Intelligent and bright, they explored a world that was new and strange to them. They liked it, they thought - a whole world just for them! They were dimly aware that a God had created them, was watching them; they called out to him, thanking him in a chittering language, before running off.

As I recall, Lulu's BSB is (almost?) unique in that the commands are reflectable.

Unless you hunger for Kimrahi's BSB, you may want to wait for the next ffx event, it looks like a better banner in pretty much every way.

I'm not here to fuck spiders!

Got Gaffgarion's BSB, which would be a lot cooler if he had a broader skillset or there was a beget physical dark skill, and Auron's -atk/def SSB. Not the most exciting, but helpful. Gaff's is my first dark burst, so that's nice.

I beat Hashmal's Apoc fight last night. The raid leader was incredibly useless, he had a Beatrix with her BSB (on a boss who ignores draw fire) and a Yuna with...Tiny Bee. I've never seen Tiny Bee in action! What absolute garbage. It was a dog because we had very little DPS, but with three (effective) healers, we had little chance of actually dying. Every time that dude threw out Tiny Bee, it was just like, screw you, you idiot! Literally anything else would've been better. Made me wish you could boot the raid leader.

it's definitely skewed a bit because i like to pull on fft banners and i sunk several hundred mythril into getting orlandeau's OSB and BSB when they came out, but even taking that into account the loot i received from the anniversary lucky draws and banners proper was all weighted towards fft too

game just knows i really like fft i guess

1/11, Rikku BSB. Not sure how to feel about that, doesn't look all that special unless I run a water team.

Did pull Basch OSB off the dollar draw so that's something anyway.

Rikku BSB is one of very very few imperil water options, and the commands are solid mugs. It's quite good.

Start honing sanguine cross now. It gets a buff where the hp drain is 1/8th your health instead of the current 1/4th. Also there is another physical darkness skill coming that is stupid powerful (4.2x 4-hit vs sanguine cross's 3.8x 2-hit), but takes 30% your health.

Not to mention the upcoming 5* physical drain blade like skill. It's only 3.0x damage but with that and sanguine cross you'll be super set. I've yet to decide if the 4-hit 5* is worth it or not though.

Both are quite good. Jecht is a Fire/Dark OSB, which isn't nothin', and Delita BSB is an elemental Swiss Army knife that'll let you have something for any occasion.

Mithross posted:

This should be noted; if a boss uses reflect Lulu's BSB is gonna get you murdered. Past that, it's just a slightly worse Matoya/Shantotto BSB, swapping out Thunder for Water access.

It's probably in the bottom tier of Mage bursts next to Terra's BSB, but it's certainly better than Yuna's first BSB; there's no real reason you can't make use of it if you have it.

More notably, Lulu's beltdress is light armor. Squall's gonna really like all those belts (and the +ice they give) if you pull his BSB2.

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:

Jecht is good for his skill/equipment access, but his SBs generally are kind of crud. His OSB is no exception. It's just a bog-standard OSB, but on a statstick that doesn't lend itself well to OSB use (what with being a ranged weapon and all). It allegedly gets stronger if you have more SB gauge charged up, but who loads themselves up with gauge before an OSB instead of blowing it when they get it?

Three 6*s in one draw is a new record for me. The Excalibur is a dupe, but Agrias's enholy SSB is a huge boon for me since I also have her OSB.

:stonklol: It's one thing to finally get a healing BSB that's good at being a healing BSB. It's quite another to realize that you have enough buffs that you can natively cap MAG with contemptuous ease and thereby stomp all over difficulty 160 story dungeon bosses without even caring for their weaknesses. (I have Sheepsong for +MAG, Power of the Void for +MAG/RES, Metamorphosis for +MAG/DEF, and Tenets of the Faith for +MAG/MND.)

Doubtless Torment bosses will still be a pain in the rear end, but with a good setup and a well-chosen RW I can likely still succeed.

Hmm, so I ultimately managed to draw Squall USB and BSB2 out of the JP fest but I'm trying to figure out the best way to try and get use out of both. Using the USB before the BSB seems a little wasteful since the entry doesn't count as a Spellblade attack, and using after building the two Draw & Junction stacks was real bad cause the BSB itself ran out after just one CMD2 following the USB. Anybody got thoughts on the best way to set it out?

I think Wrath/Entrust with TGC RM on Squall is the best way to use the BSB2, so it should probably work as well for USB/BSB2 combos, along with lucking out on Doublecast Spellblade procs from his LM.

I'm not actually sure if using his USB is better for DPS or not when his EX Mode and Burst mode are only 15 seconds. I think BSB2 only would be best for Single Target, then BSB2 into USB for Multitarget, but I'd have to do the math to check that assumption and how it would work with RM/LM choices. TGC RM is definitely ideal for Full Throttle.

If you've got a decent set of mage BSBs then it's Magus Sisters. All you have to do is RW Turk Bombshell and you can kill them without taking even a single hit, potentially.

Yeah, I can see how it might not be worth it to really try and use the USB. Will try the Wrath/Entrust plan though. Hadn't seemed worthwhile before now but I can see how combining that with Gathering storm for him would be good.

It isn't healing, it's damage. He meant drain as in hp cost, not drain as in stolen health from the enemy.

Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.
Lucky Draw gave me Seymour BSB, Gaffgarion BSB, and Ramza USB. I only lack Chant for Ramza now and I'm not sure I'll ever use Gaffgarion or Seymour outside of dark team gimmicks. All 3 are new too. Not sure I'd ever use his USB over Shout unless I'm spamming Lifesiphon and can have both running at the same time alongside VoF.
