Welp. I tried to fight Ultimate Yunalesca with the following team. Couldn't even get past the second phase. So, I have a new team for this. Just need to wait for 30-something stam to refill.  SOMEHOW having no healing screwed me over, crazy, right?

the Orb of Zot posted:EDIT: Oh god I just realized this probably means a SSB and MC2 for Y'sholta, just in case she wasn't good enough already. Y'shtola could also get a dress sphere. Dr Pepper posted:So this is still months away and I have time to save up mythril right. If I' checked banners correctly (and excluded ones like SoM) it's about 13-14 banners away. So even if we'd get 1 banner per week we wouldn't see it until mid-late April at the earliest. Event details: http://ffrk.kongbakpao.com/ramza-agrias-event/ Among other good things about the event is that the 5* relic from it is +30 attack.  Getting the sword and bracelet for Ramza would be the best pair of relics to hope for imo, if for no other reason than the fact you could give him r3-4 Lifesiphon and just hulk out in boss fights. I really want to save 250 (or more) mithril for the event but I'm not sure I actually have that much willpower to resist pulling on other events. Niton posted:I have absolutely no idea who this could be - Thancred and Y'shtola are the only main FF14 characters of any combat prowess who interact with Titan in any way. Unironically hoping for Hildibrand or Godbert, but I'd be ok with us getting Trachtoum if the event is Titan-related.  It'll probably be Minfilia or Alphinauld.  Aerox posted:It's going to be the Dragoon from this: I never noticed it before but it looks like Galuf is moving properly to hit positionals in his rotation. He waits too long to Shoulder Tackle at the start though.  widespread posted:Aw, I wanted the Monk Guildmaster. Oh well. You mean the pugilist guildmaster right? Hammond Holyfist is awesome. The guy from the monk quests never stops being lame.

Golbez with the Black Dragon is such a lovely and boring boss battle. I came this close to losing mastery for an otherwise easy dungeon just because of his stupid instant death spell. Nothing like getting frozen for 3 turns and having to just sit there and get poked at, too.

It's a stretch I think but Yugiri is also a possibility as a battle ready character. I'm betting on another Scion though.

God gently caress rubicante he goes behind his cape and just stays there and pecks away at my guys for longer than they can take it's so annoying. I can even use a mythril here and I still probably won't beat him just because of this, and my ff4 party is fairly decent too and should otherwise be able to get through this but he punches too hard from behind his cape and stays back there too long and keeps doing it too long for me to matter. Even if I use shellga and my veil of protection it doens't last long enough cause he stays back there like 5 minutes each time it feels like. I can last like two hide-behinds and then I just don't have enough juice left. edit: Actually I didn't realize he doesn't always counter fira so it's not bad the worst part is though I have no idea when he's going back there and I might have ice attacks in the pipeline that just wind up healing him and I have to start over. And I beat him but not master. But that's ok cause I wanted those fire orbs cause I needed them to create the "Steal Power" skill. Now I have that.

if there's anyone else who has nothing better to do at the moment other than grinding out materias, let it be noted that Strago's RM2 needs to be done in VI dungeons. Thought I'd mention this, 'cause it did throw me; they haven't attached that requirement to an RM2 for a while.quote:What does Strago's RM2 do? IS it worth grinding out or just a completionist thing? "Small chance to counter black and white magic attacks with Stone". It's... interesting, I'll give it that... But I can't imagine it being of any use. So yeah... it's completionism, as well as making way for future RMs in case they turn out to be decent. SuperHappy fucked around with this message at 03:13 on Jan 9, 2016 |

Completionist thing. If he gets hit by magic he has a low % chance to throw a rock at the caster for physical damage, that has a low% chance to inflict confuse.

So I put this together yesterday, it's a spreadsheet, sorted by roles. May or may not be helpful if you were hunting down by a particular role. More XIV content would be good, but I'm not sure how they could make Yda or Papalymo stand out from the horde of Monks/Black Mages at the moment. Moenbryda would be interesting, if nothing else.

Comedy option Minfilia or Tataru i guess. Thancred really crowds Yugiri out, which is unfortunate because she probably makes the most sense of any of them.

Yunalesca you cockgobbling whore! Of COURSE when she's almost dead she uses Mega Death and Gilgamesh was the only one to die! Everything went straight to loving hell after that and I lost. Her HP bar wasn't even loving visible at that point, she had MAYBE a sliver of health when Gilga died. I'm NOT doing Rubicante when the bonus battles for FF4 are unlocked, this is bad enough. Quad Osmose, back to back, didn't help my chances of survival either.

JP question - I got Tyro's BSSB, do the burst replacements stack with breakdowns/full break? Kinda seems like they do from my small amount of testing, but would be good to know if I'm getting much benefit bringing those breakdowns with it.

So okay, I'm tryin to figure out how breakdowns/breaks work. So you apply it, it reduces the enemy's stat by a %, with breakdowns/steal power being more potent. When a boss resists a breakdown, is it a reduced % decrease, or shorter duration? Like what's the general idea for how often you should keep applying these debuffs? like maybe 2-3 actions after the first application, kinda like Retaliate?

I was taking a couple hundred damage from his attacks when he was behind cape with Sentinel's Grimoire up, not enough to notice anyway. That does put you on a timer, though, and back-to-back bosses are always difficult skill-wise, especially later elites. Usually with bosses that can randomly go into a defensive + counter phase I'll wait for them to do something, and if they don't go defensive just use attack abilities. Takes a bit longer but you don't get countered.

Resisted breakdowns are less effective in terms of reduction, but they have the same duration. Rule of thumb is that resisted breakdowns are about as effective as breaks, and resisted breaks are not very effective at all. I think the duration is 2.5 turns with normal cast times and no haste, so if you use them every other turn they'll always be up, and if you use them every third turn there will be a lapse.

The duration stays the same, but the effect is halved, I believe. They last 15 seconds on speed 3, so to safely keep the mitigation up you want to apply them every other round. If you want to live more on the wild side or if you have haste, you can apply them every third round. e:f;b
