regarding the gear, do keep in mind its a set, but that doesnt mean you have to wear every piece at once, lol.

The PDL does only increase the cap. If you don't have the attack to support being at the cap of the "attack vs mob's defense" check, you won't see any advantage of the PDL on the gear.

RDMs can go solo bunnies in West Ron and hit harder now. While true, it's a joke. It's not that extreme.

Some of these pieces may be decent on crit based WS in a whole lot more scenarios than just absolute max 1hr buff type situations. And the reason for that is just the nature of the way crits work and how they interact with pDIF. Personally, I'm pretty confident that the hands of this set will be my new RDM CDC hands on most content. The hands have the 2nd most STR of any of the pieces of the set, and the STR on the hands is decent when compared to a lot of other RDM hand options, anyway. I think most RDM probably CDC with either a DM Chironic, Taeon or Jhakri+2 hands. Personally, I've bounced around a few times between a Taeon and a Jhakri hands. I've seen a DM chironic feet that had both crit % rate and crit damage %, but they fell short of Thereoid. The point of mentioning these lousy DM feet I seen, is that it's probably possible someone out there has a pretty good CDC chironic DM hands. Anyway, If we look at Jhakri+2 hands and what they have for CDC relevant stats: str18, dex41, accuracy43, attack43, WS 7%. The WS% applies to the first hit of CDC only and I think RDM's should be happy to lose 43 attack to gain 7accuracy, 7 STR, 15 DEX and PDL4 that can apply to all hits. The 7STR and 15DEX by itself should be worth more than the 43 attack. The 7% WSD applying to the first hit only quickly gets lost in the background of Triple Attack procs turning CDC into 6 or 8 hit WS's.

That club looks like it might be a fun Croc/Club Seraph Blade option. Croc Red Lotus and Croc Seraph Blade at 3k TP already do comparable damage to Croc Sanguine (Sanguine damage does not scale with TP). Seraph Blade using Croc to boost elemental WS and this club to boost light (assuming it's affinity), Seraph should find a way into RDM's arsenal of half-way viable WS options depending what you're fighting and what buffs you're getting (Warrior Warcry, Malaise).

Asura.Sechs said: »
Consider that in group situations the best DPS output for RDM is Crocea Mors MH

It's really quite situational. I can find all sorts of occasions where DDing on RDM with Croc is less effective than many of our alternative options.

Maxentius/Thibron or Naegling/Thibron are both great options. Almace/Ternion is still one of my favorite RDM DD options because it skill chains quite readily/easily. Sequence/Ternion is pretty nuts with Samurai Roll because of TP over flow. It's pretty likely to Savage at 2k with Sequence/Ternion between TP overflow & TP Earring. Add a warrior with Warcry's TP effect, and Sequence/Ternion is a Savage spam machine doing 2k to 2.5k TP Savages at really high frequency.

I've joined countless CP parties to parse myself against myself comparing a variety of weapons. And I have to say, there's a reason Almace/Ternion continues to be one of my favorite RDM DD options.

But truly there's a lot of really fun RDM DD options to play with. Including R15 Mandau/Ternion which is basically a darkness spam option (Mercy Stroke) that falls just short of Almace CDC spam damage, but it brings a piercing option to the table. Before the augmented REMA option became an option, I would have scoffed at Mandau in the hands of a RDM. Hell, I would have scoffed at Mandau... period. It was a lot of work and effort for something only marginally better than other NQ dagger options, if it was even better at all. But with the augments, Mandau became a decent RDM option, I think in part because of RDM's Triple Attack (Same effect happens with Maxentius' 50% WS DMG applying to all hits). But in CP style setting I can RDM Mercy Stroke 18k to 27k on crab/fish with Mandau/Ternion. It's a darkness spam combo that WS's at higher frequency than Almace/Ternion but the individual WS's (Mercy) are a bit weaker than Almace (CDC). Mercy's biggest fault is not being able to take advantage of things like a TP earring or a Warrior's Warcry or any TP overflow. If certain TP+ buffs come into play, Mercy Stroke will be left that much more in the dust by other RDM options. Things like a quick 6 or 8 sec Amnesia really hurt RDM Mercy Stroke Spam because the extra TP does 100% nothing. RDM Mandau can't even realistically swap to a different WS to try to capture some of the TP overflow like RDM Almace can with Savage Blade. Even CDC at least gains crit % rate with more TP.

And something to be said about Croc, is that it doesn't hardly stand a chance against RDM's physical options *IF* your party is physically buffed and not using Malaise. And there's a lot of physical DD in a lot of content who wouldn't care if Malaise was ever thrown down or not. Many 6man Ambu, some Omen fights, many SR groups, etc. So you really have to look at your circumstances and just play the best option you have to match to the environment. Croc isn't some automatic DD RDM win option. You still need to think through some things: look at your party setup, buff setup, and what you're fighting.

One of the biggest reasons Croc has gotten something of a reputation for RDM DD is that because 1) It is a good option, 2) You can just buy it off the AH, but really 3) Dynamis double dark weather and the natural tendency for Malaise to always be thrown down to support Corsairs taking advantage of said double dark weather.

The people who cheat egregiously by completely breaking game mechanics are usually the same people who *** and whine about FFXI being too easy/boring/having no fun content.

But suit yourself. There's no point arguing about this unless SE starts banning people again.

yeah there's idiots on both sides of the coin. But bragging about being an FFXI "purist" is like walking around an Adult Video convention wearing a "Proud Virgin" t-shirt.

Never said I was a purist, nor did I ever brag about being a purist. You're just lashing out because others do not agree with you skipping over mechanics when the fight is very doable without.

So far those who do not want to cheat have been called plebs, purists, proud virgins, and what's next?

The biggest cheat in this game isn't speed hacks. It's not duping. It's not JAwait0 or Anchor.

It's resetable SPs.

And SE gave us that one! So arguing about these things is pointless when this current era has just overpowered everything to sub 1 minute fights.

Also until harder gear checks come back, a lot of these new shiny toys don't matter in the grand scheme of things. FFXI is just a collector's game now.

I absolutely agree with this. The fact that you can spam Wild Card over and over and over is pretty crazy. And when you get tired of that, you can just go to Abyssea and snag a revitalizer every 10 minutes.

0/25 on VE for victories
About 15 deaths or so over a total of 40 runs, been going for about 12 hours.
Pulling my hair out.

Did a couple of runs with other people, Sword/Earring/Hat dropped of which I lotted under 200 every time.

When it rains, it pours.

Back to dying like half the time solo DNC/WAR
