I'm having a hard time figuring out how to write an advanced rule into my Ukko's Furry rules to equip Mekira-oto +1 on the bonus active days, and af3+2 on the rest when Aggressor is down. Help me out.

Here are my basic rules without the switch:
Code 
		<if Spell="Ukko's Fury" buffactive="Aggressor">
				<action type="castdelay" delay=".2" />
				<action type="Equip" when="Precast" set="Ukko's Agg" />
		</if>
		
		<elseif Spell="Ukko's Fury" notbuffactive="Aggressor">
				<action type="castdelay" delay=".2" />
				<action type="Equip" when="Precast" set="Ukko's noAgg" />
		</elseif>


And here is what i've been playing around with, obviously no luck :(
Code 
<if Spell="Ukko's Fury" buffactive="Aggressor">
				<action type="castdelay" delay=".2" />
				<action type="Equip" when="Precast" set="Ukko's Agg" />
		</if>
		
		<elseif Spell="Ukko's Fury" notbuffactive="Aggressor">
			<if advanced='"%DayElement"="Light|Wind|Thunder"'>
				<action type="castdelay" delay=".2" />
				<action type="Equip" when="Precast" set="Ukko's noAgg Day" />
			</if>
			<elseif advanced='"%DayElement"="Dark|Fire|Earth|Ice|Water"'>
				<action type="castdelay" delay=".2" />
				<action type="Equip" when="Precast" set="Ukko's noAgg" />
			</elseif>
		</elseif>

I use
Code 
<if advanced='"%DayElement" = "Light" OR "%DayElement" = "Thunder" OR "%DayElement" = "Wind"'>
                        <equip when="precast">
                        <head lock="yes">Mekira-oto +1</head>
                        </equip>
                        </if>

Elemental weapon skill damage increases depending on day. Why would this effect non-elemental ws damage?

Just SE with messed up descriptions.
It's based on ws properties.

I don't see why you are writing a rule for this there has been weapons that have been tested @75 with the same exact description shown to only effect ws like Jinpu Kiloki cyclone and the like...

EDIT

Not that it's hard to believe with how much they do mess up translations, I'd like to see proof of that though since it is verbatim of some thing that already exists, and what you are describing isn't and hasn't been used before. Nore have I experienced anything of the like while using it.

It has already been tested, proven, established, and any other way you want to say it. Just accept it >.>

Stop trying to protect your pride, its been established so stop trying to fight it.

You'll only make people think less of you if you drag this meaningless argument on.

What the hell am I reading while I went afk? 'So someone tested it but I don't believe their testing because it goes against my opinion'? Seriously?


@Nicco sorry was in a hurry, that's in my zerk down macro atm. I havent' finished the new spellcast I was working on yet so my current one is a little messy.

This more or less officially confirms it.

Hi Asymptotic,

Thanks so much for your feedback.
We agree that this wording is somewhat misleading the way it is currently written (as is the Japanese, actually, which also suggests an "elemental weapon skill").

We'll check with the devs to see if they want to change the wording, and (whether or not the JP gets revised) look into ways to reword the English as well. Certainly, what you suggest would be an improvement.

At any rate, we'll get back to you once an official decision is reached.
Thanks again for bringing this matter to our attention!

Shut the *** up.
