As someone who has MM45, top end gear, completely solo, even at V0, the T3s are still quite challenging as a solo, and I have died a few times soloing them. I doubt many "casual players" can kill most or all of the T3s for a set of armor; it's not a simple dps kill.

Now I do agree the Odyssey sets are way better than anything else, and they should grab those sets and make them their priority vs previous sets.

Our second semester here had no holidays, so I wish I could have some days off.

It is being way harder than I thought working 3 days/week at office.

Im completely certain that if they decide to make it 4 or 5 days at office, Im quitting in the first day.

"One shot a lot"? More of an issue of the person building the set if that's the case, unless you mean multiple mobs wailing on you. I doubt a melee hit or two in Inyanga +2 will one shot a whm. You can throw on a Malignance Pole, -PDT Ambu cape, a couple of -DT rings and still rock the full set if you wanted to without issue (I have done this lazily healing like CoD or 130 Limbus a while back). It just happens to be that even Empyrean +2/3 is better anyways, so you normally wouldn't use Inyanga. But I do have an idle set that uses Inyanga +2 for some Refresh ticks, and I don't feel particularly squishy in the set since I compensate for the PDT elsewhere.

I did warn how badly the server kill system was for smaller servers as far as matter drop rate was concerned. Yeah everyone was killing NMs regularly the first few weeks and it was no prob bob, until attrition set in, then everyone got smart (several weeks late), and nobody cared anymore/grind was unrewarding. Now the drop rate on matters sucks for everyone*.

Inyanga set is kind of an abberation to the rest of Ambu+2 sets. It has exceptionally high Magic Evasion and Magic Defense Bonus. So much that it's not a defensive liability at all. So at the very least on that front, the argument that the piece is too squishy to use doesn't apply.


When does it make sense to wear Ambu (any other) gear [option]? The problem with sims are that they ignore any element of what is hitting you, and spits out the "best" combination of gear to deal the most damage while mitigating whatever value of damage you input. It's not a true representation of "BIS" for a generic TP set, just that when combined with other gear would output "more" dps than another option. The Sim is leaving out the fact that you're probably taking "more" damage or getting enfeebled "more", so the term "BIS" is completely subjective.

I think you guys are all speaking past each other and speaking from two different perspectives, where you should just meet in the middle and talk on the same topic.

First day back at work and wow was it a ghost town. A lot of people that called off, not wanting to work for free I guess.

I'm all for using ambu gear when it makes sense to do so, but out of the 50~odd pieces of +2 armor and ten rings, most of it will likely be relegated to niche status eventually. That said, I can see the value of including it in the sim if only to demonstrate when you shouldn't use it.

I'm not sure that 1TA = 2 STP is entirely accurate. It might be fine for ballpark comparisons, but I would not use ballpark math to declare a piece BiS.

It's HQ Pinga. +1% FC over Inyanga, is also BiS FC for SCH, and even has a place on BLU for White Wind fast recast/max HP shenanigans.
Inyanga is not bad, nobody is looking down on WHM who use it - but it is not, in fact, BiS.

But it helps your server! (lol)

Or literally anything considering the current reward for a kill is nothing.
No XP, no EP, no CP, no units, just

NMs should have a scoring system like DI and give up to 5000 points and a ***ton of ML XP.

Sony (not square, if that's what you meant) didn't take over Shenmue, they just helped along with the publisher Deep Silver past the initial kickstarter on things other than dev. The only reason that ball got rolling is because Yu Suzuki had managed to get the IP licensed to his company, and the kickstarter had big names behind it since he was responsible for the originals.

Anyway,
I know you asked about Elmer's translations on BG earlier, but I do hope you take on the task of hiring someone with actual knowledge of JP when it comes to translating all the text that hasn't had any official TL that's been released since. I know SephYuyX has done a lot of work on cataloguing all the published material they can over on bg-wiki. Good luck.

I thought research showed sweet substances, whether rich in calories or not, produce an insulin effect regardless. The sweeter the substance, the greater the effect.

Here, from a 2020 study:


https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7014832/

So yes, lower calories. The insulin effect, and associated diabetes risk, is proportional to its sweetness not calorie amount however.

The shitty aftertaste is the universal problem.

I'm sure they all cause cancer too. That's not really a deal breaker, everything does.

Paged!!!

Only thing bad about stevia that I know of is the lingering aftertaste. I am told that regular users don't notice it.

There aren't THAT many calories in sugar.

Don't listen to Tarage. Do it, open a Kickstarter with a draft.

If it does well, SE will take it over like Shenmue

I would ask how geared/skilled is the group, as in, what are people wearing? What buffs are you using? That team comp isn't ideal but it is still workable, but you would need to describe what everyone is doing.

Is the THF landing stacked WS, and applying Feint on bosses for large -eva? THF is really hurting your comp here, it adds almost nothing to the party as a whole in Sortie. A stronger DD would help out a lot more.
Is the DNC maxing out Box Step?
Are you using Dia 3 + Light Shot, Distract, Frazzle, Impact (where appropriate)?
Is the SMN using pertinent buffs to aid your group's DPS? Crystal Blessing, Warcry.


For example, your team isn't haste capped with only Hastega II from SMN (unless you're using Embrava, but that won't last all run), so that's a massive chunk of your DPS lost just off team comp alone. I'm assuming your SCH is the healer, but then I am curious what SMN is offering you for bosses. Without GEO frailty and rolls, SMN is relatively weak DDing, so it's not looking like SMN adds anything close to another support. Might you be able to convert the SMN into the healer and grab more support (GEO or BRD) instead of SCH, or drop SMN completely and get the support? You don't necessarily need a tank for upstairs bosses, but if you're less geared, that might be important too.

Okay, so you've never been hit by any aoe while idle without weapons drawn.

Guys, come on. Be serious.

You're a terrible friend if you recommend FFXI to anyone.

Don't see that happening, but Fujito did talk about about limited trust customization in the Dengeki Online interview earlier this year.


In the same interview he mentions that Cloud HTMB was a happy little accident; There originally wasn't any battle content planned between Peach Power and Limbus, but one of the former XI devs had some time to work on XI again and knocked it out.

So when you talk about "why don't we have X HTMB yet?" - well, it's probably on a list somewhere waiting for Fujito to find the developer hours to make it happen.

Thank you Thank you

Though I agree not everything needs you to be in max DT etc., basically anything that doesn't require that is honestly too easy to even bother gearing separately for imo.
I'm probably just too lazy and inventory starved to min/max for non-odyssey/sortie content though

Right on, sweet I will mess around with this later after work. Thank you and keep up the good work!

There is no *** way in hell ambu +2 gear will ever be BiS for anything ever.

BiS is literally Best in Slot. Ambu +2 will never be that no matter the purpose.

Not everything requires you to be in Max DT with a gorillion Meva 24/7

I'll bite.

A Dead DPS is no DPS, and a hinderance to the party (because now a mage has to waste time and MP raising you, and waiting for you to unweaken).

Ambuscade armor doesn't have as much ACC stats as fully upgraded other pieces, less magic evasion, less DT. I see people in Dyna Divergence runs (I sometimes run with people who are not endgame ready) get one shotted by NIN mobs all the time, because they're decked out in combinations of +1 artifact/relic/empy, and ambuscade gear. They can't hit the mobs either, or do a lot of damage.

A lot of Flamma gear has multiple stats on it (the head has Triple attack +5%, Store TP+6), but it's got a lot less defensive stats, and accuracy than, say Boii +2/Boii +3, or Sakpata (with or without augments).

Ambuscade gear is meant for starting players to get starter gear, so they can move to get better equipment. It's not BiS for anything.

(Not talking about the ambu weapons of course, Naegling is OP, Shining One is OP, etc.)

The current dancer we have for my sortie static is looking for greener pastures.

I will let him know you are looking for some people.

FYI - He doesn't have a volte harness.
