If anyone gives you grief over giving yourself a +20% boost to experience in the newbie dungeons for a small reduction in effectiveness, they are just jealous they don't have the Friendship Circlet themselves.

I decided to try to use Blizzard II to kill the super weak adds in Halatali, since they die in two ticks of Bio so they can't survive it, right? It couldn't even kill those. Blizzard II is the worst.

Gah, all of a sudden I seem to be getting all of the bad pubbie groups. Gonna have to figure out a Free Company solution here soon. Also just got my third seal and I've mostly gotten the patterns into my head. My question is which Jutsu is best for when? I'm assuming I want Huton up all the time, but is Doton better aoe than Katon so long as groups are stationary? How about using Doton against a boss?

LornMarkus posted:Gah, all of a sudden I seem to be getting all of the bad pubbie groups. Gonna have to figure out a Free Company solution here soon. Maintain Huton at all times. Single-target: - Raiton is 360 potency and should be what you use on single targets and with Kassatsu's auto-crit most of the time. - Suiton is only 180 potency in a vacuum, but makes you count as hidden for the next few seconds as far as being able to execute Sneak/Trick Attack (mostly Trick Attack) are concerned. Use it when their cooldowns are up and combo into Trick Attack (or occasionally Sneak Attack) on your next off-GCD. - Fuma Shuriken is 240 potency physical damage (benefiting from your buffs, unlike the rest of the ninjutsu) and is also lag-friendlier since you only need to hit 1 mudra. If you screw something up, a shuriken is better than a Hyoton or a bunny of shame. - Hyoton sucks, being a piddly 140 potency with a bind. Unless you're in some very unusual situation where the bind is actually important (I honestly can't think of one), never use this. Multi-target: - Doton is a 30 potency DoT that ticks 8 times (and also heavies things), adding up to 240 potency provided a. the mobs live that long and b. the mobs stay in the circle. I'm not sure how it interacts with Kassatsu's auto-crit, but probably unflatteringly. - Katon is 180 potency straight-up, and will auto-crit with Kassatsu. Use it for AoE if you can't depend on Doton getting at least 6 ticks in.

Blizzard 2 used to have the same potency as Fire II, which apparently was overpowered or something, so they nerfed it by 50 loving percent.

Doton has 100% crit chance when it's Kassatsu, putting it at a 360 potency aoe and definitely worth using.

Oh wow, much better than I expected then. So yeah, Kassatsu your Doton if you're AoEing. My advice still remains to use Katon if you don't expect at least 3/4 (18 seconds) of the Doton to actually be in effect due to squishy mobs or wiggly tank.

That being said, do not use Doton on single target. It is not worth it in comparison to Raiton. Even if you use Kassatsu.

If you'd be fine with the potency of blizzard II why not stick with blizzard I all the time too? Astral Fire I/II/III increase fire damage by 40/60/80%. Umbral Ice I/II/III lowers fire damage by 10/20/30% and vice versa.

Plus if you're tanking and dying with the friendship circlet on you're going to be dying without it on because low level dungeons can be tanked by DPS, who have much worse defense than you do unless you're using normal quality stuff 10+ levels behind the dungeon level. Or you're one of those people who hits the first 3 dungeons and still have empty spots on your left side for some reason*. Those people are so much fun to play with.  *If you're on Excalibur and this describes you then you need to talk in FC chat more.

JOHN loving MADDEN in FFXIV/Wow terms, not that bad at all in Starcarft terms. Really you're mostly micro-ing your mana consumption, your pet position, and your (pet's) cooldowns. Not that hard at all. You just have to be proactive, whereas a WHM is reactive.
