victrix posted:Speaking of mithril flow, once you've exhausted all of the normal realm dungeons, how much do you get monthly? The rule of thumb is ~100 mythril a month. It should be a little higher now thanks to Multiplayer giving an extra 3 per event.

Dr Pepper posted:I think with whales like that it's not enough to just get a relic. They need three of them to get max level combining. That's so drat unnecessary. The base relic for the SB and statstick is more than enough to tackle all the content in the game, especially if you have your pick of every item on the banner. Anything more than that is just a dick waving contest- Oh.

Zurai posted:Golbez's BSB is really fun, I can tell you that from personal experience in JP. I've been able to solo quite a few U/U+/U++ bosses with him. He has the strongest life steal ability in the game as far as potential health recovered (technically Thief's Revenge can heal more, but you're not going to cap TR against anything relevant and I have capped Golbez command 2 against Ultimate and up level bosses if they're dark-weak). drat, that's a rough choice. I hate choosing between good utility and being awesome. Looking at it again, I think I'll just barely get another 50 mythril for the FFIV event (assuming it comes after FFT), so maybe I'll just pull on both, then start saving up again for whatever cool 2nd anniversary banners we get.

Can anyone explain what's so good about this TG Cid event? I'm gonna do one pull for Raines tonight. Sounds like the upcoming summoner and FFT banners are the ones to shoot for this month.

Sounds like the upcoming summoner and FFT banners are the ones to shoot for this month. Orlandu has the best OSB in the game. It's stronger than other physical OSBs baseline (1500 vs 1200 potency) at the cost of a slightly longer cast time (3.7 seconds vs 2.5), it's dual elemental with both easily boostable and relatively common as weaknesses (holy and thunder), and most importantly it has an incredibly good secondary effect (Thunder God Mode, which grants 1/3 cast time for all the user's actions for 25 seconds). The rest of the banner is good but not astounding. Even moreso than the Raines banner tonight, if you pull on the TGCid banner you're pulling for a single relic.

Also Gaffgarion is released alongside Cid but he's so thoroughly outclassed straight on his debut that nobody remember him.

D250 down, with mastery. RW Shout. Used Gilgamesh, Kain, and Vanille's BSBs, Indomitable Blade, and Sentinel Grimoire. I didn't use anything but basic attacks and a few of Gilgamesh's Lifesiphons and BSB/BSB commands, and Vanille's BSB on the trash waves. R2 Multi Break and R3 Heathen Frolic Sarabande were fully expended but other than that, Vanille's R2 Shellga, and Gilgamesh's R4 Lifesiphon and R1 Gaia's Cross, I barely used any of my hones since I was able to ether the hell out of Lightning Dive on Kain and Snowspell Strike on Celes. I had to power through the last ~25% of the trio's HP without Shout, but getting to sneak in Eternal Light for extra damage whenever Celes ate a bunch of single target nukes was a big help. Making liberal use of my SBs for raw damage even when the effects hadn't worn off also was great. I just used Gaia's Cross and Maria's RM Inflame on Tyro to meet medal requirements. f2p btw Bonus 10k HP Chillgamesh: Chillgamesh fucked around with this message at 23:12 on Jan 9, 2017 |

Not quite. There are new Agrias relics in there as well, and pretty much her whole kit is there. I personally have no relics for her but I still use her all the time because she's just that good. I will be blowing all my mythril on this banner mostly for Agrias gear but any Orlandeau gear with be icing on the holy cake. Also, correct me if I'm wrong but Orlandeau is also supposed to have pretty rad stats at level 99.

The Summoner Nightmare looks to be estimated for the 24th and Platinum Sword makes an appearance on TGCid Banner 2 alongside his new SSB Chant as well as his BSB.

I'll probably just barely have enough myth for two 50s this month when the DU hits, so the question is: Summoner Nightmare, FFIX, X, or T? (my synergy is subpar for IX, X, and T) IX-1 is so goddamn tempting because I love Zidane and a good draw on that banner could juice him out of control.

(my synergy is subpar for IX, X, and T) As long as you don't care about Cid Missions (they are a pain in the butt, the rewards aren't that great, but still nice), then pull wherever you want. If you like Zidane, take a shot at it. 'Tis my opinion anyway.

Fuuuuck, the 24th? Okay when is this Banner 2 coming out? I'll have 50 mythril later tonight/tomorrow. Trying to plan a little. But I'm sorta thinking I should def draw on that banner 2.

Johnny Aztec posted:Two questions: When is the Nightmare banner coming out Same. I'm really determined to smash Kaiser Dragon and craft Meltdown. I can usually drag Kaiser Dragon into the final phase, but he usually smashes me before I can finish the job. But I got a bunch of key SB's which I think should help, plus orbfest got me nice hones: Magic BSBs: Veil of Wiyu, Sorceress' Awakening Healing: Phoenix of Tycoon (BSB), Will of the White Mage, Divine Heal, Sync, Portrait of Lakshmi, Trabia's Light, Hymn of the Fayth, Oerba's Boon, MIracle Prayer (Vanille), Medica II, Tailwind, Princess' Prayer (Ovelia) Boosts: Vessel of Fate, Power of the Void, Ley Lines, Deployment Tactics Defense: Sentinel's Grimoire, Stoneskin II, Aetherial Pulse Mblinks (not sure if they're worth it in this fight): Neo Almagest, Keeper's Tome, Divine Heal, Princess' Prayer (Ovelia) SPECIAL: Grand Cross Kind of wish there was a web form to log what I have, at this point in the game I don't exactly remember everything I've got. Now my magic kind of sucks, I've got Chain Blizzaga (R2) Blizzaja (R3) Blizzaga (R4) Chain Firaga (R2) Firaja (R4) Firaga (R4) + (R4) Chain Thundaga (R1) Thundaja (R4) Thundaga (R4) Chain Bioga (R1) Biora (R4) Waterja (R3) Waterga (R4) Meteor (R2) Ruinga (R4) Drainga (R4) Drain (R4) I've got some R4 summons too, but not sure how much I want to mess with them since they can take away from the tanking ability of Dr. Mog's crystal. I'm thinking I should run something like: RW: wall Alphinaud Rinoa Exdeath Onion Keeper (full record dive) Lenna Alphinaud and Rinoa will be running with Blood of the Summoner/Espers to double up on magic and eventually BSB actions, Onion Keeper will boost/faithga and throw down magic, Lenna will be a healing machine, and Exdeath will either faithga or I can run my least honed chain-ga's and tank magic hits with Grand Cross. Does that sound like it would work?

Unless you're a bitter vet getting hosed by the recent banners who's been playing since week one, because otherwise the game would be trivial. Seriously, a single BSB and no OSBs out of 8 pulls on OSB fest and FFXIV-1 is really poor luck.

Welp. I didn't get what I wanted, but I can't complain at all. I got Hope's OSB(I own his BSB), Snow, Sazh and Cid's SSBs.

2/11, Battle Standard and Canopus AMPs. Blegh, no crazy Cid for me, definitely not pulling again with the summoning banner on the horizon. Ah well, might be useful for CM stuff, I guess. This game fuckin' loves giving me guns for Sazh, that's my fifth one.

1/11 Hope OSB. Turns out bitching about no OSBs got me an OSB. It's no Cid Burst, since I don't have Hope's BSB, but it's still a good 1/11.

Decided to try a pull for Raines BSB since I had Mythril to spare. Hope OSB, Serah SSB and Sazh SSB . First OSB too, and my second holy SB other then Palom's Holy/Fire/Lightning SB. The game seems to be handing mage shouts to me now with Eddie, Papalymo and Serah. It's also nice to having something for my favourite character from XIII, Sazh. XIII is now my strongest realm by far, so I'll have to wait for fest banners or the WoL limit chain banner if I want Raines BSB again. edit: is everyone getting this OSB or what?

That tortoise was a fucker. Decided to forgo trying for mastery and threw Dismissal out the second try. I think I'm just going to ignore delay conditions from now on. It's just worthless and never helps. Still managed to master Lightning doing that, but not the shell bastard. Will try that mech tomorrow, probably a good chance to take Kain's Burst for a spin but I can't be arsed right now.

Now I just gotta go back in there and master it. She's perfectly fine! Unless she spams AoEs. Which she does, constantly, at all times. With just Protectga/Breakdowns, expect Crushing Blow to do 2000 damage to everyone each time she uses it. Same with Waterga vs Shell. It's telling that even when I'm packing Wall, I can't keep up with the damage she's making GBS threads out.

I spontaneously whaled a couple of 3 pulls on banner 1 because while the hot new thing is Cid's BSB I like the stuff on the first banner more and want Snow's BSB. Came out with Noel's SSB instead. I'm okay with this, instant damage with auto-stun and two turns of powerchain is hot stuff.
