Ok now they have me using the windower macros I have a few questions. After I toss on the WS gear do I need, and how long should the /wait be before I ws?

And do I need, and how long should the /wait be to get back into my TP set?

And while we are here, what should the /wait times be between my ws set and getting on the breath att set?

Did anyone even really verify what those do in the first place?

So where'd wiki get that? I see so much unverified BS about jump enhancements, it's hard for me to accept things without some kinda backing(there's even a verification tag on it on the wiki. <,<).

But my skepticism aside, it's very unlikely that Skanda(or Drachen) applies to spirit/soul jump. It's not direct evidence(cause testing atk bonuses is hell) but consider that "Jump" TP bonus gear(barone, skystrider, etc) doesn't work on spirit/soul. Despite being effective on both Jump and High Jump.

I would think it's fairly safe to assume that any 75 era jump enhancement isn't going to work on spirit/soul jump.

Really, even if it did work, I think you'd get more outta stacking multi-hit for increased WS frequency than you would outta the atk bonus.

Edit: For Soul jump anyway. The lancer+2 feet's +5 TP bonus is too good to pass up for spirit jump.

Yes.

To give a basic background though, any job that deals damage by whacking things with an object needs haste, regardless of how fast or slow the weapon is. 25% haste (26 due to the way the game mechanics work on haste) is the cap, anything above that amount won't help any more.

So you get to cap and then fill in with other gear. This is overly simplified though, and you will need other information like how to cap accuracy for various mobs, STP to make a hit build, Attack to hit harder, Double, triple and quad attack to hit more times and increase tp gain and many other stats that will help.

But if you have any more detailed questions or any questions about anything ever, this thread is great for it: http://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/29127/random-question-thread-ffxi-related/109/#2099060
