Finally beat my first magicite dungeon (Fenrir). Blew a bunch of mithril and eggs to do it. Had a failed mage attempt with Shantotto and Reynn before I decided to take a shot at getting Ayame's BSB. Took a few pulls but I ended up with it (also a bunch of Lion stuff and Ayame's OSB). I justified it by not having pulled on most of the recent banners (think I did one on XV just because lucky draw got me a Noctis item), needing more Ice in general, and only really wanting to pull on the Shadow/Setzer banner outside of anniversary anyways, but I do not recommend chasing relics in general. I had been trying with Celes but she doesn't have the damage-I kept hitting the enrage timer or just running out of gas. I ran Ayame, Squall, Ysh, Ramza and Alphamaud and took him down. Seems fairly stable, I've killed him a couple more times with the only real issue being someone getting killed from bite before my mitigation is up. At least now I have an Enkidu which should help with the remaining dudes. As an aside, I'm also kinda happy with Ayame in general. I feared a bit after spending a bunch of eggs and an MC3 (as an aside, do we ever get easier access to these? I'm running super-low and I know I'll probably need to crack some on some earth/fire dudes at the bare minimum) on her that even if it did the job I'd end up not using her much, but her BSB seems fairly strong and she has a lot of elemental coverage with her skillset so I can actually see pulling her out for more than just farming the one encounter. I'm also interested in trying Lion sometime who seems like Vaan only for atk-heavy bosses? Although no support makes super-breaking seem less viable. Also I do think the Magicite stuff is maybe a bit overtuned, but I'm liking having to break up my normal strategies/teams. That said I wish they were maybe a bit more on the "gimmick" side like nightmares vs. what seems to be mostly gear/level checks that they are.

Done 4 of the Magicites so far. Definitely giving me an idea of what I should be shooting for in the future in terms of banners. Also, any good ideas for a RW in the VIII Torment? I have 0 ice BSBs right now.

I've had my eye on the Ayame relic for sure, but I'm not especially fond of the rest of the banner. I guess I'll try Edea or Squall BSBs and see what happens. I have pretty good VIII synergy overall, just nothing for Ice, for whatever reason. The main issue I'm seeing is that the boss has a poo poo ton of HP, and I can feasibly see these RWs getting me halfway there. I want to farm MIOs as they're amongst my lowest count, but this isn't looking likely.

I cleared living flame today using zero water sbs, but it wasn't clean. Had three ninjas with four copies of water veil and two phantasm between them, alphinaud with radiant shield, and a healer. Also some low level magicite from bismark giving water boost. Took a minute and ten seconds, had some scary moments at the end with last stands popping and sap active, but I did clear and I did get mastery. So that's all six mastered. Gonna focus on sea lion and golem for now, those are the ones that seemed most promising with what I have. Start working on getting duplicates and breaking some level caps.

Finished this event (FFXI) Completed my FIRST Jump Start, if only because it was waaaaaaaaay easier than the D220 because I could just blast him with my holy a-team with no lead up. I then did the d220 thinking it'd be a cakewalk since I did the JS. Nope! bashed my head against him for 3~ hours with my A-team, till eventually I got him by humping as many breakdowns as possible and RWing Vaan bsb. Now I need to also complete all of the rebirth dungeons

I only got Jumpstart Lich to 50% because I have zero Holy and only Auron's BSB2 for Fire. I have Beatrix's SSB2 though; would that maybe be enough to clear it if I egged her up? I feel bad letting those motes slip by.

GreenBuckanneer posted:Finished this event (FFXI) Normal Lich was waaay harder than Jumpstart Lich. JS Lich died like a chump before he could dump out AOE damage, but normal Lich had plenty of time to wind up big nasty attacks and I had to be careful about healing/mitigation, versus just chumping the dude. I beat Bismark in the Magicite dungeon based almost solely on Ashe's BSB. I thought I could chump Sea Lion with Refia and Steiner's BSBs, but I wasn't doing nearly enough damage and couldn't keep up with his AOE junk. I have Squall's OSB and USB for ice damage, but they didn't seem to make much of a dent in Fenrir.

gently caress it. I've drawn on FF11-2. Itchy drawing trigger finger. I got what I wanted, Ayame's BSB, her SSB, Lion's SSB and Shanttoto's SSB. I think I'm very happy about that. I should have not gotten away with that impulse drawing, hahahahah Cosmic Afro fucked around with this message at 04:56 on Aug 29, 2017 |

I did an 11-2 impulse pull as well. Got a couple SSB armour pieces, but I'm not mad about it. It's nice pulling on a banner that you have zero realm synergy for, anything is a win

I'm doing Tuesdailies and something seems off. The trash monsters are attacking one after the other with no pause whatsoever. Normally there is a little bit of a pause but it seems like when one monster attacks, the other one will do it's attack in the middle of the first one's animation.

The xp dungeons are awesome for magicite and now I can't wait for the new dailies JP got a little while back. Next xp run I'm going to equip a single 3* magicite so it levels faster.

Any tips for 180 cat? I'm almost there, I can get him to 10% or so but I'm running out of steam and its damage is insanely high. All characters 80: Aphmau R3 Ultra Cure, R3 Memento of a Prayer, Mako Might, shared medica SB Prishe R5 Curaja, Protectga, +MND RM (back row healer) Ayame R3 Thundage Strike R2 Thundering Twinstrike, +30% Lit Curilla R4 Power Breakdown, R2 Gaia's Cross, +30 sword Lion R2 Thief's Revenge, R2 Dash and Slash (with +wind dagger and +wind armor), +30 dagger RW Shout Magicite is level 74 bismarck It's so close. I think I'd have it if D&S and Thundering Twinstrike were both R3, but I haven't got enough orbs to even upgrade one of them.

Neutral Zone Trap posted:Any tips for 180 cat? I'm almost there, I can get him to 10% or so but I'm running out of steam and its damage is insanely high. Caveat: My team was mostly 70s and a level 90 Shantotto however, I only have 2 XI relics but they're Shantotto CSB rod dupes. That said, I think if you have decent hones, you should be able to do what I did pretty easily. I RW'ed Raines BSB. Gave my CSB rods to Shantotto and Aphmau with the other 3 running support. I did have Enkidu as a Magicite though, so that helped after his double AOE claw attack. Anyway, I've disbanded the team now so I don't remember everyone, but basically have your supporters heal, mental break, faith boost your DPS, and rely on your two Raines bots to zerg him down. They should hit him pretty hard (about 5k per hit with all buffs) and fast. There's some RNG involved so it might take a couple of S/Ls but I was able to get it down pretty easily, even with mastery even without lowering his attack.

I did Sabertooth with a weak XI team in their 60s and no relics. Aphmau/Prishe as healers, with Prishe using Haste and with Gathering Storm RM to get everyone hasted faster. Shantotto with Chain Thundaga and Sudden Thunder, Zeid with Memento Mori/Necrofear, and Lion with Steal Power/Swift Bolt. RW was Raines. Should be fairly replicable if you have a magic sword for Zeid and some kind of magic weapon for Lion.

I couldn't beat 220 until I brought two healers to get proshellga, wall, and a MBD on lich before his third attack, with one healer (ovelia) ultra curing to break sleeps and yshy wrathing into bsb and wrathing up another wall when healing wasn't needed. Meanwhile I had agrias lifesiphon up a couple bars before cloud USB, ssb2 for enholy, then BSB and CMD 1 to kill. Noctis provided some speed with constant lifesiphon->ssb spam. Still, a bit turtley compared to my usual plan. His 3rd attack would kill someone if I didn't start casting wall turn one and have everything else up. Tough 220 compared to how easy the rest of this event and his JS was.

Nice, thanks. I got him with Raines. Didn't have Totto leveled so used Lion and Prishe as mages. Still took a bit of tries and it was an ugly win but it wasn't a beauty constest. Championed too so I don't have to go all Thunder God on the cat's rear end later.

Just let me press where the buttons are under the SB animation layer and have that actually do whatever action it is I'm pressing the button for. That's how it works for the 6 star skills which do a full screen animation, like Ultima or Northern Cross, so clearly it can be done that way.

I believe you can still select a target during SB animations and such. At least, I've found that if I tap on where I know target should be, when the animation ends that target will be selected. I wish it worked for other stuff too, though, yeah. Incidentally, though, that's the one thing I dislike about Rosa's USB. At least on my phone, the big ghostly woman hangs out on the screen after the SB "ends", so the timing bars start moving again and buttons pop up for use but you can't see anything with the stupid ghost woman blocking the screen. I usually end up pausing the game halfway through the animation and waiting until the woman goes away before unpausing the game.
