I mean, I guess if I had fictional capped hasso haste like you it wouldn't be an issue...
If you're not timing your LR pop even for the attack buff, you're part of the problem.

DRK/THF y'all done forgot about SATA baby. Party like it's 2003!
There was none of this haste capping, delay capping nonsense back then. You got your Haste 1 and said "thank you, sir." Then proceeded to miss 3 attack rounds in a row while munching on Mithkabobs.

Melee Meth from your local miserable Red Mage. And Sneak Attack Spinning Slash to close light was a real thing.

Best thread we had in ages
One of my most memorable moments in FFXI was using Spinning Slash for the first time, which I saved (so I could savour the moment after weeks of skill up parties) till I could SATA it in an EXP pt on a poor Knight Crawler in Boyahda
Watching the mob's HP melt away in an instant was so satisfying, knowing I could do this all day without pulling hate or losing half of my HP (I was one of those crazy DRKs who set up their parties to close SC's with a Souleater Guillotine, but I was a bit reasonable about it and had a PLD buddy who Covered my *** till he could grab the hate back) and making everyone in the pt lose their ***

I remember losing my ***over breaking 1k damage (or was it 10k? it's been so long) for the first time with a SATA+Souleater+Guillotine in Caedarva Mire. Good old days.

Ironically, 2006 was when I took my first long break (till Dec 2010, barring a month of play in 2008, having finished college & wanted to mess with BLU and the DRK group 2 merits)

Back when 1k was the norm as seen with the steel cyclone:
The Vista and Ventrilo gives you an idea how old that Guillotine is lol.
DRK 4 lyfe!!! Everyone was floored so I took a screenshot.
Thought I broke the game....

1k was my initial thought but it felt so low I had to question my memory, lol.
I have two core memories from that era that I'll hold onto forever.
Getting Rampage at level 56, and being invited to a Lesser Colibri party by Japanese players, and ending the party at level 61 with a Mighty Strikes Rampage for 1276 damage.
Being 75 in Sea, fighting Jailer of Love. Using Mighty Strikes Steel Cyclone at 300% TP to deal 2254 damage, and JoL was Boosted by Fluorescence since the PLD was tanking it on the hood edge, and I pulled hate and got melee'd for like 1700+ damage and died.
Come back in today's standards with today's calculations, and a level 75 DRK can SA Cross Reaper Byakko for like 7894

Bringing back memories of "Using Souleater! Need heals!" followed by a very dead drk for the umpteenth time.

That... seems kind of low to me. seeing 1k-1.5k guillotines and rampages seemed pretty normal/standard to me back then.

All SE did was inflate the monsters HP values to match our WS output values.

Anyone remember what update this change was made? I'm curious to read the update notes.
It's a bunch of updates and power creep, not really one specific update
Practically everything mechanically from era was altered.
Like, STR:ATT was 2005~, pdif/defense mattering was 2011~, the big ws overhaul was 2015~ They all add up. Level correction is in there somewhere.
(just trying to recall from memory, I'm not going searching)

That... seems kind of low to me. seeing 1k-1.5k guillotines and rampages seemed pretty normal/standard to me back then.
For example, this Guillotine set on an average generated EM, but I forced capping attack and accuracy only gets an average 932 damage. Even this might be an overestimate, I don't remember what the mods were at 75 but I used 30% STR and 50% MND here, I could go back and look at really old versions on wiki, though.
ItemSet 391671
Edit: Changing to 25%/25% from 2008 wiki info gives a slightly different set that will average 907 damage.
Asuran was the best WS in situations like that and could reach those numbers more easily.

Lost of people forget how harsh LCF was to melee damage back then.

I also miss the creative uses of auto-translate shouts in jeuno.

I wonder what that stuff translated into Japanese?
