Depending on the ability of the group you’re running, min/maxing yourself with iLvl70 melded gear can either be a boon or a waste of money, since the Relic/Allagan gear is comfortably ahead of those options. In addition, keep in mind that while the Relic options can be worked towards slowly but surely via Mythology tomes that the Allagan pieces are drops from certain Turns that may or may not show up at all. Just be honest with yourself in how soon you can see yourself doing that content before you decide.
As an aside, though the gap between iLvl 70 and Relic/Allagan is clear, the differences between the two are much smaller. The best item often comes down to which secondary abilities are more relevant to your character.
For example: when comparing the Valor Coronet (PLD Relic head) with the Allagan Helm, you’ll notice that the latter gives a 21 stat bonus to Parry in exchange for less accuracy and the Critical Hit Rate on the former. Since the Parry stat is more relevant than the additional accuracy or critical hit rate, you’d take the Allagan piece. However, the Valor Surcoat (PLD Relic Body) is the clear winner when compared to the Heavy Allagan Armor, boasting a 34 Parry stat with 17 Determination while sacrificing the 34 Accuracy and 24 Parry combo contained on the latter.
I’m up to level 35. I only play like 2 hours a day but I have a ton of rested exp so I’m easily getting about a level per day. I haven’t allocated a single attribute point. As a WHM, should I just put everything into Mind?
So maybe its one of those wanting something so bad type things. 0-20, 21st run just couldn’t complete.
So my new goal today is to let that wep breathe a lil bit. I have seen every ifrit weapon drop twice now working on the 3rd rotation.
Well hey nobody can say I dont help out others on SRK cause Toddler316 got his shit first run SMDH. I was shocked like wtf another axe? this the third axe Ive seen drop.
So grats again Tod316. When i get on later Im only gonna do a few runs i sorta need a change of pace.
So cold out here with no ifrit harpoon to keep me warm…winter is coming.
Finally dinged lvl 50 on Mining last night and mined my first solid gold ore :tup: . Time to work on getting dem HQ Mining gears. I really dig the crafting system in this game; its the first profession I got up to 50 before any DoW/DoW class, the closest being lvl 40 WAR/PLD. All that FATEing can wait, I’mma stack up on dat paper first.
You can’t buy relic weapon…but you can buy the required item and buy the materia/pay for the melding. For Mr. Moneybags it’s not a big deal but for some of us plebs it’ll cost us a lot of money.
I think I’m going to write some whm macros this weekend when wife and kids are asleep…
I feel I need a macro for:
presence of mind + divine seal
Divine seal + regen
Presence of mind + Raise
Esuna + regen
/marking ignore1 or is it /mk ignore1
/AC sleep <ignore1>
And
Presence of mind + holy (fates)
Any inputs on what other macros one should use as whm?
I feel click and press button works well, but as I progress end game, I think my macro game needs to start/evolve.
I personally dislike macros, but if I use Divine Seal with anything, it’s with Medica or when I know I need to pump out Cures back to back to keep the tank/party up. Using it for Regen seems lackluster. Using Presence of mind for Raise doesn’t seem that great either. It’s still going to keep you in place for 7 seconds. Now if that macro was Swiftcast + Raise…that’d be good.
I don’t feel like you really need macros in this game at all so far though. You just need to have things mapped well enough that you know what button to hit when you need it.
You can’t buy the stuff to make a relic weapon and it doesn’t have materia… are you thinking of the i70 HQ crafted armor? You need to get the oil for 900 tomes to make the relic weapon, you can’t buy that on the auction house and it’s untradable.
I don’t use macros either, but regarding presence of mind and raise, that extra 2-3seconds could save you and your dungeon run.
Also I use divine seal with regen with AoE hits, it helps me with my mana consumption, just throw regen on everyone and they’ll be back to full health before or even after the next AoE.
I’m just saying if I can save hitting a second/third key, it should change my play style. It was just a thought, I know macros are more geared toward tanks and dps, but I really don’t think it would hurt to try and figure out a new way of healing. If I like it great, if not, then back to the old f1-f8 and heal or even click and heal.
Oh, that’s an early cheap part of the quest… it’s not really the relic itself, that just costs like 50k or so to get the template for the weapon basically.
I’ll never ever understand why Square keeps forcing Lightning down our throats. Who the fuck asked for this? Who actually said to themselves, "Man, I’ll totally buy this game had Lightning been in my MMO, desu~~!!"
Answer: No-fuckin-body!
Oh, you’d be surprised.
Of course I’d be surprised to hear someone would want this shit in their game! Cause everyone knows 13 is crap, and it’ll always be crap!
