Like The Wind

[K. Ishitar]

I know, I saw you and about 5 other smns at pw gathering wearing it -_-;.....

our shell is the only one that's stingy with that and koga chainmail

i have conjurer's though just not a strong -hp minus set to use it although if i really wanted too I could improvise with the minus -hp I have and use my sacrifice torque to drain hp/mp until the mp gained from that gear is equal or passed then swap out to conjurer's.

I sure do have that gear! How about throw a conjurers ring into the mix? Sounds like its not a stretch to have a free Garuda in that BC with the right gear, especially with the prevalence of wind weather in Attowha Chasm.

Perhaps, forgot about that little bugger really.
But even when the NM stays at a relative distance I am not too fond of soloing in Yellow HP.
Even when it means having a free avatar.

If you're using Garuda, would AF hands not be a viable option? You shouldn't be pulling consistent hate after the first 1-2 PCs unless you're constantly unsummoning anyhow.

 

[K. Ishitar]

the proc rate on those according to wiki is low supposedly, it doesn't take many hits to put a summoner in trouble as well unfortunately

Mm, sorry but I'm not quite following. If you're SMN/NIN you'd blink single-target stuff and if it's a -ga you'd run anyways - The only difference is it'd be on your avatar, which would more or less have the same results. The gloves don't proc often but they generally restore more than the 20mp/minute that Nashira would save you. Seems to work either way, just seems like a slight alternative for people who don't have Nashira hands.

my fault then I never got the gloves actually or the body artifact they both seemed so situational and near useless, I didn't know that you could absorb mp on blinkining the damage. I was thinking along the lines of ethreal earring's ability or reprisal.

how much mp did it restore for you?

Point with this fight is that hate will be on you regardless of what you do.
Even if you pull a 2.5k Predator Claws, Race runner will not even blink at your avatar.

Also as far as I know with the AFv1 hands, the nukes have to be targeted at you.
Taken into consideration that we do not have that much HP, /nin does not give us Magic defense bonus and then there's the little thingy with the procrate of damage taken to MP being only 3% or something. (Someone seemed to have tested that years ago.)

I always used it for soloing the Jug KS30 with Titan, pretty sure it converted 50% of the earth damage done to Titan into MP at times. But then I could be wrong about this...it's been a really long time and I can't login to FFXI anymore to back this up. =/


*edit*

Thanks for clarifying. Though that does seem really unusual that it'd do that, since I know for a fact it doesn't have fixed hate. Hm...

 

[K. Ishitar]

i'll take your word for it, you've always given good advice for you jobs

i have to get my smn gloves anyways since eventually it will bar my path for getting my bst af in the future -_-
