Re: Wind accuracy?

I'll chime in here.

I've personally tested Slow II vs Hojo: Ni, and Slow II does overwrite it. Casting Hojo: Ni afterwards results in "no effect."

As for Gravity, it's really overrated. Take the 3 Kings path in Limbus for example, where the KB clone there is immune to Gravity, yet you still kite it perfectly well. How many things that you regularly fight are kited anyway? KB. KS99 KB. Alastor Antlion. Kirin(people straight tank him now). The death tonberry(honestly straight tanking is probably just as good, his spells are interrupted easily). Jailer of Temperance. Jailer of Faith(always easy to land). The thing about Gravity is that no matter how good your gear is or whether you have capped merits, HNMs build resistance to the point where it's useless and ES + Gravity lasts 5 seconds.

What do you actually Silence that Wind ACC might help on? Ouryu. Suzaku.

Wind ACC might be useful for a main job BLM who merited Elemental instead of Enfeebling. If you want to land wind spells and all others too, cap Enfeebling first.

Re: Wind accuracy?

One nitpick. The wind acc merit wouldn't be active unless your main job is 75rdm, so even the blm wouldn't get use out of it.

Re: Wind accuracy?

Releena, what are the job set up to straight tank Kirin? He still can kinda kill my LS with stonega.

Re: Wind accuracy?

LoL, I don't bother casting Silence on anything outside of EXP.

Re: Wind accuracy?

My NIN friend can straight Tank Kirin. He straight tanked Bahamut. He straight Tanked Promathia. My friend hates it if there is something he can't straight tank in one way or another.

Hell, he tanked Faust with ease also, it's all about being a versatile NIN.

So I guess leveling BLM to 75 so my RDM can take advantage of potency merits is out of the question?

Unless I'm misinformed, fraid so.

Merits don't transfer across between jobs, so no.

My level 75 Bard job doesn't cast healing spells any faster despite my 5 levels of Cure Cast Time Reduction merits on WHM75.

Part of me says "Boooo!" to that, the other part says "Whew! There's that much less meriting I gotta endure!"

Just to show that similar numbers are possible for Taru WHM. This is my current max HP/MP gear as WHM75/BLM37. Note that I don't own RSE earring, RSE +HP belt, or Gigant Mantle, and only have +10 HP merits, but my numbers are still quite respectable.

The stats shown are with no food effect; with max HP merits and Carbonara I'd be well over 1200HP/MP.

I don't know if it's possible to get such high numbers on RDM, however. RDM gears are notoriously low on +MP, particularly armor, so 1150 is probably the practical limit without food, though I suppose you could use Crimson gear to make up some of it.

Re: Wind accuracy?

I have maxed ice accuracy, that was a no-brainer for me (helping Paralyze, Bind, and Blizzard all at once? YES PLEASE) and those merits won't be going away... but I'm still debating whether to max wind accuracy or Convert recast.

I'm leaning towards Convert, mainly because the stuff that I'd really want to land Gravity on tends to be NMs and they tend to build resistance to it, which probably isn't something having more accuracy would get around =/

Just make sure you have a WHM in every PT for Curaga. Outside mages should help heal too and everyone should be gathered around Kirin to reduce -ga damage. Try to get at least 1 BRD per PT for DDs. I would go with NIN/WAR or WAR/NIN tanks since Kirin is still capable of dishing out a lot of physical damage.

One nitpick. The wind acc merit wouldn't be active unless your main job is 75rdm, so even the blm wouldn't get use out of it.

Yeah, what I meant was a BLM main(guess this should have read: first job) would probably merit Elemental and wouldn't be able to merit Enfeeble for their second job RDM. Therefore, people that fall in that category might have a reason to merit Wind. With maxed Enfeeble merits, I don't find Wind ACC to be all that useful.

Re: Wind accuracy?

When I first saw that I read it as "+1500MP" and my jaw literally dropped. Then I realised how dumb I was, but 1500+ is still so awesome. I have 979MP at the moment and am urging along these MP merits so I can break the four figures. ._."
