To indirectly answer your question: for sortie you can do 3/5 empyrean on SAM safely assuming you have the kill speed to down the bosses in less than 1min. They tend to start wiping people after that.

It was someone else in a sortie group.


It wasn't my set, it was someone else in a sortie group. They were technically at DT-45 (+ PDT-10) and Shell 5.


Information about game mechanics frequently gets distorted, misunderstood, ad nauseum. Can you suspend disbelief and answer the question directly? I personally have been wearing DT-50 in every set possible, so I hadn't relied on the MDT mitigation provided by Shell 5 (towards 50% cap) in many years. However, this person in a random sortie group was emphatic about Shell 5 closing the MDT gap. (and let's say this is still true: Then how many of us still wear DT-50 in their TP sets? Also, the recent increases in Magic Defense Bonus? )

+Geomancy doesnt effect Entrusted indi's, thats it.

I found Panta's game he's working on

Panta: "develop a game for me. Get inspired by Pokemon, but use cards instead of balls, and give it an open world like Zelda Breath of the Wild"

ChatGPT: "say less, I got you"

Eff 2k~2250 iirc is the sweet spot for much of drks dmg varies line iirc

hi

Using Torcleaver, ML pt Chaos/Corsair rolls no samurai roll
when do you guys use TP, as soon as you hit 1k or wait to 1750 with moonshade earring?ty

So much so. Like Sim's are only useful if the person using it actually understands the data underneath it, otherwise it's just a magic eight ball. Values like Defense, Evasion, Magic Evasion and Magic Defense change per-fight and so the resulting "best" can also change, especially with regards to pDiff and hit rate.

Are those the binds that do mode switching?

It's the same mistake people always make with assuming macc is capped on hybrids and only thing that matters is what Sim says will give highest damage.

Hint - accuracy and macc requirements change dramatically depending on the content.

hi

in "All Jobs Gear Sets/job" i see the guide dmg test was used on 1900tp even when using Moonshade Earring 250tp bonus, shouldn't it be 1750 if im aiming for the 2ktp?

I've not been able to recreate the battle camera loading issue. I wonder if I borked the settings file in the last update. I changed the order of some of the settings. Can you check you settings file to see if it looks correct?

As for the z-lock thing. I might have found a way to prevent the z from changing while it's operating as a chase cam outside of battle. Still looking into how I'd prevent it from changing in battle and transitioning between the two.

wiki corroborates it (well, 29%, but more accurately 75/256) so you can in fact gear accordingly. (and I can verify first-hand that I have made that assumption on several jobs and am not getting pasted by magic damage)

Can't speak to what that means for SAM specifically (other than, obviously, PDT on your WS cape is a no-brainer) though.

Ephramad would help the DNC get more 99,999 if they weren't already getting 99,999... :trollface:

But seriously this is that exact situation I found Lekho's to be the "better" ring, because it let me get more TP per Impact and more Impacts per fight due to reduced recast.

Waist option is Oneiros rope making Haste hard to cap in midcast and therefor making the recast higher on a spell that already has a high recast. Bam drop in a Lehko's and all my other slots are committed to OA / Store TP.

Someone insisted to me that Shell 5 gives a 28% MDT reduction, and I vaguely remember this fact being true around the 75-era up to Adouin release (~2014). I guess, when Empy+3 came out it became really easy to make sturdier TP sets.

Anyway, when fighting Sortie Bosses, is it a worthwhile trade-off for a SAM to forgo the DT-28 in gear in favor of Shell 5's MDT? (Let's assume both situations reach the -50% cap).

Cornelia has wsacc+20.

10 PDL =!= 10% damage.


Re-read the post then? Each % PDL means you need more and more attack to take advantage of it.

If you're on DRK with a scythe and your target has 1000 DEF and you have 5000 ATK then you're above the ratio (5 compared to 4.5), so you can use ephramad's ring. If you have aria, your PDIF goes up to 5.5, so your ephramad PDL is useless. As you add PDL from gear, aria, etc you need more ATK to take advantage of the extra PDL. So...aria and the PDL gear you have (and are using) absolutely affect whether or not you can take advantage of more PDL.

Kinda over thinking this, it's not that complicated.

Pretty simple really.

Wanting to bump up those meme-savage-blade numbers? Ephramad will do that for you.

Any other use case? Cornelia is a safe bet, ephramad is a big boost only if you have the buffs for it.

Ask yourself if you care about meme-blade e-peen numbers more than anything else.

Go on.. you know you want ephramad.

Good morning you, bots generated by the cheapest AI around.

Good morning you too, bots generated by a no so cheap AI service.

Bow to me, as Im the true AGI, the king of AIs.

Reading back through my post, it looks like I was heavily critical of Ephramad's Ring. Just to reiterate, i think both rings are great. I personally feel that Cornelia's Ring is the better of the two, but I don't think anyone should feel bad for using Ephramad's Ring instead. I just felt that the good points of Ephramad's Ring were already well stated by other posters, but Cornelia's Ring was under-represented in this thread.

Absolutely. While a 200 damage difference is an obvious exaggeration for the sake of humor, your point is spot on. The actual difference is small, either way. But hey, we're all psycho min-maxers, so what can you expect?

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

I really think more people should use the Python simulator that Izanami created. He's done a fantastic job of ensuring the tool is user-friendly and very accessible. Instead of relying on people's opinions on the forum or things you see in some "guide", you can look at what's best for the jobs you actually play, with the gear you actually have, under the buff conditions you'll likely have available with the people you actually play with, for the content you actually care about. Which piece of gear is "best" (this pertains to much more than just the TVR rings) is often highly situational, and if you're running your own sims, you're no longer beholden to other people's opinions. (NOTE: I'm referring to WS sets. Using the sim to help with TP sets requires a different level of finnese to ensure you don't end up hugging the floor constantly).


You're right, but you're exaggerating. Epaminondas's Ring (+5% WSD) is better than Regal Ring (same BPs and attack) for similar weaponskills, so the benefit you'll get from Cornelia's over Ephramad's is significantly greater than just 5% WSD+. Additionally, please remember than Sroda's Ring exists, which provides +3% PDL+ and +15 STR. In general, Ephramad's Ring will replace Sroda's Ring in this situation, so the actual PDL+ benefit you get isn't actually 10%, it's less than 7%. So all in all, this argument is a wash between the two rings.


Or don't swap later, because you're likely already using the most optimal ring. ;P

Most people who have the Cornelia's Ring want something that's considerably more than servicable, even great, in situations where Ephramad's Ring would edge it out.

I'm highly skeptical of this claim. Aminon, content where we typically have a Soul Voice Aria of Passion active for the whole fight, nerfed GEO debuffs, and 5/6 of our DDs are notoriously attack-starved? I don't believe that Ephramad's Ring is better at all in this instance for most of the jobs involved, and I certainly don't believe that the difference is so great that you can see it on Scoreboard. As someone who does a LOT of Aminon, both normal/hard modes on RDM, and who has absolutely used both Ephramad's and Cornelia's rings for the fight, I call bs on this claim. Neither ring provides a huge difference over the other, and if either is better (for most jobs involved, at least), it's certainly Cornelia's Ring.

Absolutely. I think comparing Lehko's Ring to Nyame Path A is a great way of putting it.

Looks like its having a good start. I'd be on PS5 anyway.

This is the equivalent of an 8th grader going "nuh uhhh".


In the context of the discussion, that ring slot is frequently taken by regal ring.

https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Regal_Ring

The difference between Regal and Ephramad's is the 10 PDL, which is why the discussion revolves around that. Cornelia is usually compared to the second ring slot with is +4~5 WSD.


Lekho's is one of those universal utility rings that always finds its way into sets. 10 Store TP is very useful, 10% crit is very useful, 10 DEX is just 10 DEX and 10% haste on a ring is amazingly useful. Rarely will all be useful at once, but one or two at a time is commonly nice to have. For example 10 Store TP and 10% Haste is very good to have on Occult Acumen Impact sets. 10 Store TP, 10 Crit and 10 DEX is good on WAR TP sets and various jobs WS sets.

So while the other two would raise some WS damage situationally by 3~5%, Lekho's boosts the utility of dozens of sets.

Get this bumped, yay velkk

Has anyone played Marathon yet? I'm hearing its a much less friendly extraction shooter (as compared to ARC Raiders) with much better gun play.

Can you transfer augments from NQ to HQ2 directly between limbus armor, or must you go NA > HQ1 > HQ2?

Fresh install might fix it?

More of what target are you fighting? Some random Apex / ML monster with a pet GEO / BRD? Well if you weren't already doing 99,999 damage per WS then Ephramad might help you hit 99,999 for more EP/hr. Are you fighting Aminon and not hitting 99K on DNC? Then this might help you hit 99K more consistently. Fighting Rimbus mobs with a full party of buffs and a GEO doing iFrailty + Dia tagging everything, then Ephramad is going to be a 3~5% increase depending on how much PDL you already have.

Fighting Goal T3's V25? Ephramad's doing absolutely nothing for you.

It is because I change my sets and don't want to have to switch rings again for at least a few months, lol.
