Last Resort effect\recast.
Desperate blows 5\5.
Diabolic Eye 4\5 or 5\5.
Dark seal 1\5 if you did 4\5 DE.
Edit:
Gonna quote my question from end of last page, because I'm psyched about the drop.
Soooo.
Corustanci for THF, better mainhand than Aluh?
I happened to get one for my mule, and yeah.. :p(before Fajin too, beat that!)
Edit2!:
I should've mentioned that I meant for situations where I'll be using either or (Like dynamis when dualboxing thf with oynos offhand)

Aluh Jambiya will be a better mainhand in dynamis. For offhand, Str-magian will be better than Coruscanti. The only time Coruscanti will beat these daggers is Abyssea (I would recommend Aluh/Corus there), stuff so weak that you are capped attack/fstr, and glowing.
Oynos should only be used until haste procs at which point you should swap to a better damaging dagger. Not sure about what you use to dualbox, but if you are using 2 dd's I can understand it would be difficult; however, if one is a mage, it should be hasting your Thf so that it doesn't have to use Oynos.

So, if you don't proc after some JA's do you kill?
I'm OCD and have to proc everything.
I see this said a lot in regards to a higher DMG dagger (I Mandau/Aluh) but really wouldn't mind subbing THF Dagger based on how often I back turn.
I just don't put much weight in TH over 3...

I just melee stuff til it's either procced or dead.
I never WS unless I proc though, but I never turn around either.

I'm roughly 212 average on THF/DNC w/ a WHM alt. When I'm not so tired I swap to DNC/??? and have the alt WHM/TH3 and spike pretty good numbers. (500+ on occasion)
Mostly based on camps I'm sure, I do DC birds and EP everything else in Bubu basically.
Curious since my playtime is nil and I'm online when my friends are asleep, so Dyna is always an option.

As stated few posts up I go BLU\DNC + THF\DNC, and I get 300-350 currency and 20-30 forgottens on average.
I only really farm bubu, and I've been doing DC scorps, DC birds and DC mandies\ep efts lately

When you do Sneak or Trick Attack, does the gear for those abilities need to be equipped before the ability to get the added bonus, or only before your attack/WS lands?

Just has to be on for the hit itself.

Did I write this correctly? Code <if spell="Mage's Ballad*">
<if buffactive="Pianissimo">
<action type="equip" when="precast" set="precast" />
<action type="equip" when="midcast" set="buffs" />
<action type="midcastdelay" delay="0.5" />
</if>
<action type="equip" when="precast" set="precast" />
<action type="equip" when="midcast" set="buffs" />
<action type="midcastdelay" delay="1.0" />
</if>
With the pianissimo change I want to swap my gear more quickly, otherwise I stay in precast gear when the song goes off. :(

Question regarding SAM AF3. Do the pieces like Unkai Kote +2 need to be equipped while performing the WS under Sekkanoki, or just when the JA fires off? Same question for Sune-Ate and Sengikori.

Only for when JA goes off mate.
If it enhances it, equip for JA, then swap to WS gear.

Ah awesome, thanks. Was worried I've been doing it wrong this whole time and needed it equipped.

And why would you think that?
Chain Affinity gear you don't and any other JAs of the sorts.

Is there any way to have Spellcast change your macro books when you change jobs without using AutoExec?
By Quetzacoatl 2012-12-12 23:24:52
So i have two builds each for Scythe (Normal TP + Aftermath) and Greatsword on my DRK, and I want to be able to have SC swap in my GreatSword set after I cast dark magic:
Code <if spell="Drain*|Aspir*|Endark|Absorb-STR|Absorb-DEX|Absorb-VIT|Absorb-AGI|Absorb-INT|Absorb-MND|Absorb-CHR|Absorb-ACC|Absorb-Attri|" />
<if equipmain="Apocalypse" buffactive="Aftermath">
<action type="equip" when="precast" set="FastCast" />
<action type="equip" when="midcast" set="DarkMagic" />
<action type="equip" when="aftercast" set="ApocAftermath" />
</if>
<else>
<action type="equip" when="precast" set="FastCast" />
<action type="equip" when="midcast" set="DarkMagic" />
<action type="equip" when="aftercast" set="TPGear" />
</else>
</if>
do I put an elseif at the bottom in there or what do I need to do to have it swap into my GS set when I have GS equipped?

Chain Affinity gear you don't and any other JAs of the sorts. If you're referring to Mavi Kavuk +2, you need it equipped during the spell during CA also.

Two minutes and two casts of Queasyshroom instantly demonstrates that you need to have it equipped. You're kinda late on that one.
EDIT: and I'm 12 seconds late in posting!

I'm not entirely sure I understand the request and would potentially want to see the xml, but this is a cleaned-up version of what I think we're going for:
Code <if spell="Drain*|Aspir*|Endark|Absorb*" />
<equip when="Precast" set="FastCast"/>
<equip when="Midcast" set="DarkMagic"/>
<if EquipMain="Apocalypse">
<if BuffActive="Aftermath">
<equip when="Aftercast" set="ApocAftermath"/>
</if>
<else>
<equip when="Aftercast" set="TPGear"/>
</else>
</if>
<else>
<equip when="Aftercast" set="GSGear"/>
</else>
</if>
Your code wouldn't work, you have an <elseif> with no conditional statement in the Apoc rules. Probably meant to use <else>.
For those of you that visit Bg you already know the premise of this thread but for those that don't, it's simple.
