c-spam cannot afford



They can be. There was a monk's profile from one of the world first groups that had a 180 chest with five grade V materia in it.

Basically this. If you cannot overmeld 5's, it makes the mainhand i170 crafting tools pretty garbage because it only has 1 "free" slot. The website I use is giving me the indication that you cannot; hence, I'm asking for information if someone actually knows whether or not it's possible.

The website may not allow forbidden melding on the grade V materia just because they don't know the success rate yet, because nobody's reported it. Remember, the chance of a given meld's success varies with the grade of materia involved. I doubt it's because you can't actually overmeld grade V materia.

For reference, in 210 tank armor will only mitigate almost 43% of damage. Saying that foresight is only (43 x 1.2 = 51.6) 8.6% mitigation is technically true, but since rampart is only taking true from (57 x .8) 45.6, it's only worth 11.4. If 20% = 11.4, then it's mitigation efficiency is .57. Foresight (8.6) / .57 = 15% mitigation. Foresight is 3/4 of a Rampart in 210... Without tank stance/inner beast

Thanks for the explanation. Just a quick question: what does the 57 (from the 57 * 0.8 calculation) refer to? Is that just an arbitrary damage number?

The amount of damage you're taking after defense mitigation at i210 is 57% if you're mitigating 43% of damage with defense.

Where does the additional 14% come from? Is that Grit/Shield Oath adding on multiplicatively to the base mitigation?

Sorry, I meant the 57% mitigation you mentioned vs. the 43% base mitigation from defense (57 - 43 = 14). I might just be misunderstanding the equation badly.

Yes, but you need Pugulist to become a ninja anyways. You might want to start out in Ul-Dah, do the MSQ until you can airship around and then switch to Rogue. It'd save time at any rate since you'd have Internal Release earlier.

Yeah that makes more sense, start as a Pugulist so you'll have that requirement knocked out.

So a boss hits you for 10,000 base damage hit.

Without any kind of mitigation other than the defense on your armor, that attack will hit you for 5,700 damage (approx) at i210. That is because 4,300 damage of that base 10,000 was mitigated by your defense. So you're taking 57% of the damage from any base hit, and you mitigate 43% of the damage from any base hit. Two ways of saying the same thing.

Lucrezia got A3 down the day after Elysium. We'll probably start seeing streams later this week of A4, but as far as I know nothing has been leaked yet.

More importantly, if they're new to tanking, they might be anxious because everyone thinks they are an rear end in a top hat bad for not being able to hold threat, or might be going through great lengths to keep aggro but bumbling and flustered and letting other stuff go wrong, which is a thing I've certainly seen on occasion. Spreading out threat to make their job easier might be nice, though it might be best to just say something to the effect of "don't worry, you are doing fine but the gear difference is making this hard, hit the other monsters and build threat on those. I won't die tanking one of these things."

From two pages back, but this has absolutely been my experience since I started heavensward content. At least now I understand why people were so amused with all my apologizing for dropping threat. :unsmith:

Guess you'd have to hold a DWT and tri-disaster just to see if you get thrown in quarantine? Probably also would need to use ifrit for the fight too for the slightly more damage without enkindle.

There's a lot of armor variety, yeah. Plenty of full plate armor sets to make you look like you just walked out of a museum armory display.

This game also lacks that oversaturated Warcraft-styled design standard we've seen in so many other games. So don't expect ludicrously huge spiked pauldrons. The biggest pointy armor piece you'll likely see is a summoner's horn.
