I also like to abuse Panta
I wonder who is obsessed with who.
Rady is on top of the list
He is top only because thia way we can use the acronym RAN, what is a good advice to follow if you see any of the RAN in the street.
Now, if it was Rynja and Nady, then Rynja would be the worst, and Nady the third one.
But each of those are equaly bad, just in different dimensions: |

Been trying my best to be an absolute piece of ***on FFXI AH and I didn't even make it to top 3? WTF IS THIS?
You only recently added a profile pic.
Still too fresh for this season evaluation.
But picking on Alfania would reduce the ***-metric to enter the rank |

The only people buying the whole "AI will write our code for us" are those who are either trying to inflate stock prices, or have never had to use "creative solutions" to solve hard problems before.
Or predict that there is or there is going to be a problem in the first place. AI sucks for that, and this is what makes companies go bankrupt to begin with.
So AI is actually really good at teasing out patterns from data. But I'm talking real AI, not the silly chat bots most people think it is. About a year and a half ago I convinced our CIO to implement an APM platform as a combined infrastructure / application monitoring system for greater operational visibility into WTF is going on. Datadog ended up winning the contract for it, one of the few downsides was they do not have a premade endpoint management system and instead leaves it up to the customer (aka me) to build one. Myself, python, gitlab and ansible in a corner and in a few weeks I built / wrote a full management system for it. AI could not remotely do that, it wouldn't even understand the question because it can't do context.
Now that we have a thousand data streams pouring in, the built in AI can analyze those streams to determine problems and anomalies prior to them happening. This massive amount of telemetry data is simply unmanageable for a human, but watchdog (datadog's AI) is able to crunch through it and warn us when something is amiss prior to there being a service impact. I will then assign that action tile to the appropriate dev or one of my infrastructure / operations guys to review and remediate. |

What's gonna happen is a workforce of 100 is going to be downsized to the top 20 people, and they are going to be supercharged with powerful AI helpers.
The same way automation always happens.
A farm used to be a farmer and 100 workers, now it's a farmer and a bunch of machines and 2-3 people working for him driving them.

Most can say is that it'll be job specific. They said AF and Relic +4, we can guess most the stats. |

“I’d say maybe 20%, 30% of the code that is inside of our repos today and some of our projects are probably all written by software,”
That's not 20-30% of code written in Windows is from AI. It's also coming from the CEO, which I'd give about .01% likelihood of knowing what this actually means or where it came from, he probably heard it in another meeting and wants to make it sound like they are doing something they aren't.
AI/LLMs are very good at writing some types of code, when it comes to scripts for short tasks, they are very effective. They are awful at anything complex and worse at anything written in C/C++/asm. Yes, this means actual programming, not devising and creating something from scratch. In the sense that I can ask questions from 3-4 LLMs about a FOSS project it's been trained on and all the answers are wrong, the code it spits out totally useless. Microsoft has a LOT of code projects outside of just Windows, they use a lot of managed and scripting languages that AI could conceivably write, but the moment they get into larger repos or project sizes - it's nearly impossible to get anything useful no matter how much you prompt it.
"Written by software" does not always mean AI, either. Test cases are automatically created by test suites in many situations. Many native language frameworks write code during the build process, this is a practice that dates back over 30 years. They probably have some tasks automated this way to generate code, sure, but anything of importance still has a developer behind it and since Windows is predominately native code, it's unlikely any high percentage of it is written by AI except maybe documentation

My guesstimation for LS>SB would be 25k>50k>50k light = 125k damage, where FB2>FB2>light would be 30k>30k>30k light = 90k on the same mobs with the same buffs.

FBII doesn't self sc, you do FBII>SB. So, it's FBII with tp bonus vs last stand without. We need some Crawler simulation to determine this debate.
FBII>SB with mainhand OSIII vs TS>FB with mainhand naegling, offhand Gleti's say. TP bonus equipped permanently for both (I keep a merit in it). These options can be min-maxed all you want, but in a world where the WS Wall exists and a COR knowingly takes Exeter (a terrible option by almost any metric) over OS3, I'm not sure what to say...
Fast Blade 2 is a good WS. It's not Naegling+SB, but literally nothing in the game is. More good Fusion options is a good thing. |

I think you're missing that a COR should ALWAYS have a supply of DREAM bullets on hand when doing anything of any import. Usually 1 stack is plenty sufficient thanks to reduced ammo consumption effects, but even if not, then just make 1 or 2 extra ahead of time.
I dont have exeter and wont really comment on that, but I would suspect that Prime or Aeonic will be physical king, and of course DP for leaden/magic. Moly will suffice for a character like your pocket cor.
Am I right that onion sword doesnt bring anything of interest to the table if I already have Naegling?
Id still use something like Blurred+1 for offhand?
Is fast blade II even something to think about, or does it vastly pale in comparison to exeter being a phys weapon for "dont do magic dmg and dont melee" scenarios?
FBII is very useful for linking SC's while also being really good damage. It's not going to beat a fully buffed Naegling Savage Blade, but it has sufficient scaling that it'll work out fine. |

Reasonable informed statement
K123 is well informed on this topic and has received expert guidance that supersedes any knowledge you may think you have.
As such it is best to not bother engaging on the topic, your first hand experience with the technologies simply shows you did not use it correctly or to say it plainly "it's a skill issue".
not to put words in his mouth or anything, they just seem to fit well in there. |

the main reason I consider BLU is for things like nyzul and einherjar, abyssea and dynamis farming, refilling merits for HTMB, etc. These are all weak and can be Aeolean Edged (assuming you mean old Dynamis). No real reason BLU is better here IMO. |

Holding out hope we get this sorted before Onion Sword VII comes out. It's like the FFVII Remake, only Aerith doesn't die because Barrett was using an Onion Sword and had lower DPS
Limbus is going to release a new Garlic Sword with Swift Blade II.
Don't fcking tempt me, I've been wanting Swift Blade on RDM and BLU for ages now. It's the only other sword WS with Gravitation property and unlike Requiescat it actually deals decent damage. It's not a bursty WS like Savage or Fast Blade II but it does enough to justify using in a setup for a SC. People can try it out with the Hepatizon +1 weapons to see what I mean. |

Yeah, he is definitively part of the evil FFIAH triunvirate:
1. Rady
2. Alfania
3; Nynja
The RAN Theres a 5 page thread of people fighting over Onion Sword and Kalunga, and you pick three people who have zero posts in that thread as "the evil FFIAH triumvirate"? Its FFXIAH btw
nvm, its 6 pages now.
It jumped 3 more pages OVERNIGHT

Quote: I trust Thorny, Maletaru and Simon above the majority of this forum posters, However there seems others that like to clash with them to prove them wrong, and that is ok, and they don't realize that they waste majority of readers time with their post.
So is it worh it or not to get Onion Sword?
YES, Worth it!
You're wrong. People here DO understand the math. I have specifically explained why fast blade II is a weaponskill that excells on lower level mobs, but scales poorly into high level content where mobs gain a significant amount of defense and -dt. The differences between the mechanics of a F-TP transfer multi hit weaponskill versus a single hit scaling weaponskill matter a lot on high level content.
Fast blade 2 has an 80% dex mod and an fTP cap of 5.0 at 3k. If both swings connect, that's a total of 10.0 f-TP. However, only the first swing benefits from WSD. So you have 5.0 FTP enhanced by nyame and all your wsd gear, and 5.0 that is not. Multi swings significantly help, but they do not get WSD bonus either.
Savage blade is a 1 hit wonder with higher stat mods (100% total between 50% str and 50% mnd) so 100% secondary stat mod, and at 3k it scales to 13.75 f-TP. For savag eblade, 100% of that damage gets boosted by WSD.
This makes all the difference on high level content. This is why fast blade II will do very high damage on lower level mobs but far less on HNM type mobs. This is why I wanted people to post actual experiences to showcase real live examples. And they have. And I trust their numbers, because it's backed up BY the maths.
Oh a few things are being mixed up here. Neither Savage nor Fast Blade have native attack or defense modifiers, that makes them target neutral. High defense, low defense, doesn't matter it's the exact same pDiff multiplier. Naegling is a weapon that adds an attack bonus to any weapon skill it uses, vorpal blade, fast blade, circle blade and yes Savage Blade. DNC doesn't get access to naegling so that is outside this discussion. Next is mods, unless a mod is ungodly terrible (Requiescat MND anyone), 80% of a single is usually more beneficial then a 40/40 or 50/50 split due to how stats are on accessories. Having said that, STR is pretty much the best mod for physical WS's to have so it's not bad to have 50% of it in a WS.
Next is that V25 Kalunga is a very bad choice for a test. Fast Blade II is like Savage Blade in that it absolutely sucks at 1K TP, you want to fire off at 2K to make any real impact and 2.5K to get big pretty numbers. This makes TP bonus equipment practically mandatory for using this WS. COR and RNG use their Magian weapon, WAR has Ikenga, Fencer and Warcry, Dancer has magian dagg.... ohh wait .... damn. Dancer's best offhand for this build, a weapon that doubles it's WS output, isn't really viable due to Kalunga's -100% resistance to piercing. Off hand strikes will deal no damage and general no TP.
Seriously stop using crappy Gaol V25 boss's as examples for things, those fights cheat so badly that they should never be used as examples of how things really work. Dyna D boss's or many a melee sortie would be better locations. Hopefully Rimbus :p ends up not being more open to non-standard builds.
I absolutely agree 100% with this - especially since what you said are facts.
THUS WHY I WAS SURPRISED AT PEOPLE TRYING TO MAKE ONION-DNC ARGUMENT ON ----------- KALUNGA.
A fight with an already pretty viable strategy that benefits slashing damage, high attack and burst damage (40 and 25%).
It's like trying to showcase Laphria on Aminon. You are gonna have a hard time justifying its use in a fight where WAR cannot engage, making Warcry and Mighty Strikes almost useless compared to DNC GP, CLIM and Reverse. |

It's worth mentioning but I'm pretty sure Kalunga will overwrite Defense Down from Shell Crusher or Armor break when he uses Blistering Roar, so RUN would need you reapply it with Gaxe and rayke after aura to maintain as high of DPS for other DDs as possible. Sims don't account for things like that in their DPS estimations, so whatever DPS it is showing will obviously be lower at certain points.
Defense down is something you open with and run with as long as possible, but once roar happens just ignore it because you can't overwrite it and instead need it to wear off and you reapply. The RUN is usually busy trying not to die due to the dispel + physical hits, I wouldn't expect them to be able to switch to GAXE, get TP and apply armor break in a reasonable amount of time. |

It's crazy how fast it's progressing and how little our governments are doing to get the populations ready for being put out of work enmasse. Governments move slowly. There was a time when technology moved slower than governments. Steam was the ruling technology back then. |

Define early to middle content?
As I can see it, the use of multiboxing is for Omen bosses, DynaD, Ambu some months maybe (usually need 4-5 chars though), and sortie AECG at most. Anything prior to this content is weak or is Aeonic NMs?
