The official Ding 80.... Sekkanoki is the bomb threadFollow

oh and Ding.. 80

Has anyone seen if Conserve TP can proc under Sekkanoki?

Yes it can.




I havent noticed a big difference, can still see just a tad bit more than 2 grids away.

need about 160 to do it, but... yeah, its 50-100% of a single shot's tp(counting sTP) on top of the tp for actually landing the ws. set up correctly a rng/sam should be getting 20 tp/shot, so 20 from a good conserve tp proc, 20 from hitting the mob, 60 left over from sekkanoki


I've actually been having issues adjusting my play style to the new buffs.

always before i could tell how long to 100 tp by a quick glance at my recast box(barrage/med not up... ok 4 shots)

now.. not always starting at 0/20 tp, "occasionally" getting 40 tp for 1 shot, is sekk up? barrage? double shot?

working double shot in has been tough, since it doesn't stack with anything(other ja/ws) you'd want to use it when they're down, but since it makes tp gain unstable, you want to use it with sekk available for the inevitable tp overshoot

oh well, practice practice practice, we'll figure it out soon.

Playstyle is definately taking a bit of getting used to. I had so much tp going last night at Tinnin that i was actually ripping hate from the plds AT TINNIN when i wasnt holding back.

And yes, you could ws with sekka up and end up ws'sing again, which did happen a couple of times last night. Ws'd with seeka at 160tp >> 100tp. Not at all wise sometimes though lol.

Helped a LS friend yesterday do Frostmane for a hunte registry, Sekka >> SW >> SW >> Reverb >> Barrage >> SW and i died with him at 1%, took all of 20 secs.

Kinda makes me sad that I don't play anymore >< RNG/SAM seems like so much fun now

I wonder how for long SE will let the RNGs have their fun..... Or even worst, how long it will take for the SAM bandwagon migrate to the RNG's realm.

Alot of the SAM I know are pulling their RNG back out of retirement. =)

People I hang out with don't suck ^.~

Hasso is not worth it for RNG anyway. I fulltime Seigan, period.

Who's lookin forward to selling his Ebow at a nice high price in exchange for Gandiva?

This guy

Here's the problem:

1) /SAM is out fastest TPing SJ, by far; you can't "fulltime" an ability with a 1 min recast if you are dropping it for WS.
2) If you are dropping Hasso before WS, really, what's the point?

I use Third Eye before every WS (it's part of my WS macro), so using Hasso is simply not worth the effort. I understand the whole min/maxing thing, but I look at it this way: if /NIN had an ability that converted 2 shadows into a STR+5 buff, but it shared a timer with your Utsusemi recasts (and set them both to 60s), how useful would this ability be?

precisely, as i said, i pop seigan and third eye when i KNOW i am going to pull hate. beyond that its hasso up at all times.

For those that have hit the magic number, what seems to be the proc rate % on conserve TP? It's my understanding that it will give anywhere from 10 to 20 'free' TP after a WS (assuming you are set up for 20TP shots). But how often does it actually kick in? Every 4th ws? Every 10th?

Ding 80 RNG last night in an epic Abyssea run. Started halfway into 79 and finished with capped xp on RNG and 9 merits. Also capped marksmanship and Archery.

Didn't really look at much but did notice the conserve TP trait going off. Was /NIN so I didn't get to try Sekkanoki. Was trying to compare HF+1 vs Anarchy DMG 48 gun but between variable buffs and mob strangths I couldn't get a good feel for any clear difference. Will need to check it out in a different setting.

But really liking having 310 marksmanship skill. Never having leveled a job with A+ skill before, I've never had the pleasure of 300 skill in any weapon.

Yes which was why I said I've never leveled a job with "A+" skills before. With merits and marksmanship gear we still couldn't get to 300 like a WAR could with Great Axe. Looking forward to beating up on sky gods at this level.

My mistake. My only A+ skill was Enfeebling magic on RDM and it wasn't that hard to get to 300 but admittedly there is a lot of Enfeebling skill gear out there for RDM (Af2 hat, Af1 tabard, Master casters hands, enfeebling torque = 44 right there). I imagine there isn't nearly as much out there for weapons. So i apologiize for being imprecise.
