You're also not someone who openly flaunts RMTing every chance they get, though. It's like the dietician who doesn't know where the intestines are.

I was being slightly humorous. I believe it was mentioned a bit ago, just never dug into it.

Anyways, yall late. Eiryl almost never knows anything that's going on. He was like 3 days late to Dynamis medal duping, had not a single clue what was going on. One of the laziest know-it-alls you will ever encounter. I know more than him about exploits and I am the most casual casual who doesn't know a thing xD

You guys act like I do stuff or talk to players

Why am I supposed to know about ***I don't use nor care about? Hows it make me more money. It doesn't.
(even stuff that does make more money I don't do. All my thousands of mars orbs go unused/unsold, too)

I like(d) the mystery of it

That was two dozen characters ago. I liked ambuscade too. 5 years ago. But I still bump the ambu threads despite not doing it.

Most posts in the bout thread too. Did not a single objective.

Gazu is nice but coupled with the new turban it seems kind of sketchy from a defensive perspective. I don't like ambu cape because of -inventory and cause of losing a different usefull stat like stp or double attack.

I also assumed if you GEO melee you'd sub /NIN for dual wield and then you'll want to reconsider your earring and belt choices to cap DW.

DW /NIN, you'd probably be considering a DW+10 Ambu cape and leave it at that (79% DW). Your other most practical choice would prob be Suppa+Eabani for DW+9, which would be worse offensively and kills your ear slot flexibility.

Single wield, Null Shawl is pretty nice.

I do agree that Gazu already makes me a little nervous due to poor defensive stats, so using that along with another armor slot with mediocre defense isn't great.

Kind of reinventing the wheel needlessly from a GEO perspective though. 5/5 Nyame for 20% haste, solid acc and some other offensive stats from augments (DA from B path), and keeps you nice and safe. Get the last 5-6% from belt or ring, whatever you like. Arguments for either one, really, and if you care about the DT- or have significant augments on it, that might sway you more toward Alabaster Earring.

I can't think of a single instance in modern-game where I would want DW on GEO and not a mage support job instead, but if I did want it, I'd probably sub DNC for utility (Waltzes, Steps, Status Removal). GEO has a pretty cool Occult Acument set that puts them @ 1k+ in a single nuke with the SAM's roll. If you use Aeonic, you get higher effective TP, though Maxentius is lovely if not concerned about a wall with RDM's Black Halo. Most mobs are Aspirable nowadays too, so you can refill MP repeatedly and keep OA nuking for TP. I'd single wield and put up Haste Samba for the jobs that might need JA Haste (WAR, for example). Is DW TP speed faster than Single Wield (ignoring DW gear) with Haste Samba? Curious. Though, you can DW a Ukaldi offhand and still OA nuke for TP for better numbers, in which case you can disregard capping your DW because your TP speed will be based on your nukes/MP pool and not your swings.

How do you keep MP up if you occult accumen nuke for TP and then spend TP on damage dealing club WS?

Geo melee is fine. You TP in 4/5 Nyame, never die, never get enfeebled, and still do about 10% dps if well geared.

What's the problem.

And my preferred set is Azimuth body, 4/5 Nyame, windbuffet.

I can only speak to Sortie with personal experience, but I can get off ~3 nukes for OA purposes before I can't cast a T5 spell again. At that point the target should be dead (non-Aminon ofc). Of course, group efficiency will vary and that might not always be the case. Once dead, I put up Indi-Refresh while running to the next boss. Full MP by the time you get there. Rinse and repeat.

For Aminon, you just Aspir your heart away between WS / OA / Absorb-TP recasts (very active fight for GEO).

It's the exact same god damn exploit

I just didn't know it was extra "generous" this month specifically.

Last month if you used it you got 60 extra deeds. This month you got 10k. That's the only difference.

Everyone who uses that lua found out by accident. I don't use it.
And *** you *** for making me look at discord to double check ***I already knew.
(and this is still relevant to the april update. It's specifically extra messed up because of the april update)

The Store Store-TP +10 head, Ischkur Turban, becomes useful for Run, Blm, Sch, Geo TP sets, depending on other gear. Run has the sworn head so maybe not so much on Run.

For the record, GEO has a really hard time capping haste so...I'm not so sure about this one. Not sure about SCH or BLM but they're probably in a similar situation as well.

I don't know that I buy the "really hard time" capping haste argument for any job for general purpose TP gear. Here's an easily obtained baseline set for 26% equipment haste for all jobs, without needing any haste from head, rings, or back:
ItemSet 402639

* Adjust from there as needed - e.g., Bunzi's hands for those jobs, Volte Tights are obviously more hassle to get but a very good 9% Haste legs option for some jobs (BRD, RUN, RDM), etc.

* Alabaster Earring was a godsend for these kinds of TP sets, TBH.

* Hasty Pinion +1's downside of STP-3 is not ideal, but well worth the sacrifice if you need to cap haste (and comes with Acc+10, OK I'll take it).

The earlier RDM enspell discussion was a more niche build that is trickier since you reeeeeealy don't want to give up O.Sash for waist (and may want Sroda Tathlum in ranged slot).

https://www.ffxiah.com/item/26365/cornelias-belt

A belt with Haste +10% that all jobs can wear.

Winja was so popular that Ginja might be a thing with TP Bonus off hand.

I thought for a second you were being humble and admitting you didn't know wtf you were talking about, but I kept reading and you did the King Eiryl thing, where you pretend to be right the entire time. Never change Eiryl.

You were so sure you knew what was going on, that you had to check discords to reconfirm that you already knew what you knew. And then it's "*** you" for making YOU question yourself. Cuz you should have known everything already. Make that make sense.

Oh, dur, I figured out why it's exactly six. Not even a new exploit, just the same one again.

Dumbfuck edited his posts hours later to make it look like he was talking about deeds the entire time.

Note how above I quoted him saying "its just trust stats, no one gives a ***"

And yes getting "just 10k" deeds is a big *** deal considering you've now overshot the cap of possible deeds threefold. Theres now irrefutable evidence on your character that you're using third party tools to exploit game mechanics, theres nothing circumstantial about this.

For the GEO thing, I obviously know that Gazu, Cornelia, Hasty Pinion, etc. exist...

My point was that you're dropping other stats to put those things on. Dropping (for example) 10% DA on Nyame Gloves/Head to gain 10 STP on head, while also losing 122 Meva, 14 DT, 7 MDB, and 105 HP...doesn't make sense. (gazu and new turban)

Losing 3 STP in the ammo isn't a big deal because "it's GEO!" but on the other hand, gaining 10 STP in the head slot is great, because "it's GEO"? Um...so is a GEO TP set a big deal, or not?

Similarly...swapping Cetl Belt for Cornelia's belt loses 4 DA. So, we're losing 9 DA to get 10 STP, while also TANKING our defensive stats...?

All these swaps are possible, sure, but they're TERRIBLE. Which was, ya know, the point I made. It's difficult to cap haste (as in, you have to make sacrifices, wear terrible gear, etc.).
