Well after an evening of frustration against paralysis dragon, I am happy to say that I beat U++ Geruda on the first try. I just did the usual Shout wall physical rushdown and it worked just fine. I completely ignored the feathers. LOL. That was refreshing.

U-DO Burger posted:Do you have any decent BSBs or SSBs for someone with Knight 5? The trash mobs and the bosses use lots of single target moves, so someone with Gaia Cross and Magic Lure in the ability slots and Knight's Charge for their RM will be making GBS threads out SBs like crazy. It's what made my melee strategy succeed. In a pinch you can use any Tauntaliator if they have a burst. This is exactly the reason I sphered up Cloud for Knight 3. Let him deal with the trash and save everyone else's hones for the bosses.

saved 100 mythril to pull for a non-lovely Lightning SB and hopefully get Vanille's BSB. Wound up getting Etro's Embrace and Mistilteinn on the first pull. gently caress YES!

Any tips for that 140 Diff Dragon fight in the FF14 event? I managed the 140 fight in the FF5 fight, but the damage on this one is unreal.

When the bonus battles come around, it's time for a little payback on the Adamanchelid. I wasn't able to take him down in JPN, so I'm hoping I can turn it around this time.

Man i should probably be pulling on banner 2 but banner 2 has Hope and the worst Cid. Banner 1 at least has Fang. ... Maybe I'll just wait to see if I can finish the event without pulling first.

Pulled Fang's Punisher from this new banner. I was looking for a new wind toy for my wind team. Now here's the question, are jumps still good DPS and worth using without Blood of the Wyvern? Because I'm considering taking Wind Jump & Sky High on her since even though I haven't gotten to hone the former, it'll still be some really nice damage with an imperil up.

Not bad in single player at Speed 1, please don't in multiplayer. Only benefit is the extra Air Time on Sky High makes scripted attacks really easy to dodge at quicker speeds. Edit: whoops, I'm thinking of the wrong Fang SSB. pichupal fucked around with this message at 03:22 on Jan 7, 2017 |

Grabbed an Asylum Y'shtola instead for that sweet, sweet damage mitigation. Also threw magic breakdown instead of lifesiphon on Ramza, and honed up a secondary curaja for Y'shtola (that she didn't touch).  Final, winning set-up:

  I envy people with native sheep so badly. Thankfully the bits I do have (Neo Almagest, Sea Lord's Broadside, Princess's Favor) gave me enough mitigation that I could bring ninja galuf along to provide extra offense to a Maria BSB spamming Krile.

I'm okay with this idea. Wind Slash isn't the best for damage, but it's a surprisingly decent 2* skill. If you can stick Fang in the front row I'd just go with Lifesiphon instead, but the extra defense from staying in the back row is worth it in a lot of battles. Wind Slash also makes a nice pairing to Sky High if you have Imperil up, since it'll help you keep Fang's SB gauge filled - Sky High will eat up a decent amount of time that would normally mess up keeping that ATK/MAG Breakdown SSB up. I also suck at actually using my Greater and Major Orbs, so an easily hone-able 2* skill is pretty attractive to me.

Quick sanity check: Torment left me with 35 spellblade motes. Any reason not to craft (and shatter) two more copies of Snowspell Strike (teaching two out of Steiner, Paine, and Delita to cast it in the process), and have 5 motes left over to unlock it for TG Cid?

3x11 - 2x Fang armguards and 1x Lightning SSB. Am I right in thinking that this outclasses her other SSB in every way except that it's AoE? edit: also got Vega42 on my dollar draw - 1-year-ago me would be stoked, but I guess native hastega is always a good thing.

bilperkins2 posted:3x11 - 2x Fang armguards and 1x Lightning SSB. Am I right in thinking that this outclasses her other SSB in every way except that it's AoE? I assume you mean Lightning because both Fang SSB's are single target. In which case... sort of. So, first off, both the new SSB and the old one (Crushing Blow) are both AoE. The old one is 6.5 total lightning damage. The new one is 4.9 total lightning/non damage... and enthunder. Which boosts future lightning element SB's damage by 80%. (And lightning skills like our newest 5* Spellblade that Lightning would need to dive to use by 50%). So, the old soul break is actually better... unless the enemy resists lightning, or you have both, in which case, the optimal play is to cast the new SSB, and then follow it up with the old SSB.

Why are you in a hurry to spend the motes? Are you going to hone anything vital with the crystals that you can't complete content without? Just hold onto them. There are no more coming for a very long time, so unless you need to get rid of them for some reason there's not much to gain from spending them so freely.

Hokuto posted:I got Snow's BSB on a dollar pull. Is this even good? Are there good fist or dagger weapons that buff ice?? Hell yeah it is. Snow is solid as he has monk and knight 5. Anyway last stand is a great effect, any lethal hits won't kill the target, it'll just leave them with low hp. And there is nothing bad about a 3 hit self atk/def 30%. I think it's good, 20 Attack and 127 def and res is legit regardless of the realm. Yanked a mistleteinn or whatever on a single pull. Be like me and only single pull.

Zebia posted:For those of you who have created spreadsheets with your SBs, how are you formatting them? Personally I only include 5* and above stuff, not combined 3* or 4* relics because then it just becomes too much of a pain to keep track of. Each realm is a row, and I have color-coded cells for character SBs, shared SBs, and generics. Bold for SSBs, italics for BSBs, and both for OSBs (irrelevant since I don't have any yet). Not sure what I'll do about USBs and CSBs when they hit global, I'll figure that out when the time comes I guess. Maybe I'll just do the bold/italic treatment for all native 6* relics regardless of SB type, I dunno.

Jesus this Primal ExDeath fight is kicking my rear end. Trying to run a mage team but I can't figure out a good way to stack enough mitigation. I have to bring Tyro for medal conditions since none of my other mages can hit him with breakdown effects, but that means I don't have room for Y'Shtola's wall since I also need Vanille on BSB healing duty, so I end up having to forgo either Protectga or Shellga and run with just Multibreak (which I only have 2 hones for) and Exhausting Polka or Sarabande, but then that leaves Tyro sitting on his rear end for 90% of the fight. Right now my team is: Alphinaud w/ BSB, R2 Leviathan, R4 Firaga Papalymo w/ Ley Lines, R3 Waterja, R4 Stoneja Terra w/ Fire Beam, R2 Chain Firaga, R4 Firaja Tyro w/ no SBs, R1 Multibreak, R3 Exhausting Polka Vanille w/ Transcendent Dream, R2 Shellga, R4 Curaja RWed Wall That's pretty much all I've got for mage stuff, aside from Y'Shtola with Wall. I can't think of a way to hit the medal conditions without Tyro, and I can't afford to let her take a DPS slot. Mitigation is troublesome though, because once he starts spamming Vacuum Waves and Sword Dances, he can get some lucky RNG and murder one or two characters before I get a heal off. I feel like I *should* have all the tools I need for this, since I've got like 2 of the best mage SBs in the game and one of the best healing BSBs, but I dunno, I'm missing something or doing something wrong. I think my ability to keep up mitigation just kinda sucks when I'm not using physical stuff. Grizzled Patriarch fucked around with this message at 09:23 on Jan 7, 2017 |

I've done an 11-pull on every single SG banner since I've started, including 2 pulls on Keeper 2 when I already had a few dupes  I was excited about Y'Shtola's Wall but it's almost taunting me now because I keep running into situations where I just can't quite get away with bringing her along. edit: lol I just looked at that banner again and literally the only relic I don't have off of it aside from SG is Stardust Rod, which doesn't even seem very good. I have 2 Masamunes and 2 Twin Lances, somehow.

Maybe drop tyro for yshtola and RW keepers tome - the burst commands are atk/mag and def/res breaks, bundled with proshellga and mblink. Dispel has a 10% counter rate I think, you can hit medal requirements once, and then not worry. If you get stung with dispel, S/L until you dont.

The dispel also isn't a big deal. It dispels haste, protect, shell, and regen (and probably some other positive status effect I'm forgetting), but not stat buffs (like wall), and all of those things can be reapplied.

Ultimate Dispel, if the name ever comes up in game or in this thread, removes all stat buffs, and is exactly why Ult Barthandelus was a bitch and a half when he was released.
