I've never been to a protest, they would have to pay quite a bit for me to stand in this Texas heat.

How relevant are the low/mid tier sets here now? Trying to gear a new Dark Knight and have been looking around for things not using Nyame/Sakpata since I don't have access to those or the ability to augment them and probably won't for a long while.

The content itself is good normie content, the time investment is not. Hopefully we find out how to get points quicker. |

Legs has nothing better than Nyame. Less STR, less AGI, less attack, same wsd.
And no DA, no SC Bonus, no MAB (Aeolian Edge), worse defensive stats if you ever get caught in it (no DT-, less Meva, less Def)
This is a list I made several hours ago.
PUP Relic hands as priority 1? Yeah, it's the WSD+12 piece... but what WS are you using that for on PUP? (the +3 wasn't used either, even when that had most WSD in slot) |

Even easier, just make it not reduce TP gain.

i can't hit ***either way let's be honest.
The good thing about Diamond Aspis is I get 15 additional seconds of Sharpshot. Immense power. |

The -50% DT is fine with me If we were in an environment with fixed monsters... ok, I agree.
But here we have "dynamic" scaling from 119 to 130.
I'm totally fine with DT-50% for 130 mobs.
Not so much for the 119 ones.
The DT should've been one of the scaling stats of those 119-130 mobs, imho.
Considering they already have to kill a plethora more mobs at 119 and that it's clearly focused at returning/beginner players, the 50% DT seems a bit too much for those.
Jm2c of course.
So this is part of the illusion of power and progression. Because your numbers are bigger you think you are "better", but realistically you have barely moved from the starting line.
Example is if you hit for 10 damage and the monster has 100 HP, it takes you 10 hits to kill. Now you've gotten upgrades and levels and hit for 100 damage, 1000% more damage, YAY MOAR POWAW. Except the monster now has 1000 HP and it takes you 10 hits to kill it. Congrats you have gained exactly zero power, no progression, that entire level up / gear up was merely an illusion.
In our specific situation, a monster has 200,000 HP at -50% DT vs a monster at 400,000 HP at 0% DT are mathematically identical. But because FFXI has a hard damage cap of 99,999, the first scenario is preferred because the monster could be killed in two hits while the second scenario has a minimum kill time of four hits. The monsters having 50% DT but less HP means the effective damage ceiling is higher, and it's obviously this is what SE was thinking when they implemented it. Instead did this instead of raising the damage ceiling beyond 99K.
Being solo and not having a party just means both scenarios are functionally the same for you. You aren't penalized for it, you just likely won't be able to take advantage of having an effective 200K damage cap. Well not without lowering the monsters level, a single player with level 119~121 monsters should still be able to hit 99K's SC with multistep.
FFXIV does this exceptionally well, no matter how much item level you gain you're never actually any stronger on current content. |

We had a split alliance last night.
Original party went in at i125. Second party joined at i130.
The i125 bar filled up faster on each floor than the i130 bar. The i130 party then went and changed to i125 and they filled up at the same pace.

I like how the operator says Glory to the Zilart, it's such a little thing but it actually says a lot cause it make you think about what it means.
You tend to see the game as being just Vana'diel, then you realize Sea isn't part of Vana'diel as it is now and it's a locked away part of the world that did not follow our timeline at all. Sea is where the Zilart empire carried on, and none of the other races even exist at all there. Nothing changed for them there.
So these automatons you talk to were created by the Zilart to run this scientific operation / battle simulation of these monsters they were researching and all they know of is the Zilart Empire. The Zilart as people are mostly gone now (evolved into beings of light), but the machines and simulation they created remains.
Kind of reminded me of the TNG episode arsenal of freedom.

I assume a knights of the round set isn't too different from savage blade, except different accessories?
Basically just drop TP bonus earring.
i need to see some PLD/RNG Flaming Arrow sets |

We’re gonna need a Whereisdi for limbus lights if they’re staying up for 20hrs.

To be frank, I'm giving a wide berth for benefit of the doubt here myself.. Some of the posts on the first page are fair criticisms of why make this guide when the Community Guide on BG already exists.
Wanted to respond to this here cause I’m pretty sure I’m the one that called that into question mostly to begin with. When this guide first appeared on the forum it was very much a long list of stuff that just looked straight copy pasted from bg-wiki, and the sets made no sense. Tetsouo explained he hadn’t intended to make the guide publicly viewable, and it wasn’t ready or complete.
Since the guide has been updated and completed I would change my opinion as I believe he has collected a good amount of information from the community and testing to have created a pretty well designed guide. Still can’t say I 100% agree with all the sets. Like I still have no idea why anyone would ever want to wear 5/5 empy as the absorb chance is just not worth it, but that’s also a set that’s pretty unimportant so, meh. |

Yesterday I watched the breakdown of Taxi Driver, Scarface, Django, Inglorius ***, Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead.
I also watched the breakdown of a brazillian movie Bacurau.
The last one is awkward. It is like a Quarantino-like, but feeling like a poor wannabe. Im really not fond of most brazillian cultural works, as most just are really biased toward politics.
Btw, Walking Dead reference is Crossed?

Quote: What should be the expected time frame for completion of all towers and floors? If we are using a party of 6 instead of alliance.
My 1st run 119 65 minutes, (i try to alliance to help a solo player) that took forever... bar fill up super slow if alliance, 2nd run 130ilvl 40 minutes Apollyon, BTW i 6 box |

Remember when people dogpiled on me for suggesting a WSD cap?
Well instead, SE implements a content wide DT-50 on mobs. gg
50% DT with 50% reduction in HP is great. They basically gave you 199k damage cap. |

Is there a element mechanic?
I noticed skillchains on sahagin took 0 damage to fusion consistently
I don't recall if it was orange or blue, might be orange
We noticed that alliance takes *** when we broke the alliance it sped up considerably
But we spent almost 3 hours in total for ~11k just chest I don't think we found one of these bonuses

Saw a light for 3k at the entrance of NE Apollyon Floor 1. Visible as soon as you warp up.

It is there since yesterday (20+ hours) |

Apologies if this was already covered elsewhere, but once someone can check to see if the set bonuses on AF were changed, I'd like to hear about it. On the +3s, the set bonus states, "Accuracy...". For the +4s, it states, "Accuracy+...".
Along with Limbus, Besieged KIs, and Ambuscade, this update has also brought typos. I assume this is all the "+" is, but some confirmation would be nice.

We need to track the small lights on the ground worth 3k points.
We found one in NW Apollyon north of the start about halfway up the map. There was a party killing mobs at that spot when we found it.

Lol ninja head got acc when it did not have it before?
DEF:127 HP+74 STR+33 DEX+38 VIT+32 AGI+37 INT+31 MND+34 CHR+31 Accuracy+64 Magic Accuracy+64 Evasion+108 Magic Evasion+88 "Magic Def. Bonus"+6 Ninjutsu skill +18 Haste+8% "Subtle Blow"+9 Weapon skill damage +12% Set: Accuracy+ Ranged Accuracy+ Magic Accuracy+
Thanks I guess?
What's sad is this could have beaten Nyame head R30 if they had the inclination to add attack to it. This +4 has 1% more WSD, 7 more STR, 13 more DEX, 8 more VIT, and 14 more AGI, whereas Nyame R30 has +75 more attack. This is assuming it's not easy to hit attack cap on NIN.
No attack+ on a WSD piece is absolutely criminal.
It gets worse
Look at the relic legs.
DEF:134 HP+82 STR+42 VIT+24 AGI+36 INT+42 MND+27 CHR+20 Accuracy+39 Attack+64 Magic Accuracy+39 Evasion+63 Magic Evasion+84 "Magic Def. Bonus"+5 Haste+6% "Dual Wield"+10 Weapon skill damage +10%
Hurts your tp return for no damn reason..
I always felt NIN should either get a job trait that allows them to exceed the delay reduction cap, or have DW not reduce TP or just throw copious amounts of sTP on the gear with DW+ on it. Because its a bit ludicrous that some of these "upgrades" are not exactly that. |

Soon to be paid fake protests in NYC. Why cant they go to texas or something I did quite a bit of protesting during the Viet Nam war era. It was great fun.
Being retired I have quite a bit of time on my hands. Where do I sign up to be a paid protester? Do they give travel and hotel allowances? I'm so over sleeping on floors between demonstrations. |

Is there a limit on trusts or was this a bug? A friend and I went into Temenos and I was only allowed to summon 3 trusts (making it a party of 5). Is this intended??
It's intended, the patch notes did mention it in the Requirements for Participation section:
Quote: You can play solo or together with a party.
Note: You can summon up to three alter egos. |

For now. Per the notes, the graces will scale up as more people open chests. |

Serious question though....
Would you rather have the bulk of the stats they add in the first upgrade or the last?
Empyrean armor gave the bulk of the stats up front. To the degree that +2 shits on +3 from the stat/galli value. I feel like AF/relic upgrades are being done the opposite way because the gap isn't as large.
Personally I prefer getting the bulk of the stats from the bigger grind. Just feels more rewarding even though the end result is the same. Given the choice, I'd like to see the more significant buffs be added on the +4 with the +5 being more for the hardcore players.
In the case of the AF/relic +4 though, I think one approach they could have done would be to split the upgrades into stats/defensive upgrades and actual job enhancements. Like if they made the +4 add a couple seconds to valiance or a couple seconds to rampart, and then the +5 comes along later to add -dt or mdb to make them a little safer to use. |
