Hence the two easiest macros for a GEO to use
/ma Indi-Frailty <me>
/ma Geo-Fury <me>
Don't have to worry about positioning a bubble, just position yourself. Pop circle when the team is unassing the camp and continue on.

During instanced content these delays combined with the lag/delay that frequently seems to be multiple seconds it adds up enough that one can barely place their bubbles before most mobs are dead.
FFXI doesn't play well with roaming content, GEO plays even worse with roaming content. SE knew it which is why there was barely any roaming content before the introduction of GEO. Wonder if they view it as some sort of barancing to bombard us with roaming content now that GEO is a thing.

If you do it with a geo bubble first you have the additional time required by placing the bubble (ok, ~1 second?) and then you have to consider that geo debuffs are applied in "tics" cycles.
It's about 4~5 seconds not 1, spells come with a 3s global cool down effect. Once you cast geo-whatever, you have to wait 3s before you can cast another spell to tag a group of monsters, or cure the bard who might be sleeping stuff. The more important aspect is that loupan's can't be moved once placed and monsters don't always place nice and stand in a perfect circular formation around a loupan. The Geomancer running indi-frailty can easily reposition themselves to catch everything in the defense debuff bubble while the geo-fury bubble is exactly where the geomancer wanted it since it is placed via <me>.
To make it even more fun, the Geomancer is going /BLM and using sleepga / sleepga II to "Tag" the monsters when they come in. Since indi-frailty is already up, this immediately tags them all with the defense debuff and acts as crowd control. It's one of those neat tricks for when your party is rapidly moving camp like in Rimbus or Dynamis-D.

"develop a game for me. Get inspired by Pokemon, but use cards instead of balls, and give it an open world like Zelda Breath of the Wild"
I must admit, this is a quite promising prompt

Wouldnt it juat be 14%? Thought +geomancy only applied to geo-bubbles.
May be bundling it with only geo spells can be ja boosted
Ehh ... no ....
+Geomancy applies to both Indi and Geo spells, it doesn't apply to entrust spells. BoG / EA only apply to the Loupon itself, meaning Geo spell. Of course if you are moving around like you do in Limbus those aren't that great.

To indirectly answer your question: for sortie you can do 3/5 empyrean on SAM safely assuming you have the kill speed to down the bosses in less than 1min. They tend to start wiping people after that.

worthwhile trade-off for a SAM to forgo the DT-28
Sam typically wears 3/5 empy, with only hands/feet left for "other". 3/5 empy already gives -35% DT.
What set do you think is better than one that has 3/5 empy in it.
It was someone else in a sortie group.
...post the with shell set and the without shell set
It wasn't my set, it was someone else in a sortie group. They were technically at DT-45 (+ PDT-10) and Shell 5.
What are you even asking.
You want to know whats better, 50MDT in gear or >22MDT in gear + shell? Really???
Information about game mechanics frequently gets distorted, misunderstood, ad nauseum. Can you suspend disbelief and answer the question directly? I personally have been wearing DT-50 in every set possible, so I hadn't relied on the MDT mitigation provided by Shell 5 (towards 50% cap) in many years. However, this person in a random sortie group was emphatic about Shell 5 closing the MDT gap. (and let's say this is still true: Then how many of us still wear DT-50 in their TP sets? Also, the recent increases in Magic Defense Bonus? )

Using Torcleaver, ML pt Chaos/Corsair rolls no samurai roll

Because everyone makes the same mistake of just assuming attack is always capped
It's the same mistake people always make with assuming macc is capped on hybrids and only thing that matters is what Sim says will give highest damage.
Hint - accuracy and macc requirements change dramatically depending on the content.
So much so. Like Sim's are only useful if the person using it actually understands the data underneath it, otherwise it's just a magic eight ball. Values like Defense, Evasion, Magic Evasion and Magic Defense change per-fight and so the resulting "best" can also change, especially with regards to pDiff and hit rate.

hi

I've not been able to recreate the battle camera loading issue. I wonder if I borked the settings file in the last update. I changed the order of some of the settings. Can you check you settings file to see if it looks correct?
As for the z-lock thing. I might have found a way to prevent the z from changing while it's operating as a chase cam outside of battle. Still looking into how I'd prevent it from changing in battle and transitioning between the two.

Someone insisted to me that Shell 5 gives a 28% MDT reduction, and I vaguely remember this fact being true around the 75-era up to Adouin release (~2014). I guess, when Empy+3 came out it became really easy to make sturdier TP sets.
Anyway, when fighting Sortie Bosses, is it a worthwhile trade-off for a SAM to forgo the DT-28 in gear in favor of Shell 5's MDT? (Let's assume both situations reach the -50% cap). https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Shell_V
wiki corroborates it (well, 29%, but more accurately 75/256) so you can in fact gear accordingly. (and I can verify first-hand that I have made that assumption on several jobs and am not getting pasted by magic damage)
Can't speak to what that means for SAM specifically (other than, obviously, PDT on your WS cape is a no-brainer) though.

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.
Ephramad would help the DNC get more 99,999 if they weren't already getting 99,999... :trollface:
But seriously this is that exact situation I found Lekho's to be the "better" ring, because it let me get more TP per Impact and more Impacts per fight due to reduced recast.
Waist option is Oneiros rope making Haste hard to cap in midcast and therefor making the recast higher on a spell that already has a high recast. Bam drop in a Lehko's and all my other slots are committed to OA / Store TP.

Name a ring with higher accuracy in the ring slot
Cornelia has wsacc+20.
|
|
 |

In any Empy AM3 or Prime Stage 5 white hit focused/leaned build +10% damage on ODT procs can be as much as a 4.6k increase to the hit(DRK WAR BST SAM THF empy set bonuses stacks with ODT).
10 PDL =!= 10% damage.
I also find it strange that you claim Aria of Passion devalues Ephramad's Ring. I fail to see how?
Re-read the post then? Each % PDL means you need more and more attack to take advantage of it.
If you're on DRK with a scythe and your target has 1000 DEF and you have 5000 ATK then you're above the ratio (5 compared to 4.5), so you can use ephramad's ring. If you have aria, your PDIF goes up to 5.5, so your ephramad PDL is useless. As you add PDL from gear, aria, etc you need more ATK to take advantage of the extra PDL. So...aria and the PDL gear you have (and are using) absolutely affect whether or not you can take advantage of more PDL.

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.
