Grizzled Patriarch posted:lol this Cloud USB is so absurd. Cid's BSB went from doing 700 damage per hit against Bahamut on the first cast with 1 wind imperil and no boosts to 26k per hit after 3 imperils, Cloud USB, and Zack's CSB. His USB is truly insane and never regret trying to get it natively because goddamn, USB+BSB2 on Cloud is busted as gently caress. OSB+BSB Orlandu is nothing* compared to it. In the FFXIV jump start just with the USB, Zack's CSB, and OK's BSB Cloud was doing 40-50k (x2) with blazing twinstrike. * Orlandu using OSB + Cloud USB RW + BSB not withstanding.

my one draw and loss on getting cloud's usb was tempered by the realization the overflow aspect only applies to the person using it. i thought it was a party wide buff, but having it native just means you can stick it on cloud whenever you want, and the only equipment i have for cloud is his overstrike and so that's a moot pointRagnarokAngel posted:Just click login, then "Create an account". wow that was easier than i expected, i figured being a third party site i'd have to e-mail someone and give them my credit card info or something. thanks!

Wonder if a Holy imperiled Agrias doing her OSB then BSB would do crazy dmg. Maybe I'll make my cid raines be an imperil bot for the finishing turn on my holy team

Langolas posted:I wish I had Tgcid OSB, I only have his BSB. the main reason tg cid's osb is in that combo is because the thunder god mode time decrease that comes with it, compensating for the slower charge time of his burst soul break and all of its actions. the good news is that if you get tg cid to 99, you get a record materia that gives a character thunder god mode from the get go, which means you can just RW cloud's usb and then poo poo out incredible damage using tg cid's burst (especially in jump start fights). in theory anyway, i haven't tried it myself Boogaloo Shrimp posted:If you have Cloud USB native then you RW a BSB for Cloud to use that fits the fight. that makes sense

Schwartzcough posted:I don't think the 2 orbs from pots thing is guaranteed, as I only got one from the pot(s) I encountered. Every 5* major pot has given me two 5* orbs, the 6* crystals only give one. Is there supposed to be variance on the 5*s? quote:So far the new orb dailies have been really disappointing. The pots still only seem to show up about once per 300 stamina. When you consider it takes 44 major orbs/crystals to go from R1 to R2 of a skill, and how rarely majors/crystals drop, that would literally be months of farming a daily to get enough for even a low-end hone. I just had a run where I got two 6* crystals in one stage. Sorry you've been having bad luck with this but I guess it's not surprising that droughts like that can still happen. quote:They're probably slightly better than what we had, but they're still not worth doing at all. What else are you going to do with your stamina when you're caught up on events and have cleared all story dungeons? (I'm not there on JP yet, but just saying)

Playing catchup on the Nightmare dungeons for when we eventually get the magicite stuff. Only have Tritoch, Reraise, and Curada to go. Highlights so far include Cloud using his BSB2 (with USB active) to kill Nightmare Atomos from about 60% hp. And a CMD1 to kill Nightmare Necrophobe with 1 second left on the Doom counter for OK. Cowcaster posted:my one draw and loss on getting cloud's usb was tempered by the realization the overflow aspect only applies to the person using it. i thought it was a party wide buff, but having it native just means you can stick it on cloud whenever you want, and the only equipment i have for cloud is his overstrike and so that's a moot point It only needs to affect one person to break the game. If it affected the entire party they'd have potentially killed the game or take a huge financial hit if they nerfed/removed it since they'd have to reimburse all pulls from that banner at the absolutely least (while letting people keep the other relics). I have Cloud dealing 50-100k damage with 5* spellblade abilities. His BSB2 is better because of enwind (which also means Tornado Strike is basically 99999x2 vs a lot of stuff) and being able to spam his CMD1 for 100k+ damage, but Cloud with just his USB and a well honed spellblade, or two, can still out damage most characters by a significant margin. You can also have your Cloud use a BSB RW if all else fails. Evil Fluffy fucked around with this message at 23:29 on Jul 11, 2017 |

Is there something I'm missing with the Cloud USB? I'm a USB haver, but don't have BSB2/Zack Chain. I was in the Titan Apocalypse fight, and there was a Cloud that was doing 18K a hit with Omega Drive after popping the USB. Vessel of Fate was up, as was a Zack Chain, but no other boosts to my knowledge. I tried replicating that in the single player version of the fight, bringing a Zack RW and getting Cloud's Attack as high as I can get it using Dragoon's Determination and good synergy gear, but was only doing about 10K a hit. While certainly nothing to scoff at, I'm wondering if there's something I'm neglecting would push me into ridiculous damage, assuming I don't have and can't get that BSB2.

Plus a random 30atk accessory and a bracelet or whatever is giving me that level of damage. If I use cids goggles for the wind boost, zack CSB, OK BSB, and cloud USB then yes he does disgusting damage. Like 200k BSB2 and 100k CMD1 which is far above and beyond what he does with just his USB and OK BSB. That's the thing with cloud's USB. It doesn't take much for the user to do significantly more damage than just about anyone else could hope to.

3/11. Conductor (dupe), Force Shield, Magician Mog. Hmm. Nothing of real use here (I was almost excited when I saw the rainbow but it had to be one of the two USBs I already had for this draw). But it's better than 1/11 dupe.

I sure do have a lot of medicas. 4/11 Lightbringer, Hamelin, Staff of Ramuh, Seymour Rod (dupe) I seem to remember some sort of holy damage build with Beatrix, given enough +Holy damage. Is/was that actually a thing, as in, worth going out of my way to hone for? I also have her Force Shield. edit: right as I comment on having a lot of medicas, I 2/11'd on the first XIV banner for a shot at Thyrus, and instead got the Healer's Circlet and Omnirod. I'm gonna have to compile all the ones I have and ask about them at some point. Eight-Six fucked around with this message at 03:19 on Jul 12, 2017 |

3/11, a dupe of Eiko's reraise SSB, Beatrix's enHoly shield, and Rapha's BSB. Over the course of the last month I've picked up three stacking MAG buffs, for Cid Raines, Mog and Rapha. And I have Sheepsong and Krile's BSB. Probably going to have to mess around with some more magic teams.

You guys have fun with that Lucky Draw, I'm still chasing Cloud USB. At least the BSB2 isn't a dupe. Figure with the half-stam dungeons and the backlog I have, I can scrape up enough for one more shot at Cloud USB before I give up, and the Lucky Draw too.

Drew on the Lucky. Zidane's Solution 9 - I didn't even know he had two bursts. Is this one better than Stellar Circle 5? It certainly seems like it does more damage, though of course it doesn't have the big stat theft. (Only a little one.)

I remember playing this game semiconsistently from release and then quit after a few months after that........ While waiting for downtime waiting for NRG refilling in Brave Exvius, I have decided to play this game again. However I am only planning to play this game casually. Here my current party setup : https://www.ffrkcentral.com/profile/GvrW Anyway, if my goal is to just finish all the realms, what is the fastest way to get stronger in the game currently? I just want to finish all the realms if possible. I'm currently stuck not being able to finish any difficulty beyond 70 I think?

StriderVM posted:I remember playing this game semiconsistently from release and then quit after a few months after that........ If your goal is just realm completion and nothing else, pull on whatever the current banner is and all lucky banners every time you build up to 50 mithril. Probably only pull on each banner once unless you really crap out on a banner and still want most of the items on it. To just complete the realms, pretty much any team of 3 DPS, 1 support, and 1 healer will work, though preferably with some variety for swapping in magic, physical, and/or ranged as the need arises. Of course, this is not the best course of action if you want to play events, nightmare dungeons, upcoming magicite dungeons, torments, etc. But this should do you for just the realms. Oh, and focus fire the realms during 1/2 stamina time, which actually just started, lasts for several days, and comes around once a month.
