Do the killer effects apply to every mob? How des that work.

Similar to the job ability Warding Circle, which purportedly gives +15% damage bonus, -15% DT, would this set not give +16% acc/atk/evasion for the majority of mobs? Does this make this gear potentially extremely good? Has anybody bothered to test it? Example the legs would be quite good, especially augmented. edit: Sorry didn't see new page of post Offline

Guyford said: » So don't use this set when you're fighting a nin that has access to Mijin… doesn't make the set useless. This is correct. Ideally you would probably have a PDT Focused set which involves Mpaca and filling in DPS items where you could. The legs having SB II +5 is also really good too and certainly makes it a competitive option vs. Kenda. The Meva is still important though and I think everyone should have a Meva set. Its how you can avoid nasty debuffs and how you can avoid taking a lot of unnecessary AoE damage. Most of the time you are in hyrbid, not because a mob is punching you, but because the mobs do dangerous TP moves. Ramuh.Austar said: » No, it's just intimidation unless you equip something like the founder's piece which augments it to increase damage dealt and reduce damage taken. Are we sure about that? Because otherwise there is no other way how the evasion is that high. The evasion is roughly the same as it was to the malignance set in the video everyone is talking about, so I don't really see your point.

How des that work. Works in Omen on the bosses too. Empty Killer (exists but don't know if killer effects gear includes that) for mid-bosses and Arcana Killer for the main bosses. You do a buttload more damage and take less too. That's why DRK is nice as a DD in omen. From BG wiki: While the Job Trait variations vary in potency via level, the innate boost for monster affinity is: 5% intimidation rate to enemies of the prey species. Verification Needed +5% damage dealt to enemies of the prey species. Verification Needed -5% Special Damage Taken from enemies of the prey species. Verification Needed The damage reduction from Killer Effects is calculated as a multiplier after gear reduction totals. The damage bonus from Killer Effects is calculated where the affinity term exists in a damage equation or as a direct multiplier where they don't exist. The bonus from Killer Effects cap at +50%. Verification Needed The potency of Killer Effects gained by Job Traits is halved against Notorious Monsters, but Killer Effects gained from gear is unaffected.[1] https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Category:Killer_Effects You don't get increased damage without a corresponding circle or a piece of gear that augments killer effects. The stuff you quoted is for mob vs mobs, so bst pets or monstrosity purposes.

The stuff you quoted is for mob vs mobs, so bst pets or monstrosity purposes. AFAIK You actually dont get damage from additional Killer Effect with Circle too. Circles only gives damage from Circle alone, they dont activate damage from Killer Effects like Founder's body or BST empy+1 body. Offline

Nariont said: » https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/33470/the-sealed-dagger-a-ninja-guide/213/#3569815 A very important message for the SAM forum as well. TP Bonus on Mpaca is broken. Please read the linked post and the next few after it. Isn't directly linking a post like that misleading? Someone might just read the post, get the wrong conclusion, then leave before going 2 posts down where it's clarified that the exact opposite is true.
Mpaca's Cap is broken as of today FYI. Hope that helps.
Check back next update. Edit: APril update fixed it.

It said the helmet worked but a couple post down it said it doesn't. Offline

He made a mistake the first time and forgot that he had fencer TP bonus.
Anyone have a current up to date dps spreadsheet for sam?
AF+3 body, staunch+1, Defending ring, Gelat+1 ring, 10% PDT on cape is 38% which is a good base.
Loricate torque, r15 odnowa earring, Flume belt to finish it off when you need a full 50% ItemSet 379113 Swap in kenda+1 for acc/meva needs and the above mentioned DT pieces when you feel you need the full 50% Asura.Buffyslyph

BiS is relative. you can use your fudo set to decent results.
common swaps for shoha are flamma feet, niqmaddu ring and lugra earring +1 for similar stat + multi-attack. can look at bg-wiki or bippin's nodes. not much seems to have changed in this regard. ItemSet 374789
Hands have swapped to Nyame Path B. Will Swap Feet/legs to Nyame once closer to R19 Edit: Body to Nyame at R19 Cerberus.Shadowmeld

Why would you swap to Nyame body at R19?
Nevermind, you get the WSD bonus with overwhelm no matter what. I'd still take the much better auxiliary stats and the overwhelm TP bonus that Sakonji has over 3% DA though. Offline

Mpaca head once its working. Nyame Hands and Feet. Rank at which they win depends on augments. Taint said: » Mpaca head once its working General question here, I was under the impression Doji and Masa were pretty neck and neck but both different uses, masa zerging, doji SCing, is this accurate? More so I have AG Masa and been seriously considering doing Doji, would this be worth it or a waste of time?
I use Doji for absolutely nothing -- it's just a toy and not even a good one. Masamune wins for pretty much everything.
