I find myself enjoying the 27-28 acc on Ephramad's as much as the STR/PDL. WS sets typically find themselves at much lower acc values than TP sets, and Ephramad's helps alleviate that a bit. Ephramad's is also useful for both single and multi-hit WSs while Cornelia's is moreso limited to single-hit WSs.
There are alway's tradeoffs. Cornelia's is useful for magic WS (not that sam has pure magic ws that are worth using, but I have done hilarious Thunder/Raiden thrusts on occasion). Ephramad's is completely useless for those.

You're still trying to make this a comparison between Ephramad and Cornelia. I don't care about that comparison, that's easy. Do you want an all the time bonus, pick Cornelia. Do you want a decent WS ring, that is BIS when the right conditions are met, pick Ephramad. When ephramad is decent it will never be better than Cornelia, everyone understands that, but when it is better than Cornelia, it's better. Make you're choice. If you don't like it, wait for a weekly reset and make you're choice again.
For the rest, Nynja already perfectly replied to you. Love it or hate it but there is no one-fits-all answer to the PDL answer. It's the main reason why some people don't love PDL after all, no?
There is not a one-size-fits-all answer only if you want to make it needlessly complicated.
Anecdotal/theoretical example aside, unless you've actually gone into sheol c and figured out the def value of all 27* mob types in the content, you'll never know from mob to mob what you need.
Then again, I've never been one of those people that has 20 different acc sets for melee. That was always just needlessly convoluted to me.

Phoenix.Gavroches said: »NM are not solo friendly for sure, but they are not difficult with 6 people. Shiva seems to have taken down their NMs, look like we done on Phoenix as well. They take 10 min tops. Just glad it’s for the month now.
I'm no game developer, but that sounds like bad game development. 10min monthly content?
Per NM, 4 max a day, per zone (x2)= 44 NM or about 440 min worth of fight a month per server, 80 min a day for 5 days, if you focus on that. Most server have only a few team (Amarok on Phoenix probably did the most) that want to tackle it, so that’s enough in my opinion. Also, easier said than done, Asura, bahamut, Odin… isn’t done yet and they have way more ppl than us.

Love the pic Tally :D
Just had a funny thought about your name.
Been saying it in my head as Tally Wally. Like Tally-mark and Wally the same way...
But has it actually been Tall-ee, Wall-ee, this whole time!? :O
Yep its Tah-lee wah-lee, i wanted to embrace a tarutaru version of my 04 original characters name Talaya who is a mithra haha.
I think it's really awesome you drew her with heterochromia (two different eye colors). I have a loved one with it and she always gets excited when she sees characters depicted with it.
Aww thats so cool! Ive always thought heterochromia was such an awesome trait and when FFXIV came out with the option i immediately gave Tally the red and green eye combo and it has stuck ever since, All art i do of her and have done of her since then has this feature!

The argument has never been about which vr ring to choose.
From the start I've been trying to answer this question.
If I'm in a position where I think PDL gear is affecting the damage of a WS, how much PDL gear should I use:
My argument is that you should use all of it. If you have 30% that is relevant you should use 30%. If you only have 20% that is relevant, then just use 20%. You're never going to know if you're only actually using 10% (Unless you've done extensive testing to know for sure that).
Cornelia's, Ephramad's, Lehko's, makes no difference to me. Each has very valid use cases.
The one caveat is that you do have access to PDL gear that isn't relevant, specifically R30 Mpaca's hose, I don't think there is any real scenario where the PDL from that item provides more benefit over Nyame path B.

That looks like react (not gearswap)
Which I believe only works for NPCs (not PCs including yourself).
If you want it to work for self cast just put it in your midcast sets (I think) in your gearswap. If you want to distinguish between self cast and other casts I think you can use a player.name sort of conditional. Just define 2 different sets (can use set_combine() and override relevant pieces to only support 1 base set).
If you're multiboxing you can probably use send to have the character getting casted on change sets.
if its just a friend casting on you, not sure if there's a solution. (other than them telling you and you manually equipping it)
(pseudoish code): Code
if player.name == 'mychar' then
equip(sets.midcast.Phalanx.self)
else
equip(sets.midcast.Phalanx)
end

The difference one piece of gear makes is not that significant Maletaru.

I feel like it's worth remembering that in their effort to lower costs to keep FFXI running "as long as they can", FFXI no longer exists as an independent entity at SE.
It has no budget, as it was folded into the FFXIV budget.
It had no dedicated devs anymore, not one. They told us this and justified it on the basis of not locking devs into working on obsolete ps2 coding. So any dev work on FFXI is handled by XIV devs when they are between XIV tasks.
And it has no dedicated hardware either. All our servers are run on virtual machines on the XIV servers.

Yeah, people will be bitching, but so what, that’s all they do…
NM are not solo friendly for sure, but they are not difficult with 6 people. Shiva seems to have taken down their NMs, look like we done on Phoenix as well. They take 10 min tops. Just glad it’s for the month now.
Can’t wait for the next update as those gears will be done by year’s end.

But whats your source data that people would be "1000% be bitching if they gave the NM's a 2k unit bonus"?

I understand the point you're trying to make, I think I agree to a very wide margin.
I think you might be missing a very important point from SE's point of view though. Wether we can agree or disagree with them, a key part of the Limbus development for them was trying to bring back the "you're in the world" feeling, as opposed to the instancing we've seen for all these past years.
With a goal like this, of course they wanted to promote free-spawning and free-popping NMs.
I'm in the frontlines in saying that the NMs system simply doesn't work right now because it doesn't, there's not much to discuss here, it doesn't, period.
But lest we forget that it's not "complete" yet.
I'm very very confident NMs will have a wider scope in Limbus once new elements of this endgame activity will be released before the end of the year.
It's too early for us to judge now, let's wait a bit more, shall we?

Kill the boss with 8 minutes left or 6 minutes left, really no difference.
Kill the boss in 14m30s, don't kill it in 15m10s, big difference.

Carbuncle.Maletaru said: »Possibly, but in timed events like Odyssey or Sortie you can't apply the time gains from the porter moogle to your timer inside the event, so this comparison kinda falls apart.
I'm not suggesting that skipping the moogle would be the same as adding time to the event. The point is that you can clear a seg run in 23 minutes or you can clear in 27 minutes, but the effort and reward are the same. Kill the boss with 8 minutes left or 6 minutes left, really no difference.

Im somehow studying more and more Power BI.
Im not sure how should I feel. Annoyed for investing in something that is not my core interests? Feeling excited for learning a high in demand skill? Interested in learning data science in practice?
Im half way in an introdutory course, and about to purchase 3 books that would provide most necessary information to jump from beginner to at least intermediate.
Lets see. Having Power BI in my portfolio should be enough to get a basic to mid salary job that could be 100% remote

I dont follow them so was unsure if Datalog is a new rebranding, a secondary channel or some cease and desist on the FFU
I didn't know about Datalog to be honest, that's interested. Regardless, they run 3 channels iirc. FFU, Datalog (for RPGs) and Kingdom Hearts Union. They are still active on all 3, but most active on FFU.
IIRC, the main guy running the channel mentioned not being allowed to use FF logos, and marketing it as a "fan-made, unofficial FF encyclopedia" otherwise they would run into trouble. But they've published 2 books, so whatever they did, it worked for them.
In fact, rather than being antagonistic to FFU, SE seems to be open to them. Several big names actively working at SE have done interviews with them, attended events they host, etc.

I've been in touch with FFU before. I recently reached out to them about how they've managed it twice without any issue. You may be exactly right, but they'll have more info on that topic.
Yesterday I watched a video that were clearly from them but talking about Dragon Quest.
The channel name was Datalog.
I dont follow them so was unsure if Datalog is a new rebranding, a secondary channel or some cease and desist on the FFU

Ooh, so it was a bit less than 8k for 130 and ~9k for 135.
That felt like a bigger difference to me, but it totally is not I suppose.
