I got a question Plz help. Ok I started working on atma drg weapon. So far while in drg fate farming I got 2x bull, 2x twin, scale and scorpion atma, my question is can I use the extra bull and twin in my next weapon or I can't use it on other jobs since I've obtain it as a drg? Which fallow up on my 2nd question, since I have the quest activated already for drg, can I switch to another job to farm atmas for my drg?

[Tilgung]

Extras can be used on other weapons, yeah. And any job can be used as long as they have their Zenith weapon equipped.

[Butcherboy]

So I can swap to my mnk for tagging purposes during fate to hunt down down crystal for my drg? Can u get an atma crystal if u don't have a zenith weapon? I ask this also because I have a friend who is whm with her zenith but farm crystals as her blm and she have gotten all 8 of her crystal for her whm weapon as a blm, but if I remember it right she have bought her self a primal staff(Rowena token) before 2.2, so I'm not sure if she have her zenith on blm while farming crystal for her whm.

Sort of related to another thread ("What Makes You a Top DPS Player?"), but wanted to brainstorm:

In a fight like Levi or Ifrit, a player who tab DoTs the nails/orbs will get more DPS than direct damage. A player who tab DoTs the nails/orbs in the correct order will get even more damage. A player who partially DoTs the primary nail, then fully DoTs the next objects in the correct order will get even more damage out.

In Leviathan, the melee player who positions themselves to slide into the tail will gain a half or full GCD compared to the player who runs across the platform after sliding.

First, on the subject of sliding: the Head is able to be attacked a little sooner (~1 GCD) than the tail during/after Body Slam. Time enough for a HT > Phleb > cross over, maybe lose ~.2 to .5 seconds of GCD time.

Second, I'm wondering aloud if it's worth losing a few rounds of autoattacks to spread DoTs between both head and tail, never needing to use unbuffed filler Full Thrust. Like...
(Tail) HT > Ph > IDC > I > (Head) DC > Phleb > Heavy > (tail) Ph > etc

I don't have a pen and paper to compare sticking to tail over spreading to it + head, nor do I really have a lot of weight to say whether it's practical or not. But I've been doing it (and spreading between Spumes of course) and it seems effective.

Theres a way better thing than to slide from an orb to another, its called spineshatter / dragonfire dive. No time loss.

Well of course, but SSD/DFD aren't up all the time.
