HI, NIDDY! WE MISSED YOU!
Fucking Luna. Claimed and immediately flailed it.. twice. Learn to... well, learn, for god's sake. This LS flubs up so badly all the time, you'd think they'd get a clue. ._.
And just for Kaeko, who loves the fun list of names screenshots:
That's not even all of it really, I know I didn't get all the names from the entire Aery... it was pretty crowded.
Otherwise, in ground camps, the most excitement I had was running two characters at a time and tanking Behemoth on Diomedes' MNK/NIN while playing BRD at Fafnir. Funny thing was, I'd kinda totally called that happening to Vagus in /tell just before, as well. It would figure, of course.
OH YES.
Something I wanted to address. Some posts back in discussion about my WHM Slow landing on Tiamat and being able to tell Senrez whether or not it was still on based on "no effect" messages, someone tried to tell me that if a spell is resisted when it is already on the mob, you will still get "no effect" messages. I knew this was incorrect, but I didn't have anything available to prove otherwise, nor could I think of exactly how I'd come to this conclusion.
Of course, then we started Salvaging more and I was on BRD; and I remembered it was mostly Cerberus where I saw this happen.
In both shots, Carnage on a re-sing (to reset timer, I constantly sing before it wears, as we do on Cerberus because of his high resist rate.. so each BRD is always singing Carnage, while it's already on) gets resists, and Battlefield lands but has no effect because Carnage is already on (Battlefield would also overwrite itself, like Carnage does).
So, yes, if you get resisted when a spell is on, you get RESIST messages, not "no effect" messages. Now that that is solved, moving on.
First, a DANCE BREAK.
Speaking of, I have decided that in addition to my (long-neglected) Taru Death Watch, I will now be adding the Galka Dance Watch to my blog. I kind of thought of it before, but it was Nikkei's total fascination and amusement with Galka /dance4 that made it a must-do.
GALKA DANCE:
Random Einherjar, had to do another tier 1 for someone who didn't have the tag. Wivre boss, 1 set of ghosts, easy win.
No idea where I'm at on ampoules, not that I can really decide on an item to get. Possibly the Morgana's Choker, as a nice MND/MP piece on RDM, and decent for standing; could use in place of Enfeebling Torque in many many cases.
I do believe that's me.. in a merit party.
Got a couple merits out of it, was just a quick one after camps one day.
Oreo and I found a nice group of guys from WoW that invited us to EXP and got a level or two on MNK and THF, respectively. Ore EXP'd with them a couple days later, too, but I hadn't been online, and now he's gone and hit LV48, and I'm still 43.
Ah well, s'all good, I can't really afford leveling another job right now (quickly, anyway, which should suit others fine once I hit LV46).... for reasons I will soon disclose!
GALKA DANCE:
On a recent run of the JPs in TK to their Salvage, they had space available for people in Zhayolm to do frog bosses and free drops available, so they asked if Oreo and I would like to go. I was quite happy I did.
Now to get the funds to upgrade.... what I had was already cut into because of this:
In fact, I will be signing in as I'm writing this post to pick up the completed Marduk's Tiara.
And I have a plan for funds for the body, it's just a matter of waiting for things to sell. I'm not entirely sure how I ended up 3/5 Marduk when I had pretty much nothing for quite a while, and then both Payu and I got the legs done... and only need one piece for hands, and I think both the 25 and 35 for feet, I never actually remember.
DANCE BREAK!
Did some sky Friday night for event after the Salvage runs. I started off BLM, but switched to RDM/DRK when some people needed to leave.
I learned that there are indeed people that do find me intimidating.
Or... doll NMs anyway.
I did have some fun on BLM though, @Faust etc.
Got at least Genbu in before I passed out.
Damn you, Yuchi. (To be fair, she used Elemental Seal.
)
EXP on Bahamut... we're LV62-63 now. Fun times.
Especially dancing!
Random bits!
Think that's the last piece of BLM AF I'll bother to upgrade, so can redo that set now for level cap usage.
Yay Shadow Ring!
You suck, Mizz! <3
Aaaaand...

no idea which elegy overwrites which and so on. i think that's the fault. however try this: go to jormungand make elemental seal sleep II then cast sleep1 naked. if this shows resist i'm convinced, didn't try it myself, i just know i've never seen a resist message when i casted a not overwriting spell on a already enfeebled mob.

If it doesn't show a resist message, just a no effect, then I would assume it "landed." I'm sure I've at some point also come across this happening in reference to enfeebles, maybe on Dynamis mobs or some such where I'd cast a Sleepga or some such on a mob that hit an already slept mob, but saw a "Resist" message, or perhaps Silence etc type instead... having it resist, casting again and seeing "no effect" because it was actually already on. But of course, who ever thinks to look for that, but I have been watching to try and get this screenshotted for this reason.
Anonymous # 31. March 2008, 19:57
there you got your fault. that's what happened: carnage elegy was on the mob. it can be overwritten by carnage but not by battlefield, because carnage > battlefield. so when you cast carnage and you get resisted you get the resist message, because if it would have landed you would get "recieves the effect of elegy". but if you cast battlefield it says no effect no matter if it resists or not, because even if it lands it wouldn't overwrite carnage. the screenshot doesn't show which elegy is on, but i'm sure it's carnage. just try what i said before ^-^

According to that logic, if Carnage Elegy was on (which again, I said exactly that in the post, so you don't need to assume anything), and was sung again and resisted, I should have gotten a "no effect" message, not a "resist" message.
We don't do Cerberus anymore, but I'm quite sure I saw more than a few resist messages on both Carnage AND Battlefield Elegy while Carnage Elegy was on. I seem to recall the distinction because I would get the "no effect" messages more often on Battlefield when, but still sometimes got "resist" messages when Carnage was still on. I remember it leading to a sort of odd train of thought about how the lower level spell seems to land more, almost like it's something we're more 'trained' in because we've used it longer type thing.. etc, and I don't go into random trains of thought like that terribly often.
I'd have to ask how many "samples" you did of this Jormungand test; if it's only one or two, you'd have no way of proving that that Sleep I didn't land. It could have been a critical fail resist and landed, but had "no effect" since II was already on, or some such. I'm not much in the habit of running all the way up Uleguerand, but I do plan to keep trying to find my proofs. Though it's not something I'm actively looking for, obviously, as there are better things to do with my time than to figure out how the chat log works. -.-

lol sorry but you're wrong again. the difference is that when you can overwrite carnage, but you can't overwrite slow. that's why it will give you a resist message for carnage but no resist message for slow.
