Random Question Thread (FFXI Related)

Yes, but not really related to nms dt. Enmity is proportional to damage dealt. If you deal less dmg, you generate less enmity, while your pld will still generate the same amount of enmity through cure cheats, easing his work. Also, prob you should use anni rngs, that have ws that generate low hate value.

Yeah.. we use a mix of Anni/Yoichi with some Skirmish bows, What does removing the aura do to Cailimh? does it gain access to threatening moves etc?

In GS, how do you manually equip a set? (like the same thing of typing //sc set whatever).

Also, is there a way to temporarily disable gear swaps along the lines of //sc disable?

Watching my gear swaps through the menu, I don't see precast gear getting put on. Do i have something disabled wrong somewhere (though it def seems like fc gear is equipping) or is it handled in such a way that i wouldnt see it?

Hi.
I was trying to get FFXI switch mon to work, but its crashing right when i try to open it. Tried to reinstall this and .NET, but no success so would like to ask if someone had this same problem or if there is another similar program that i could use.

Thanks in advance.

would a good settup for Delve morimar be:
Party A:
PLD SCH SCH GEO GEO WHM

PartyB:
MNK MNK MNK BRD COR WHM

or am I doing it wrong ?
I only know how to do with 18 ppl but I wanna try 12 man it

Please help (Just looking for an answer not a link to another Tread)

Thanks.

Remove the entire first party, remove the corsair, add scholar.

Thank you ! :D

but 1 sch is able to stun all Tojil TP moves and AOE ?

If they're well geared and have marches/haste, yes

I think the commands are

//gs equip setname - must be the full name listed in the sets section
Example //gs equip sets.TP.PDT

//lua unload gearswap

Gearswap is fast enough that you may no get your menu open before it changes until your midcast set is equipped. You can enable all swaps to be shown in the chat log to see if gear is actually swapping
Command is //gs showswaps

You could add a RDM in 2nd pt to prep mata and silence Tojil so you don't need to worry about his spell casting if you wanted to. 7 people doesn't seem to have much of an impact over 6

MNK, MNK, MNK, BRD, WHM, SCH | RDM is how my group does it.

WHM can cover Silence as well (Artsieq gear further supports this)

Yes, a pro scholar can with ease. just be sure he's always hasted and has double march on.

mnk mnk mnk brd cor whm

sch sch pld

takes 20-25 min depending how well i'm multiboxing, hp is not an issue at all unless your dd are extremely undergeared, if you were planning on bringing 12 then you'd probably want to add a couple rngs/possibly a second brd

while you don't NEED 2 schs, it gives you leeway and they can nuke raptor/eft/turtle fulltime and tojil/peiste between stuns

adding a COR to melee party will always net more damage than the extra body costs you, so unless it's a question of member availability or party structure doesn't fit it should be a given


at this point as long as your stunners aren't on time warner cable and your whm has a pulse it's pretty hard to lose tojil with any setup though

Wouldn't SCH need to be march x2 and full haste tho ?

Also I heard the dynamics change if you go over 8 ppl

This is Great info tho, I try'd to do settup that Asura.Calatilla mention


MNK MNK MNK BRD SCH WHM + RDM

we did fine til Pestile wasn't getting stun'd and we wiped (Stunner wasn't focusing and start nuking for some reason...... Thunder Nukes............ ><)

but we did fine otherwise.

gonna try other setups so I can see which is best for my shell.


The more info you guys can give me , the best

Thanks in Advance ^^/

/cry

Edit: to show just how often this happens. It took me 30 seconds after opening a ping to start getting this.

interesting.... (still better net than many I know.)

Stunning Calcifying Mist and Testudo Tremor are probably the hardest moves to stun in the zone. While I won't say its impossible to do without Battlemod and/or Ohshi, it's close to impossible. And even with those, you have to be on your toes. With a low man set up, if you miss one of those stuns, in particularly, Mist, so long as you yourself were out of the AoE range, it shouldn't ruin a run. You can just swap over to Light Arts, and when the DD have about 5 secs left on the petrification counter, use Accession > Stona to unpetrify everyone in your pt.

Can /DNC stun TP moves too ?

You don't need to unload GearSwap to disable equip changes. //gs disable all will disable all slots, //gs disable ammo head will disable just ammo and head (etc.), and //gs disable will disable your entire Lua file. //gs enable all will re-enable all slots, //gs enable ammo will only re-enable ammo (etc.), and //gs enable will re-enable your Lua file. Disabling slots will set up a queue of the last equip command blocked so that it will immediately equip again when you re-enable.

Im going to say yes since legsweep can stun nms in delve for up to 10s. However this is quickly lost with just a few stuns unless you have a good m.acc set up. But even then violent flourish can miss unlike stun and its harder to gear for.

Stuns also can fail. Prob with capped macc should be similar to physical acc, it caps at 95% chance.

Similar to legsweep, shoulder tackle can also stun tojil for some time. But similar to magic stun, Tojil, as well any delve nm grow resistance to consecultive stuns.

As an example, Tojil started to resist shoulder tackle bellow 50%. Till that point, there wasnt any miss, stunning every tp move (together with another 2 mnks. Just one mnk wont get tp100 before tojil, so you cant solo stun with ws).

The spell Stun has a couple resist states. It's actual land accuracy will be higher than 95% so long as you're capped but once you build enough resistance, you'll hit that wall very quickly.

To obtain items from the Delve bosses do you need both the KI and the title? I bought a Dakuwaqa win today and got the Craggy Fin KI but was not in range of exp to get the title, and cannot buy any Dakuwaqa items off of Forri-Porri.

Gearswap doesn't send commands through windower the way Spellcast does, the precast gear is sent in the packet before the action is sent. You'll never be able to see the swap in time if the menu isn't already open.

The KI is expendable and used to complete a quest. You need the title to purchase drops.

Sorry.

Man that is what I feared, thanks for responding though.

Blm uses int, mab and magic damage to calculate the final dmg.

Normally magic damage and int favor low tier nukes more than mab, but as you start stacking magic damage, mab relevance start to grow. So the answer is, depend how high is your current magic damage.

The marginal improvement of magic damage decrease as you add +1 magic damage, and mab is always a %, so its marginal improvement is constant.

Comparing the staves, for nukes, the new delve staves wont beat neither lehbraigh +2 or venabulum.

Lehbraigh +2 with max augments: magic damage 214 (with int), mab 51
Venabulum: magic damage 237, mab 28.

For higher tier nukes, no doubts, its lehbraigh, and just need a couple of mab to beat vena. Low tier is more affected for magic damage, so in theory, vena would win.

Personally, i would stick with venabulum, just to skip the augmenting process of lehbraigh, because nowaday blms use more low tier nukes, so vena is more suitable for this also.

* except for Ice nukes, where the Lion's staff is the best because its Ice Magic Attack Bonus +15 is actually +15% in what we used to call the "Staff Bonus" term.
