And I'm not going to explain why 2-3 shadows alone won't keep you safe against moves than can strip 3+.

It really just seems like the JP system added Enhancements to 1hr JA + the first JA the job gets pre 75 after that. We'll probably see enhancements to Focus, Boost, Chakra and the like in the future.

You seem to be talking as if you are playing stupidly and getting hit by a TP move without shadows up. I don't play that way so it allows me to gear more appropriately for dealing more damage.

Lol ok, please post a video or at least some evidence of you doing "all AA's as MNK on Difficult and some on VD" that aren't GK and you'll buy some credence. Also, AA HM is capable of taking more than 3 shadows so GG there. I'd love to know how you always have 2+ shadows up for every WS that comes your way. Hell, even Nins can easily get one shotted fighting VD HM during brazen rush, and they have 5 shadows, but feel free to keep going. Sylph.Peldin

Not here to rub epeens with you. My whole point was that Hes. Gloves +1 do not suck because they give more accuracy than Otronif, and there are plenty of valuable situations where additional accuracy is better than the PDT/MDT that Otronif provide. If you don't agree with that. Fine. That's your inaccurate opinion. And yet you've failed to name any such situations except for your fictional scenario where you never ever get tp'd in AA fights with less than multiple shadows up.
But that's your inaccurate opinion. Shiva.Alistrianna

Shiva.Alistrianna said: » Looked around at the pages you quoted and it showed one confirmed path for Tinhaspa of: Accuracy+15, DEX+12, DMG+5 This likely means the STR Path is similar so Im guessing Attack+15, STR+12, DMG+5 This officially marks the death of Oatixur having a higher Damage than Oatixur and better stats on either path. Fair well my friend, you have indeed served me well T.T Oatixur DMG after Maths = 202 Tinhaspa DMG Naked = 199 Tinhaspa Augmented = 204 As for which path to chose, I did not see what the 3rd path is on that post Alistrianna provided but for now, I would recommend having both lol <.<; Use DEX/Acc Path for anything that has HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE Amounts of Evasion, such as AAs or the Yorcia Tier IV NM or the Tier V Khamir Drifts NM after It has leveled up 2 or 3 times O.o; Use STR/Attack Path for anything that doesn't dodge the IRS to completely destroy it. Both of these have more Accuracy than Oatixur so you cant really go wrong on either end but even the guys that own Spharai will want to take note that the DEX path has a total of +29 Accuracy So any serious MNKs will probably need these. ***Edit*** For those who are currently Building Spharai and are curious about Spharai vs Tinhaspa. *IF* my guess on the STR Path is correct: 119 Spharai only outperform STR Path Tinhaspa by 1.2% This is checked with Moten's Spreadsheets under controlled conditions. For those unaware, 1.2% is incredibly small. That's actually the reason why it is not recommended to TP in Tantra Body+2 While Impetus is up because the DPS is only 1.something% Higher than using Thaumas Body and TPing in Tantra is risky because if at any moment your Accuracy falls, your Damage is hurt significantly (1 miss and your Critical Damage Resets, yaddayadda) tldr; **If you Own 119 Spharai, cheers. Its still awesome, love it enjoy it but I would recommend you still get an Accuracy Tinhaspa for tricky targets **If you are currently BUILDING Spharai. You might wanna consider stopping for now just so you can save yourself some time, money and disappointment from the weapons being essentially TIED to theoretical STR Path Tinhaspa. I personally will stop my progress on Spharai for now if my guess on STR path is correct. Hope this info helps Blew a ton of Airlixir...

The pdt paths are interesting. The other paths seem useless, and acc paths can be used as VS gear at the same time probably as they come with STR. Going to do a comparison piece by piece with otronif+1 or lithelimb cap because I think qaaxo peices are only interesting defensive wise. The wisest choice for otronif+1 is 10 acc 4% pdt so I'm going to assume these stats.
Body : Qaaxo advantage = str+3 / def +1 / ta +2 /mdb +2 otronif +1 = acc+5, pdt +1, counter +3 I would use qaaxo body probably : You slightly lose defensive wise though be aware of this. But you win a nice bonus offensive wise. Head : otronif head+1 is gimp since lithelimp cap. Comparing lithelimp to qaaxo then. Qaaxo is inferior to lithelimb on all relvant stats. Lithelimb gets str+2, dex+1, def+7, hp+2. gloves : qaaxo gains str+7, dex+2, def+1, acc+7, mdb3 otronif+1 gains hp +5, stp +7, pdt +1 I would use qaaxo gloves because the store tp is overall less useful than acc even though pure dame wise it's arguable. On the other hand defensive wise you get 3 mab, so it settles the choice if you hesitate. legs : qaaxo gains str+1, mab+2, acc +5 otronif+1 gains att 10, stp 6, pdt 1 I would use qaaxo also for the same reasons as the gloves. In general, having 4 pdt and 10 acc on otronif is difficult, so you are probably better defensive wise with qaaxo. feet : qaaxo gains str+4, dex+8, acc +16 (incl. dex), mab 2 otronif +1 gains att 2, stp 4, pdt 1 qaaxo obviously. The new endgame set is therefore lethelimb cap and qaaxo body/hands/feet/legs Shiva.Alistrianna

I was thinking Acc path myself but im not sure I want to get Acc/PDT paths just to do VD AA fights atm. Especially consider most ppl I know are only want to do PLD + RNG methods only.

Cor Brd Whm Mnkx2 Sam, doing outside NMs. Got a few Kis already they are not so bad but semi evasive. Can 6-Man, Also a Pld can replace a DD (may be needed on some NMs), as well a Thf if going for items drops since items are 75-150k plasma. Spam Tojil I say rack up points if your not already in the millions.
Buff Set: DPS: As usual, there will be no 100% best set, as things change quite a bit to set up, 2/3/4 song brd, low-man, alliance etc. Download Mote's Sheet and play with them yourself for your group(s). Mote's Hard Work (You will have to update gear and add augments etc.) If you are looking for some office software to use these sheets. LibreOffice It is free and works well. Sylph.Peldin

Quick question, How much RP is required to max out new Delve Armor/Weapons? I've been hearing loose reports here and there saying 5 Airlixir +2s?
What's lethelimb? I've been away for a while

This would be the very first I've heard of it costing more for weapons, are you sure? Last wave of Delve gear, it was equal cost to the armor at 3 each to max so if its 6 for Armor it *Should* be 6 for Weapon as well unless confirmed otherwise Sylph.Tigerwoods said: » What's lethelimb?

I Was just confirming gear. How about otron +1 feet leg hands da and PDT augments with thamous coat whirlpool mask for stuff that don't need accuracy
Then even Manibo leg feet hesych +1 hands the new body with accuracy augment whirlpool mask for stuff that needs accuracy? Well if u have unlimited plasm then yes get everything and rank 15 everything lol I'm going with hesy +1 legs gloves feli mask mani feet qaaxo body

It's the same RP progression as before, but Airlixirs only give half of their points 5/25/1000 instead of 10/50/2000 They give half to those pieces, or they just straight up give half of what they used to to everything?

Sylph.Peldin said: » So advocating that people spend dozens of millions of gil on Otronif +1 wasn't the brightest idea after all. I don't advocate anything to anyone, if you feel bad because you suck too much to get augments on otronif+1 that's your problem.
