Final Fantasy XIV Database - Ffxivpro.com

Being back more frequently on these forums lately has me realizing how "at home" this place feels. The familiarity of the site, the recurring cast members in the forums, it's a special little nook of the internet.

Thanks to the FFXIAH team for keeping the lights on.

I went HP and MND mostly with a few points in VIT and INT since the first 10 are so cheap

Maybe the HP is better than STR for now?

The funny part is they are all going to argue about the rings longer than it would take to just switch your rings for free and try them.

I plan to avoid dex probably until the gear releases, I'd rather the trusts miss but once we have gear with dt I can't turn that down but presumably it will also have acc then may as well cap it all.

What about Fickblix's Ring though? Multi attack was always considered to be first priority for TP and your /SMN summons will deal 10% more damage on top of that!

Tbf it used to be, then they threw 1 handers a bone
Then h2h
Then ranged(under ss)
Pets somewhere in there, forget when they made the switch for them. Kind of odd 2 handers dont get anything at this point but oh well, time to miss fudo 5 times in a row and maybe buy a lottery ticket

Acquired the update and I think your implementation is vastly superior to the idea I described in my initial request. Thank you so much! The arrows are faster to read and won't cause numerical confusion with the distance in yalms. Furthermore, if you see a green arrow for show_target_angle_from_player_facing, it means the mob is within the angle needed to WS, which is extremely useful when off-targeting weapon skills. Only thing I could possibly suggest would be moving the show_player_angle_from_target_facing arrow to the other side of the mob name so the two arrows aren't right next to each other.

Regarding the aggro list window, would it be possible to add an option to hide the list altogether (or set alpha to 0) if there's currently no active aggro? (That is, hiding the list during all times where the readout for "total" would equal 0.)

I take this to mean Fomor Job-based NMs that appear, and basement bosses that appear.

Does this make sense or are they changing things? The Mannequins dont spawn in Central Basement / Central Apollyon.

I've published the side-content that I mentioned above. It's a separate mode that can be started & completed independently of Tower progress, accessed via the Chessboard in the base-camp. It features:

• Turn-based battles (CTB style system on a 5x5 grid)
  

• Monster-building system
  

• A battle-mode to rank-up armor & obtain earrings
  

• 8 challenge battles
  

Here's a sample video of the first challenge battle:
Also, some minor changes to the main-mode:

• Stream-lined/changed some non-boss floors (mainly in Tower 1)
  

• Added "Egoist's Tathlum" to the shop in Escha (DPS measure)
  

• Cursor-speed can be adjusted in the UI widget
  

One of the hidden benefits of hoxne is making 1 hit ws go from full miss 1/20 to 1/400... assuming capped acc even without the extra 100.

You encourage the use of a simulator that isn't the game, and is, therefore, not reality.

Parses and simulators are nice. They can be very accurate, and most importantly, parses can show active play, you can extrapolate player choice from them.

But they are not infallible. They are not reality. They don't show everything and they miss out on actual gameplay all of the time.

The Sim is even worse. It is no substitute for actually playing the game, or how things will unfold there.

So you posted an opinion. Nothing more. In other threads you've asserted things like Caliburnus routinely out does Naegling. You aren't free from bias.

In no way are you just impartially course correcting anything.

You just don't like that you came to a decision and swapped rings, cemented now in your own beliefs. So you chose to post in a way that plays to the audience, since they also enjoy the Sim(not reality).

The fact remains that Ephramad's Ring has its place in TP sets as well as weaponskill sets. Cornelia's Ring only has a place in WS sets.

My argumentation may be flawed, but I am correct. Ephramad's is the superior overall choice. I even lead with saying I've always championed it, and you chose to throw barbs my way in a rather supercilious way, tbh.

In reality though, anyone's ring choice is ultimately unimportant. Better play, and play that understands the next best options will see you through gameplay more than any ring ever will. At the bottom of page three, Dodik opined in favor of Cornelia's, but then he also said, "Gear for what you do."

Some folks only play/prioritize their play as healers or hardline for mage jobs. They choose Medada or Gorebu. Some hardline for BST/pet jobs and choose Fickblix. I play physical DDs, and Ephramad gives them the most(just over half the jobs in the game, depending on your PoV).

Cornelia's is great, but its own exceptional area, an arena that Ephramad's can't touch, is most magical WSes. It is not bad. It's even my favorite color. I don't know who all has chosen it in the groups I play in, but whoever is, isn't running circles around me in the content we do, if we're on jobs with the same purpose.

You can't go wrong with either, truly, but you're right. I will always highlight the ring I believe is superior, just the same as you.

15 liliths 1 sword earring... sounds about right?

I don't either, as long as you play actively and well.

Clint *** XD

Fickblix FTW

*** CHOKED lmao

TIL the hit rate cap is not 95% for everything! Ty Nynja for teaching me something about a game I've played on and off for my entire adult life.

It's ridiculous because you listed a bunch of Gaol fights that are explicitly designed to have fairly specific and unusual job combinations, like Arebati, Ongo, or Ngai. Basically every DD is going to have several T3 Gaol fights where they aren't very useful (barring maybe WAR due to its design as being a master of so many weapon types).

But if the only examples of events you could throw out there that are not so NIN-friendly are Gaol T3/T4 and 9boss Sortie, hey, I think that kind of reinforces the point that NIN isn't really in that bad of a position overall since NIN can make some reasonable contribution in the majority of current content.


Should just sticky Buukki's whole post. Well said.

If they are, I had to go into the gearswap lua and make an edit to not have it interfere. Otherwise both communicate well together.

The only thing hit rate cap respects is gil.

<3

He gets +1/+1 per LS in his inventory.

I know its off the current topic but you really would think they would've given that ring something unique... even Adoulin's DT-% Vocane Ring had the rather rare "reduces distance knockback" stat, so while it was still kind of underwhelming it at least had something!

Hi. My name us Torcleaver Fudo. Its nice to meet you?

Wow damn, this blew up, lol. I think it should be clear to everyone reading here that Vyre has already decided that he wants the Ephramad's Ring to be a "better" ring than Cornelia's so he's grasping at a series of straws in an effort to convince himself and others that it is, despite reality. I read through the responses, and no, Ephramad's is not a good TP ring, nothing that has been posted here presents a compelling case. It is, however, a fantastic WS ring assuming a conditional set of circumstances is met. The "better" ring depends on a variety of variables, and I'd implore anyone still looking to make the choice to run some calculations and simulations based on their own personal gameplay instead of relying on the numerous hand-wavy, qualitative arguments being made in this thread that are largely based more on feelings (and fundamental misunderstandings of PDL) than fact.

But look, I have long subscribed to the "this is a game, so you should play the way you enjoy, even if it's not optimal" philosophy. If you are so concerned that Sylvie might use a precision bubble that you're willing to forgo all multi-attack and Store TP in your ring slot to prevent that, then go for it. You do you, I don't pay your sub.

It's not worth my time to try to convince Vyre or anyone else whose mind is already stubbornly made up. I'm simply posting information for people who come to this thread looking for advice because they don't know which to choose. The first page and a half of this thread is a bunch of people cheerleading Ephramad's Ring and downplaying Cornelia's Ring, so I felt it would benefit the community to help right the ship so that no one reading walks away with the erroneous belief that Ephramad's Ring is "better".

I don't give a *** what rings my party members chose as long as it isn't Ragelise.
