February 2019 Version Update

Do you have the +2 neck rank 25?

It should be a DRG month, actually:

- Hasso + Wyvern + Gear = 45% Haste. Can reach haste cap with just Haste II and Haste Samba. No MG required.
- Angon,
- Jumps give TP on demand to deal with bombs,
- High Acc for VD,
- Can shed hate to avoid terrors/hp-drain/Kibosh,
- Can multistep easily, and Darkness/Umbra > Light/Radiance,

DNC + DRG was a really potent combo the first time around. Should be so again.

Edit: And DRK can reach cap with just Haste II + Last Resort, right?

+2 neck, but only rank 20

Thanks! No murgie


Does anyone know if accuracy was taken off for magic acc in composure ? I’m hoping it boosts both xD

As long as they've got Desperate Blows merited.

Slept and killed 1 by 1 and ws'd bombs that dropped but if they have triple HP this time, that won't work for bombs quite so easily

Land that sabo distract 3!!!! :)

Composure still adds melee Acc.

So nothing has changed on that front Sab did that before. Maybe check on NMs though.

Not everything they listed was new or changed they just listed eveything it does after changes even if that part wasn't changed.

I will check nm tomorrow assuming nobody else has done it by the time I wake up.

I think it was just m.acc buff and recast timer and now you can cast multiple spells under sabo. (1 minute duration)
Technically a 2 minute down time on sabo since is last a full minute

Someone post on the JP forums that they want the regal gem to be an earring...since they might actually look at it.

I'm going to put a weapon lock in my lua for now for ranged and ammo so I can use the bow and have saboteur take it off.

All of the fast DW jobs do pretty well. NIN DNC BLU THF all cap without great difficulty. RNG also prob pretty good, since all you care about is Flurry if you can get it (or even if not, can hit Snapshot cap even without Flurry at the expense of some Rapid Shot gear). Hell, non-rolling COR with shooting for TP and either ranged WS or Savage is probably OK, if not ideal, but if that's what someone has, it's fine... Hell, COR could even load up on DW gear and nearly cap with Haste II and /DNC samba (+10 back, Adhemar body, Carmine legs, DW ears, Reiki waist, lolFloral gauntlets, etc)

For 2-handers, DRG DRK certainly viable. If SAM gets a Haste Samba they're fine on delay. Lots of melee options this month, very flexible.

There is difference between 80% haste with gear/ability/magic haste and getting to 80% delay reduction with dual wield. Dual wield cuts your tp per hit.

Still NBD for something like a NIN or DNC. Maybe you have a single BLU in party giving MG, and Haste II? NIN's at 79.69% reduction with zero DW gear. DNC is at 78.13%.

Got DNC doing JA haste from main job Samba, and Haste II on your melees? You only need to use DW+13 for DNC or a 550JP+ THF, or DW+8 for NIN.

Always nice that RDM can Haste outside too, shouldn't have trouble lasting long enough when with decent duration gear you're dropping 8-9min Hastes on people. Or, bring the RDM in and play with that shiny new enspell damage, and toss Haste II on everyone else!

Point is, regardless of some stupid "MUST DO THE ONE OPTIMAL STRATEGY" obsession that some people have with Ambu, this is an extremely flexible month for DD jobs. Which is always nice to see. Don't get me wrong, BLU is nice this month - but it's far from BLU ONRY DD MONTH.

How significant is the macc boost for Sabo?

Evisceration with this dagger can probably beat Aeneas Rudra for THF. It should be almost as good as PK for DNCs (on avg, because PK spikes higher). I think it might be the best dagger for high accuracy checks (with Twashtar offhand spamming Evisceration).

Now if Decimation +120% is not an error...
I only checked WAR with Resolution set from WAR guide and I'm getting almost 42k damage at 1000TP when dual wielding Kaja with Barbarity +1. I have no idea how viable that is, because I have no idea what's the state of TP sets for dual wielding on WAR :O EDIT: War have access to Ebani and Reiki, so should perfectly cap delay with /nin :O

At 2000TP+ Impulse Drive should on avg beat Trishula's Stardiver. I haven't checked for 1000TP build with multihit instead of WSD.

I was expecting more MAB on those new upgrades but it seems SE tried to increase the WS that are competitive.

ok god damn i knew rdm buff is going to be good

rdm + temper2 +enspell +Kaja knuckles aw yeah!
seriously tho, im glad some weapons are worth making

edit: some people think im super serious ok lol

eeeee?

First of all, you have no martial arts, so your delay will be gigantic, so enspell is kinda pointless. Second of all Asuran Fists is 8 hits, so multiattack from temper gives you nothing.

you should look at the ftp for Calamity and Mistral axe then.

up to 10.375 and 13.625 respectively.

What makes Decimation even better tho is that ftp transfer to all hits paired with that buff, makes multi attack extremely effective and all that damage is also possible at 1000TP, not only at 3000. Don't forget dual wielding also adds one hit too.

Dual wielded Decimation with 2x DA proc is 11.7 fTP, so comparable to 25.74 with this buff.

Im getting (on paper) 42k avg Decimation with WAR copy-paste resolution set.

312 enspell damage with my current set
345 with pukulatmuj+1 (so 3x applies to equipment with sword enhancement spell damage)
435 with orpheus sash and matching day and puk+1 (for lolz)

Can anyonr with the SU5 sword confirm it works with it and that i'll be saving all my money for awhile?

Kaja scythe seems neat. I wanna try melee blm now

Didn't read the whole topic, but does the note on fixing wave 3 Odin using his move more than once mean they fixed it so you can pup tank the wave 3 boss now? (previously used double zantet to wipe rr and then wipe party of puppet had hate)

That's not the issue with PUP tanks, it's that they can't hold hate for ***. If super RUN's can't hold hate off a group of double buffed melee's how in the hell is an gimped yet invincible PLD going to do it?

Hey SE, you forgot to give the smn useful stats on the staff again.
