Approaching 1k

Just a quick Update. Ended up going to Dynamis Sandy on Tuesday. Was really hopeing I could get my schedulw switched around for just a few weeks making me miss Tuesday dynamis runs but able to attend the Wednesday Limbus rums. Oh well.

Sandy was well… sandy. Easy as hell zone anymore. I get so bored there sometimes. I really should level up my PLD so I can at least start hoping for free lot crap otherwise I just go to get points for my RDM Tabard. I stayed just long enough to qualify for 9 out of 10 points and then left to get some sleep. AF drops seemed to be a bit on the slow side but I’ll check later with the LS site to be sure.

Last night I couldn’t sleep much so decided what the hell I’ll go ahead and log in for a bit. So I log back on still in Sandy and decided I might as well at least start my PLD feet af quest. I’ll probably finish it up sometime Sunday and then the following weekend level up PLD up to maybe 54.

I also went out and merited for just a bit last night. Got another 2 merits bringing my reserve up to 4 and a mere 8k limit points away from getting another MP upgrade. So hopefully after I log in tonight I can get a quick few limit points and boost my total convert MP up to 1k with food. It’s a nice round number and a minor milestone I have been reaching for.

Speaking of convert ratio’s in the party last night was a Taru RDM. So yes we had a 2xRDM set up. A lot of RDM’s don’t like these but I guess it’s because they have trouble letting go of some of there typical duties. For me I just split p the hasting as iwould if a WHM was in party and take half the enfeebles. Most RDM’s seem to cast enfeeble’s in a pattern anyways so after the first mob is pulled you can see what they cast first and then just pickup stuff from there.

For instance this RDM liked to start off with Sow and Gravity. So I then decide to just start with para and Dia II and so still had things to do. As a note we partied at nyzul Isle so we had a greater opportunity to enfeeble with the bugards being pulled then say a super fast mire kill party. As a bonus in a double RDM party you get a lot more chances to nuke. I threw out at least one Tier III for every Buggard pull and depending on my convert timer, hate level, and mp level even casted a second from time to time. Very nice change of pace and xp was still rolling in at a high rate. It was considerably helpful of course to have only 1 other party there so no pulling competition’s going on. I’d say we pulled in a rather easy paced 12k an hour. If we had been going for any records or what not it would have been much higher but it was going so easy and laid back no need to push it.

Oh wait I was talking about convert ratio’s. So any ways this taru had a nice balanced ratio of 957/938. I was bit surprised however that it was so low. I wonder if many taru’s have a lower ratio than myself simply because of the limitations placed on their HP and cost at which it takes to raise HP levels. Not basing this on just one Taru as I have seen several with 850-950 ish total mp. Also his starting mp was about 910 so he didn’t gain a lot from his convert gear. I never check people but I know he must at least have some mp merits or be constantly wearing his +mp accessories to be standing at 900+. So while he started off with a higher base, 910 vs. my 790, I had a higher convert max, 938 vs. 990. In addition since I have a duelist Chapeau I gained 200 more mp per convert cycle over him so in reality I had the far greater mp pool to work with. Just interesting to see the benefits of my hard work paying off. He was a good RDM by the way not bashing him at all.
