inc "why brd over cor" debate.

One reason is because flurry and haste do not stack, if RNGs need the haste to keep shadows up, BRD is better.

We know if Haste II overwrites/prevents potent Slow effects yet?

It prevents and overwrites a few slow 1 moves I've seen so far, but I haven't tried on anything that would be considered slow 2.


Incidentally, flurry 2 on Joachim is hilarious.

Also worth noting that Gravity and Distract stack, they are different effects, giving the possibility of ~ -150 Evasion, which is pretty significant. I haven't had a chance to see resist rates on high end stuff, though.

Sadly nope.

The spells are a bit pricey from vendors. Haste 2 flurry 2 are near 400k at vendor in western adoulin, however i see them on the ah for cheaper currently which leads me to believe they are dropping from bcnm's or somewhere else. Anyone know where the new spells are dropping?

Yup, I saw scrolls of meteor, tornado, freeze, Indi-Wilt, Distract 2, and Watera 2 drop from the Campaign Ops: Plucking Wings earlier. As well as a Pil's toille or w/e.

As expected corsair and whm got replaced for rng+pld setup fight.

Because apparently pld is useful? And people use COR ? I don't think whm/brd is replaced in anyway. COR has always been a garbage job and will drop even further in the job rankings (propably behind pup). RDM is a ***healer and will remain so, their haste is mostly useless because most paries use BRD in the first place with gjallar and ddb raining.

Those drop are still best in slot in a lot of situation for the job that currently matters; and it still good gil for the effort it takes anyway.

let me check

DM : the money items have been divided by 3 since I played including plutons. Except pup/smn ammo nothing worth of interest here, and they drop a lot for 6 man DM.

gessho : complete garbage items. I think I missed why it's worth farming an subtle blow ammo in VD mode using cor and pld.

There's no "debate" if ppl doesn't trust spreadsheet numbers lol, it'd just ended up everyone saying their own things.

Why don't you just explain which items are "good". Since after the AA battles they keep releasing gear inferior to super easy content like skirmish or augmentable delve2, which is why everyone quits.

Also I checked yesterday's VU new item lists and there was nothing good either.

3/5 earring are best in slot for what they do; so is the rng/sam body.

Well he is a monk guy, so therefore lithelimb is best in class for hybrid dt/acc and feli mask is best in class tp. Patricious ring solid for hybrid, earrings as you said. Ptica is insane for ninja and works as a decent vs peice for monk if you need accuracy. Metal singer belt is 13 str in a belt slot.

I think we will see more updates to jobs like this. some people don't want to lvl jobs just so they can get invites to Mega boss fights or the high tier battle fields. I bet they make all jobs relevant.

My Mythic DRG would like to have a talk with you...

So would every BLU PUP SMN BLM BST WAR DRK in current end-game.

they will never make all jobs relevant, not this current group anyway. Some jobs, BLM DRG PUP BST, are designed extremely poorly. Others, they just don't seem to care about.
