Why do you ask question, which I answered with details..

Most do Domain Invasion for bead farming

For what job?

That's what I thought.

Aeonics seem like the next best option in terms of ease, so I guess my next question would be:

What would folks recommend as the best way to farm beads for a trio if we have moderately decent modern gear.

I assume its spamming some geas fete stuff, but what's a good target to spam, and how many beads/hr do you usually average doing it?

Looking for folks input on what, if any, jobs have a "next best" weapon option that:

1. Isn't an "Ultimate" weapon (To be specific, I count anything that costs more than maybe 60~70 mil to make, and/or takes more than a week or two to get, so I don't count SU5 Dynamis weapons here, they're fine)

2. Is not an Ambuscade "pulse" weapon, because it's competing with Naegling as your "freebie" pulse weapon you can take and you'd be pretty silly to pick anything other than that

3. Mogbonanza weapons (not reforged) are fine (said character hasnt turned in their token yet, so could take one)

To be more specific, if the "next best" non ultimate weapon for a job is an ambu pulse weapon, don't even mention that job.

Thus I guess the simplified question is: are there even any jobs that have a "next best" great option other than ambu pulse / ultimate.

alright i might as well ask an odd question here:
what if you arent attack capped? or at least not able to trigger the PDL from the prime? is stage 4(or i guess stage 5 as well) still going to hit harder(i'd imagine skillchain would add more dmg alone?) with mumei compared to fudo with masa?
<<< is lonely solo man sam. so PDL does nadda for me

Interesting to say the least.

It'll be fun to watch implode though. It'll suck, but it'll be funny.

Surprised you're still playing Lutia. Most members of Eden don't play anymore, save a few.

Nice! Let me know if the freezing persists (even if it's less frequent) or if a specific windower addon or plugin is giving you trouble and I can take a look it.

Well, it's time to dump your gil. Buy all the loot and flee to another server. Will cause a mild case of inflation in Asura while the yell bots will find themselves on the 2nd and 3rd most popular server as SE start trimming them off.

Of course, congestion will be the same as the main bots are still there

My friend back in 06ish (Cannabis) reported his own name offensive and they let him change it. So you have that option too. lol

Ok, so do you guys wanna know why the Skillchain system is the way it is?

Well, initially in 2002 and for most of 2003, only level 1 and level 2 skillchains existed.

This means that the level 2 and level 3 interactions that most are familiar with and can easily remember were not present in the game at all.

Look at the level 1 Skillchain chart on BG Wiki. That's all that there was, and initially, skillchain damage worked in a vastly different way, and could not be resisted whatsoever.

Many weapon types would also only have a single type of skillchain element across any weaponskill. Dual type skillchain elements were somewhat rare, and only added in late in 2002. Most weaponskills also had entirely different Skillchain properties, and said properties used to interact differently.

Some prime examples being:
Penta Thrust used to have Tranfixion as well as Compression, and so could skillchain endlessly with itself.
Rampage used to have Detonation as well, so could skillchain endlessly with itself.

Priority system with SC properties was also not a thing initially, so a lot of dual property WSes used to make level 2 SCs that no longer do.

TL;DR - The system got changed dramatically when they introduced level 3 skillchaining, and the priority system for level 2 SCs along with it. Initially there was an intended system for every opposite element to be able to SC endlessly like Detonation/Scission and Comrpession/Transfixion still do. The idea around the system was the combination and duality of all elements. This changed particularly with level 1s to accomodate the higher tiers and to limit player progression, as original SCing was seen as too powerful and made early game too quick.

When I sat down on it in Office Depot on a random date night that went there, it just really sinks in. It's super plush and supported my lower back in a way that few chairs do. I found it very easy to actually lean back in, and unlike actual gaming chairs (/ewww) my head didn't hit the head rest before my back touched chair. I can't stand typical gaming chairs at all. They're made for mutants.

All in all, don't knock it until you sit in one. Shaq hasn't played sports in 14 years. He's been doing endorsements on Papa Johns and other things, and even got sworn in as a police deputy in Georgia.

Its not too late to sign up for Mortal Kombat, the least played game every year!

Prime stage 4 gets double damage first hits about 30% of the time.
Stage 5 is triple damage first hits 30% of the time.

Emp AM3 is stronger for white damage but Prime is way better than Relic.

Once you have Stage5 GKT you can put all your other GKTs in storage:

thank you all for the input and information. I think I'll go forward with pushing Kusanagi.

2 3 4 are really easy and you should learn them
It enables more damage and more group synergy

Some jobs not just Sam really crank on the second, third fourth ws

Taking a lvl 2->3 is a massive jump doubling the light is worthwhile even with a bad ws.

I forget what the mnk used to use as the opener

Fudo> kasha = fusion + frag(shoha) = light + light(fudo) = double
Asuran> hf/rf/dk = fusion + frag(vs) = light + light(vs) = double

You can also substitute frag for savage blade as stated previously
With all the skillchain bonus gear and the cumulative the light off the fusion is massive

14k attendees at evo vegas this year, 4k entrants for sf6 alone. not bad for fighting games, starts friday for anyone interested in watching.

I use this thing
For all those skill chain shenanigans

its not so much illogical as asymmetrical, which is just as bad imo.

If you want mesos to drop, you need a stage 4 in your inventory.

Its nowhere near that lol

I think your point is valid. Unfortunately, the whole system is very unintuitive.

Few people can read the SC chart and infer correctly what WS is required to make a specific skill chain.
Even fewer people can do what you did, which is to establish that elemental properties of Weapon Skills don't offer hints as to what Property Skillchain is invoked.

I wish I could make it make sense. Dodik did a good job of explaining it directly from the chart ...but I don't think anyone can explain SC changes using fundamental elements (as it pertains to flipping of light and dark)

It's really not all that complicated
Whatever your fudo does with masa it's about double.

In limbus it's 22-30k vs ~52-62k

Sortie upstairs is easily 52k vs 99k

Yep it's literally just a data/icons folder with 32x32 pngs. In fact I started with just copying over the buffIcons folder from the XIVParty addon and modified some of the icons from there.

If we're allowed to set our own icons for this I'm.. I guess I was already sold but damn.

Yep! Getting there!
Last thing I've added was tracking the different tiers for the debuffs, and redoing some icons to make them easier to understand what they are.
Just updated the test lab discord with the latest build with that stuff in it, but I think it's probably good to go though.

Out of the two pieces the head gets slightly more macc on it than the body so id use that if you do want to cap delay.

Putting the numbers in the crunch-o-matic 9000 sim, Shinsoku is still tops when you have enough dCHR

With all respect your anecdotal observations are as meaningless and you provided almost no information too. Sim says 20% higher dps with capped attack. No skillchain included. No SPs. 10% when attack uncapped. AM3 for both. Spamming Fudo and Mumei.
