The Last Dance: Gearing Paradigms For A New Age

I continue to fail to follow.

I just updated my stuff on my new computer:

I run FFXI at 800x600 and I oversample to 1024 x 768.
That's pretty much all I do, except I turn ambient lighting off lately because it looks prettier.

So might be coming back to game for maybe a month.
Haven't been here since end of march. Anything new-ish DNC related?

Nothing obtainable for DNC, I think.

Miodio Gloves, if they weren't around then.

everybody has thaumas now D:

Your point?

back in march you didnt have them in your sets, if he hasnt been following this or any other nyz threads its not that hard to get the gear

Oh, I thought that was a response to Miodio. Sorry. ^^;

Really since march only thread I've been on the regular was the LOL thread. I'm sure when PSO2 finally comes out i'll be on that full time but haven't been playing anything lately so figured i'd coem back for a bit


And know I don't have Thaumas :P
Can't even recall where that comes from.

Last thing I recall doing was attempting Rex lol

Sylow

You should stop making Mjollnir and buy my expensive Hexed -1 instead. DNC has higher DPS than a melee WHM anyway, even when we're /WHM and not using Saber Dance. Any situation that accommodates a melee WHM accommodates a DNC.

My Hexed -1, please buy it. I don't have time to Salvage anymore to feed my alchemy addiction!

I've already turned in stage 2. :<

Wasting chump change < Hexed Doublet -1!

I would rather a Hexed Jacket -1!

Get a Saio!

I never do Provenance Watcher anymore.
I have it listed on wanted for 20mil in my Bazaar though, so maybe someone will bite.

I . . . don't . . . think any of the new content SE has introduced lately has been remotely well thought out or reasonable. It's all just really freaking sad.

Shinies we've seen after abyssea:

1) Neo-NI : Took forever to come out, stats on final armors were reduced. People that beat it almost uniformly use 3P modification/hacks. If they weren't, this event would be essentially unbeatable and thus not worth doing.

2) Abjurations : Almost all of the NQs are worthless. Some of the HQs are good unaugmented. Some of them are borderline and would rely on the augment (like T.Body, though I'd like it just for Regen and would white box it just to be a boss about it).

3) Buyable gear : Most of the melee stuff is equal to or slightly better than past stuff. It's mostly sidegrades (Aluh Jambiya vs. STR Thokcha, for instance) or minor upgrades (Miodio Gloves vs. Brego Gloves).

4) Provenance Watcher : The gear actually isn't that good. Tessera Saio is the best Exenterator body, but it really isn't that mindblowing (and it's ugly). The amount of silliness necessary to kill PW is huge and the odds of a drop are really low.


It's kind of sad that I'm excited for Limbus/Einherjar reworks specifically because SE has revealed that they aren't changing very much of it.

I'm not excited for anything :(

I liked Limbus back in the day, and Einherjar rework = I get Terpsichore finally.

The two Limbus zones that they demoed on the test server were pretty standard meat+potatoes strategy, and when I tried them they looked doable with a lowman (3~6) group.

Sylow, do you have a DNC .XML?

Rebumping these questions since I never got an answer and I finally got Toci's after about 500+ kills.

Oh yeah, I have Wanion Belt now, so I use that in place of my Warwolf.

And it seems I didn't think to save of my plugins and .xml and such so now imma have to do a lil backtracking lmao....


This i'll be fun lol

Would it be better to tp with Postestas bomblet or Hagneia Stone? I know your sets show potestas but that stone is looking awfully nice atm^^

Potestas <-->> Charis Feather* >> Thew

*Can be the best option in certain situations.

Thanks to Jinjo for this:

Murzim stuff (New homam that DNC can wear)

Murzim Zucchetto
DEF:46 HP+42 MP+42
Enmity-6 Haste+5%
Automaton: Haste+6%

Murzim Corazza
DEF:75 HP+53 MP+53 Attack+15
"Store TP"+6 Haste+4%

Murzim Manopolas
DEF:30 HP+35 MP+35 Attack+5
Haste+4% Increases critical hit damage

Murzim Cosciales
DEF:49 HP+36 MP+36
Ranged Accuracy+16
Ranged Attack+7
Increases "Rapid Shot" activation rate

Murzim Gambieras
DEF:29 HP+35 MP+35 Attack+12
Enmity+8 Haste+3%

Kinda disappointed. Not really, I knew it would be crap since PUP was on it.

The only thing that's sort of good is the hands, but Miodio could still potentially be better.

Murzim hat is kind of funny.

Murzim Corazza is unarguably worse than Thaumas Coat

Murzim Manopolas would have to be pretty potent to be any good for a TP set compared to other Haste hands. They have no STR on them, and losing fSTR hurts. Amusingly, they're pretty worthless for THF because of AF3+2 and AF1+1 hands.

http://wiki.bluegartr.com/bg/Patentia_Sash is intriguing. It is probably useful in a Marches build, but not outside of that.

Murzim pants are obviously worthless.

Murzim Gambieras are worse than AF3+2.

I think we gained the least from this update of any so far. A single incredibly situational sidegrade that might not even be better than our other options.

SE just ... has no love for DNC.
