Most the dynamis runs I've done I'd get like one swing on normal mobs before they die, two if I'm lucky. Hold back? Yeah right!

A parser can be run as a straight background program, no windower needed.

I don't use a parser either.

There's a trick for dynamis sneak attack. It's not magic, but it does help a little bit: trick attack on tank, then circle and sneak attack while trick has it glued for a little. WS seperately. The one hard part about trick attack in dynamis is that you can't trick on anyone in the zone. You can only trick on people that are in your own alliance.
That is what I do, the problem is the people just crowd the mob, so there is no organization of haveing all the various tanks on one side, so the mob turns around constaintly when the tanks swap hate.

Ya, 81% is low, but I was eating +atk food. I don't XP on THF much -- only when I need to refill dynamis losses. Also, on THF, dps is about 20% sneak/trick, 30% dot/ws. More ACC really only helps the dot. So, I haven't focused a lot on thf gear. I'm 95% on NIN.

Obviously, you didn't grow up in the Mithra ghetto in Windurst. Ever met Shantoto? Her development company built the Mithra projects. :(

16 drops? Holy hell. Granted, I haven't been on many Dynamis's. (1 Sandy, win. 1 Jeuno, win. 1 Windy, wipe half way through) and I've only seen -one- AF drop. Thf hat.
In the end, I'm just talking out of my ass. So take it all with a grain of salt.

Currently I think six AF drops is a poor run, but 16 would be uber. 15 - 16 runs with the current LS, maybe 3 - 4 more before that.

My Dynamis LS tries to have a THF in each party, and we do not have BLM parties.

The only part of my Dynamis AF I -really- need is the Armet, the hat drop from Xarcabard. >.< Yeah, right, I'll be getting that soon....pft...

If you have 75 RDM, WHM, or BLM, you could probably solo your Xarcabard AF2. It takes a lot of XP and gil to do it, but Xarca is unique among dynamis zones in that certain NMs drop only specific AF2. How it's done is that the mage zones in, goes to his AF2 dropper, spawns 'em, then DOTs up the NM. Then the mages dies, the critters go back, mage stands. Rinse, repeat. The DOT keeps hurting the NM even after the mage dies. Unlike other games, you don't have to touch the corpse to loot it -- if it drops, it just falls from the sky into your lap.

You coucld also go in with a single group and take out everyone's NM. It's very feasible to sac-pull each NM you need and slay it. You can even get the first 30m extension really easily with just 2 people.

So, 5k XP later and $1m gil poorer, your NM is dead and you got -- well, nothing unless you're very lucky. Xarca drop rates are at best ~1:20 for any given NM. For example, I've done somewhere in 50~100 Xarca runs. I've seen 5 THF gloves drop. 3 were from random kills, 2 were from the THF NM. That kind of drop rate is pretty typical. City run 5~10 AF2 is pretty much expected. Cold zone, I'm happy with more than 2 per run.

You want the Finger Gauntlets more, no other hand armour has more than that amount of accuracy, think Pahluwan has the same. Stack up the accuracy and can get away with using meat against Deco Weapons and in the Mire.
STR+4 is nice but Wyvern Helm is STR+5, the more potent breaths is very useful if you solo a lot; normal -> drachen -> wyrm -> normal (still need drachen for 50% trigger).

If the Xarca NMs didn't drop anything (ie. they were like any pre-Xarc NM), the only reason to kill them would be to pop Y&Y for DL. You can get all the extensions without doing the NMs. At a guess, I'd say each Xarca NM has a drop rate about 10 times better than any other xarca critter. Each one also *only* drops the AF2 for it's own job type. That's why even non-DL xarca farming runs typically make sure they take out all the NMs.
