Lakshmi.Amymy said: » What's harder? Making A mythic to 119 or empry to 119 from scratch? If you haven't done any of the mythic prereq's, it's probably about even. If you have, and gil isn't an issue, mythic is easier by far. There are generally quite a few Alexandrite available, HMP's dross/cinder not so much. Lakshmi.Amymy said: » What's harder? Making A mythic to 119 or empry to 119 from scratch? Mythic. The 50 days of assualts and nyzul consumes a time that you can easily farm enough cash for materials, thats not mentioning the alex. Only downside of empy is the lack of hmp and expensive cinder if you happen to do a cinder empy. The cash itself is less troublesome than the pain of lack of hmp, and just need one person to completely shift the offer/demand equilibrium.

Also, there are bonus for aditional person you bring with you. Ah, my mistake.

If mdb affect sc, that would imply sc possess a certain number of mab, what i dont think its true.

If mdb affect sc, that would imply sc possess a certain number of mab, what i dont think its true. According to the wiki, it affects "all magic damage", including elemental weaponskills. However, there's no statement on skillchain damage. Crevox said: » Pantafernando said: » Crevox said: » Quote: Would lowering MDB on a target increase its skillchain damage taken? Repost unanswered question on new page for visibility. If mdb affect sc, that would imply sc possess a certain number of mab, what i dont think its true. According to the wiki, it affects "all magic damage", including elemental weaponskills. But no statement on skillchain damage. Elemental weaponskill has mab in their modifiers. I dont know the general formula, but wildfire has a mab term, so reducing mob mdb will increase wildfire dmg. SC are magic damage.
That's why a random Light SC will turn off Yumcax's regen in the WKR. I don't believe SCs are affected by MAB, but just because they don't have a MAB doesn't mean that reducing MDB wouldn't raise their damage. Because MDB reduces magic damage wholesale. (Hence why RUN takes stupid little damage from any magic.) FaeQueenCory said: » SC are magic damage. That's why a random Light SC will turn off Yumcax's regen in the WKR.

(Hence why RUN takes stupid little damage from any magic.) I believe sc are closer to enspells and rune dmg than from casted magics or magic ja/ws. Enspells, according to wikia, does not benefit from mab. Instead benefit from enhancing skill. It does not benefit from mab, but as well arent affected by mdb. So, its not correct mdb reduces magic as a whole. I would go as far to say, if something doesnt benefit from mab, it will bypass mdb also, because mab and mdb belong to same term, but thats just my opinion. I was taking a long break from the game. What is the best R Acc food for rng right now?
Going through the story again on an alt and I have a RotZ story-ish question.

What are the worthwhile items to buy with go for gs? Shaded spetacles + goldsmithing apron + goldsmithing emblem + way of goldsmithing = 205k gp would be the amount of gp i would need total to perform goldsmithing in high performance? Thanks in advance. Pantafernando said: » Hi. What are the worthwhile items to buy with go for gs?

I have a question, so I'm aware you can resist charm from Brainjack, I did SSR yesterday and just wore ilvl 119 gear with all the magic evasion and never was hit.
Using the same tactics would you be able to resist Fanatic Dance charm? I want to do the RoE objectives for Dynamis - San d'Oria and could deal with the charm as I have a whm mule who could hold the mobs but it would still be inconvenient. Pet job isn't possible as my only pet job, BST, hasn't been used for so long I wouldn't be comfortable using it.

Pet job isn't possible as my only pet job, BST, hasn't been used for so long I wouldn't be comfortable using it. In my experience, at least, i have never resisted it. Seems like fanatic dance is kinda of 1h ability, the bst charm, and it can charm 100% in players. Even in fodder like dynamis bst, if you kill pet before bst 1h, he will charm one player regardless being fodder and you having ilv gear. Well, guess I'll struggle through.
Enemy BST charm can be resisted (though the message says it "misses", rather than "resists"). However, it's possible that some of the WS's, like with Terror seem to have impeccable accuracy, while others don't. I've never been able to resist Dance/Gala Macabre, for example.

It wasnt a resist due to special ability like fealty or asyllum? Nope, though if I'm on RUN I can do it with some regularity against higher level enemies. I do recall resisting it on THF as well. For what it's worth, there are 2 different charm statuses in the files, with the same name/description/icon. I suspect one is BST charm (as used by players) and the other is Virelai/NM BST charm/WS charm.
Are the Lv15/25/35 Salvage gears sendable via same account? :x

Now that APradar has gone open-source, it is now on github and anyone can activate the pro. http://apradar.com/showthread.php?1747-ApRadar-is-now-Open-Source&s=88baf0fee6b18549614183693d1f0db2
My question is how, anyone smarter than me when it comes to this *** (shouldn't be very hard) help me out? I'm talking like, walk me through it like I'm a *** 2nd grader. me and github don't get along at all. Can anyone aim me at the usual strategy for Shadow Lord on Difficult? Never done it before or seen anything about it.
It's been a while, but I can offer some tips which someone else can surely expand/correct.
- Melees should sub NIN since most of his moves are aoe. - Bring holy waters and echo drops since he also has a curse WS and silence WS. I believe he gains physical or magical damage immunity for 30 seconds after using those WSs, I just can't remember which immunity is tied to which WS. - He will regularly cast Fire-based nukes, so Barfira obviously. - In the second phase of the fight, he WSs much more frequently and uses Implosion constantly, which is a strong aoe dark magic damage WS. Having a way to reduce this damage, such as Dark Carol II, Lux Valiance, etc. is rather necessary since it's going to hit everybody and deal a decent amount of damage.
