That would be awesome to know about the vulnerability down and LB.

I believe it also works with SMN to Bane off a mob with the debuff and spread it to further mobs for the duration of the dots (like with White Fires)

With the Mudra action delay, I was able to fix mine by allowing FFXIV to bypass the Packet filtering on my Network Firewall. Now I can fit all 3 easily within my GCD.

(Checking the ping to the Montreal server I only had 30 ms and yet I still had major delays (up to a full GCD))

How do you disable Packet Filtering specifically for FFXIV? Is that potentially unsafe?

I want faster mudras!

Yeah. It could be unsafe because it doesn't check any incoming packets.
But it only gives access to SEs server. So that would have to be compromised to cause an issue.
If your router has the option under Firewall settings you can set it there.

You can do a quick check by turning off your firewall to see if it makes a difference, prior to figuring out how to set it up.

Sorry if it seems like a dumb question, however I was looking at the different BiS that were posted

*0.201 Skill Speed Weight (0.5 second Murdra Delay)*

Crafted:

Flint Caviar - http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/OZDQ (+498.369 DEX)

Apkallu Omelette - http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/OZDR (+497.853 DEX)

Lava Toad Legs - http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/OZF4 (+497.638 DEX)

Black Truffle Risotto - http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/OZFY (+496.606 DEX)


Non-Crafted:

Lava Toad Legs - http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/OZDP (+491.896 DEX)

Flint Caviar - http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/OZDW (+491.88 DEX)

Apkallu Omelette - http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/OZDX (+491.278)

Black Truffle Risotto - http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/OZDS (+490.852 DEX)

From my understanding it would mean the crafted gear is better? I saw the dex higher on crafted gear, guessing based of how many secondary stats it can provide ? The follow up question is is the difference noticeable ?

[Dervy]

1) Yes Crafted gear is better
2) Yes, it's based on what secondary stats can provide
3) Yes and no. Noticeable on paper. But comparing a full i130 vs BiS crafted gear using a parser? Very unlikely due to RNG.

Though, if you obtain crafted pieces earlier on, you'll notice a significant difference in DPS. That is for certain.

hey guys, just came up with a BiS, what do you think? http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/PCT7

BTW i'm using 0.19 as stat weight for SS since i'm playing from EU on servers located in NA, with a fluctuating 130ms.
got t13 on farm for a while, really hoping to get those daggers soon.

Using the same skill speed weight I used for the sets in the OP, this one does come out slightly higher (+498.931), though 4x i110 left side may be pushing it for HP.

Thanks! Added to the OP.

[Aiurily]

i think the thing about pushing multiple crafted pieces is that it'll start heavily adjusting your actual stat weights eventually to the point where the baseline dex is too low for the weights to be relevant anymore. i don't think 5 pieces is pushing it, but you would have to simulate it for ninja to see i guess (at some point for the drg thread, with 9 pieces crafted with the highest theoretical weights, it did less dps than a set less crafted pieces and lower weights in simulator)

anyway, poverty melds v2 -

locking in an 18 acc belt/ring and lowering skillspeed weight to 0.18 (out of curiosity) ariyala spits out a different gearset that only has 369 skillspeed. as much of a real weight skill speed has, i'm still not very fond of it past a certain point, so it looks nicer than other crafted sets which get a good amount of their weight advantage from skill speed.
http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/PD61

weighing this vs noncrafted bis with 0.18 skillspeed weight, it's 5.135 more effective dex for only 2 melded pieces and vitality stays the same because of flint caviar vs catfish, though the real highlight for me is only having 369 skill speed and also having a great amount of det (411 det!) while being affordable; the only hard melds are accuracy +9 in 3rd/4th slots of both items (16%/10% iirc).

even if you're too poor/stingy/unlucky for that like i am, you can do 9/9 on one item and 9/6 on the other to get http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/PD5Y . it's 4.908 effective dex, 0.227 lower with lower det in exchange for higher crit/skillspeed, but still good especially for the cost. it'd probably take you less than 5m to craft and meld both pieces if your server prices are reasonable.

I feel ya here. Even with 399 skill speed, I'm having some TP issues in final coil, though I'm sure my Invig timing could be better 80% of the time. I'll always prefer more DET or Crit, even if the SS I'm sacrificing technically out weighs it by a few points.
