Note to Mages

[Nvr]

I editied my post to include wiki detail on Mictlantecuhtli.

[Yugl]

I usually ask if they have the spell and reiterate the spell types (AM, Aga III, and so forth). If they're honest, I might put up with them not having the spell depending on what other options are available at the time. If they're dishonest and I find out midrun, they're done for.

Now I wish I was using a high DMG lance instead of OaT while I am very happy with my average Drakes I will never see a huge epeen one ; ;

OAT ftw.

Your Mictl damage SS in your sig is weak, you have a relic and cant break 7k? Even though it takes 2x damage, if not more, that's pretty sad. I'm going to have to agree that you either do not have a relic or are gimp and that is why you blurred out your name. That looks more like a weak weapons peak damage to me.



Sekka+1 dex/acc for the jin, and the only hi I've done to it with 85 kannagi, and didnt get any double or triple attack procs, it died before I ever got a second ws, and I haven't fought it since on ninja. Only buffs I had in either was a meat mithkabob/atma/cruor buffs and berserk.

Uh, he has 12.5% resistance to slashing, katanas are slashing damage. He has 50% resistance to piercing, as in polearms, aka 6.9k is half of what I could really do to him. Do some research before making fallacious remarks.

At this point I'd honestly say you're better off just taking low damage numbers out of your sig. I had nothing to do with this round, but Mict? Ephemerals? Buzzflies? Overall, none of these are good examples anyways. Drakesbane is one of the strongest WS in the game, so of course people are going to give you crap when you post numbers than pretty much anyone can beat.

True, but they act as if that -50% piercing means nothing, when obviously it's going to make a huge difference compared to someone smacking it with slashing or blunt. I'll go filter through 200 screenhots for something acceptable I suppose.

Why not just post damage you've done to a real mob? I even said that was a shitty Hi, and I used a terrible weapon for the Jin, stop thinking you're awesome when you won't even post your characters name.

Even taking the damage reduction into account with him, 7k is not that impressive of a number on him. It's not a horrible number by any means, but it's still a magnified amount of damage by enough to not be boast worthy.

And yes Blitzrhal (sp?) can hit but not proc if the stun from it procs. Hopefully they either make it able to proc even with the stun procing or switch it out with another thunder based spell that does not have said problem. I think the main problem with 1k needles is not really the acc but the time it takes to cast it without being interrupted or land unclean.

For Blitzstrahl to successfully trigger a proc, the mob must resist the additional stun effect to it, to the point that sometimes it takes removing all gear and even equipping a Terra's Staff to drop your magic accuracy down.

For 1000 needles it's both the accuracy and the cast time. I can't tell you the number of times I'll cast 1000 needles with Burst Affinity, Convergence, Apollo's Staff, Atma of the Merciless Matriarch, Atma of the Ultimate, Ascetic's Gambir, etc, and still miss the mob, and it not even be a mob that's resistant to the light element at all. 1000 needles just has horrible accuracy as is, and coupling that with such a long cast time makes it probably the worst proc spell in the game in my opinion.

Wow thus thread has been derailed for almost two full pages now. Let's try and get back to the original topic before a GM locks this please. tho the title could of used a sub title or something. Thought by title alone that this was going to be a omfg I hate all mages Grrr type of op but it isn't. Which is cool, and just someone saying something that probably irks more than just him. I my self have not run into said problem spells wise but more so not having people have all of their blue procs for the weapon they are using that their job can do. Example a ninja not having Ku because their too lazy to go get it or a mnk not having asuran fists or a pld not having a certain sword skill that use a blue proc that no other sword wielding job can do because it's PLD main Onry.

RE: BLU's still needing Mind Blast

don't know if it was just a fluke or what, but it seems everytime we had Dajnic go to Nyzul on BLU....we'd run into @#$@#$@#$ Soulflayers.
