What do Jet Seraweels look like? I can't imagine they'd be able to look worse than errant/mahatma legs(ugliest set ever), so maybe they decided to get them for aesthetic reasons.

Well, if thye only wear it because it looks better, they better quit FFXI right now ~.~ it doesn't justify using it.
 
Uzor said:
Yeah, but if you wear Jet Seraweels instead of Mahatma Slops as a mage because it doesn't have the - stats, you need to quit the job, as you shouldn't be meleeing anyway... so the -stats doesn't affect you negatively, lol. And +15 MP is rather useless the second you've cast even Cure II, since you won't be sitting on max MP anymore.

i have mahatma slops, so, idk just saying the only idea i had, haha. :)
 
They look like Yigit. Both Seraweels and Slops have -4 enmity, the only difference is that slops has +1 more MND, CHR and INT and Seraweels have a bit of MP. Looks wise they are a LOT better. I have both, idk why.

I have Crimson Mail and wouldn't think of getting rid of my Errant Body just because I have it. Bajaratt nailed it when they pointed out the stats of -3 emnity and hmp. On a bigger fight having the +10 int and +10 mnd isn't going to do you much good if your pulling hate due to lack of -emnity.

af1+1 and yigit has 5hmp if you need it so badly not like you do. Come on -3 emn you telling me you not pulling hate because of -3 enm. You cant beat this armor. You have hp and mp 2 stats that are always nice to have. What good does dalmatica do? Rdm have "CONVERT" we switch are hp>mp every 10min (8min 20sec if merited) which pretty much make having 1tic refresh "almost" useless. I would still want dalmatica for 1 reason from moving to 1 place to anouther. For example I cast sneak on myself then put dalmatica on to regain back that little mp lost or incases where in dynamis where waiting for mega boss pull and can't rest because might argo something.

its called... dalmatica for everything except enfeebling. :smile: i dont understand why this concept is so hard to get through your head that you can actually macro enfeebling gear for those casts.

dalmatica you lose 50hp if you a hume or mithra that will most likely put you below 1000hp. You gain what 10mp? Can't even cast cure 2 with that.

I agree jet seraweel are overprice for there stats. On side not if you so worryied about -enm jet seraweel can make up what you are missing from errant body.

No, you gain 50 mp, hence the convert 50 hp into mp that's written on the equipment. It doesn't just take away 50 hp and only give 10 mp unless it says that.
 
If you have Dalmatica equipped all the time, you gain 200 MP per 10 min with it. That's 200 more MP to spend on spells or whatever you want to. It is AMAZING when playing solo. Stacked with AF2 hat, that's 400 MP every 10 min, and with Sanction or SMN sub, that's 600 MP every 10 min.

Yes, RDM casts spells a lot. But you don't constantly cast spells unless you're in a merit party, so Dalmatica is an awesoem swap-in piece for in-between spells.

And if you're in a merit party, you will likely mainly be curing, refreshing and hasting; so you won't need that 10 mnd/int at all and will be wearing the dalmatica full time.

What the hell kind of a lolrdm subs smn for solo? Or for merits for that matter?

I'm sorry, but if you're doing anything of interest, you don't have an option besides sub nin, and if you're calling beating up colibri outside al zhabi "solo", then if your mp is going down at all, you're doing something horribly wrong.

Any rdm who drools over autorefresh is gimp. I'm sorry.

No, my point was that "with sanction or SMN sub". SMN sub is a viable SJ for some events. I wasn't saying you should use it while palying solo -.- reread what I wrote, I think you seriously missunderstood it. Either that or you read it how you wanted to read it.

Please enlighten me on how I should've taken it. I took it as "zomg autorefresh is soooo cool. Look at all the MP I get!" Was that not your point? What's the point of touting something that's useless in the contexts you specifically bring up (solo? meriting?)?

Yes, as n00b rdms, we all go through that phase: "omg, imagine all the mp i could have if i have double ballad with relic horn, refresh, and all this autorefresh stuff!"

If MP is the bottleneck in your merits, or solo, you've got problems.

My point was that while 1/tick auto-refresh might not seem like a lot, it adds up to a lot over time. As for me, I have Duelist's Chapeau, so the only thing I'm missing is a Dalmatica to have capped auto-refresh. I was just proving a point that auto-refresh IS damn usefull if used i nthe right way.

Its like any other bonus. +1STR doesn't do much of a difference, but if you add it with other +STR, it becomes a lot.


Edit: and its far from useless for soloing and meriting. Wehn you solo harder stuff like Zipacna, it *ALL* comes down to your MP and how much auto-refresh you have. Without auto-refresh, you WILL NOT be able to beat them. Auto-refresh is damn important when soloing. I didn't mean soloing for exp, I ment soloing NM's and HNM's. Well, autorefresh/mp, and merits.

Oh sure, I have the chapeau too. And I'm not saying autorefresh hurts or anything. But when you consider the other body parts available for rdm, dalmatica just doesn't have a very high utility value. There's no reason to have it on when you are casting, and "in between casting" for a rdm is pretty scarce (at least it is for me. dunno about you). You're not going to get the 20mp/min that people claim, unless they are gimping their spells by keeping dalmatica on for whatever reason. Gear to have on while moving? OK, I guess you have a genuine use there.

Huh? Need autorefresh for zipacna? A friend of mine solos zipacna like twice a week. He doesn't have any autorefresh gear. Again, if yo have to rely on autorefresh, you have problems.
 
Yeah, cause int/mnd helps out tons for hasting/curing/refreshing people amirite?

I keep seeing this, and cant help but see the flaw in it.

No. To do your job, you dont need auto refresh gear. To do your job, you dont need to cast refresh on yourself either. Just cast your spells, and sit down to rest it up, and cast again.

But what does refresh(spell) give you? MORE time between sitting down that you can spend casting, to the point that you on average, dont need to sit down to heal, you just convert and off you go again.

Dalmatica has the same effect. It gives you that little bit more of a refresh, so you have just that much more MP available to you, so you can cast that extra spell

While no, you don't *NEED* it, it makes it easier. And faster.

Any extra MP you get durign that time is more MP you can spend.

I don't think anyone have said they RELY on Auto Refresh. I've said it HELPS, and while yes, I may have worded it a bit wrong, Auto Refresh is extremely helpfull.

MND makes you cure for slightly more and helps prevent "resists" during dark weather. :P But I don't think anyone's saying using a dalm is bad. Just saying it isn't god's gift to [insert job] like some other end-game gear.
