lvl 60+ DRK/SAM and Absorb-TP

Re: lvl 60+ DRK/SAM and Absorb-TP

Speaking about Colibris, does anyone know which spells is not going to be reflected?

If DRK cast Absorb-TP on Colibris, what happens? Will the Abosrb-TP be relfected? Let say the Abosrb-TP is reflected and bounced to someone (PLD or NIN or anyone that is on the top of hate list), will TP be absorbed back to DRK, or the Colibris, or no effect O.o?

tdh: maybe I missed something... what's so high tp-gain about a drk/pld/thf combo? Doesn't seem any worse than 3x ridill WARs. >.>

It was late when I responded to this last night, and I didn't catch your actual meaning. lol

Meanwhile 3 Ridill WARs would feed a mob a ton of TP, PLD, DRK, THF set up has Triple Attack, 2 people with Double Attack, and a Scythe that feeds mobs ~17%TP a hit. So if I Double Attack the mob gets ~34% TP, THF/NIN could Triple Attack back to back and let's say her Acc is 80% so, so that's roughly 30 to 35% TP to the mob. So in one possible volley, the THF and DRK/WAR could feed a mob 70% TP. So right off the bat the damn Puk has 70% TP not counting PLD's damage or TP gained from magic damage.

None of that includes a Skillchain. Dancing Edge is 4 or 5 hits? Every 3rd fight a Guillotine? I seem to Double Attack a lot during Guillotine (100% Acc on Guillotine is 17%TP w/ Vassago's. I've had a handful of 19% returns.), so that's anywhere from 35% (Just 2 hits land.) to 85% (All 4 hits and 1 Double Attack proc.) TP fed to the Puk just from Guillotine. Here come the Aoe Flash, which I hate! But I hate nothing more in my life right now than that damn knock back move they do.

with every piece of +AGI and +R.acc barring Peacock Charm (2 macros worth of gear switching), my thf still only hit with bolts around 50-70% of the time.

Stop right there. You know that xbows have a very low delay (work like daggers, they do) So when I say spam, that's what I meant.

Here's how you pull as a THF. No, don't leave the pulling to the PLD or NIN. And you really don't need a RNG if you already have a THF. Well, if you have a THF that's not lazy.

THF >> (Sleep Bolt) >> Roots the mob.
THF >> (Sleep Bolt) >> TP + Roots the mob.
THF >> (Acid Bolt) >> TP + Def Down
THF >> (Sleep Bolt) >> TP + Roots the mob.
Moves a few paces back
THF >> (Any Bolt) >> Pulls mob.

In this scenario, the JP THF in my party always had near 100% TP at the onset (After initial SATA on tank) By the time I have TP, she's already done a DE (Safe to do with a pally) and sitting on another 150% when I have guillotine ready to go. Sometimes, this is so overkill for areas where you're VT chaining.
