Don't see why it would, I've never had any major issues with it at least =)
You are my new go to guy <3 TY TY TY

Haha, np^^

If you ever have any issues with it, feel free to toss me a PM or post here or something and I'll see what I can do (I recommend the latter though, there's a lot more people with a better know-how than me when it comes to Spellcast XD)

My gear? XD My gear's pretty average all round, I've lost a lot of my "killer instinct" whereas gear's concerned =P Now, I get what I need and I work on (albeit super slowly) what I want XD


Admittedly, if I had a (good) WHM on call or a BLM/BRD on call, I'd prolly have full AF3+2 for all my jobs by now though.

I cannot get a salvage group for the life of me to finish moragan(sp) gear :(

blah maybe with the new updates more people will want to do it again

also in my Last spellcast I had I had two diamond rings (augmented thru boxes) and iirc i had the issue only one would equip..do u know what the issue (or does anyone know) for that to happen and how can i fix it *or is that a nonissue in your SC*


Sorry for the long list of questions ~

i have the same problem with windower macros on my idle set. sometimes it will only equip one dark ring. hitting it twice usually fixes it. from what i remember reading, the game tries to equip the older ring first. it's probably lag making the game not see it equipped in the first slot and trying to equip it in the second.

My quotes aren't working, but. You need to put your augmented rings apart from each other. Just space them out, like, have your <lring> on line 1 in your set, then your <rring> on the bottom of the list.

Ahh, I use Morgana's body (not Morrigan's XD), the MAB+8 MAcc-8 piece (while atm Accuracy isn't an issue, figured I might as well until AF3+1/2 is mine XD).

As for the equipping issue, I had that problem with windower Scripts, but I've never noticed an issue with Spellcast (though it's been a while since I've had 2 rings with the same name)

so instead of

input /equip main "Terra's Staff" <me>;
input /equip l.ear "Ethereal Earring" <me>;
input /equip r.ear "Sorcerer's earring" <me>;
input /equip head "Genie Tiara";
input /equip body "Goetia Coat +2" <me>;
input /equip hands "Yigit Gages" <me>;
input /equip back "Umbra Cape" <me>;
input /equip l.ring "Dark Ring" <me>;
input /equip r.ring "Dark Ring" <me>;

input /equip feet "Herald's Gaiters" <me>;
input /equip legs "Goliard Trews" <me>;
input /equip ammo "White Tathlum" <me>;
input /equip neck "Twilight Torque" <me>;


it should be

input /equip l.ring "Dark Ring" <me>;
input /equip main "Terra's Staff" <me>;
input /equip l.ear "Ethereal Earring" <me>;
input /equip r.ear "Sorcerer's earring" <me>;
input /equip head "Genie Tiara";
input /equip body "Goetia Coat +2" <me>;
input /equip hands "Yigit Gages" <me>;
input /equip back "Umbra Cape" <me>;
input /equip feet "Herald's Gaiters" <me>;
input /equip legs "Goliard Trews" <me>;
input /equip ammo "White Tathlum" <me>;
input /equip neck "Twilight Torque" <me>;
input /equip l.ring "Dark Ring" <me>;

Correct. Not necessarily first and last, just apart from each other.

yeah that's my windower script. you would just change the order they are in on your spellcast list.

That's for script macros, though the same principle applies to Spellcast.

In your sets, put <lring></lring> before your <main></main> and <rring></rring> after <feet></feet> (start and end). As Xen said, they don't have to be in those spots, they just have to be separated.

there's a staff with refresh too. lots and lots of hunting to do. i dunno if i'm happy or sad about this. i don't wanna spend the next few months grinding out new sets then have them trounced and made worthless at 95/99.

unless they add a way to make set bonus proc more this probably will be the new best nuking headpice. the af3+2 is still good for precast though.

Yea, that head piece should be tops. Too lazy to look up names but the body piece with "Sphere" active will outdamage AF3+2 body. And that 4 MAB ring is pretty sexy as well. Hoping the refresh latents on that staff (and think I saw another piece with refresh) is like the Moonshade Earring latent of being idle for activation.

Tons of new dark skill gear. Could be good, could be kinda meh. Admittedly though, the slots where we're getting mass skill is spots where I've been putting haste. Any % increases in dark magic effectiveness will have to outdo the haste% in each slot for me to take em.

Seems like a lot of situational pieces to add to an already bursting at the seems inventory pool.

Anyone have an idea on the math for int - mab now adays, i realised 1 int is alot closer to 1 mab than it used to be. Otherwise that ring doesnt do it for me either ; ;

ok what's good for blm in this update? fast cast. with rani atma and my normal fast cast gear my nuke are going off at 15%. i put that on just to play around, but without that atma my nukes are going off at 25ish%. this changes kiting forever =O! at least until they fix it. reminds me of when they broke drain at level 80. you could hit 700-800 drains np.
