Lux pugio offhand instead of twilight knife? Whats the difference in white damage/ws frequency between the two? Just looking at base damage its no contest, just wondering how far the spread is vs giving up quad attack % switching to lux.
I just got a lux last night and part of me wants to cling to still offhanding twilight for the dagger procs. I mainhand aluh jambiya and use these daggers for cor/rng/brd/dnc on dynamis/trashmobs/old nyzul/lolabyssea when meleeing.

I would say lux since you are gaining 8dmg, 10dex and 4 crit rate.

That would be 251. You can use this link in the future if you need to know again later on for a different level:

A birrion.
It hasn't been quantified that I know of. MAcc tests are a pain in the ***. Perhaps you can get a more experienced scholar than myself to guess for you (relative to a staff, etc.).

Are there zones that are the best for getting T2 VNM abyssites? I've tried Tahrongi today and went 0/20-25 both times... Bad luck or is this really how it goes? All this work for a T2 and it changes to a T3 almost every fight...
Zone shouldn't make a difference. Just ease of finding T1's. I like La Thiene, Flux 2 and Flux 3.
Its luck. T1-T2 is prob 10-15% change rate. T2-T3 is 25% chance.
But i've seen alot of T2-T3 taking 20+ kills before as well.
I've farmed approx 450 souls with my wife, this is still eyeballing. But T2-T3 is easier than T1-T2.
I meant for VNM. I never had a problem farming Aby T2s in LTP, but man this is just awful for VNM.
Ya outside T1-T2 has been always rough for me. I keep all my T3 pops so i have all T2's locked. I don't have to remake T1->T2 ever.
I've always wanted to know if you had both a T2 and a T3 in the same zone, which one takes priority for reads/spawning?

Whichever is closest, the abyssite will tell you, it'll glow feebly, faintly or solidly.
Solidly indicates it'll be a T3, faint is a T2 feebly is a T1.

Whichever one is closer to you. You can tell which one it is by reading the dialogue when healing. "Feebly" is T1, "softly" is T2, "solidly" is T3, "strongly" is T4.

I'm so glad I asked that... I've been tossing away all my T3s every time I need to spawn a T2 mob all this time.

I've started working on a THF trial offhand (Praxidikai) and was leaning toward the 2-4 attack one but is that one worth it over the others?

2-4 hit Magian weapons are generally weak for DPS uses due to their high delay, low base damage and poor hit distributions. Plus, THF gets a crazy amount of TA anyway, I don't think you'll be getting much of an increase in TP gain, if any, using it over other lower delay options.

Bump D: I've seen them drop 2 of the same item, and a random junk item, but I don't recall seeing 2 different HQ drops on the same kill, but then I've only done each boss once so far.

So then between the last two options being
+24 dmg double attack +11
or
+19 dmg occasionally attacks twice
I'm guessing the first is better?

I'm guessing the first is better? If you HAVE to pick between one of those, I'd go with the first. However I recommend trying to make an STR Thokcha if you can afford the Flame Geodes.

Lakshmi.Itchyboto said: »do ppl still play on PS2? would like to see "we are removing all PS2 limitations!" They did the survey to test what systems people use, and then they announced that the new expansion will only have PS2 compatibility in Japan.
I bet you can't guess where the majority of the PS2 players are.

Random RDM question... The enhances enfeebling magic on the Estoquer's Sayon +2 only works on "enfeebling magic" correct? I realize it's in the description but I'd just like to make sure as bio is an enfeeb but is dark magic so my assumption is no but if it does, I'd be curious as to what it would improve.

Does the %WeatherElement variable in spellcast also work for storm spells, or is it for actual weather only?

Yes, if you use %WeatherElement with a storm spell up it will return the element of the storm spell.
