no yun, the reaving wind pattern is at low hp, and always follows this pattern of reaving wind x (1-3) -> calam wind x (1-3), always doing same number of each in a row. the list even shows when that pattern begins to happen.

direct quote from wikipedia "As its HP decreases, Zirnitra will begin to spam Reaving Winds in succession to one another. After it's done doing this (at a max of three times) it unleashes the same number of Calamitous Winds as he did Reaving Winds (Ex: If it does three Reaving Winds, it will follow up with three Calamitous Winds)."

clearly noted by a different syntax of "reaving wind x2, calam wind x2" on the list

lorz, i said i was feeding it minimal tp, by punching, with shadows. so i could "make it do its next tp move" yet not spam them.

If you beat the nm does it really matter who is wrong or right as long as you beat the nm @.@ also every player plays diffrent and make rough decisions based on there play then base there normal play against the foes play then adjust. To be honest no one person plays out a nm fight the same second by second.

it has nothing to do with your attitude. the only thing that had to do with your attitude was that people were a little harsher about the evasion thing, and that was a while back now.

honestly, though, if i were to test it i would probably try to do it while feeding minimal tp. like i said earlier, it's hard to take everything into account when telling someone else what you did in a fight, so i don't know if you were testing with varying amounts of tp feed.

This, etc.

My opinion on the matter (like I said I don't know who's right because I've never fought the mob) is that since that particular mob is from *that*(*** you Scylla) patch, it very well could have a weird casting pattern somehow relating to TP move frequency.

However, it's not really going to be all that easy to prove either way unless you(or Yuna) give Lorzy and I a bunch of samples with varying amounts of TP feeding(differing amounts of SB etc) and other stuff I'm sure neither of you want to do just(but hey if you want to I'm not stopping you...) to prove that you're right(or wrong). Especially given that I'm sure that neither Lorzy or I care all that much about some outdated-content monster that doesn't drop anything of particular interest. D:

i have to admit that was a lot clearer than your previous posts, except do you mean that twilight knife reduces spell frequency aside from through tp drain?
through mp drain rather, even if you have 0 mp, you still drain his mp, when you drain a mob's mp you restrain it's spell cast rate.
really? i figured you meant something along those lines, since it'd be kind of strange to mention it otherwise since i don't think you'd drain all of its mp before killing it. but didn't know that was the case. interesting.
afaik you cant actually zero out a mob's mp, but when you steal mp much like you stealing the mob's tp you slow down their cast rate.

@laeticia
you do realise that many of the reaving winds were brought about without it hitting you or you hitting it right?

If you're arguing efficiency or whatever, it matters. For every fight there's a better way of doing it, and a not-so good way of doing it.

what does the actual tp feeding have anything to do with its "tp move" frequency in relation to spell casting frequency. why would it matter if it used tp at 150, or 200. according to her, it would do x amount of tp move, then x amount of silencega in some pattern that i cant invent. she mentioned nothing about amount of tp gained per tp move. also has anyone heard of aspiring a mob makes it cast less often? never heard anything like that. (obviously not considering aspiring it to 0 mp)

not sure what you're getting at here, i think we're mostly just talking about the nm itself at this point, and if you're saying we shouldn't be discussing that well, idc because it's somewhat interesting. and i'm learning stuff too. i don't think anyone cares too much about what sub to use for an nm (meaning like "lol at using that sub you should use this other sub"), but if they do, i somewhat agree with you. i think they both did well enough to deserve a "good job," and so i did say that. it's also interesting to discuss what's optimal though; even if you can do things, i think it's neat to learn to do them better or easier.

ideally the only thing that bothered me is how she handled calamitous winds that is forcing her to sub whm.

more like you think there is a finite pattern where as im saying it just has to do with how often it TPs, i dont see anything ficticous about that.

yuna's said like three times now that what she meant was that OVERALL spell frequency is affected by tp frequency, and NOT a specific pattern. i also reiterated this because originally, it was unclear what she meant and at one point i think we all thought it was supposed to be a specific pattern. whether or not this is true, i have no idea.

i gave you evidence every move in order, as detailed as i could be, and you gave me "i see a pattern i just wont explain it".

so if we had a rdm chainspell aspir a mob, it would never cast or? or 18 dncs all doing aspir samba? where did you get that info?

also to your comment about reaving wind happening regardless of tp gain... well its a tp move. so either the mob has regain (possibly?) or it doesnt, i fought it on firesday, so in case it was like erucas having regain on firesday, and puks on windsday, fire is definitely not this monster's element. so no, unless it has kirin-like regain, it could not just do reaving winds without gaining tp. and for the sake of argument, even if that was true, there still is no pattern lol.

yes lorzy and i gave FREQUENCY not just pattern. which ive also disproven whatever theory that was, at least 3x. you can reiterate wrong things over and over, doesnt make it any better really. there is no pattern and no relation to spell vs tp move frequency. 1 v 2 v 3 v 4, all in different orders. (except the reaving > calam at low hp yadda yadda).

well i can see the similarity but it wouldn't be a given, since mobs (and players) can only tp at 100% or special case, whereas players can cast as long as they have enough mp to cast whatever spell or more.

and mobs can run out of mp, certainly normal mobs can, and i think an old strategy for soloing suzaku involved making it run out of mp before chainspell.

oh twilight knife must be another fact that has no evidence. theres tons of different ways to take mp, many similar to twilight knife. samba, and aspir knife, and plenty of other obscure weapons as one, and spells and abilities. how come this is the first anyone has heard of it, and no mention on wikipedia about any of this?

what i find funny is lorzy is so eager to jump on this jibberish because yuna said it, even though he's never heard of it himself. but i give a list of every tp move and spell a mob does, and somehow i did it wrong. did not put words in your mouth, must i go back and quote 5 different posts?

and in that "frequency" how long would you say, roughly since you dont have a time stamp, silencega went off in intervals?

no, proving relative frequency would need testing of varying tp feed. to prove whether spell frequency is affected by tp frequency, you'd need to have a low tp feed and a high tp feed. you say frequency but it seems more like you're talking about a specific pattern involving silencega you're looking for, which yuna has said multiple times does not exist.

please do, i dont remember saying that it does silencega imediately after Xreaving winds, if you cant quote me saying those exact words then i'll concede.


i dont know lorzy, and im pretty sure he doesnt know me, sooooooooo i guess you are just playing the unpopular card. something something they dont like me so they will disagree with me.

you realize frequency is a count in relation to another variable, not necessarily time? its a graph of silencega vs tp move. time is irrelevent as you only mentioned tp move frequency, therefore that being the independant variable. you are comparing silencega vs tp move, period. yeah i dont need to teach 5th grade math today. good luck lol.

so when i ask you a question about how long was the silencega interval which you previously said it spams, and you just high tail it out of here?

it's interesting if it's true. whether or not it is, i don't know. similar to how i said i don't know whether yuna is right about the pattern, and spell frequency vs. tp frequency.

what i do know is you seem to be insisting that yuna means something that she's already tried to clear up. and i've tried to clear it up too. but you're not listening.

what i'm saying is i don't know who's right, but your testing does not disprove what yuna is saying. this is because what you THINK yuna is saying, and what yuna IS saying, are two different things.

what yuna is saying that silencega frequency vs. time is correlated with tp frequency vs. time. again, i don't know if this is true, just clearing stuff up.

hope that made things easier to understand.
