Quadratic Continuum Dmg And Gear Sets

With the skill and lvl cap increase, most of this advice no longer applies. . .
Some Good hats:
MAvi KAvuk
Aias Bonnet
Fugacity Beret
Kensho Hachimaki
Teal Chapeau
Aurore Beret
Blu AF 1 & 2
NAshira or Homam Head
Enkidu
morrigan's coronal
etc,etc.. stack those stats
Depending on what you have and when, some are expendable and replaceable, however, most are macroed for specific situations.

A decent blu should prolly be macroing 6+ hats
It is handy to have a hat for each stat, haste, and each vital skill.
Magic Accuracy is perhaps the ultimate goal for gods..
Though don't fret if you're reliant on walhra, AF, etc.
The difference is minimal compared to timing and play style.

I'll take a smart naked blu anyday over an egomaniacal gearwhore.

PS- to the pseudo-antiTrolls... if someone ASKS FOR ADVICE ON GEAR... let people tell them what they like to use, FFs, without chastising them. Just compare notes and stop being catty little imps. :3

sorry to get off topic, just wanted to respond to the off-topic madness..

wut

There's actually quite a bit of that I don't and wouldn't carry around, but that one stood out.
Like, sky gods? Those would check VT these days as normal mobs. MACC is great for debuffs though, no doubt.

Yeah I wouldn't use that many hats. If I'm coming on blu it's as a DD or maybe headbutt lock. If they want a debuffer or nuker I'm coming blm or rdm

6 hats is probably excessive, and I'm the guy with 12 earrings, 7 necklaces, 7 rings and 6 pairs of pants...

I use... 8? I think 9, actually. Turban, AF2, Voyager, Teal, Darksteel +1, Coral +1, Cache-nez, Nashira Turban, Errant Hat. Granted I haven't used Errant in forever, never use Eyes on Me anymore. I could consolidate some of that with better gear, but still. If I had an augmented Wivre Hairpin would be 10...

O.o

I use 15 hats 10 hands and 8 legs now what ...8)

What mobs are these numbers based off? EP mobs? Weak to piercing mobs? I don't get 4-5k on anything not weak to piercing/damage in general, so that sounds odd.

Taru 85 BLU/NIN with 0 Blue Magic Merits, my skill isn't capped just yet, base STR is 65. Here's my gear set:



Shamshir +1 has STR+8 Attack+18 on it.

With Sole Sushi, I have STR65 +58 BEFORE setting any spells whatsoever. I'd probably swap in Alkys during CA, which would bring my STR up to +65. Add spells and cruor enhancements to that and I'm near +99 if I remember correctly. I have no STR+ Atma, but I have two lunar abyssites. Quite a shame, all my good Atma are stuff that my nuking jobs use.

Yet, I still fail to hit some high numbers. Not that I've tried very hard, but I think with 0 TP and CA+Efflux QC I did like 2600 to a Shadow Lizard in Abyssea-Konschtat. Is that normal? I've yet to try Colibri or Bats yet on BLU so I can't tell if I'm doing good or not.

I mean, my blue magic skill is still uncapped and I have 0 merits (merited 8/8 Elemental/Enfeebling) so I should probably cap it as I'm sure I'm missing a tier.

mind posting a better set jar? u know, be useful.

Let it be know, I haven't been checking BG for updates on the mods just yet. Lazyness, so I'm just still using my big 3 set.

Pretty sure its STR and VIT, he might be referring to where there are pieces with small amounts of STR where you can house more VIT that the VIT pieces would be better. But I don't know, it would've been loads better if he didn't just post some vague comment and then walk away >_>
By all means good sir, edjumacate us on them bluh magickz

Your text to link here...

It wasn't AoE Darkness before, from my understanding. It was just showing the Darkness on the targetted mob twice. It was only doing the damage once, and only to the targetted mob; the glitch was purely in the chatlog. And yes, it was fixed.

This is what I use for multihit spells; sub in Mirage Mantle and Mirage Shalwar if ACC is lacking. Works just fine, although I admit I cannot reach these high *** numbers that I see being posted. What gives?

done

posted a set on page 1 too.

Really? Nobody had any of that gear when QC came out, everybody just used full STR or big 3 because mods were not known yet, and I recall everybody talking about hitting ridiculous numbers even without specific gearing. So I listed my gear set up asking why I am unable to hit said ridiculous numbers with my big 3 set as they were able to. Thanks for the useless comment earlier anyway, what would I do without ya.

Everyone on about the Relic Hat, but wouldn't Voyager be to just about the best option when boosting fSTR by 1? Relic hat is +0-2 base damage, +5bATK, and Voyager's is +1-3 base damage, +1.5bATK, +2ACC.

Also, a moot point since Gnadbhod's helm was easy to get and superior to both.

that is a big3 set..

a skill Tier is about equal to 2 Fstr tiers meaning if relic hat is breaking a tier it would need to be about 8 STR on the head to = it not counting STR/dex mods but relic head is not needed for a skill tier if you get the new mavi tath

i finaly remembered why i *** that up its not CA that changes the D value its efflux that changes the D value lol..

Is there anything found how to make final sting decent?

A big three set including two swords, a ring, pants and a tathlum that were only released with the last update. Uber.

Edit: Also, I'm assuming you just updated that set? 'Cause relic head just changed to Anwig Salade when I quoted it lol.

Just had to lol @ saying Gnad's is easy to get 0.0 you can say Voyagers is easy maybe even relic but come on if it takes more than a 3 man effort then you really can't say its easy.

Voyagers is easy. I solod it the other day on my way to another nm.

Hell I solod it years ago for my main on blm.

he asked for a better set the real one i use i posted on page 1 <_< and that set is a great big3 set.

and yeah i update that set so i have links to gear i want lol

If that's gear you didn't have, but you were listing a better set, why did you choose lackluster stuff?



Bibiki Seashell since the damage of QC in question is CA+Efflux. Of course you can post new gear released with this update, but how does that pertain to my original question? I didn't ask for a gear set to trump the one I have. I just asked why my QCs were being lack luster when my gear is not that bad. (I only used Enkidu's over Alky's before I knew the mods)

Heres build I planned to use for Quad, I sold marine M boots 4+ ish months ago for a few hundred k now theyre 40k, theyre still good yea?
I know there is 4str 4dex feet I believe but these still 2nd best?

I got enkidu mitts I use for HB but everything else remains the same for all physical blu spells I do im not too big of a cannonball user. I assume I need 2x str magian swords, mavi tathlum, K bead necklace and a 6str ring/vulcan earrings. Anything else im missing? I own spike necklace too, just never rly have room to carry it, but ill still consider anything decent im missing.

I dont and will never own any af2 btw, may own af3 idk yet.

Here's what I use, and yeah, I know it's rather gimpy xD. I just don't have the time to play much anymore, so I don't really get to accomplish much aside from helping my friends out with stuff. I've hit 4.5k on EP iirc, and I hit one of the floor 80 nyzul bosses for ~3k with just Chain Affinity + Efflux. Not the best, but I don't think that's too terrible, either.

I also have to play on the xbox now, and I don't feel like making different gear sets for each individual spell, so I stick with this for when I'm casting. There are enough cascading macros as it is xD. I do use pallas's for Savage Blade, but I'm not sure if I want the -dex for some of our dd spells.

I wonder how many people are hitting 5k+ from having Dia II/III on the mob and using Benthic Typhoon first.
