Dissector  

would this be good for Pld?

Oo Kruxx omfg

Hey i wasnt banned for using bots but for continiously camping against Gil Farmers! We all know the only way to beat these sh*theads was to use some not so legal warp hack (same they used to have)... i used it and got caught, sh*t happens...gil sellers/farmers still remains... SE can kiss my butt!

FFXI was fun without them, i never used anything illegal before..and after 4 years it was time for a change anyway.

WoW isnt that bad ^^ We got some Gold farmer here too...but i can just kill them :D (and i do a lot ^^)

For the Horde!

I HERD IF YOU OFF-HANDDED DISSECTOR, YOU TURN INTO PRISHE
I READ IT ON THE INTARWEBS, IT MUST BE TRUE.

Dual Weilding this with Retributor, if they're both uncapped, would I recieve the effect from both?? I've heard that each critical weapon only affects itself. So hypothetically speaking, if I were to have both on, the Dissector would mean that it has a 6% higher chance to crit, and the Retributor has a 6% higher chance to crit, and NOT a +12% cumulative chance. Any truth to that as well?? Can anyone say with any certainty if 2 of these types (+6% crit weapons) can both be used to their potentials?? it's a lot of work to uncap 2 of them, so I wanna be sure they do before I begin. Thanks a lot.

Triggering Latent Effect

Obtain 500 Weapon Skill Points while Dissector is equipped in main hand.

Latent effect will afterwards be active even when weapon is equipped in off-hand.

Not all 500 points need be obtained in a single session. They may be obtained piecemeal over any period of time the player chooses.

For a solo Weapon Skill or opening any level Skillchain, you get 1 point.
For closing a Level 1 Skillchain, you get 2 points.
For closing a Level 2 Skillchain, you get 3 points.
For closing a Level 3 Skillchain, you get 5 points.

Man... I keep hearing that with the Crit Latent weapons you only get 1 WS point per SC... Tell me this isnt true..... im about 90/500 anyway but DAMN solo WS sux Yagudo ass....

...I was updating my gear for my 26Thf, and for some reason, Alla listed this as equipable.

Weird really.

Sword certainly does look pretty cool, and really, it does seem weird that Sam cant equip this thing.

well i got this baby a few weeks ago doing double dragonian, sword is absolutely great, once the latent effect is on (took me about 3 days to unlock it which i think is pretty fast for 500 points of WS) the critical hits greatly increased, this and joyeuse on my rdm/nin hands are absolutely insane on the quick damage and sword skills you get. Would like to thank Ryi (75BRD) for giving this sword up to me. Thank you babe, Really appreciate it. One more thing, if you want to hasten the latent effect and can't do light or dark, try getting a 3 man party in which you end the first skillchain that ends with a level 2 and then start the second skillchain that ends with light or dark (lv 3 sc). That way you could be earning 6 points for each skillchain you make. :P hope this helps!

To permanently unlock the latent effect you must obtain 500WS sword points with this weapon in your main hand. Changing Swords before completing the 500 points will not restart the count.

All points are obtained through fighting Easy Prey or harder monsters.

You get 1 point for a solo sword ws.
You get 2 points for closing a lvl 1 skill chain.
You get 3 points for closing a lvl 2 skill chain.
You get 5 points for closing a lvl 3 skill chain.

So for example, if you as a job capable of getting 240 sword skill had access to Savage Blade(Quested Weapon Skill), you could close 100 Light Skill Chains(LV3) and be done. (Hexa Strike[Club] >> Savage Blade[sword] or Tachi:Kasha[GKatana] >> Savage Blade[Sword] come to mind for making Light). Pld are lucky and have access to Swift Blade (automatically obtained at the appropriate sword skill) which can make LV3 chains as well.

100 LV3 Skill Chains are easily achieved, granted the appropriate jobs are there to chain with you, in one sitting of less than 4 hours in a "Skill Up" party.

The only way of knowing if you have unlocked this weapon is if you were counting your points for every chain, or you are able to notice a large difference in your dmg. There is no point counter you can menu to and see that will tell you how many points you have to go.

I'm almost positive you can sell this sword to NPC only. Other than that the sword is Rare/EX and as such you may only have one and it can not be traded or sold to another playable character.

not only does this sword look completely badass, but does it remind anyone of one of Auron's swords from FFX? Another random thought, how cool would it be if there was a NIN with two of these? OK, I'll stop with the n00bish comments seeing as I'm only lvl 22 THF... Ahhh but I can dream can't I?

Ok, so when you get this lovely lovely item the latent becomes the main once you use 500WSs? Is that how it works? Or do you lose the latent all together and have a gimpy sword. Please clarify. ; ;

You can get it from BCNM KS30 "Double Dragonian" in Horlais Peak (Clotho Orb).

You have to deafeat 2 Undead Dragons, BRD & WAR Type (look like shadow dragon)
Dragonian Berzerker (WAR)
Dragonian Minstrel (BRD)

Our pt setup was:
PLD, NIN, RNG, WHM, BLM, RDM (all75)

Tactics:
NIN and PLD go in at same time, NIN engages the Dragonian Minstrel and PLD the Dragonian Berzerker.
The PLD then runs out of the arena and kites the WAR-type around till the rest of the pt killed the BRD Type. The Dragonian Minstrel use a nasty curse that halfs your HP evertime he use it - and he spams this sh*t :) i ended up with 120 HP once, so use cursna/holy water fast and cure asap..otherwise you are moussed^^
It should be no problem to kill him fast if you can handle this curse attack.

The Dragonian Berzerker need to be kited the whole time, do never ever face him directly, if you going to gang bang him, he uses a body slam that probably can instant kill the whole party in range (or at least do heavy damage). So stay away from him and kite & kill him with patience - RNG & BLM & NIN with ranged weapon will have an easy time killing him in about 5-10 minutes while the PLD is voking/flashing and running around =)
RDM should use bind and gravity a lot, it helps a lot kiting him. His resitance is very low, he didnt resist anything while we did this BCNM.

there is no need to sleep them or one of them - because if the Dragonian Berzerker awakes he will use his body slam instantly and this would result in a wipeout.

i guess there are some more tactics to kill them faster, but this is for sure 100% save and a 100% win if everyone does his job.

good luck

You activate this latent,(Like all Rare/EX BCNM weapons) by using 500 Weapon skills with the weapon as your main.

...yes...500 lol took me 2 weeks.

does anybody know what activates the latent effect
