The Brakki Dragoon Guide

Re: The Brakki Dragoon Guide

It's conned from the crafting direction rumour, really the same principles could apply, but due to the resist rates varying from mob to mob, it's hard to make a truely fair test to experiment this.

EDIT: Ding ftw

Re: The Brakki Dragoon Guide

You'd have to test it with mages with identical stats using identical gear on identical mobs, and even then (as you mentioned) resist rates would play a huge part in skewing the data.

Re: The Brakki Dragoon Guide

Yep, and it still wouldn't be a fair test, as we all know mobs have varying level ranges in the same area.

Re: The Brakki Dragoon Guide

Well from what I see, for spell casting part, people has been parsing their damage for years and years. Most bonus from gears down to percentages have been discovered already. If directions really have an effect, you think the forum and all the populations out there would remain quiet? This is the first time I've ever heard something like this too... and don't forget, BLM is not BLU... it's been in the game since the beginning.

Actually it's pretty easy... turn north east and cure yourself. See any improvements compare to turning north? Now that I think about it I should be turning south while using my Rampage since it's an earth base WS. And fighting Imps which are dark base I should make them look north east too so they become weaker.

VK n00bs, make sure your crabs are looking south west.... so they become easier to kill.

For crafting I don't think staff matters either. But who really knows the truth except SE?

Re: The Brakki Dragoon Guide

Exactly, and are they going to say? No.

Re: The Brakki Dragoon Guide

Guys it's the same thing as facing the right direction when you use a weaponskill. The only thing is you can't really blame melee for not facing the right direction because you always have stupid tanks that move it. But look at every good HNMLS. When they do skillchains they line up correctly or else they wipe to AV.

Re: The Brakki Dragoon Guide

How on earth is facing in a compass direction in any way similar to facing the mob when you're using a weaponskill?

Answer: Not even remotely. Your BLM spells will still go off no matter which direction you face, but if you're not facing the mob while doing a WS, you will miss. Unless you're talking about something completely different, at which point you should really go into more detail, because right now you're just kind of rambling.

Re: The Brakki Dragoon Guide

He means run around the mob so that you're both facing the "right" direction and facing the mob. It is both possible and stupid. And I can't believe there have been this many posts responding so such an obvious troll post.

Re: The Brakki Dragoon Guide

Yeah, but what does that have to do with mages? Not that it matters, since this thread is obstensibly about DRG.

Also, I'm mostly just having a really slow morning. I probably shouldn't have kept this going so long, but here we are.

Re: The Brakki Dragoon Guide

I'm kind of amused.

Might i suggest keeping on topic though? We all can predict where this is going to end.

Agreed, and understood.

So...DRG, eh? Good times!

Actually I've loved DRG from way back. I've just never been "allowed" to level it by my friends and LS members. It's why I managed to fly through BRD WHM and PLD, but all of the jobs I wanted to play with (SAM, DRG, DRK, MNK) were left in the low 20s.

...........Brakki just stop talking, every time you do, you get stupider and stupider....

Direction has nothing to do with WS or SC or Magic, the only thing it has effects on is crafting, you really thing SE would put in a direction calculation in to everything element based? thats crazy stupid

anyway back to DRGs.......

yeah I have loved DRG since FFIV with Kian ^.^ with leveling I am going in a FFIV style way level DRG first, then to DRK, then PLD, and then SMN just because I want to :p

Re: The Brakki Dragoon Guide

Crazy stupid it is, but this is SE we're talking about.

mmm yeah you do have a point lol, would not put it past them, but still, it would be unrealistic with the current battle system to make WS and SC and even magic, effected by direction of the player

Re: The Brakki Dragoon Guide

Not really when you think of all the other random crap they put in, like spamming dia on AV did something, and making the wall trick before they even implemented that region of Al taieu. Sirry SE.
