Leave it to the guy who full times full usukane on MNK to say improving your gear is pointless. lol

Aren't you tired of throwing random and false claims on the forums. Seriously, you mad™. Min maxing in abyssea is really for losers. I can't think of a single normal mob that can survive 1 full Weapon skill which means any WS macro is useless. I'd say 99% of the time you save TP so as not to trigger "ruby" which as a consequence makes haste half as useful as what it should be, since haste no longer affects WS frequency like it should be. The "only" (though still great) benefit of haste is melee-dot-over-time and the lolz about killing a mobs 0.1 faster. Nevermind cleaves and brews where you gear is 100% useless. I forgot to add that 99% of the NMs you do are either done

* Turning your back until yellow is proced,
* Using gimp weapons to trigger red,
* Brewed in pack of 10 for reward/effort efficiency.

To make you rage a little more think about this : If a group A and group B try to build say FULL AF3+2 plus an empyrean, the fastest to get it will be the group that has the most movement speed. Mazurka > march. Discuss.

God I'm glad abyssea is over. Maybe we can use our macros now.

So what was the point of min-maxing in Salvage again? As soon as you can clear it consistently (not hard), it is useless. Gear is 100% useless on cleaves? Yeah, cause Charged Whisker oneshots without gear...

Whatever you like to think, min-maxing still helps a great deal and saves a lot of time. FFXI as a game has never been remotely challenging enough to REQUIRE min-maxing... nostalgia goggles again.

That's funny, I would've thought the group that used March on fights and Mazurka in-between would do better.

melee-dot-over-time

I hate to be pedantic (ok so I don't), but learn what D.O.T stands for!

So... your base delay is first reduced by Delay reduction gear or Dual Wield/Martial Arts. This value is used to calculate TP gain. Then Haste is applied, and the new value is used as your attack speed (delay/60 = time in seconds between attacks).

So using this formula, can a 2H user (aside from drk during last resort) reach the 80%?

(1-[10% Hasso + 3% Sword Grip])*(1 - 76.5 haste) = 0.20445

OK, it's close, but not quite there. Bolter's roll would need to be added with anything but a 9 (unlucky roll) for 2%+.

I don't see any other weapon delay gear on wiki, but there is probably some that isn't linked to the delay page. Not sure if SAM gets any bonus to hasso for extra weapon delay-, but I'm mainly interested for my WAR anyway.

hasso is ja haste it is not DR (hasso doesn't affect tp/hit)

and can still add blitzer roll for more DR

Dot is damage over time baby

facepalm

That's the point. You said DoT over time. Unless you're referring to the derivative of DoT, you were being redundant.

Precisely^^

Fun idea, instead of replying and offering nothing and just trying to put people down, why don't you try being useful, and correct the errors you see. Or is that to hard for you? Or are you just afraid you'll get told how wrong you are, again, like every other time you do it.
