Artifact Armor 4 idea

[Atomic_Skull]

I gnashed my teeth a bit at Tantra Hands +2 getting 3% Haste... I was hoping they'd just adjust the haste values eventually so 25% = 25%... not 25% = 24.xx%...

They can't really because it uses an n/1024 scale and changing it would require a major rewrite of their code.

The wasted haste irks me a little - but not as much as when I see people try to justify their Twilight Belt MNK. I'd rather see SE lighten up a bit on the Black Belt items than see a bunch of Twilight Belt monks running around.

Except that, in many cases twilight beat black belt and brown belt.

Full AF3+2 + Black Belt VS Zelus tiara/ AF3+2 body hands legs feet + twilight

15 subtle blow 14 str -5% pdt 3/1024 haste 2% KA rate VS -5 eva 15% 2% DA

If fstr and attack cap twilight easily wins, but you wouldn't know that seeing as you are attached to your trophy item.

Also for badguardian, the JSE neck was shown to be better than faith torque. So again more trophy.

They could, however, adjust the equipment to give values closer than the displayed value. Some are rounded up, others are rounded more than 1 down, or even more than 2 down. It seems rather random.

Yeah, im 100% sure now you are nothing more than a troll. lol

Btw, head has perfect counter damage increase too,.

[Monchat]

yeah because counter damage up is totally worth waiting 2 seconds of job abilty delay.

[Kimble]

Wait, using perfect counter is bad now?

[Seriha]

I'd avoid the collective "We". I believe we've already established that the entire RdMelee lot is far too disjointed to be referred to collectively. The insinuation is perfectly accurate when applied to RdMelees like Duelle and Hayward. It simply happens to be inaccurate or less accurate when applied to more reasonable or moderate posters.

No, I'm quite comfortable in using "we" for anyone looking to put the job's martial standing in a better place, statistically and, in turn, socially. We also know you're not interested and we also know there are others like you that enjoy indulging in cheap shots at any given opportunity. So, while it's somehow become your holy crusade to save FFXI from stupidity and try to shut us up and constantly remind us how bad we are as people and players, we're not going anywhere and we hardly hurt you as much as you'd want others on the fence to believe.

For damage output yes, every JA usage is 2 seconds penalty, everyone knows this, hence why PUP and DNC suck at DD.

[Kimble]

So, no job should ever use any JA ever. Gottcha.

You can but in this case you use something called "macro", because apparently you are not aware that zelus and AF3+2 hands don't exclude each other, learn2play.
