The Last Dance: Gearing Paradigms For A New Age

yeah i dropped spell interrupt rate when salvage became obsolete :(

Well, most Dynamis mobs shouldn't have higher DEX than your AGI, so barring any enhancements to their critical hit rate (some mobs may get bonuses, like Fencer or whatnot), you should be able to get 0% with merits.

They somehow crit me once every other run.

Obv. you're galka.

You wish ;P

Edit: Not sure if I just insulted myself or not...

SECRET'S OUT

Some of the mobs may have high dex or something. It will vary by species.

Yeah, that's what I figured, but regardless, a pretty amazing merit in my opinion since Enmity and Spell Interruption is lulzy nowadays.

Enmity was always pretty useless.

WTF is a spell?

What dagger is that in the offhand? I hope it is not what I think it is....

I hope none of that picture is what i think it is.

Some form of Parazonium. I've dropped it and remade it several times because I'm OCD, so I don't know what it was at the time of that SS.

Nah, not with that hp. Clearly taru in disguise.

I used to use DA one until I got better daggers. Have the +3 version lying around somewhere. (I have an innate disdain of all OA2-4 weapons, so had to ask)

Taru has like 1200 something. :(

The problem with OA2-4 weapons is that they sound good.

But in reality they suck.

Haha I saw the blackboard and instantly thought that there should be a whole bunch of calculations and dnc formulas on it =P

Semi related...but ive recently switched to doing all DC mobs in dynamis quifim....and it hasnt been fun since ive died at least once on every run ; ; Dc snolls are the easiest as long as i spam VF. Rocs/gaylas are ok as well as raptors...but the problem is the areas are not that safe and it is easy to link....which for me it means that i go from 100000 evasion to -10 with just one extra mob.

Anyway, im wondering if it would be beneficial to rock 1 (or maybe both) of my AGI thocks at the cost of dps from twash/STR. Being able to handle 2-3 mobs w/o dying seems to be the better but it's not like it happens all the time...

Thoughts?

Are you getting signet?

I know this question may be noobish but in an effort to get closer to the 50% waltz cap I was curious to know if the Oneiros Earring works for waltz potency too or just cures. In a perfect world I could macro in w/ a Roundel ftw :)

Yes signet full-time.

And like I said, I'm usually good with one, but more than that, even after using exe, my evasion goes to complete ***...Worse case scenario I'm popping fan and hitting my all Eva macro, but killing slows to a crawl thus leaving me to aggro respawns and roamers and after that...yeah...

Don't worry, you are not the first person to ask this, and you will probably not be the last.

Cure potency =/= Waltz Potency

I parse ~70% evasion versus DCs. So, 1 evasion dagger is the max it would take to cap evasion.

Still, with multiple enemies attacking you, it's hard to keep up when they're hitting you 1/5 of the time. Your best bet is to work on avoiding links.

I popped Pancimanci just now and managed to fail twice:
1) I only got him to 35%.
2) I was doing it to test whether Atmacite of the Valiant is gear or Magic Haste, and I forgot to put it on.

I was expecting to not even really engage, but as soon as I realized I'd forgotten to put on Atmacite of the Valiant, I just decided to try and zerg him. My opening set of Rudra's took off 25% HP without food, and I was on DNC/WHM.

5% earring
10% body
3% ring
1% ammo
4% feet

7% on head or -2 recast, depending on the waltz


is really all you can do atm.

+10% on phurba... but lolphurba

phurba is not a dagger :|

its ok though guys, next update gives us another 1% on the head slot
