Claustrum QuestionFollow

#1 Oct 30 2012 at 5:15 PM Rating: Default
So I am making another relic.

I am concidering Claustrum, the SMN/BLM staff. In all hopes one day sch can use it. But Like rag and resolution added later. The staff gets the powerful weapon skill shattersoul. The staff also gets a 3.0 double dng rate. Would that make shattersoul even stronger than resolution? For smn it does get +14 refresh after the weapon skill. hence a free avatar I think.

I did seek out Jennna who is a owner of one on my server, but she never unlocked that weapon skill so couldn't give me any answers needed. So I ask here.

If you can't say something constructive, or nice. You shouldn't say much at all. A person shows their insecurity when they have a bg mouth and have to bash others down to feel good.

Good luck, I hope karma doesn't do to you as you speak and act.

The double damage only applies to melee swings, not the ws's. And the it's only 8 mp/tick for 20 seconds, so only 48 mp back.

If you HAVE to get a melee staff, the empyrian's probably better. Much cheaper, much stronger, and you can use it's ws to get back 20% of your mp at a time if you need to.

A big problem that we have as far as taking you seriously kimjongil76 is that you have an Apocalypse and Ragnarok, but you're unaware of the fact that the hidden effect of the 2x+ damage associated with relic weapons doesn't affect weaponskills. It has been known for years now that the hidden effect on Relics only affect attacks during the TP phase, and weaponskills are completely unaffected by it. One shouldn't make a weapon if they don't understand the effects of it.

Not to mention, looking at your gear, there are a number of issues with what you're using. You should not be using Hecate's Earring on Dark Knight, since Magic Attack Bonus doesn't affect your Dark magic, and you shouldn't be spending the time trying to cast elemental nukes. Likewise, Uther's Grip is not a good grip to be using on any job other than Ranger, since a Pole Grip is going to do far more for you in terms of weaponskill frequency and damage (and Duplus Grip is even better than that). What gear set is this supposed to represent, because it's lacking a lot as far as weaponskill as well as lacking a lot as far as TP.

I hope you take no offense to this, but I think you should prioritize working on bettering the job you already have two relics for before considering to make a third. I'm not talking about nitpicky, inconsequential changes that are side-grades at best. I can see a number of gear changes you could make that'd significantly improve your TP and WS capabilities.

I'm pretty sure you'll be able to troll the community into a coma if you complete a claustrum, bonus points if you post screenshots and/or a guide to melee SMN DD with it.

Hit some open mouthed hpemde and claim you have proven that the double damage procs on weaponskills. Godspeed.

Actually I know some weapons are 2.0 and some 2.5. Hence apoc 2.0 rag 2.5. The reason I am considering the blm staff was for the high base dmg.

Not to mention, looking at your gear, there are a number of issues with what you're using.

What gear set is this supposed to represent, because it's lacking a lot as far as weaponskill as well as lacking a lot as far as TP.

As for the gear, I have much better melee and weapon skill sets. My purpose when loading the itemin was to get the rag into the database. Thus it would also increase my score. I am sorry you and others looked at the gear much when you can only have one set shown at a time. If they had a database I woul of shown all I have, for various reasons. WS TP and such.

I hope you take no offense to this, but I think you should prioritize working on bettering the job you already have two relics for before considering to make a third.

Drk is ok, but there are 100 drks for every 2-5 sch's and 5-10 blus. When asked to do a VW Neo Nysle, 95% of the time they want my blu or sch. My scholar itself is pretty much maxed all gear in game excluding meebles pants/ body and ARCH ultima hands. My blu has a gear set for EVERY stat. Again you can't show it all.

I make relics out of boredom. crafting, crour "what is not outdated" and swapping high end items from one server to another. Even our 50,000,000 Balistisca guy most likely will fork over 45m to me in a few days as his wanted list is a -1 item that's 30m on my server, and I will bring it to his server for 45m. Do a few trades like this every month and you make great gil. You also get exposure to currency that's low on one server vs high on another.

If they had a blu or sch relic I would make. Already made emps.

You forget I do much of my playing by myself, not that I am not in big and friendly LS's server wide. But living in japan time zone, more often then not I work when most USA do their events, but help out my friends with things when I am free and we both online.


Someone else suggested I should make guides. I am the one who made a guide to sch skill chain, Sch banish, and to some extent even kaustra build and staves. In the process of past 3-6 months. Only to be harped by you and others who say its not practical or its useless information.

Even you laughed when I made crour relics in a few weeks. But what you fail to realize is after what you said, I brought mules in and I 10x instead of 3x the amount I got. And now all that gil is enough to probably make every relic in the game or by and transfer mst high end items people will pay big money for on other servers.

But to each its own. Drk was my first love so it gets the relic weapons.

And yea, when I ask questions, I am always polite. But I can't say others are upon responding. That's ok though. You told me I am egotistical, what maybe I am on the forum because that's when I may say what I have as others try knocking me down. You never see a congratulations. Even on drk ding thread. You just see "put downs"

Te site itself has less members at least for ffxi active then other websites like ffxiah.com or bgwiki. Perhaps because this website bashes people so they just go away when they get treated badly or when they ask sensible questions are mostly knocked down for even asking.

For starters, you can show that gear. FFXIAH records all gear equipped by you, so you can easily show what all gear you have available to you on any one character.

To sort of just put into perspective why I have spoken towards a number of your posts, I'll just break them down for you.

1) Your posts in regards to your damage. For starters you have often started those posts out in a very condescending manner, saying how great your damage is in comparison to what others are capable of. For example, in one of your recent topics regarding Kaustra, you commented about how Meteor Black Mages will bow to your feet over how incredible your damage is compared to them. It's not that you simply just posted your information in a factual way, you boasted about how high your damage was, and naturally that's going to create a hostile situation. BG and AH are no different in that regard, so it's not exactly something special to this site.

You also commented about taking Blue Mage to Legion and pulling off tremendous numbers. As someone that routinely does Legion, the numbers you gave, given the inherent limitations that Blue Magic has in there, I found them to be incredibly inflated and nowhere near possible.

There are other examples in regards to numbers you gave, but that just gives you a general idea of what my points on that matter entailed. You would tell about situations, give numbers that were far beyond what should be capable given the circumstances, then when I'd ask for what gear you used or proof of these, you very begrudgingly posted two screenshots showing things that many others could also do, and never showed what gear you used in other situations.

2) Making guides for skillchains. I commented on you not needing to make a skillchain guide for Scholar because there really isn't anything specific one needs to know. If they have an existing skillchain chart, then they already have the information for Scholars skillchaining with the appropriate grimoire. I pointed out this in that topic. As long as you know what element your spells are, then it becomes very easy to skillchain as a Scholar using Immanence.

As for Blue Mage skillchaining, I only recall negatively commenting on you using Corbenic Sword for Knights of Round. In that regard, I said that the Corbenic Sword was an inferior sword to other weapons, and that the skillchain you were creating from it wouldn't make up for the overall loss of damage from using a "low" damage mainhand weapon. Likewise, while Heavy Strike is decent, at the same time it's not that powerful of a spell overall. The damage can be good, but it suffers from a significant accuracy penalty that requires you to either go /Thf for Sneak Attack, or stack extra accuracy in your gear set in order to land it reliably on anything higher than an Even Match mob.

3) I didn't laugh at your cruor party comments. My two comments were that the information you gave wasn't new, as you claimed it to be. You were making comments along the lines of it being something that few had done before and you were giving us a guide as to how to do one, when in reality, by the time you had posted it, the ins and outs of cruor parties, how to chain kills properly, and good places to do them, were pretty much already well known and had been talked about (even on here several times). My second comment was in response to an erroneous statement you made bragging about how much gil you were making from cruor burns. You had said you had finished your Ragnarok, and then were already nearly completed with two more relics (that you had turned in most of the stuff already). A lot of people, myself included, caught on the impossibility of that, since you can't work on more than one at a time and that not anywhere near enough time had elapsed from when you completed your Ragnarok to claiming you were nearly done with two more.

4) My criticism towards you meleeing on Scholar. I will readily admit that Shattersoul is a decent weaponskill, and as something to mess around with soloing or for very simple things, I've got absolutely no problem with a mage equipping a staff, running up, and beating on the monster. However, in situations that you mentioned in the past as to when you used Shattersoul (the mobs you mentioned, etc), I have issue with, because in those situations, a Scholar (especially if they're the lone mage) should be casting enough on their party and the mob that they can't get enough TP to weaponskill (because a solid mage should have multiple staves/clubs, etc to equip for spells). Likewise, on any mob of real value, the mage should be safely standing far back from the mob to avoid AoE attacks, and certainly shouldn't be meleeing in there.

Lastly, and most importantly, I had an issue with the Atmas you mentioned you used. You mentioned that, for the sake of the Regain, you used Atma of the Sea Daughter. I criticized this choice because that is a significant amount of Slow you are inflicting upon yourself for the sake of accumulating TP on a weapon that should be swapping off of on a regular basis. It's just very impractical to intentionally "gimp" yourself by equipping that Atma. Melee won't use it for the Regain because of the Slow, and neither should a Mage for the same reason.

Efficiency is the name of the game on how to best play a job, and given the sacrifices that a mage would have to make in order to melee any decently strong opponent, in my opinion, and the opinion of the general player base, meleeing should be left to melee jobs. Scholars should be backline healing/support/enfeebling/nuking, alongside White Mages and Black Mages.

BlueGartr and FFXIAH are far more condescending to players than this site is. BlueGartr will even go as far as banning people for being "stupid", and FFXIAH's picture section shows just how that particular user base responds to the gear of players and screenshots of "good damage". I'd argue that out this site, BG, and AH, we're the most accepting of those "off the wall" sorts of topics since we're more lax all in all.

You just need to remember that it's a generally accepted standpoint for the entire player base, supported by countless tests and just running gear and scenarios through spreadsheets painstakingly put together that it's just overall very inefficient for a Scholar to melee in place of some of the other abilities it has. It's very likely the whole reason Immanence was given was pretty much to allow a Scholar to stand back and open a skillchain for melee in the front lines so they can close it. Do they have some tools available to them to melee? Sure, but them meleeing instead of curing or nuking is like expecting a Dark Knight to stand back and just nuke constantly. They've got MP and some nukes (thus have some tools available to them), but they don't because it's just inefficient in comparison to what they're better suited for, which is the same with Scholar. There are other things they are better suited to do besides melee, so myself and the general player base will see it as inefficient.

I don't mean to insult you as an individual, since that is not my intention, but you've been suggesting playstyles that are far from the norm for Scholar and your other jobs, so you must understand that you're opening yourself up to criticism, which might or might not be constructive. You need to understand that criticism is natural for the game, and that you're putting yourself out in the open by posting ideas you have or things you try. If it hasn't already been tested, other people will test it if it seems valid. Regardless though, if they find fault in what is being said, then they will point it out. I am of no exception, as Raelix can point out as far as correcting me on a Great Sword discussion awhile back. That is just how this site, BG, AH, etc often are.

Your right, but hey that was the deal between me and the BLM. Some people bet gil or gear In this case it was with a blm long time friend and myself. Was more humorous than anything
You also commented about taking Blue Mage to Legion and pulling off tremendous numbers. As someone that routinely does Legion, the numbers you gave, given the inherent limitations that Blue Magic has in there, I found them to be incredibly inflated and nowhere near possible.

Yes, and I still do this same Skill chain combo often. But no I don't feel like typing it out for everyone. If they want to to try it out for themselves after it being thrown out their then fine. But just like this topic, when I can ask a simple question and be derated, why would I bother going out of my way to list gear for someone. No thanks.

There are other examples in regards to numbers you gave, but that just gives you a general idea of what my points on that matter entailed. You would tell about situations, give numbers that were far beyond what should be capable given the circumstances, then when I'd ask for what gear you used or proof of these, you very begrudgingly posted two screenshots showing things that many others could also do, and never showed what gear you used in other situations.

As long as you know what element your spells are, then it becomes very easy to skillchain as a Scholar using Immanence.

You actually were helpful on a skill chain guide here somewhat. As I play across many servers, many people see my playstyle on sch and see that it is fun. They even level it and play my style. JP and English. Sure they still cure and nuke as well. But they like knowing they can Dmg deal as well and not just be an embrava *****.

As for Blue Mage skillchaining, I only recall negatively commenting on you using Corbenic Sword for Knights of Round. In that regard, I said that the Corbenic Sword was an inferior sword to other weapons, and that the skillchain you were creating from it wouldn't make up for the overall loss of damage from using a "low" damage mainhand weapon.

The damage can be good, but it suffers from a significant accuracy penalty that requires you to either go /Thf for Sneak Attack, or stack extra accuracy in your gear set in order to land it reliably on anything higher than an Even Match mob.

Yea and I agree that sword was not best to melee in but was great to starta SC in then swap out for events like KC or HNM fights. Not full time melee.

3) I didn't laugh at your cruor party comments. My two comments were that the information you gave wasn't new, as you claimed it to be. You were making comments along the lines of it being something that few had done before and you were giving us a guide as to how to do one, when in reality, by the time you had posted it, the ins and outs of cruor parties, how to chain kills properly, and good places to do them, were pretty much already well known and had been talked about (even on here several times).

A lot of people, myself included, caught on the impossibility of that, since you can't work on more than one at a time and that not anywhere near enough time had elapsed from when you completed your Ragnarok to claiming you were nearly done with two more.

I never said crour parties were new. But a great many people do come back to the game or just have never done it. Even if posted six or twelve months earlier. These people would never go through 10x pages to find a topic on it. So sharing it every so often is not bad. Before the crour nerf I could shout off crour parties any server nd people would love to join. and they ask me when not shouting to make one because they were fun.

4) My criticism towards you meleeing on Scholar. I will readily admit that Shattersoul is a decent weaponskill, and as something to mess around with soloing or for very simple things, I've got absolutely no problem with a mage equipping a staff, running up, and beating on the monster. However, in situations that you mentioned in the past as to when you used Shattersoul (the mobs you mentioned, etc), I have issue with, because in those situations, a Scholar (especially if they're the lone mage) should be casting enough on their party and the mob that they can't get enough TP to weaponskill (because a solid mage should have multiple staves/clubs, etc to equip for spells). Likewise, on any mob of real value, the mage should be safely standing far back from the mob to avoid AoE attacks, and certainly shouldn't be meleeing in there.

I agree with you on that in most cases a sch shouldn't melee. But if you have regen 5 and a few otherbuffs on people for most content you are ok.

Lastly, and most importantly, I had an issue with the Atmas you mentioned you used. You mentioned that, for the sake of the Regain, you used Atma of the Sea Daughter. I criticized this choice because that is a significant amount of Slow you are inflicting upon yourself for the sake of accumulating TP on a weapon that should be swapping off of on a regular basis. It's just very impractical to intentionally "gimp" yourself by equipping that Atma. Melee won't use it for the Regain because of the Slow, and neither should a Mage for the same reason.

True it has slow but I don't TP much with the staff, only weapon skill in abby. If I am not self Skill chaining, I am Kaustring for 2.5 - 30 or 60 minutes straight assuming party ISl's drop.

I take in account the website has many veterans who do post often, but many people just read or rarely post. So I try posting for noobs, silent players, returning players and vetrens.

In your post many times you always say "I" think your wrong what is cool. But you do realize the server is 5000+ people. So even if one gives an idea like "what would you like added to your job" like the post you write about on all forums. Then people reply and you knock it, even when you say you were not going to knock any idea. Hence few people posted on any of those threads. As a admin you have to think for the community and their various play styles and what they may know, not know, and the many ways they may play the job. Just not yours. That is how you earn respect and leadership.

Granted at times when you led a LS, you have to tell people to play and act a certain way to get a job done.

Efficiency is the name of the game on how to best play a job, and given the sacrifices that a mage would have to make in order to melee any decently strong opponent, in my opinion, and the opinion of the general player base, meleeing should be left to melee jobs. Scholars should be backline healing/support/enfeebling/nuking, alongside White Mages and Black Mages.

There are other things they are better suited to do besides melee, so myself and the general player base will see it as inefficient.

I agree a sch should not melee but Ws or SC is ok. I bet as an example when you proc a VW !! all melee jump in and beat it down 30 seconds. Afterwards it has 300 TP and does some nasty AOE move. In these cases its easy to steal 60-150+ TP /drk and either use when "staff" is called or as the Japanese would say, kill it after X is done.

Another classic example. the drk could be beating the NM down, or standing back to wait for GS or scythe to !! it. Yet when a darkness blm is called,I rarely see a drk scroll through absorb spells to !! it, hence I have to pick up the slack of theirs.


I don't mean to insult you as an individual, since that is not my intention, but you've been suggesting playstyles that are far from the norm for Scholar and your other jobs, so you must understand that you're opening yourself up to criticism, which might or might not be constructive.


I will say, I don't care what most say about me. And I know most questions I ask will be rated down for no other reason than its just me asking them. But I know you will give pretty good advice on whatever I ask. I know as an example this website hated my shattersoul topic but I got +11 on ffxiah when I posted same subject their.

And recently after being ridiculed for sch/whm banish. due to its skill in it. After posted Assistant tier meebles with skeletons, and out pacing the Uko warrior I showed it was a good combo and it had its uses.

Anyway nice conversation

Maybe you should try this one. http://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/30499/shattersoul/ Everyone liked the shattersoul topic.

And the 2nd link you gave A schoars education page 7. again they like and agree. Even suggest posting my findings on meeble marrows page.
http://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/32145/a-scholars-education/7/

If your going to post negative threads on people who RTM that's your business.

You may have a diffirent view on reality than the rest of us. What i'm seeing there is someone who's asking how he can DD with Shattersoul, and the first 4 people are (justifiedly) laughing at the idiocy of the suggestion alone. All i'm seeing is people making fun of it, half-assed suggestions that are meant to not be taken seriously, then two people after you've finished posting that are absolutely laughing their asses off, being sarcastic and having a great time at the troll attempt.

Could you please point out just where they are not being sarcastic and actually praising you? Because it's really hard if not impossible to find so far. However, the pictures are amusing and atleast one person simply likes how the WS looks. It's nothing but trolling from that point onwards and people saying "dont pretend you're a DD on SCH".

Also as pointed out in another thread earlier, parses dont mean a thing, and can be taken completely out of context. If everyone else is proc'ing with weak WS's and you're the only one DD'ing, or for all we know you were doing those on EP's meanwhile, or knew there was going to be a parse and went all out endangering yourself and needing massive amounts of curing or causing downtime for others?

What that parse is telling me on page 2 is that the two "DD SCH's" apparently melee'd 100 times more often than any of the other players. And that your total WS damage is actually pretty close to your total melee DoT. Which means it's absolutely an inflated parse, taken over a long time, probably before anyone else got invited. And that no one else was actually doing much, if attacking at all. Again, it's followed by more people laughing and you apprently not getting it. Reading stuff about "parse not being impressive" and "Thanks for the parse i know who not to run with for voidwatch sheesh.".

So really...? Hmm...

If you read what some of those people who liked the post said right after (the two immediately following your post) they commented in it in a condescending, joking manner, and that it was a hilarious story. They weren't liking it because they agreed with you or felt that your story was legitimate, they felt you were trolling them and they liked it because they got a laugh out of it. As it was mentioned earlier, just because it was liked doesn't actually mean that it's "good" information. They (at least the two that posted in the topic after liking it) found it a hilarious post, and liked it because of that.

As for the second link you posted, again it was said in a very sarcastic manner. The way they said it wasn't meant to be taken as legitimate praise of what you posted, but as a backhanded insult. Like "Oh wow, that's some great info. You should REALLY post more about it!"

If you can't say something constructive, or nice. You shouldn't say much at all. A person shows their insecurity when they have a bg mouth and have to bash others down to feel good.

Good luck, I hope karma doesn't do to you as you speak and act.



The part that amuses me is that you seem surprised by the fact that Raelix posted a reply that had no purpose other than to be a condescending ********* I'm fairly new here, and I already know much better than to be surprised by that. I mean...I'd be shocked if he DIDN'T reply to any thread here with a snarky and belittling comment that bolsters his own ego and asserts his perceived superiority. He's the Zam equivalent of the red Corvette driver in RL.

I summed up the direction of the thread in ten words. I'm absolutely insulted you'd associate me whit the ******** that is a Corvette though.

So I am making a relic.

I am considering Mjollnir, the WHM club. In all hopes one day BLM can use it. The club gets the powerful weapon skill Hexa Strike. The club also gets a hidden 3x damage modifier. Would that make hexa strike even stronger than Resolution?

I have already tested this all out myself and proven it's true but I'm just creating this topic to get your opinion on something I've already made my mind up about and to use this forum as a bully pulpit to troll for flames.

Karma means I can sleep easy at night knowing all the people I treated badly had it coming.
