Am I crazy, or does anyone else get metalsinger performing better?
Eh theres some value in capping attack that way for sure though. Swap buffs around. Ditch Chaos or Fury maybe or swap in an acc song for high acc content and still cap attack or put up fighters roll or tact instead.. id say allies but this is savage blade we talking about. You can squeeze more out of it that way, no?

Metalsinger performs better at capped attack, but it doesnt seem to win on spreadsheet if uncapped.

I tested Orpheus's. It adds 15 affinity when you are 0-1 (cna't remember now if 0-1 or 0-1.9) from target and it decreases by one for every 1 range (so drops to 1 at 15 or 16 range). I added a rule in my lua that I use sash for range 10 and less. Also it takes range value between you and the center of the mob, so if mob is really big, it doesn't matter, you would need to "go inside" it to take full benefit of Sash.
Can you share how you added your rule please.

So This works kind of for me, but I suck at gearswap, suck at writing script in general....
Code
function job_post_precast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
if (spell.type == 'CorsairRoll' or spell.english == "Double-Up") then
elseif spell.action_type == 'Ranged Attack' then
if flurry == 2 then
equip(sets.precast.RA.Flurry2)
elseif flurry == 1 then
equip(sets.precast.RA.Flurry1)
end
-- Equip obi if weather/day matches for WS.
elseif spell.type == 'WeaponSkill' then
if spell.english == 'Leaden Salute' then
if player.tp > 3000 then
equip(sets.precast.WS['Leaden Salute'].FullTP)
end
if world.weather_element == 'Dark' or world.day_element == 'Dark' then
equip(sets.Obi)
end
end
-- Equip obi if weather/day matches for WS.
if spell.english == 'Wild Fire' then
if player.tp > 3000 then
equip(sets.precast.WS['Wild Fire'].FullTP)
end
if world.weather_element == 'Fire' or world.day_element == 'Fire' then
equip(sets.Obi)
end
end
if spell.english == 'Last Stand' then
if player.tp > 2500 then
equip(sets.precast.WS['Last Stand'].FullTP)
end
end
if spell.english == 'Savage Blade' then
if player.tp > 2000 then
equip(sets.precast.WS['Savage Blade'].FullTP)
end
end
if spell.english == 'Evisceration' then
if player.tp > 2000 then
equip(sets.precast.WS['Evisceration'].FullTP)
end
end
end
end
function job_post_precast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
if spell.type == 'WeaponSkill' then
if spell.english == 'Leaden Salute' or "Wild Fire" or "Aeolian Edge" then
if spell.target.distance < 10 then
equip(sets.Sash)
end
end
end
endThe problem is now it wont equip my Obi under weather/day, but if I put your lines in the top it will, but wont equip the Sash. Appreciate the help in advance, and thank you for your reply.
You can't have two separate post_precast functions. The second will overwrite the first.
Combine them.
Combine them.
Ended up with this
Thank you everyone for your help.

Yeah sorry I usually only post part of the code that's important so in this example name of the main function and all the ifs. Copying whole job_post_precast function would maybe be better if I think about it, but I didn't want to post a lot of irrelevant code. I'm glad that Arislan was around and helped you :)

Im almost sure it always produce 1% affinity bonus at 14+. Even at 20.

Yeah, without cape DMG went from 51,638 to 51,259
Looks like you need a more robust rule.
I have distance 10, because around that it starting to lose with Eschan belt. Obi is whole different story, but like I suggested in the past, it's still not as simple as just comparing damage with obi vs non proc damage with sash, because unless you are doing 99999 dmg, you still can have weather/day proc randomly with Sash and that randomness is pretty high (according to bgwiki around 1/3 chance), so avg damage with voidstorm and sash will be (damage*affinity)*0.33*1.1

Would explain why my DMG was all over the place first group of testing I did, wasn't removing my Voidstorm.

yeha yeah I was writing it quickly before afk. Good catch tho.
Can anyone show a non rostam dual wield Racc set for wave 2 boss their using? I was thinking dual wielding Lanun for the racc but I was curious about the rest. I hear you need 1600 racc for him and without food I can only get 1343 racc. With sushi I can get another 100 and with hunters probably 40-50 more. I wasn’t in the bard party last run so don’t think I can get preludes.

I generally have buffs for wave 2, so I dont need that much racc. But if you really do heres my max racc set:
ItemSet 242238
Back: AGI/racc.
Replace arma with fomal if you use that instead, you can also replace hajduk ring with soa one if you have it. Ignore the rostam if you dont have them.
Are you accounting for geo buffs? Even if you are not in the bard party there should be a geo in your party to give accuracy up or evasion down. (I don't know geo, I just shoot stuff)
I am assuming that if you are shooting that there is proper support and you are not the one off. I sit at 1321 racc with Rostam and without food and I was hitting fine when no bard buffs.

Some groups (like mine) do wave 3 with MB strat and they can forget that if they want cor dmg they need to do acc/Eva- stuffs, talk to your group because having a decent cor adding to damage on wave 3 is for sure worth the extra spells.
Are most Cors spamming last stand on the wave 2 boss? My leadens weren’t hit big numbers at all.

My group which is clearing rng/cor style does last stand. Leaden can do a bit more but we don't trust people to pay attention to the boss specials so we do last stand.
Probably a stupid and pointless question but was just curious, Does the marksmanship skill on ilvl guns increase leaden magic accuracy?
I always assumed ilvl guns were more accurate because of magic acc skill on ilvl weapons, just recently noticed they don't even have those stats like melee weapons, so was curious what makes an ilvl gun more accurate when it comes to leaden than non ilvl?
Is it the marksmanship skill? or are they equally the same in terms of leaden accuracy (excluding magic acc on the weapon themselves)

I'd assume the marksmanship skill counts for something. But much like is the case with Thibron for the jobs that can use it, you can actually Leaden Salute using Anarchy+2~Ataktos TP Bonus gun on fairly high level targets... I just wouldn't be too surprised when that damage starts to drop off on very high level content. (Maybe worth doing for lols if you don't have R15 DP and you have a RDM floating around)
