Your ACP choices thread!

Re: Your ACP choices thread!

At least on PC there are many times macros simply don't respond*, so if you are going to press the macro key more than once then make sure you will at least cast the spell even if not all the equip swap macros register.

Yup and it pisses me off every time ; ;


EDIT: We have several Relic Owners and stage 4 owners in Dynacore, so I've seen them used every run I go to. They're powerful to be sure, but they're not such a huge improvement over non-relic owners that simply having it will make you the best and that's what I object to; they're the pinnacle (well, Mythics more so I guess) of what's wrong with this game. They don't have to be super godly broken the way Apoc was but there should be a substantial power boost and not just a marginal increase in performance (Spharai is about 10% better damage than Destroyers which is utter bullshit)


Back on topic, tried the fight last night and got our asses handed to us trying the ranged strategy. We've decided to attempt a zerg run next time, just trying to determine how many SAM & MNK we should use >.>

It's not necessary to input /ma Blizzard III <t> on each macro you hit, you will just end up getting the 'unable to cast spells' messege twice. If you want to make sure you are hitting the correct macro, you could put an /echo command in there.

I just want to make sure the spell starts casting with the first macro I hit. If I hit it one too many or one too few times on the last cast, I don't want the second of lag while I tap through gear swap only macros before the spell starts.

Re: Your ACP choices thread!

Didn't read entire thread. I'm thinking I'd just get my RDM a ghetto Haubergeon for WSing. Only other option that has had any sort of weight with me is the 2% DA over the 10 Attack, but, eh, not really too sure about that.

Re: Your ACP choices thread!

Hmm, Acc and DA for WHM and RDM melee... Think it would be better than Goliard for WHM or RDM or SH for RDM? I still can't decide if I want to try to get melee bodies for my mage jobs, or try to get something that is more useful in my normal party functions.

*Edit - Actually, I would probably be served better going atk/DA instead of acc since I've got enough acc in PCC, Potent/Life belt, Snipers, etc...

This is false; you never have enough Accuracy. It is like the dakka, or the pylons, or the cowbell, of FFXI: you simply always need more of it.

Re: Your ACP choices thread!

I don't know if you were being serious but there absolutely is such a thing as enough accuracy. Not only is there a point where increases in accuracy start to do less for your damage output than other things, there's a point where increases in accuracy will stop giving you returns altogether. For a mob 5 levels higher than you, if you have 30 more accuracy than required to get the mob to start checking "low evasion" any additional accuracy will not actually increase your hit rate.

I was half-serious. I'm well aware of Armando's guide, as well as a 95% Hit Rate cap. If you know for certain you're at or near that cap for whatever you're fighting, then yes, more Accuracy would be a waste. Until then, though, more Accuracy is very much your friend. Of course, you don't exactly want to discount Haste, either, but the ACP bodies don't exactly offer Haste (for balance reasons one would assume), and thus that bit's a moot point as far as this part of the thread is concerned.

Re: Your ACP choices thread!

There's so many options for my SAM, BLU, PLD, and soon COR.

I'd give the Mirke a Quick Draw delay - 5 and MAB+4 for COR
Fast Cast and Accuracy for BLU
For the Nuevo
SAM...well...i already have a Haub - can't do much there.
PLD is obvious - Fast Cast and Emnity +5.

Re: Your ACP choices thread!

Fast Cast and Accuracy for BLU

I'm not too familiar with high level BLU but what's the point of the Fast Cast? The recast timers? Melee spells are already lightning-quick to cast.

Re: Your ACP choices thread!

Utsu timers for solo maybe?

I didn't really consider any combination of mods on wardecors for blu to be a significant upgrade on Magus Jubbah +1. If that item is attainable for you then I'd suggest tailoring your aCP piece for a different job.

I didn't think I'd find someone here who knew what that meant.

This is why I went with the Coselete instead, the Wardecors just doesnt have anything that can trump either the +1 AF or the Relic Body for either TP or WS/spellcasting IMO.


As for the "Volteccer" it looks familiar, just cant place it >_<
