Sorry if the question has already been ask. But since the WS update, specially on CDC. How about Almace 119? Is it better "ranked" or the DMG still kills it? :o

0/9 Yumcax. So, when there are boatloads of people and the chatlog doesn't show Uproot happen, is it still possible to learn the spell or is there no chance? Is there any specific thing you have to do for the WKR spells that is different on normal spells? (since I heard you can learn while dead, maybe other differences too)

Getting desperate here :/

It needs to use the ability or you can not learn it.

Sorry, I haven't. Just an infuriating low learning rate for some spells!

I've had the list not rearrange properly but I haven't had spells completely disappear.

Not sure if it helps or not but I went in at 512 skill with 12% learning hands and went 1/1 on all but polar roar which I went 1/3 on, I still believe skill matters.

`

windbuffet+1 > chiner +1 by a minimal amount, vespid/rancor collar for uncapped attack rancorous/gorget for capped attack. nef(+1) might be better than gorget, haven't compared.

It's worth noting that the gorget/back combos are all very close under average circumstances (typical targets with content relevant buffs). Belts seem to be even closer. I wouldn't consider any combo inappropriate for most situations if you don't want to acquire and carry all the different combinations.

Still have my rancor collar if that's ok. <_<

I'd be glad that someone with a mythic actually bothers to inform themselves to make better use of it.

The more people ask the better we all are as a whole.

Ignore ignorance it is the only thing it deserves.

forgive the bump maybe, still wondering thoughts from Doctorugh and Prothescar, or anyone really.

Part of me wants to report you for harassment, but a bigger part of me wants to make sure everyone can continue to see how much of a moron you are.

You can kill the NMs that give you access to Asperity (or directly farm the one that drops it) with trusts probably, or at most you'd need 3 people (+ trusts if you want to feel safer). I'd suggest just doing that asap


also, this thread is made to inform and to allow for people to ask questions regardless of their current place in the game. that includes people like loki who are just coming back and need a lot of guidance, or people like nikia who have attained most of what the job has to offer but want further input. if you want to cause a fuss about that, it wouldn't be too hard to get you topicbanned.

Been looking over CDC talk and trying to figure out what is best now.
Current set:
ItemSet 328300

read above that Chiner's Belt +1 is good, question is if that is BiS or windbuffet+1?

Cerberus.Doctorugh said: »
No, think of a gorget as a neck that says DA+5 ACC+10 during WS, it functions like that (on average), because windbuffet is essentially worth 7DA....its better, where as 2 DA and 8 att are not (asperity)

Also Ideally you use rancor collar and then vespid mantle back
So if Light gorget is assuming DA+5 ACC+10 would that comboed with Rancorous Mantle be best or was the Ideally comment of vesipd/rancor BiS(s)?

Thank you for any input.
actually relooking, rancor mantle/light is slightly better (very slightly), for a difference of 4 acc

What augment would be best for Uk'uxkaj Cap STR, Attack, or DEX? I use it mostly for chant du cygne.

Dex for CDC only, STR lets it do double duty for physical spells and CDC though.
