Assassin's Charge

I have avoided the "Assassin's Charge" job ability up until now, not really seeing the benefit of it. But yesterday I was reading up on it again, and noticed that it will proc on the first hit of weaponskills. (Making it a triple attack).
I never thought it would be worth meriting this since all the weaponskills I have been using up until now are multihit weaponskills..but now with Mercy Stroke, this is a whole new thing. MS is a one-hit weaponskill, so you will get full benefit of the JA.

I merited it to the first level yesterday, and only had time to do once test (since recast is 15min) before I had to go to bed.. but wow!
Testmob was a colibri in Wayom Woodlands.
Did a SA+TA+AC+HIDE+MS.
No food or any other buffs/debuffs on mob.



So today I need to find a better test subject with more HP to see what it will cap at.

Would also be fun to try with food and good bard songs.

Mandau

Last night marked the end of my biggest endeavor in FFXi, and probably any game I have ever played.



This could never have been done without the help and and encouragement by the Seraphi and Interlopers linkshells. Thanks everyone. Now we start on working on the garden fork!
I also want to make a special thanks to my friend Jamibian, I dedicate this one to you.

And here are some screen shots:




(more will be added later)

Animated Dagger! Yes I'm the one..

So, last night we finally managed to get the zone. We went in with less people that I wanted to but everyone did a great job, and this is what happens when everyone work together as a team!

So close, but still so far away..

Above: This is what would happen if I meet that idiot JP LS leader.

So, I have my stage 4 done, have the currency needed for stage 5 (including the last 3000 piece loan).

But, for some reason, it is impossible for us the get into bloody Dynamis-Xarkabard. Yesterday was the 3rd night in a row where we gathered in Xark, just to have the zone stolen right infront of our eyes by a party of jp's, aiming to lowman the zone. I tried to no avail to reason with them, explaining we needed the zone to do a fragment-run. They just ignored us, didnt even bother sending a reply.

I only need that fragment, and I got my Mandau, but..
Sometimes I just feel like giving up..
