Regarding Divine Caress-

It grants a buff(stacked with gear) that is consumed each time a mob tries to reapply the debuff that was previously applied.

Quote:

The effect will also wear off after the enfeeble is resisted one time (or additional times with the enhancing equipment listed below).

I guess my question is, would it still be possible to get a resist via gear, food, other buffs/debuffs without consuming a charge? I assumed it worked similarly to how aquaveil consumes charges, but never tested it.

Yes, but it also divide RP for everything that can get it, so you can't make for example two Rostams and neck 3x faster, if you equip all of them at once.

Can WS dealing zero damage create a skillchain? That I guess will also do zero damage, but will be able to be magicbursted upon.

Zero damage still opens/closes skillchains

Truly? So let's say there's a monster that is currently taking zero physical damage. You could open and close a SC with SAM for instance, SC would do zero damage, but mages would be able to magic burst for damage?

Hmmmm...

Yup, if you have TP. Sam with meditate can do that even if mob takes zero physical dmg, or zero dmg from slashing.

I've also done weaponskills that do zero damage but the skillchain actually did some damage. very little damage.

Not sure why, but I've done it.

Since the damage of the skillchain(not including WS) is a reaction between elements, I'd always assumed it was elemental type damage.

Anybody has a Battlemod settings with ALL damage completely filtered out?

Basically I just wanna see buffs/debuffs wearing, landing, monster readying X move, and that's it.

craft mats and meteor/arise used to be okay sellers, otherwise I've no idea beyond farming a pulse?

As far as i can see only carrier's sash really brings any bank now, rest barely break 100k and since everything not craft mat is rare its limited to 1/person

EDIT: forgot about the points, enmity ring is still an easy mil seller

I didnt consider all the stuff you could buy with pts is npcable. That explains it though.

That cant be efficient by rmt standards tho?

I used to run Legion religiously when I could still craft as someone without a finished shield, and use it to farm Penelope's Cloth and Staghorn Coral. NPC'ing the rest of the junk and the points earned per 30 min run spent on 1k rings resulted in about 450k/hour outside of what was worth AH'ing or using for crafting.

is there any definitive guides on multiboxing--getting new alts setup? my experience has only been using /send and alt+tab without lua and would be very interested to know how 6-boxers setup their keyboard shortcuts or if there's other addons that I wouldn't normally use on a single account.

Look for a post by Rooks switchmon
It's an ahk script you can repurpose so you are using a little more of a refined approach to alt tab.

I posted one recently that uses the xinput library to repurpose this to the controller.

I use controller alot so I constructed a lot of shift macros on my controller to do things like follow unfollow, bolters rolls, send sleep tid mix this one one with your unfollow macros for better results.

Tp party, w/ distance by Kenshi is really helpful for telling where your party members are at all time if you lost one etc

No ones 6boxing proficiently without third party tools to heavily automate things. No not even him.

2box: sure, no question about that one.
3box: there will be a small performance hit, but it can be done reliably using send and creative macros.

6box: lol no, not happening just via windower and addons.

I've tri-boxed on a 75 era private server but obviously there's not nearly as much going on there. I'm not opposed to using any addons. Thanks to this game I'm somewhat proficient with scripting and that was long before gearswap lol. I'm just not trying to reinvent the wheel. Work smarter, not harder.

After coming back, Just noticed for 27k hallmarks we can make ambuscade shiny weapons now, is this critical or worthwhile for any specific jobs or just a stopgap until a RMEA, or skippable

The answer you get will largely depend on who you ask, but many of them are useful.

Karambit: Very good blunt option for many jobs. Pre-REMA at best for MNK
Tauret: Excellent Evisceration dagger, not very good end-game for true dagger jobs outside of that. Can be used for the MAB in certain magic WS builds
Naegling: Absolutely bonkers great for almost every job listed on the sword. Better than REMA for many jobs
Nandaka: Basically completely useless
Dolichenus: Very good axe. Probably eclipsed by REMA axes, but not by much
Lycurgos: Best/close to best Gaxe RUN and DRK get, access to WS is nice. OK for WAR, but beaten by REMA Gaxe
Drepanum: Not good at all for DRK, maybe it has some use for BLM, WAR, or BST, but they shouldn't be using scythe anyway
Shining One: Amazing for all jobs who can use it. Outdone by some REMA on DRG, bis for the rest for piercing/polearm specifically
Gokotai: Nice pre-REMA, OK for regain when you can't get TP (Ongo) but in normal circumstances, go for REMA instead
Hachimonji: best GKT NIN can use, but very meh for SAM
Maxentius: Incredible for BLU, GEO, melee WHM (lul), RDM. Maybe some of the others, haven't messed with it
Xoanon: Very good for MNK and BRD (Shell Crusher), probably decent for some others.
Ullr: bis for RDM macc. Good for cheesy strats involving shooting on THF, NIN, potentially RDM or WAR
Khonsu: Great idle grip for mages, also top-tier macc. Could be used on RUN but -enmity is rough, I wouldn't use it in most circumstances.

Shining one is a great alternative weapon for Sam and will out preform most non rema options

Above list seems spot on

I made a Nandaka for my mage mule to see how it fares, and yeah, “completely useless” is a compliment. Id trade it back to the taru for just the pulse weapon if i could. Montante+1 is easy to get, free, better, and thats not including the nearly free augment.

agreed above list is very on point- i would upgrade Maxentius to Naegling level for the moments where it shines. Yes, there are fewer of those moments than Naegling, but for situations where RDM and a few others need a blunt option, it'll shock you for how good it can be.

Dolichenus: Very good axe. Probably eclipsed by REMA axes, but not by much
Lycurgos: Best/close to best Gaxe RUN and DRK get, access to WS is nice. OK for WAR, but beaten by REMA Gaxe
Drepanum: Not good at all for DRK, maybe it has some use for BLM, WAR, or BST, but they shouldn't be using scythe anyway
Shining One: Amazing for all jobs who can use it. Outdone by some REMA on DRG, bis for the rest for piercing/polearm specifically
Gokotai: Nice pre-REMA, OK for regain when you can't get TP (Ongo) but in normal circumstances, go for REMA instead
Hachimonji: best GKT NIN can use, but very meh for SAM
Maxentius: Incredible for BLU, GEO, melee WHM (lul), RDM. Maybe some of the others, haven't messed with it
Xoanon: Very good for MNK and BRD (Shell Crusher), probably decent for some others.
Ullr: bis for RDM macc. Good for cheesy strats involving shooting on THF, NIN, potentially RDM or WAR
Khonsu: Great idle grip for mages, also top-tier macc. Could be used on RUN but -enmity is rough, I wouldn't use it in most circumstances.

Yeah this list is pretty spot on. I use Karambit fairly often for DNC as the BIS blunt option and can do surprisingly decent damage with them.
