Yeah, I said thanks. Still seems dumb that it doesn't proceed to assign all the rest and then it would have been easier to see what was missing!

Edit: Ok apparently this char doesn't have Glutinous Dart when I was sure it did. Going to get it and try again. Its not setting all the spells because your other char doesnt have all the spells available. YouTube Video Placeholder |

Just Rlb and seraph back to back. No need to add anything.

Maybe I misunderstood OP. Yes, the pet will get the extended SC window, similar to anyone else doing an applicable WS within the SC window, but a pet WS done by someone with aspis wont get an extended window.
Your first sentence seems to contradict your second. What's the verdict on activating vs merely participating in an extended SC window? |
|
 |
|
|
RLB -> Shining Blade -> Burning Blade -> Seraph Blade and repeat until you decide to go from Liquefaction to Vorpal to Savage to CDC?
IDK what kind of damage it would actually do, but with CM's +100% elemental WS damage it might not be terrible and should dodge the wall?

quitting can be hard, especially something you've done for 20 years, addiction or not. I think making a list like that is a good step to realizing why you are unhappy with something you used to enjoy. I'm coming to terms with being done with FFXI myself, I come here still but don't really play at all. got rid of all the accounts that had any progress done, so even if I get the urge I can login, but quickly realize I can't be assed to do everything over again.

Honestly, I'm not defending FFXI, but that post really sounds like you're suffering from depression (and probably addiction).

the race change was very cool
I read your other post, and I very much came to the opinion that you blamed the race you picked on many of the problems you had with how people treated you. When you could change that, your excuses fell apart and now you're sperging out and blaming the game. I knew that when you got the option to change, you would do it and quit.
The problem really is how you think about the game, XI hasn't changed much at all (to a fault you could say, in that they try super hard to keep it as close to the original design as they can).
Most of the stuff you talk positively about are crap, PVP sucks and nobody does it (mainly cause FF players don't like PVP but also cause of how hard they make signing up and waiting for it etc) and HNM is stupid content that is just botted.
There are many things that they could do in order to make the game better, but ultimately it is what it is and XI is a game made for a specific kind of player and it caters to them. It's in effect a somewhat underfunded and better looking version of OSRS, it's just made to grind stuff out in a living world.
I think a major problem is you're just not able to clear the harder content, and it's upsetting to you. Well you don't have to do the harder content. You can do lower tier content and just have the game as a relaxing thing you do in your free time, or play to the level you're comfortable. Over half the people playing XI are solo, they aren't doing all the hardest content solo (btw many people who multibox don't do the hardest content either, this is a illusion created by watching too much Eijin or Velner). This is a mindset like thinking you have to play a single player game on the hardest difficulty, or it's not worth playing. Most people dont have this minset and pick normal or whatever. |

Yeah well some of us play blu then go on Run/blu and forget to set spells at the moogle 100% of the time.
Not everyone is an S tier hunk of beef cake top tier always on it never makes mistakes player.

If you go from AOE to DD spell lists you will need to change mid content. Common in Sortie for blu.
Is it common for someone to be BLU in Sortie & also be switching strategies between AOE cleaving and DDing? Is this for solo runs? I'm not familiar with any meta strategy that involves bringing a BLU at all, much less one that involves switching back and forth between cleaving and boss killing. Is this for cleaving after you're finished with all the bosses...?
I'm sure it's possible and I'm sure some people are doing it, but I'm not convinced it's common.
Also for tanks if you also play blu main.
Common for tanks to change spells mid-event?
I definitely change from BLU spell sets to PLD/BLU and RUN/BLU spell sets all the time, but I never do it in the middle of an event, I do it when I switch to PLD or BLU, usually in a mog house or next to the nomad moogle in Rabao or Mhaura, hence my question. |

As far as +4 acquisition process, placing my bet that here's what new Limbus is:
1) Earn currency (points) by fighting anything in there, as in Sortie:
- Apollyon gets Apollimaurfy, Temenos gets Temenaufry if we're unlucky.
- One shared Limbus currency if we are lucky.
- Gallimaufry if we're very very lucky (we already got a free bonanza weapon, now you're just pushing your luck)
2) New Ancient Beastcoin equivalent. Drops from mobs in the Limbus zones, or from NMs, chests, etc.
3) +4 upgrade requires a not insubstantial quantity of said currency plus some other stuff. Maybe for AF that means appropriate drops similar to the AF+1 JSE upgrade materials from original Limbus. Maybe for Relic there are "-1" armor pieces like the old Relic-1 armors. Some quantity of the new ABCs, or maybe items purchased with them.
4) Future phases add NMs, for additional valuable drops such as equivalents to Homam/Nashira and the 99 version armor sets. Perhaps they also drop items related to +5 upgrades.
5) They hold back some of the areas in the initial launch, to release later in further phases of the development of the event. Similar to Sortie's phased approach of relasing A-D first then basement, Dyna-Divergence wave 3, Sheol A->B->C->D).
6) The pre-update note says they "plan to keep updating Limbus so that it provides even more robust battle content and a place for many new adventures to come". Future content could be new floors, NMs systems implemented in later phases. Future rewards could include items related to AF/Relic +5, unique armor sets, new JSE accesories (since they love those in modern events so much), currency for reforged Oboro level 119 JSE weapons, etc.
7) There's a timer or KI on entry system. Maybe relaxed over time, or can build up time you can remain inside (like Abyssea) and get time extensions somehow.
8) Mobs give good, apex level exemplar points to encourage more casual and solo players to engage with both the Limbus content and the ML system (that many people who aren't botting kind of ignore intentionally going out and doing, currently).

I‘m trying to kill Dhartok solo on RDM with /WAR, CM and Diamond Aspis and i‘m wondering which WS/SC combos would be viable for Dhartok, considering the WS wall and the non-water-element rule?

Carbuncle.Maletaru said: »few seconds of lag while it equips the spells? This sets your complete set within "few seconds" inside instanced content for you guys?
I mentioned it in my comment but I have never used this so I have no idea what it does or how it affects the game, or how long it takes, except hearing from friends.
What instanced content are you in where you need to suddenly change sets? I thought most people use this BEFORE content to set their spells, not in the middle of content to change spell sets.
I guess it depends on your use case. Some of the other suggestions here might help it be more performant, but I'd say if it's lagging your game for a minute or two, just set your spells in advance. If it takes a long time then set the spells yourself, ya lazy ***. |

mostly it's all because I can't smoke and play
operator error - the current endgame is getting ripped before Sortie runs and finding some *** to force your group into.
making them kill the ixion cos it makes funny horsey noises is the current go-to, or wearing the wrong gear for my "spectral jig set" and "accidentally" aggroing everything I possibly can on the top floor. |

Depends how many spells it needs to swap out, if its a complete spell swap it can take about 30~45 seconds but if its just 3 or 5 spells its not too bad |

long rant about how I feel about current state of ff11
please don't take personal or get too offended
just a write up for my website I decided to share here
just started a several month break from ffxi
i'm not burnt out on the game
I guess i just don't like it
it holds so many of my favorite things video games can give
beastmaster, bonecrafting, tanking, pvp
I just find so much wrong with the game it really stops me
segs sortie dynad all are terrible in my opinion
cp/ep m.lvls all terrible
crafting mats on ah selling +1s selling fish terrible
I liked just logging my char in to chat with ls
but I didn't even like to do that several weeks before my break
the race change was very cool
but it literally only fixed so much other than that it's basically like nothing changed
if you played a female char you switch to a male and now a male that's the biggest change female to male or male to female
at this point I don't even care about ffxiah rank and that was the best thing ffxi had going for it for over a decade
mostly it's all because I can't smoke and play
if i'm not smoking I just want to go fast fast fast to get to where I can smoke
ffxi is kinda slow in that regard
if I am high from smoking oh hell yeah i'll play a slow game and work at it I want to feel the burden and make my high last as long as possible
I literally cannot think of one good event in the game or a good event the game has had in the past 5? years
the last thing I did that was actually fun was raising a perfect chocobo rieurturbo
ep solo is terrible you have to be in such a specific spot in life to enjoy it
who the heck wants to do the same thing for 15 hours just to lvl up and have to do the same thing for 30 hours
it's like 1,700,000 ep at lvl 40 and ur getting like 40,000 ep an hour and that's supposedly good (solo)
everything feels like a major waste of time
and in fact unless you actually get something done it is a complete waste of time
somehow standing doing nothing to build and conserve energy is the best choice
it's like because the game so so full of wasted time and long sell time
you expect so much more for the time you put in
if I play a month I expect 300m
that's 10m a day
end up only making 3.333m a day 100m a month and I don't even want to play
100m in a month is so small it's not even worth it to play
and if I took a guess over all the playerbase 100m is probably pretty decent
but it isn't lol
and there's no events you can do to even make that besides mercing or crafting
for the last several months
I felt the best way to make gil was to do nothing and sit on what you had
because to go out and do any event is a waste of time almost 100% of the time
spamming the same thing over and over for a chance at 5 7 10m isn't fun
you have to be high to enjoy something like that
and that's a entire month of doing something on repeat and you may only make 7m if you get the drop once
crafting lets say you need a stack on moonbow stones it'll have sales history of 15m that literally just happened that day or the day before then you go to buy and they want over 22m
then you don't look for a day like 2 days later and someone snipes a 15m
then it goes for a few more days and the person is buying at 22m
selling +1s if you don't undercut they don't sell
if you go over it never sells
if you just leave the market and let someone own it the price goes up
then you can undercut with the price up and usually get the last sell price
on a 15m item you put it up for 15m it won't sell only 1 sells every week or two week+
if you put for 14.2m it'll usually sell but it may not in the week
if you leave the market for a month or two it'll be at 17m then you can list for around 16.5 and sell
voidwatch is a waste digging is a waste pirates chart is a waste vrtra is never up farming mats is made near impossible
like for yggdreat bole I need to do the delve and I have the extra chars to meet the delve 3 person entry
but I have to do the adoulin missions to get a ki to get the alts into the delve area
okay i'm not going to do that lol
even if I can make hundreds of millions off of it
and camping vrtra is a waste because it's only dropping like 300k worth of mats it can take like 5 days to spawn how freaking stupid
oh and no nm is worth camping games literally got hundreds and hundreds of nms and none are worth it besides vrtra who 100% of the time ur getting like 300k
no one pvps and pvp is probably the most fun entertaining event in the entire game
somehow besieged is getting the most work done to it
and everyone is confused by that
I like brd I like bst I like digging even though it's a waste of time partying or soloing ep is a waste of time but it's the best thing the game has to offer even being a complete waste if you consider just making the 400m and paying for mlvl 1-50 I like bonecraft but it is so close to being a waste of time it's not even funny even with an escutcheon I love pvp no one does it I like pirates chart but it's a waste of time considering mkris drop rate and falling price I like killing vrtra it's never up I usually like chatting in ls but I don't like answering questions or talking about the game I like being silly in chat and talking about my cat salem
mastering all jobs seems like a waste i'll never play them and I don't even want to play to master them
and I could pay 15m and master them
building the useless relics seems 100% pointless even if it's just for ffxiah points it's not worth the gil spent
it's not worth playing to make the gil to get the ffxiah points
I'm at the point now a firmly believe this game is never going to get better
I've been holding on and I can clearly see
this game is never going to get better
and the people that enjoy it the very few of them all have something major wrong with them or they get paid to directly play the game
the most fun part of the game usually ends up being talking about food in ls chat
someone mention eating pork belly and you reply I eat menudo
most memorable ls conversation
I just wc
did you wash your hands
because you better not of washed your hands
I don't know why everyone thinks washing hands is good
then we're all laughing about how this guy doesn't want us to wash our hands after we go to the wc
I'm sorry but how stupid does it have to get to have fun in this game
I see youtube videos and i'm like "How bored does a person have to be to watch that one"
I feel exactly the same about every event in ffxi
I don't even feel wrong by saying ffxi is the most boring game out but it is also the best game out
somehow you pay however much you pay and all you do is stand there or waste time
i've never said it before
but the way they make things so much harder for better gear
is just freaking stupid
stop that eventually
any day now we'll quit building our char and gathering gear
and eventually have fun like we used to
but no it feels like it'll always be a harder foe and more gear to get that literally no one can do unless they run a static or multi box
it upsets me that so many people do segs for gil
and what they get 2.5m tops
freaking give 2.5m for ballista and scale all the 119 moves to be appropriate like 60 cap is for the most part
bring back hnms have pvp drop gil like segs add nms with drops that actually sell
who cares if it's a lvl 15 nm that drops a bis 119 mlvl 50 item
that's what this game needs right now |

Who said you were dangerous?
Who said I wanted to push you aside?
Why do you think I need to be part of some "special group"?
When have I ever shown you respect, or hidden hostility?
I don't think you are beginning to understand anything.
I think you should take some time to try to figure out why every time someone criticizes you, instead of reading their criticism and trying to figure out if any part of it is true you immediately assume they're part of some cabal that is trying to push you down.
I've never met or played with any person who regularly posts on these forums (except Nynja, I guess). If you think there's some kind of conspiracy of people who are suppressing your genius ideas because they're afraid of your brilliant strategies, I haven't been inducted into their ranks (yet!).
Try reading the actual content of these posts instead of launching directly into a conspiracy theory. I think it will do you a lot of good.
Why go to old post ? I just want to build my linkshell like anyone ,, This is proof that you are not talking about information here but about the person himself and there is a big difference between information and people if you want to make a person bad you just have to attack him with some people and people will believe that |

Hmm... I was thinking on something like Shinryu D. Or just another HTBF boss where you have time to SC.
Tonight I was doing Shin D, and was wondering: if I had aspis would it have been faster dropping an offhand for it then chaining SCs endlessly for, or keeping daybreak in. The dilemma atm in this scenario is not taking advantage of DW
Pretty much where I'm at with my three choices. If it's more dmg to chain SCs longer, I might lean more into Aspis; otherwise, I'll either grab Onion Sword for fusion, or Ice Brand as an offhand.

So I've been thinking with diamond aspis. Assuming you have like.. Crocea Mors, is it better to just chain RLB and Ser.B continuously or is better to run Daybreak still and just try for an additional step chain? Or does the loss in DMG from using Aspis over Daybreak not make it worth?
What's the target? How much HP it has, how much fire, earth, and light resistance it has, and many other things will factor into this decision.
I don't think there are likely to be a lot of mobs with lots of HP (to take advantage of the long SCs of aspis) that also take good damage from magical WS and are soloable by a RDM who can face tank it while meleeing with Crocea, but idk I don't ever solo on RDM so maybe you can give some examples.
Also worth considering: DW vs single wield has a lot of trade offs. |

why would you lock magic burst mode, what is a mode?
To add on to gab's otherwise excellent answer:
Modes are logic in your lua that change the behavior of the code. While in one mode certain gear might be equipped for a spell but in a different mode, other gear would be chosen instead.
For example: if you're magic bursting a spell you want to prioritize gear with Magic Burst Damage, but if you're free nuking (not Magic bursting) then MBD doesn't do anything so locus ring is terrible.
You might have engaged modes like high DT vs low DT, depending on the content you're doing. High PDL vs no PDL, etc.
He explained why you might want to toggle MB mode, because you're bursting and may want to pre-cast your Magic burst spell, to get more in to the window.
You might also need/want to toggle it in a different lua if, for example, you had less automation. Many luas REQUIRE the user to handle all toggles between modes. |

The lua detects the skillchains and automatically toggles on the MB mode. Meaning for gearswap to equip the MB set, you'd have to wait for the skillchain to happen to start casting.
If you toggle the MB mode to on, you could cast your spell before the skillchain happens and still nuke with your MB set (maybe making it possible to MB 3 times instead of 2?).
Code if mBurst.value == true then
equip(sets.midcast.MB[nukeModes.current])
else
equip(sets.midcast.nuking[nukeModes.current])
end
At least, that's how I use it as RDM. |
