How many GMT based statics/FC's are there in Gilgamesh? Heard there's a few of them. I'm gunna move server before the expansion hits so might as well start looking now.

crazy question, is anyone else's server spearless, or is Malboro the only one that still waiting to see Bahamut drop one?

I don't have any info personally but the server is pretty huge population and end game wise so there probably is some around.

also we had like 10-15 spears in my fc but I mean, I'm the only dragoon and I got no spears.

I need confirmation of a token loot system in 3.0 from SE before I pull my hair out, I've gotten 3 drops in 3 months.

I have yet to obtain a DRG piece from the second coil. And that is farmable for crying out loud ;___ ;

Just finished my right side today with the Dreadwyrm ring drop. ^o^

I really feel for the Ninja in my group though. He hasn't gotten anything for the left nor the right side yet. Literally.

Most of the loot went to our SMN and healers, with a decent amount to the tanks, bard, and me.

Btw Aiurily, I just noticed, you're in Xenos and Boks static/FC right?

This is my current stat as a dragoon. My dragoon doesn't go to coil anymore so my accuracy isn't a huge concern right now and should be fixable after this week's tome drop (nobody rolling on it for primary lot anymore).

Now, my question is, is it normal for me to keep letting phlebotomize drop off at 401 skill speed? I thought it would be somewhat normal on opening salvo due to the ogcds and jumps I weave in but on the second salvo and on, where there's less ogcd to be used, my phlebotomize keeps dropping off even with me mashing/queuing the gcds as fast as I can. I use /chotbar change macros but no /ac macros on the gcds (for combo page select sort of stuff) so I do have the ability to queue actions (at 280+ ms though). I mean, phlebotomize should be approaching 0 but never actually fall off the target status as I reapply it right? The icon stays there but the number resets back to its maximum? Doesn't happen with me?

I have a similar problem with warrior's berserk. People claim to be able to hit 9 actions under berserk at 360+ skill speed but I cannot hit 9 actions at 400 skill speed on a dummy in front of the fc house facing the ground. Is it action queuing vs/and/or latency issue? I really have no idea. I was told I'm hitting 460+ at 4 minutes ish with this gear set with no party bonus, food and potions but I can't help but wonder how much dps I'm missing out on just from this phleb issue (And possibly chaos too? Never really paid attention to that one's drop off tick). I realize there are other factors such as ogcd usage order and auto attack up time from using a controller with no lock on so my number might be even lower than what others would achieve with the same gear but I'm asking anyway.

It's 390SS for 9GDCs in berserk and yes, it's heavily reliant on latency. Also, the timing of Berserk is crucial. It needs to be used so the animation of it finishes right as you're about to use a Heavy Swing or Butchers Block, etc.

Also, yes, it's normal for Phlebotomize to fall off. As I'm with shitty EU latency, my mine falls off until I'm around 430SS... And if you're suffering from 280ms, I'd seriously get WTFast or Pingzapper and change data-centers.
