But in practice it would probably be less if you're crafting them yourself, since you get experience for that too.

Just the damage. You'll usually run out of TP anyway, so doing it faster isn't much use.

i am tim! posted:Hey tank chat, just have a question about when it's good to drop into DPS stance while tanking. Back in HW I would play Warrior and drop into Deliverance all the time. Defiance doesn't have the damage received reduction and the extra DPS meant I could bloodthirst crowds and keep my health full on big pulls. I've swapped to Paladin for Stormblood but I'm finding myself cautious about dropping Shield Stance while doing big pulls because of losing out on that 20% damage received reduction; trash can have some serious damage in big packs, after all. I generally don't drop tank stance on trash, since it gets in the way of the white mage casting holy 15 times in a row, or whatever. With that in mind, it might be worth trying if you're with a scholar. Although, if you do it, you should just click off shield oath. The extra GCD to turn on sword oath won't be worth it.

Jinh posted:Also a good tip is to tank the boss close to the center of the arena as well as close to the line. His knockbacks won't move you as far since you will hit the wall, and it lets you move north which is handy sometimes for melee. You can just have him close to the wall and run in front when you get targeted for even less distance. Only stormsplitter is a cleave, so you don't really have to worry about anything, except for certain cloud spawns that can make it awkward.

Ainsley McTree posted:I know I'm bumping a post from 10 pages ago, but do pro whms really not use cure 1? Is the optimal play to skip it entirely and just go straight to cure 2 when all your ogcd heals are unavailable and regen isn't enough? Cure 1's advantage is mp efficiency, which is basically a non-issue for WHM at this point. You may as well use it when time is not a factor, though, like during phase transitions.

Minrad posted:iirc is something like a 200-300 potency boost over using it on suiton. Try 30. 200 potency is more than the difference between suiton and doton to begin with, and you have to use katon instead of raiton. Or, well, it would be, but doton is bugged, and benefiting from dripping blades right now, so there's an extra 64 tacked on. e: or, well, it's all doubled because TCJ, but still.

Josuke Higashikata posted:The abilities that give you the stacks are just better than it. It has no real niche. If Med 2 ticks give the stack, it might be alright but AoE damage isn't so dangerous that a Cure III and 1 stack PI is going to save anything. The 60s cooldown ain't so useful either. It's basically just Assize but not as good but even more so than it was before. It's an instant, free aoe heal on top of any aoe heal. Bosses do back to back aoe damage like all the loving time. It's very obviously good.

Last I heard it was 166.7 per 1% det, which would put the crossover at ~1350 crit (on your gear, so ~1714 on the character sheet). Also don't forget that the marginal value of a linear stat decreases the more of it you have. Those numbers are for the extreme case where you have no direct hit/det at all. ChaseSP posted:E: Also if you are a bard you probably always want crit anyway due to procs being a big part of current bard gameplay Yep. Even ignoring the value of procs, just having a 10% crit chance buff up all the time bumps the value up a ton. VHGS fucked around with this message at 17:46 on Jul 18, 2017 |

Minrad posted:is this accounting for brd's 2% crit buff and ast/scholar's crit buffs? Nope. Temporary buffs you're on your own, but just bard buff shifts it up a bit. Like 100 less crit to pass direct hit.

Thundarr posted:I already have 1600+ crit in 310/320 gear and a Bard in my static so I'm probably good to keep stacking crit forever unless my gear upgrade path causes me to lose a ton before I get it back again. That's +1600 on your gear, so you'd need 1964 on your character sheet. (I really wish DET had the same base amount so we didn't have to compare them that way)

Umbreon posted:I recently hit 52 as a botanist and have been messing around with collectibles, but I think I'm doing something wrong. All the guides I see say to use "reveal with a hit" to start the rotation, but that doesn't seem to be an actual skill. Are they saying I need to not use that one revealing skill for 300gp and instead manually guess at the out of reach slots? Items are always in the same place, so you don't need to guess. But yeah, you just click on the slot to swing at it, and it'll reveal if you have enough gathering.

Umbreon posted:So if I know what's in a slot, I just click it, put on the collectors glove, then proceed to appraising but without the 300gp deficit? Yeah, exactly. It costs a gathering attempt, but you can always get more than one of those out of the gp once you get to 56 or so. Unrelated, whoever was complaining about crafter yellow scrips the other day, I agree, but also try Blacksmith out. You need some other classes for mats, but it gives a pretty good amount and doesn't take any random drops. I was able to gather up the mats myself and craft enough for about 1500 scrips in under 3 hours.

cheetah7071 posted:Mindjack is finicky as gently caress in O3S. Though it's now the only mechanic I still can't do consistently. Progress! It looks like it sends you exactly two square lengths, which is 1/sqrt(2) -- about 71% -- of the diagonal of the 2x2 area you have to work with. So if you stand roughly in the middle of the square next to your tether guy, and run along the diagonal directly away, you'll end up very close to the opposite corner. That's what I do every time, and I've never died to it.

cheetah7071 posted:So it sounds like, in theory, I could stand in the corner of an adjacent square and walk sideways instead of diagonally I'm pretty sure at least one person in my group does that. The only downside is that if you're slightly off on the angle you can run into the thorns and die before you can correct with an unlucky server tick.

Head Hit Keyboard posted:Is there even a dodgeable mechanic in this game that doesn't have one of these two things? I can't think of a single one. Some of the Optical Sights in A11s are like that. There's no circle and the actual spell that hits you is cast by invisible actors.They did say they learned their lesson, though. Also, I would guess that the cast bar doesn't finish when Titan's fist hits the ground because that would mean he starts the animation before the cast finishes, and the system they have in place makes that difficult, if not impossible.

The one exception is using raiton as a minor optimization when you know the fight well enough to determine that it won't cost you a GCD, but it doesn't come up very often.

Ytlaya posted:Hm, I'll see how things go later, though I feel like the jutsu-based skill (Trick Attack) would inevitably get thrown out of sync with a non-jutsu based one (unless, at some point, you delayed the use of a jutsu in order to guarantee you could use Suiton right before Trick Attack comes back up). In practice duality will get thrown out of sync from having to wait for AE, but it doesn't really affect your decisions with it. Trick Attack's interaction with Ninjutsu's cooldown is complicated by Ten Chi Jin and Kassatsu, because they reset the cooldown, and because you want to use TCJ to get your suiton when possible. If you're not sure, it's generally easier to just hold ninjutsu to avoid delaying trick, until you have a clearer picture of the fight.

Ayy, got 'em. Seems like the advanced table plays pretty much like the hints will tell you to. The basics are there, but it has some holes that are pretty noticeable even to me, a scrub. The riichi judgement especially stands out as questionable in a lot of cases.
