P.P.S If I'm free, I'll do some quick and dirty testing tomorrow to show what happens with Assassins Culottes/Andravanauts, I'll post them, then you can go, I'm sorry, I was wrong. Night night, catch you soon. /waves. |
The problem is not necessarily that you don't know what you're talking about, but it's that you expect me to somehow be able to know the reasoning behind what you say without saying it. I did happen to miss that you used WAR specifically in your discussion of Ridill, but other than that--much of what you were saying is not easily decipherable. You assume that I know things that I, in fact, do not. I still maintain that the most confusing thing about your posts was that you started off with a very flat statement putting Madrigal over Minuet III and then, by your own arguments, went against your original premise--that sort of colored my attitude toward your posts.
I suppose this post didn't really resolve anything except to say that it's always based on the melee's gear and the target--which I guess I expected.
Basically, Spin is saying that against the Greater Colibri, which has low defense, most melees (who will be pushing 500+ Attack) will be able to hit (or get very close to) the 2.4 pDIF ceiling using a very cheap meat food (Mithkabobs) and just Minuet IV; therefore, versus Greater Colibri, in this situation the most efficient Meripo setup are a bunch of Attack-boosting melees and the Minuet IV, Blade Madrigal, March x 2 song set.
Icemage says that most melees gear for Accuracy, which is what i usually see--lots of Sushi, Optical Hats, Sniper's Rings, Peacock Charms, etc. and, therefore, these guys will be approaching their hit rate caps when dealing with the rather feeble mobs (such as Greater Colibri) in a Meripo, thus making Minuet III a more attractive choice than Madrigal because of the lower level difference and melee's predisposition toward accuracy.
Have I got it?
