Having offensive BPs that cannot be used because every content that matters has a BP wall is equally silly, yet here we are.
|
|
 |
|
|
getting rid of its entire offensive side is pretty silly, otherwise sure. Hastega 2 already lasts like 9 minutes i think also, one of a few buffs that scaled well

whole lot of smns wards are underpowered/outdated and could push it into a support role that can also provide a bit of damage.
Quote: Smn needs to get rid of offensive BPs and get its buffs uncapped. Proper warcry from w/e that summon is, fenrir buffs that don't decay, haste2ga that lasts 10min etc.
Literally what I suggested two pages ago.

That doesnt equal the job should not get any adjustments, a soft BP wall like what dyna introduced already hard limits its damage potential.
Ideally you soft buff its dmg along with all pets and refocus on its utility, whole lot of smns wards are underpowered/outdated and could push it into a support role that can also provide a bit of damage.

Mastered my 8th job tonight. Paladin, yeehaw.
Cleaving Apex on it is so easy. And quite a change of pace from usual grinding.
Don't know if I'll ever use it for anything serious, but it's on the table now, I guess.
The master level cleaving was a very interesting concept while it lasted don't know if it's still possible

Thank you for the recommendations.
Are the merits recommended in this guide still relevant?
Also just came across the relic feet that looks ideal for tp with the merits over empy feet with dt?
If so the calculator does not account for this job trait, but why would it anyways.

The difference is melee jobs need to be up close and personal to do any dmg, which carries risk.
Throwing pets at something and spamming a BP button from 20' away carries no risk.
And smn is not used (for dmg) because it was too strong and now every content has a BP wall. You know this already.
It could be worse. Smn could get a "you need to be next to avatar to use BPs" nerf like bst did..

If any job doesn't need a buff, it's Summoner. Literally a job that created its own nerf.
And you want to uncap its dmg and make it so any noob can press the easy button and win any fight. How fun.
How come I don't get to go to any current end game as summoner if it's so strong? Why is it literally the last job people want me on?

If we're doing comparisons, then I have a few I would love to know which is better.
I have these two gloves:
 First pair, don't even need the calculator to tell me that one.
But I also have this set which might be better for hybrid?
This is my current attack set, I'm not sure if it beats the above in terms of hybrid:
 Nah, Pet:MAB is huge for Flaming Crush and it's too low on these two pieces. Use your magic pair from above.
Likewise I'm not sure which staff is better:
I've been holding on to all of them because I can't tell which is better. This one is harder because I'm not really sure how much INT is doing for you. I'd suggest testing them.
Use Night Terror since it can't be resisted, and make sure your avatar has 0 TP both times. If you can perform the test on the same target (if the first BP doesn't kill it) then you should only need 1 BP with each staff. Whichever is higher wins. You'll want to do this on a fairly high iLvl target for a good measure of how effective the INT is. If you have any friends doing V25 Ongo RP, that would be a fantastic test subject.

Totally random but THF can wear wayfarer set which is 3 refresh. I know, this is about an HP down set, but just thought i'd toss that in for help when Moogle is on cooldown etc

Summoner is currently running into the 20s timer and the 99,999 damage cap.
double the favor bp timer recast reduction and/or remove the damage cap for everyone.
also, remove the nerfs with cumulative bp resistance to happy fun button on older events. opening access and easing difficulty would make the events better. remove the rare tag from nyame too.
Removing the rare tag from Nyame would be stupid imo. Whole point of this set being that strong is because you need to choose. If you take the rare tag away, you will have 85% of TP WS MB nuke and pet set look the same. Completely shitting on every gearing aspect, which is a reason ffxi is great. I understand the frustration of wanting pet gear and WS gear and TP gear that strong, but this is not the way.

This and I wasn't talking about only WS, but also for TPing.

there's an entire section for ff14 users that none of you cry about, it doesn't appear to show up on the front page but it's still there.
it is amazing how safe you all need your spaces to feel and how entitled you are to tell others, who actually own said spaces, how to run them

Sure, fair enough.
|
|
 |

It's also the highest accuracy ring.
It's not.
Cornelia's has WSAcc+20, not 10 that the English description says.
"How do you know it's wrong" - Because the JP description says WSAcc+20.
Odds of getting the English description fixed? Zero.
Um...20 accuracy + 10 DEX > 20 WSacc, last time I checked? Am I missing something...?

IMO:
AF Head: Required for Samba Duration, level of your choice (*** step accuracy)
AF Body: Very nice for Waltz, level to 3
Relic Head: Another great Waltz piece, level as necessary to hit 50%
Relic Legs: might be BiS for some WS, especially at +4. Keep in mind Empy legs are PDL so...YMMV.
Relic Feet: Nice for steps to reduce TP used. Used to be a good TP piece but it's not that great anymore.
Empy: At least head, hands, legs, feet to +3. The body can be situational.

That was my thought, so much acrimony in each of thoae posts. Personally I also don't understand why they're given space on this site when they just treat it as free advertising for their server. I think private servers should have their own spaces but they should be separate from retail spaces. This would also lower confusion for newer players.

There is also the Stearc Subligar from "Brygid the Stylist Strikes Back" in Aby-Altepa. This can be augmented with +1 refresh and is all jobs. It has been ages, but I remember this was much quicker that the hairpin for me (although I wanted both, of course, lol).
Not sure if it is low level all job Refresh you are looking for. Unless you use many jobs and all bags are pretty full, you can also get at least +2 Refresh on all main armor slots via DM augments much easier now that you get 6 DM augs every day.

Respecting their space is also an alternative

If you're looking for an all jobs refresh headpiece, why not go for Null Mask?
Unless it's for 75cap stuff I guess. Wonder which takes longer. I got both my masks on VE without too many runs though...

If it's effectively 4000 attack Vs 1000 defense I suppose so, more so when berserk is up

Trying to target farm wivre hairpins in konschtat, so trying to maximize my odds of getting refresh aug.
I saw some people on random threads here and there indicate that while you get augment items from lower tier boxes, the "better" augments come from max tier boxes, I guess?
Anyone able to speak as to the truth vs *** of that?
I was getting the occasional hairpin at max amber light, I ended up seeing 9 of them total so far in about 2 hrs of cleaving so not an awful rate, I guess.
Honestly the worst part about konschtat is there just doesnt seem to be any particularily good spot to cleave, almost every enemy pack is spread out really wide so its difficult to gather em up
I ended up going with the 2 sets of tonberries, they aggro by sight but at least their density is okay so I can gather all of them up, I dunno if folks have anything better theyd recommend.

Whats the actual optimal amber light to aim for, for farming augmented items in abyssea?
Going too high seems to always give me key items + temp items and thats it, I stop seeing augmented items.
But they dont seem to show up at low amounts either.
Not sure where I wanna aim for...
I feel like I see them the most with Small Gold Pyxis. The Abyssea Light page on the old Wiki seems to have some info on it.

*lights the Martel signal*
Heard you did some Slow vs. Haste tests recently.
Saw it was for recast, was it verified with Attack Speed as well? Uhh... "recently"? I'm gonna need some context here, cause I'm not sure what you're asking. Idk actual time frame (maybe it was from last year), someone was linking me a Discord blurb where you tested whether or not Haste from GEO/other source overpowered Slow or not.
You took a RDM and GEO to ballista, and did full power GEO Haste, and then casted Slow II from RDM.
Results were your recast still went up by like 13 seconds, so the Haste did not impact the penalty from slow, at least as far as recast was concerned.
I was just wondering if it was the same for attack speed?
