SMN earring kills Gelos. Gelos is dead. Horn possibly replaces as idle main. Might shift some stuff around in idle to take advantage of the fact that head, body, and legs all have -DT. Happy.

I'm glad to be sipping my own ***rn

It's Sortie time!

May wanna add more context, emergency maint "for a few minutes" incoming on leafallia 2:00 PDT, 9 GMT, 10 BST.

Yep I got that message a short time ago myself

does it bother anyone about the fact they never even added the new slip for Empyrean reforged +2 yet?

Damn straight

it's been 80 years since we added a new porter moogle slip...

Spicyryan seems to have redone everything in the other guide linked on BG THF page: Rogue's Gallery.

I never directly said anything to the guy, but there was a THF discussion about Aeneas here a while back (where, I'm paraphrasing, but general consensus seemed to be that these days it's best MH option for Aeolian Edge but not much else). I commented about the old Community guide on BG still suggesting Aeneas over Twash for mainhand, and also noted that guide still suggested TP sets with low defensive stats, and asked if that was just an outdated guide since that sounded more in line with common advice a few years back. People said Spicy did the guide and he has a certain perspective.

Anyway, apparently he took that discussion as an attack and revamped the guide (and it's actually pretty good), but threw in several comments about the FFXIAH crowd (the "if a mob so much as breathes in your general direction" hybrid TP set is sarcastically quoting something I wrote here where I was skeptical of Adhemar sets on more current content due to the paper thin defense). IDK, maybe he just took it personal.

His guide is pretty good though. Hi Spicy.

We don't care about your opinion. :P

Don't they leave you 1 haste away from cap?
Quite interesting if I'm wrong!

I certainly agree with ya, though I was presuming if we are going to get any + to the songs on the pieces, that it is most likely they'll reserve it for the +3 versions of the armor. Gotta "motivate" us to go the all way as usual...

No. You need less than 2% JA haste from hasso enhancements (1.25%) to cap delay reduction if you have capped gear and magic haste. Even wakido sune ate are enough, they just don't have any other good stats besides loads of acc and a bit of zanshin

The pants are really good because they have store tp AND dt- in addition to capping haste

IDK, this is one case where I'd say wait for Empy+3 to make a judgment. An additional +1 to song just feels like something that would/should only make it onto the final upgraded piece, and not the +2 version. The +2 we got is certainly not very exciting, but hey, I'll take more DEF/Meva/MDB/stats for gear I was already singing in anyway.

I'm with you on the WTF with Feet DT- though! And after Relic body, Empy reforge set having no WSD pieces is also disappointing.

maybe it's actually a joke or whatever but, why would anyone ever post their opinion on a discussion forum.

In response to Sechs.. Sam set is generally good, maybe not the head, although I think you'd want that for koga AM, +11 STP is nice. Hands are really good, I still used them at +1 for sekkanoki WS, now they're actually providing more than just the TP bonus for WS. Legs are good, and due to the defensive stats, I'm likely going to swap out AF+3 hands for these. Only need like +2 Hasso to cap, so +3 on these and +4 on hands is overkill anyway. Can put, Mpaca hands on for TP now with no regerts, for TA damage + since most of our gear is rocking TA, so you.

Body is great for Zanhasso, and good defensively too.

Feet are kinda meh, still decent for sengikori, but will weaken the WS you use them on.

This its all about the stats that come with the hasso+

Hiraishinsenna is a dear friend, he was just messing around <3


Thanks for the input folks!
Kasuga Legs still use the old model of haste+5% on Legs. Altough given how most builds for SAM use Sailfi/Ioskeha, that shouldn't be an issue for reaching 26% gear haste I suppose.

Alternatives to Relic+3 hands then would be Mpaca or... Tatenashi +1 R15? Which are sorta glass-cannon but that should be well enough compensated by Kasuga +2 body/legs which have decent enough defensive stats, even more when the +3 will be out in november.

I see the point of Hands+2 for Sekkanoki, as limited as that may be. Should upgrade them regardless though I think, given how with the +3 version they will likely become our BiS option for all physical WS, with Nyame probably remaining BiS for hybrids.

Also kendatsuba tekko +1

AMAN Trove - had a very interesting encounter where I entered a Mars Orb and had a rainbow before I even touched a chest. Possible bug, but the series of events were:

1) Entered a Mars Orb, opened 7 straight chests that were all noises. The last 5 all gave a belligerent bang notice. 8th chest was Ka-thwacked.

2) Got another Mars orb, immediately back to Yughott Grotto and entered the encounter. When I entered, first chest was already a rainbow which was a loud thud. Opened it then opened terminal coffer, and confirmed a Murasamemaru as the loud thud. Didn't touch the 9 brown chests. SS below.

Anyone seen anything like this? Bug? Working as intended? AMAN Trove Pity at 7 straight noises?

Random, but not a bug

(*)As of yet to be called a bug

Working as intended. I would out the chance of that happening around 5%, maybe a bit lower.

More like .005%. We've seen very few SS of this after months of Aman Trove changes, it happens so rare, people think its a bug. Seems like a freebie the same way your Mars/Venus can refresh from NPC, which I still havent seen that happen once in dozens of orbs. Ultra Rare.

Weren't the orb refresh rate estabilished to be around 5%?
It sure has been around that to me! Then again I only have a small sample of around a bit more than 100 orbs, mostly Mars ones.

As for the rainbow chest at start I dunno, seems to me it's way more frequent than 0.005%.
More something like 2% or 3%?

Definitely closer to 5% than .005% for me. I've seen 5 rainbows on entry and had orbs refreshed 4 times from Greyson for what it's worth. I think the only thing I'd amend to my initial theory of how Trove works is that it's possible to get multiple rainbow/gold chests on entry. I've heard this several times now and I believe it's true as well.

On a wild guess, at least based on my experience, I'd dare say it's closer to 5%.
Keep in mind sometimes the first line of chests "loads" up on your screen when you're already at the line behind.
So if you have the habit to open one of the chests behind as your first and you're really fast, it could occur that you open the chest before you notice that the first line has a rainbow chest among them.

If you let something like this happen it could skew the data into letting you think its % is lower than it really is.

Im using mostly Mars and I had rainbow on start exactly once. I used around 60 orbs so far.
