way to go steve posted:So kind of against my own advice, I took one last pull on tactics1. It got me a healing staff and kaiser shield! I know those were mostly booby prizes for long timers, but I'm excited to actually have a medica, and another strong piece of reverse wall. Congrats. Cleansing Strike is an awesome SB for an awesome character. The staff is rad too. Magic blink gets more useful every week.

Yeah, Cleansing Strike is really, really good, I routinely take it over physical characters with BSBs just because the extra mitigation gives you so much more leeway in tough fights. Also the shield gives a bonus to lightning damage, which makes it pretty handy for Spellblades now that the dual-strikes are out. Also Terra and Golbez, I guess. Can any other mages use shields? Can't remember now.

Thanks! These were the two items I really wanted. My toughest fights so far have been due to lacking enough mitigation and healing. It makes me wonder how different the game might seem if I hadn't happened to randomly pull what seems to be the grossest damage relic around right now. And my RW raines keeps getting used 30+ times a day, so I guess I'm helping out other people too.

The ATK softcap raise means that TGCid doing 99999s with shout and OK BSB is way more of a thing than before Nice! spam in multiplayer

iamsosmrt posted:Does anyone else here run two white mages regularly? Having Y'shtola and Vanille BSBs has given me so much leeway in beating straight forward DPS battles (I don't have the abilities hones to deal with a lot of Nightmare boss puzzles). I lack faithgas though. In my mage team I run 1.5 healers kind of, Vanille with TD and Yuna with tenets of the faith. Synergises really well, because tenets is a Mag/mind 30% boost, which both stacks with sheepsong and gives their BSB command medicas some extra punch. I rolled this team against the 250 torment and I was literally unkillable, even when proshellga dropped off, because I was healing 3k aoe every single round, and the bursts were self sustaining at that point. It's not just a viable option, it's a very good one, if a little niche and reliant on gacha luck

That's three for three you've hosed up song name references, DeNA. With Home Sweet Home and Eternal Wind, I was willing to believe you were just unaware of the reference, but I can't honestly believe that the "C" in C. Motorcycle wasn't meant to be Crazy. This is the gooniest loving thing to be asschapped about, I know. But still.

Well, I should be saving for the anniversary so I guess I won't be doing an 11-pull on this FFIV banner after all. Oh well, let's see if the dollar pull gets me anythi- *pulls Zeromus Shard* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Ugh 1/11 Faerie Claws. Second shittiest item on the banner, of course. I really needed some IV synergy too Getting kind of annoyed that I only get good pulls on realms I'm already fuckin' stacked in. Every time I pull on a realm where I have 0-3 relics, it's a 1/11, and it's almost always garbage. Every single time. Time to start saving for the anniversary banners I guess.

Decided to pull on the FFIV banner because it had some Holy options, and I just started playing FFIV on my ipad and I'm loving it so far. Zeromus Shard, Golbez's Cloak, and Asura Rod. That's at least one Holy, but wow, looks like I'll need to start using Golbez! Feeling pretty lucky. Hopefully this will let me get further in the FFIV event than I did in Tactics. I've still got a ton of Realm Dungeons to mow through in preparation for Keeper's Choice and the Anniversary, and I'll probably end up waiting out any other banners.

Oh well, let's see if the dollar pull gets me anythi- I forget, but weren't you getting crapped out on your last few pulls? I know someone around here had pretty much taken Schwartz's title of "never pull anything (good) ever," but I can't remember who it was. In other news, dollar draw was junk, but I didn't really want anything here that badly either. If I'm going to make an idiotic pull, it would be the second banner with Rydia's OSB, because it is friggin' cute as hell.

Yeah, I had to actually stare long and hard at this set of banners because I really need SBs for my FF4 dudes. Unfortunately, Cid is Not That Great (if you want AoE Pentabreak, Mustadio is right over there, and more importantly, Axes and Hammers and Nothing Else may actually be harder to equip than a gun-based dude nowdays) and I can't be excited about Perseus Bow or Radiant Robe because I already have equivalents elsewhere (Asylum/White Materia, Endless Blessings).

3/11, Golbez's Mantle, a dupe Asura Rod, and... Pecil's OSB! Welcome to the holy team I guess. For holy I have Agrias BSB, Cecils OSB, Hope's BSB/OSB, Cid Raines BSB, Ramza's BSB, and TG Cid's BSB. I think that will do.

Threw in 100 Mythril hoping to get either Golbez relic. Pulled one of everything on the banner except the Golbez relics, Fusoya's cloak or the OSB. Just my luck, ha. Well, Palom's and Cid's might see some use and I guess I have another healer BSB. Yang's.... eh.

I just got done filling out the survey for what I assume is going to be the anniversary event (it was asking about what Soul Breaks I'd like a shot at and what abilities I'd like to receive). The last question on the survey was your traditional, "We'd like to hear your opinions" question, so I took a moment to mention that it really sucks that they keep screwing us out of characters and abilities because they were part of collab events in Japan (albeit in slightly nicer language). Also asked when the hell we're getting those FF XI characters and Soul Breaks we missed, though I'm not holding my breath that they'll actually take me seriously.

Throwing this out there, but the 2nd Anniversary Survey just popped up. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe this did have an impact on the relics that were able to be drawn from the Ultros Select Banner. Given that, I'm voting for stuff that is useful down the road, not necessarily stuff that I out and out want. Edit - suppose I'll throw out my answers: Favorite character: Rydia 5* Ability: Full Break (If they give it out for free, this would be big for newer players, I had everything else already.) 4* Abilities: Lifesiphon and Ruinga (Same thoughts, good for new players; Ruinga is great for clearing trash, imo.) OSBs: Lightning, Terra, Tidus (Couldn't remember anything but Tidus's relic having +Element, so went with him and Terra, and gambled on Lightning. It was her or Zidane.) BSBs: Vaan, Y'shtola, Refia (Yes, I know I didn't vote for Onion Knight's, but given his popularity, that poo poo will show up more than Vaan's or Refia's will. Thought about Maria's, but Raines' BSB outdoes it, and Raines wasn't on here.) SSBs: Fran, Larsa, Celes (Going against the grain here, because all the super popular ones I already have. This one will undoubtedly end up as Sheepsong/Indomitable Blade/Shout, I can almost guarantee it.) Mini-game: Who cares? I don't. Comments: The missing bard motes and abilities, as well as Ayame and Curilla from FFXI. FeralWraith fucked around with this message at 03:37 on Feb 3, 2017 |

I noticed the list of burst relics on the second anniversary survey doesn't include Cid Raines. It does have the XIV bursts so I'm guessing that was the cutoff for new relics. Edit: I guess I should have complained about the missing skills and characters, but I didn't think of it and instead I asked them to make ultros a playable character

Went 2/11, Asura Rod and Cid's Gloves. Could be worse, I needed armor for IV and my only mage weapons were Ice Whip and Rune Axe, so out-of-realm casters can use a rod much easier. Was still really hoping for my first disco ball...
