Let the .dat mining begin!

Re: Let the .dat mining begin!

That reminds me, that Ruler weapon :

Ruler
DMG:44 Delay:264
Enhances "Resist Sleep" effect
Enhances "Resist Silence" effect
Enhances "Resist Bind" effect
Enhances "Resist Gravity" effect
WAR, RDM, PLD, DRK

Is probably WAR, BLU, PLD, DRK instead huh?

I want to find out how to get this. Looks to be the best BLM head piece now for damage.

Re: Let the .dat mining begin!

How do you figure? The standard MAcc bonus is embarassing compared to an NQ staff. MAB gives marginally better results than with an HQ staff, but again, without the accuracy Scholar so desperately needs. The enmity is ok, but I can't remember the last time I was in danger with hate on SCH. The thing that really gives me the red-ass is I have to have the right weather up. That not only negates SCH's MP and cast-time efficiency bonus, it actually penalizes them.

Unless Aftermath lasts two hours and really ups the stats, Tupsimati looks to be a waste of time and a status piece only.

And that weapon skill? Reduces MAB? How

BTW, replace Enmity-20 with Enhances Elem. Seal, and you have the BLM Mystic. Without the weather requirement. Nicely done Square-Enix, nicely done.

If 27/30/33 MP every 3 min breaks you most of the time, then there are other issues you should be worried about. Obi+weather and Macc is fine, Klimaform if needed as well. -20 Enmity frees up a ton of slots for -enmity to easily hit the -50 cap, and be able to safely cure IV-ga/Erase-ga your PT and others in crap situations occur little hate, not to mention being low on the hate list the entire time anyway. Aftermath, once someone actually unlocks one of those weapons and finds out the duration of the effect, then it will really see how nice these are.

But I'll never get one, so I'll just stick with my HQ staffs (though I wish they could make a synth that combines them into 1, 100% success 8 NQ->1 rainbow staff, 8 HQ->1 prism staff, same with Obi...)

As its model is a Yagudo head, i would assume from one of those new BCs you get access for killing the generals

The RDM>THF bit earlier was a joking reference to someone screwing up the job list they compared the bit map to last update. The correct job order (I had to pay attention to this in designing my equipment database) is: WAR MNK WHM BLM RDM THF PLD DRK BST BRD RNG SAM NIN DRG SMN BLU COR PUP DNC SCH

Re: Let the .dat mining begin!

In any case, WAR RDM PLD DRK swords are not uncommon (although according to FFXIclopedia, the highest level previously existing one was Gold Sword at 62).

264 delay is high for a longsword though, that's well into bastard sword territory. Fortunately 44 DMG is also high for RDM usable swords.

[Raydeus]

Re: Let the .dat mining begin!

It would be nice if you are fighting skeles and it's a cheap sword, otherwise with such delay Mensur (while solo-duoing) Mighty and even Anelace +1 would probably give you better results.

Unless the resist effect is really awesome that is (yeah right.)



PS > Either way 1g says it will be an expensive for-looks-only kinda sword no other job will even bother with.

From the name and the names of some of the other new items I'd say it looks like a drop from one of the new stronghold NMs.

Re: Let the .dat mining begin!

Still, the MNK and RNG weapons are an epic failure IMO.

I must respectfully disagree. While I don't think that the Glazenfaust are as good as they could be, I wouldn't go as far as to say they are "epic fail". Lets review this. 75mnk/war with Glazenfaust. with the augmented focus, double attack, oat, and kick attacks, he would be hitting faster than thfs, and harder than mnk w/ Destroyers. theres a new ws to play with an the aftermath dealie is even more of an incentive (granted the weapon granted ws have left u wanting in the past, hopefully this will not be the case this time.) and after dealing this considerable damage, im pretty sure a mnk could find a good use for an enhanced dodge

but thats just me

No, it's not just you Saiben, Malacite is just . . . he complains a lot. >_>

(BTW, I jumped when I saw your name. Welcome to the board, Saiben!)

[Malacite]

Re: Let the .dat mining begin!

It does fail and hard.

The WS is a 1-hit critical hit (oh yay) and it seems now that the OAT is part of the Aftermath, which means you'd need TP 1st.

Meanwhile a MNK with say Spharai (which at this point is still easier to obtain) will be out damaging the hell out of you from the higher base damage, bigger Asuran Fists and the random procs for 2.5x normal damage.


And barrage accuracy on the xbow? retarded. I was really hoping it would enhance bolt effects, which would have been amazing but no, SE chose to be retarded. I don't see anyone except someone who's really bored and already has Yoichinoyumi and Annihilator going for this.

Oh noes! Now they have to wait 40 seconds before they gain a constant and consistant OAT effect! How horrible...

Meanwhile a MNK with say Spharai (which at this point is still easier to obtain) will be out damaging the hell out of you from the higher base damage, bigger Asuran Fists and the random procs for 2.5x normal damage.

And the Mnk with OAT on it's weapon will be TPing circles around the Spharai Mnk. See, it's a trade off.

How is a Rng doing more Dmg with Xbow bad again?

[Malacite]

Re: Let the .dat mining begin!

Gun and Bow will still clean it's clock, that's how (since G. Colibri are practically immune to acids and resist the bejesus out of holy bolts)


Also, I'd say the chance to land a kick for potentially 1000 dmg > OAT (depends on the proc rate)

plus as I said, you need to use the new WS for that, which as it stands looks like shit (a 1-hit critical? WTF... and I doubt the mods will be as good as Final Heaven, which is also crap tbh)

[Ziero]

Re: Let the .dat mining begin!

The combination of increased Snapshot, increased Barrage Acc and increased Racc from Aftermath means the Xbow will be one of the best TP gaining weapons a Rng could get.

And the same could be said of the Mnk weapon which will enhance Focus while granting Acc and OAT.

While they may not beat the old Relics, they were never supposed to. But they're still both incredible weapons.

Wait, you're *completing a mythic weapon* in order to beat up *colibri* better?

How fucked up is that?

Maybe, just maybe, meriting on the weakest mobs in the game was *not* the primary intended purpose of completed mythic weapons? Ya think?
