Your TP will reset when you change... I think from the tathlum to the discuss but not visa-versa. Just a heads up. (Might be from discuss to tathlum, but whatever)

I know of a few ways you could do it, but definitely not the most efficient ways. If you still want to do it and don't get a response I'll give my input.

So if I'm understanding correctly, you are saying it can be done but not worth it, because I loose TP one or the other way.

And yea, understand that and it would be bad. But if not able to do it, how should I so use it?, add in my Q Tathlum manuel each time I will engage a mob?, and keep having my maccro ingame with the
/equip range "name of weapon"?

In the situation that you are actually pulling frequently, it would just be better to stick with your ranged weapon instead of losing your TP from the previous mob. Although to be honest, I can't think of a situation where you would be pulling, or would need to bring the mob to everyone else.

As a thief, I'd recommend you just fulltime your ranged piece (dual wield bonus, 3%).

If you want to switch weapons, I'd recommend bringing something in when idling. So like, you'll switch to your tathlum when "engaged" and then switch to your discus when "idling". Probably the most useful and easiest way to show you this is through my bard spellcast - I switch my instruments manually (previously I did it in my spellcast but I found it easier to do it in the macro itself). Although, I make sure that my engaged/standard set always brings in my haste instrument.

In my spellcast, "engaged" is "standard" and I just switch out the specific pieces when idling. Rules and sets that have to do with what I'm talking about are bolded.

Do you have to set a cast time for ranged attacks to make sure it doesn't swap it out too fast?

Also, As others have said, I would recommend you fulltime your ranged as well.

Go get Ungur Boomerang to pull abby with if you are just pulling. The evasion is nice

Hello everyone,

First of all, thank you for all of the kind posts regarding my range attack questions.

I have yet a 3 requests to ask of you, if anyone should have some free time and help me update my THF XML with following. CHR Gear set for /dnc sub & a gear set for when using Aeolian Edge sense it apparently using both DEX,INT upon WS. And last request is for /cansel plugin on sneak/invis when sub nin or dnc.
And yes I'm very new to THF, lot to learn, so advices are welcome ^^ Thank you

I go alot solo, so when I do I go /DNC sub like everyone else and I use 1 dagger and a shield. But I noticed when I do Curing Waltz 3, it is verlow compare to what i see other player around me have done as sub DNC. I guess my avarge Curing Waltz range is 324 to max 365 what I atleast have seen so far.

So I was thinking sense DNC is about CHR when it comes to certain tings, 1 such as Curing Waltz, I wanted to add in a few pieces of CHR gear when curing myself or others in hope that it can increese my curings in general.

So I was wondering if anyone could be able and add in a gear set for when sub /dnc on following things, so I can add my own CHR gear in the set ^^

Request 1: Gear set for when DNC sub

Animated Flourish (Provoke)
Desperate Flourish (Weighs Down)
Violent Flourish (Stun)
Reverse Flourish (Convert TP)
Drain Samba I/II
Haste Samba
Aspir Samba
Quickstep
Box Step
Stutter Step
Curing Waltz I/II/III- Singel target
Divine Waltz (Curaga)
Healing Waltz (Erase)

Request 2: Gear set for when using Aeolian Edge specific

If I'm correct this WS is based on magic, and uses things like MAB gear correct? And along side with equipping MAB gear, should I then mix in some STR, DEX, AGI?

Request 3: Cansel plugin for Sneak/invis when sub nin or dnc

Tessy's THF XML Can be found HERE

Thank you!

Code

Those are the sets you'll need for DNC specific JAs,

Code

Those are the rules for equipping the gear.

This is a decent AE set I whipped together, doubt it's close to the best, but it's all fairly easy to obtain.

I can't remember the syntax for canceling right now or I'd post that for you too ._. It's on almost all of my XMLs, but I'm on my iPad right now and the computer is so far away D: and it's dark!
