Alexander.Carrelo said: »Question about SAM weapons and NNI. :]
A friend of mine made a static for people who weren't around and missed out on the whole NNI gravy train. I was originally planning to join as BRD (been grinding away at both Gjallarhorn and Daurdabla), but then we found someone whose only Nyzul-friendly job is BRD. I recently got a Murasamemaru (ironically playing BRD at the time) for my Lv5 SAM and have been asked to level that for NNI instead.
I'll be finished leveling soon and wanted to ask about weapon options. I don't have SoA yet because I want a hard copy and am waiting until I'm in the US for a couple months this summer before I get one, so Delve weapons are out of the question. I'm still hoarding dynamis currency for my horn and HMP for my harp, so that rules out Amano and anything above Masa90.
I guess my question is this: is it worth spending the time making a Masamune that will probably never go above 90? I'm a little clueless and don't really understand how it stacks up against other options like Tomonari or even some of the available polearms. Been reading through SAM threads for a couple hours and haven't found any solid posts about the hierarchy. I would just go with Draca, Kanto or Tomonari if you feel like spending the gil. Not that Masa 90 is hard or anything but it is still a good chunk of time and since you are running around a lot in Nyzul you lose a lot of the benefit from aftermath. Thanks for the advice. :D I assume from your answer that Masa90 is still better though, so I guess I'll throw my instruments on the back burner and get that started while using Tomonari as a stopgap. They are about on the same level from my understanding, Masa pulls ahead a little bit if you can maintain the aftermath but in Nyzul that might not aways be possible so it's kinda an iffy call. I might end up using my SAM for other things too, don't wanna be a one trick pony. :D If they're so similar in strength though I might hold off on it then. :o
Nice pink bar lol I'm just a little bit jealous. XD

ISP related issues maybe? Just because a few people can't log on doesn't mean it's an issue with SEs servers
But, it might be, who knows.

Just wanted to add:
several ppl confirm being unable to log on and if they do, they keep d/c-ing
Possibly something SE done to the Servers.............
Not just Bismark, but several other servers and all over the world (France, Spain, Germany, UK, US, Argentina, Japan)
So it can't just be coincidence.
just saying
Possibly gonna nap it off til they fix it.

They are not store-able due to the simplicity of their attainment.

Nobody knows at this point. We flooded their twitter a little to try and speed up the recovery process for it.

BG.WIKI said: Damage appears to be based on weapon skill, number of runes, and typical Magic multiplier terms. The proposed formula for each hit is: Single Hit Damage = ( Main-hand weapon Skill × (0.5 + Number of Runes × 0.25) ) × Magic Multiplier Terms
Can someone translate this into dummy for me? (in reference to the JA lunge)
The way I read it is, if you had 10 mab then the magic multiplier term would be 1.1, I think.
So with 3 runes and 10 mab it'd be:
424 * 1.25 = 530
530 x 3 = 1590
1590 * 1.1 = 1749
Edit:
Not sure how to calculate magic bursts with lunge but I'd assume you'd just add .3 to magic multiplier term (For a 2 step Skillchain) and then add 0.05 respectively based on the number of WS's used in the chain.
Since it's calculation is different from standard spells I wouldn't assume this is how it works at the moment.
Does magic acc calculate in any way or irrelevant for this skill?

And I'm still waiting for mah pink bar!
Anyways, I'm in my "play with everything" phase on BLU. So I'm playing around with Chain Affinity, which is supposed to allow you to skillchain with yourself, correct? Well, I must be doing something wrong since I can't seem to skillchain with myself. I tried this combo:
Chain Affinity > Vorpal > Jet Stream
Nothing. Which should've been Impaction I believe.
Then I tried switching it around, but realized that the BLU spell will consume all my TP before using the weapon skill. And I got the same result.
So how exactly does that JA work? I'm gonna have to work on that ws trial soon and pretty sure I'm gonna be winging it alone when it happens (as I did for most of my dagger ws trial; Wild Flourish became my bff).

Thats exactly how CA works my normal skillchain is CDC > pop CA > amorphix spikes which does darkness. Only SC I remember from back when I was level blu was Red Lotus Blade > jet stream.... or it could have been death scissors. Vorpal blade > hysteric barrage also works so if neither of those work then its your timing.

Okay, then I'll try it again today. I did try doing this while half-asleep, so the timing thing could definitely be it. Thanks ^.^

Would you make the dark great sword or war gaxe as your delve weapon? I have the plasm and im torn!
"Well Kiriah, play the job you like most"
At the moment, I really don't have a preference. I did SAM I like sam but im really torn on the SRK/WAR weapons. I would love some input from anyone who may have made the drk and war weapons. :)

1) COR is a good way to get into Delve groups. You're not going to be sought after for your DD capabilities so the gearing requirements are less strict.
2) PUP still isn't going to replace any top-tier DDs. The increase that comes with Alternator is a nice relative increase, but PUP still falls behind. You may be able to get into plasm runs, if you're lucky or know the group leader.
3) SAM is doing pretty well.
4) You can only go down one route with each piece.
5) :D

Ok... I'm not good at forums or twitter. I tried to support the thing on twitter by re-tweeting a few days ago and just added "Eriina" to it. But I didnt get a pink bar yet and think it's very likely I did it wrong.
Is there a time frame on pink bar turn around? Did I even submit it correctly? Am I too late?
Is there a more appropriate thread to pose this question in?
Sorry and thank you!
