Random Question Thread (FFXI Related)

I think you got whooshed~

/s

That's normal. Absorbs ignore things like sdt, dt, and resists (or maybe it just has much lower resist rate) maybe other factors not completely sure.

While it wasn't a win once got it to benediction then down to around 30% before losing hate triboxing rng geo and pup with another player doing sch and geo but wasn't all there so his geo did nothing and the sch was fusion onry and had to afk several times mid fight. Scripted T1 nukes. Yeah you will heal it some but that's way less than it's regen and I didn't have an autora going so needed to pay most attention to my rng. In the grand scheme of things healing it for a few hundred or even 1k every 10-30 seconds (hear differing reports on how often you need to) isn't the hugest deal when even with no support your rng can tp fast enough to keep up with a sch and iirc my unsupported TFs at 3k were doing about 30k but don't quote me on that lol

I mean just look at it lol

I don't exactly look at Sarrisa every day, And I honestly didn't examine it beyond, "not Super Blue version." Yes, carelessness on my part. I was remoted into my home PC from work posting between calls. And I've admitted fault. Cut me some slack.

I think you got trolled~

you can load up the "ohshi" addon to see what the NM is cast way better then using the log to send macro to a alt to cast the correct element magic.
might be able to use semmah's react addon to do it too but i haven't tried that since my play time is very limited now days.

I know there is going to be a thread tomorrow, but would like to be ready right after maint. What was the gimmick for goblins ambuscade.

Assume it's just a standard melee party like fomors?

The main gimmick was to separate the enemies to prevent their synchronized attack (Divided We fall). There was a needles and also a Dancing Fullers type move on higher difficulties. Sleep and EA/Scherzo didn't work.

That sounds miserable. So, 5 pets + cor each corner.

With all the power creep since last time they were up, RUN is probably completely immune to needles? Blus for Magic Barrier? Gravity kite or dual tank?

Pretty sure only main boss was high damage, decent hybrid set on DD can handle the other goblins.

It was rather simple because (as far as I can remember) the boss couldn't use his dangerous moves during Chainspell and was quickly killed. He will have three times more HP now however.
Dual tank was the most favored strat I think. Pretty sure a well geared melee can tank a single gob.

Does empyrean am3 proc on counter attack? I assume it does just want to make sure.

It doesn't.

Does anyone (anywhere) have a list of the trusts in alphabetical order, instead of by job?

yeeah it'll only take a minute to sort, but if you have it already, /lazy

What are most people using Resin for? DT-5% or is the status ailment resistance anything worthwhile.

Think we learned that the status ailment resistance will only be 5% on NMs (1/2 the total). If that helps your decision making. Heard several RUNs like the PDT10 to open up slots for other unique RUN benefits (more meva,resist+,parry+,etc.).

PDT 10 is the best option imo. Exceptions being specific builds that want parry/resist/shield/counter.

DT -5 Just use Moonbeam.

Depends on the job really. And even then you might eventually want a couple of options. But yeah for non pet jobs most useful seem to be ailment, pdt, parry. There might be some neet counter builds and idk spell interrupt rate might open up some other slots? Always possible you might want some hybrid melee cap with DT and offensive stats eventually

So not really a random question but Margaret and Kukki are not supposed to be in the Spring extranvaganza, but BG has them there.

Also, yo, ffxidb (the website) is totally broken.

Hmmm. Might be a dumb question... I'm not sure... but today I came back from a brake and I was wondering why my BLU got on both Hands with dual wield exactly the same accuracy but no matter what i equip, even equal swords there allways is a gap of arround 5% in attack between main and Sub Hand. I cant figgure why... anyone know about that? never heared of dualwield cutting... attack.

Offhand weapons only convert 50% of your strength to attack, as compared to 75% of your strength for mainhand weapons.

Is it safe to use ffxiview post update yet or did the brd icon change break it?

didnt know that, thanks alot.

It's not.

Casting Mazurka generates an invisible icon and casting Hymnus makes me crash.
Tried 3 times, same result three times in a row.
Had to resort to rolling back to the original SE file 57.dat, waiting for Caradog to release an updated version.

Good to know. I'll remove that safe comment then if thats the case.

Was about to ask that myself, any update on that?

released about 12 hrs ago via guildwork-

New xiview

Not crashing like sechs described and mazurka has its usual chocobo icon.
