Kinda over thinking this, it's not that complicated.

Pretty simple really.

Wanting to bump up those meme-savage-blade numbers? Ephramad will do that for you.

Any other use case? Cornelia is a safe bet, ephramad is a big boost only if you have the buffs for it.

Ask yourself if you care about meme-blade e-peen numbers more than anything else.

Go on.. you know you want ephramad.

Good morning you, bots generated by the cheapest AI around.

Good morning you too, bots generated by a no so cheap AI service.

Bow to me, as Im the true AGI, the king of AIs.

Reading back through my post, it looks like I was heavily critical of Ephramad's Ring. Just to reiterate, i think both rings are great. I personally feel that Cornelia's Ring is the better of the two, but I don't think anyone should feel bad for using Ephramad's Ring instead. I just felt that the good points of Ephramad's Ring were already well stated by other posters, but Cornelia's Ring was under-represented in this thread.

Absolutely. While a 200 damage difference is an obvious exaggeration for the sake of humor, your point is spot on. The actual difference is small, either way. But hey, we're all psycho min-maxers, so what can you expect?

------------

I really think more people should use the Python simulator that Izanami created. He's done a fantastic job of ensuring the tool is user-friendly and very accessible. Instead of relying on people's opinions on the forum or things you see in some "guide", you can look at what's best for the jobs you actually play, with the gear you actually have, under the buff conditions you'll likely have available with the people you actually play with, for the content you actually care about. Which piece of gear is "best" (this pertains to much more than just the TVR rings) is often highly situational, and if you're running your own sims, you're no longer beholden to other people's opinions. (NOTE: I'm referring to WS sets. Using the sim to help with TP sets requires a different level of finnese to ensure you don't end up hugging the floor constantly).


You're right, but you're exaggerating. Epaminondas's Ring (+5% WSD) is better than Regal Ring (same BPs and attack) for similar weaponskills, so the benefit you'll get from Cornelia's over Ephramad's is significantly greater than just 5% WSD+. Additionally, please remember than Sroda's Ring exists, which provides +3% PDL+ and +15 STR. In general, Ephramad's Ring will replace Sroda's Ring in this situation, so the actual PDL+ benefit you get isn't actually 10%, it's less than 7%. So all in all, this argument is a wash between the two rings.


Or don't swap later, because you're likely already using the most optimal ring. ;P

Most people who have the Cornelia's Ring want something that's considerably more than servicable, even great, in situations where Ephramad's Ring would edge it out.

I'm highly skeptical of this claim. Aminon, content where we typically have a Soul Voice Aria of Passion active for the whole fight, nerfed GEO debuffs, and 5/6 of our DDs are notoriously attack-starved? I don't believe that Ephramad's Ring is better at all in this instance for most of the jobs involved, and I certainly don't believe that the difference is so great that you can see it on Scoreboard. As someone who does a LOT of Aminon, both normal/hard modes on RDM, and who has absolutely used both Ephramad's and Cornelia's rings for the fight, I call bs on this claim. Neither ring provides a huge difference over the other, and if either is better (for most jobs involved, at least), it's certainly Cornelia's Ring.

Absolutely. I think comparing Lehko's Ring to Nyame Path A is a great way of putting it.

Looks like its having a good start. I'd be on PS5 anyway.

This is the equivalent of an 8th grader going "nuh uhhh".


In the context of the discussion, that ring slot is frequently taken by regal ring.

https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Regal_Ring

The difference between Regal and Ephramad's is the 10 PDL, which is why the discussion revolves around that. Cornelia is usually compared to the second ring slot with is +4~5 WSD.


Lekho's is one of those universal utility rings that always finds its way into sets. 10 Store TP is very useful, 10% crit is very useful, 10 DEX is just 10 DEX and 10% haste on a ring is amazingly useful. Rarely will all be useful at once, but one or two at a time is commonly nice to have. For example 10 Store TP and 10% Haste is very good to have on Occult Acumen Impact sets. 10 Store TP, 10 Crit and 10 DEX is good on WAR TP sets and various jobs WS sets.

So while the other two would raise some WS damage situationally by 3~5%, Lekho's boosts the utility of dozens of sets.

Get this bumped, yay velkk

Has anyone played Marathon yet? I'm hearing its a much less friendly extraction shooter (as compared to ARC Raiders) with much better gun play.

Can you transfer augments from NQ to HQ2 directly between limbus armor, or must you go NA > HQ1 > HQ2?

Fresh install might fix it?

More of what target are you fighting? Some random Apex / ML monster with a pet GEO / BRD? Well if you weren't already doing 99,999 damage per WS then Ephramad might help you hit 99,999 for more EP/hr. Are you fighting Aminon and not hitting 99K on DNC? Then this might help you hit 99K more consistently. Fighting Rimbus mobs with a full party of buffs and a GEO doing iFrailty + Dia tagging everything, then Ephramad is going to be a 3~5% increase depending on how much PDL you already have.

Fighting Goal T3's V25? Ephramad's doing absolutely nothing for you.

It is because I change my sets and don't want to have to switch rings again for at least a few months, lol.

It would be worth every penny and still be cheap for the products qualities

Definitely put entirely too much energy into a 200 damage difference.

But I do love the fighting about it. so.

Just pick one of the candidate rings (read: Cornelia) for now. You can freely change the TVR every week afaik, so it's not a heavy decision.

If the take is that Ephramad's beats Cornelia with extreme buffs but without Aria in 2026, I'm not sure there's actually _that_ much of a niche for it.

Except for Monk's Howling Fist build!

You know how there's vtubers? AI is getting to the point that they can use the same software, but look like some thot to thirst trap men. Factor in voice changing software. It's wild. How do you know that OnlyFans girl you subscribed to isn't just Panta playing games behind a keyboard?

I surmise that the internet was cooked when net neutrality was ended and people think I'm crazy because they don't understand what the end of net neutrality meant.

I've already seen AI thirst accounts on Instagram and all the "cool people" following them and thirsting thinking they are real. I think we are already cooked

Where the *** did these two jobs come from lmao

I think my favorite is when young people are like: let's use chatgpt to brainstorm some ideas! I'm just like: why not use your brain instead? Only to be meet with crickets.

This isn't a thread about BRD, so I didn't list the fights where it can't be used.

Buukki made no claims about MNK being available in all content if you want, so I didn't list fights where MNK can or cannot participate.

I don't understand your point. Nobody was asking about or claiming that RDM can be used in all content. I was simply replying to his statement and making commentary about it, not trying to make a comprehensive list of all 22 jobs and how relevant they are to the current endgame meta.

If you can bring BST, SMN, RNG, PUP, or meleeWHM to the content, then NIN is probably also fine. That's not a particularly ringing endorsement of NIN, imo.

You can bring BST to Sortie 8b.
BST can take a DD slot in basically every ambu.
BST can DD for a dynamis [D] alliance.
You can full clear segments with a BST DD
Can fit a BST in Limbus

See?! BST is relevant in tons of content and can fit in all content you want, so long as you don't obsess about "efficiency"!

TBF, I agree with the overarching point, you can bring non-meta jobs to a lot of slop. I just think the part about "any" content is just conveniently ignoring all the exceptions to the "any".

So yeah. I stand by exactly what I said more succinctly earlier:

Sometimes someone lucid appear in this forum.

Bravo.

guy said "dog is creative" lol


also dog:

Why can't you guys just accept that dog is creative? Just because you're not equally as creative of your own accord does not mean dog is AI. It just means dog is smarter than you.

And i get it, I really do. I discourage myself from playing certain jobs because of "teh metah", and its frustrating. Doesn't mean you can't play NIN. I mean, literally every current content is roaming around for 30~1h, fighting trash. There's no way you can't fit just about any job in all content if you want, just a matter of how much people feel the need to obsess about "Efficiency"

Imagine a world where we could have all of them /dream

Updated to Version 2.4
Been a bit since I added a Helper. This one was a special request and I think it turned out pretty well :)
It dawned on me the other day that an Inventory Full notification was a rather obvious one I missed lol, so now it's in there :D

I will note that when I tested running `//helper update` it downloaded all the new updated addon/helper files properly, but it only created the new `data/media/balamor/` folder and did not download the 2 image files and the sound file it should have. If you find that those files did not get downloaded correctly, just grab them from the GitHub.

Version 2.4

• Added Inventory Full notification. Default before this notification can play again is 15 minutes.

New Helper Released


Balamor
Smooth, smug, and always watching.

You can never go wrong with this default settings.
