Maybe it starts with PureChaos as a base?

DD is the true hero, buying more time for RK to wake up properly.

Twitch chat gave too much energy to DD, exdeath just Meteored itself and that healed him for like double digits each hit.

This game.

Can Of Worms: Sep 4, 2011; That's not how the Triangle Attack works...

BadMedic posted:

I've got two questions:

1. When is THE RUN starting? I didn't see it posted on the official site or gilgabot's twitter.

2. Did Can of Worms ever update his balance patch? I really enjoyed doing runs with it, but I remember it having a few bugs (mainly instant death not working right).

Yeah, I just pushed out a new update! The instant death bug should be fixed, but there are still some unresolved bugs (main one I'm thinking of is Jumping Berserkers freezing the game, mostly because I haven't replicated it yet.)

Get the latest balance patch (version 0.5) here!. You can find the changelog here and I added some exciting stuff! Here are the highlights:

Red Mages get !Dualcast instead of !Red 3 as their default once they learn !Red 3 (i.e. at level 3.)
Rangers get !Rapidfire instead of !Aim once they're mastered.
Thieves get innate permanent Haste (the same effect as equipping Hermes Sandals.) Artful Dodger also gives this effect.

The patch also includes buffs to Knights, Monks, Dancers, Geomancers, and some miscellaneous things. Enjoy!

Edit:

That's a separate patch by the same author.

Changelog here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/g52xshu0juaa2c7/ffvamod-doc.txt?dl=0

CanOfWorms, my friend was going on about how Red Mage should have access to Shields, not necessarily White/Black 4.

I'd rather push Red Mages towards the support option with White 4 (Black 4 is just there for symmetry) and the latest patch adds a few more bonuses to help them there.

Mega64: May 23, 2008; I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.

Ahaha, Wind job is Berserker and I didn�t even Zerk risk. :black101:

Also I wussed out and switched to Pure Chaos after that forboding Forbidden Warning. Maybe next run.

Blue Mage. Time to go collecting. Doesn't matter if I only use 5 of them, I can't not catch em all.

I like to look at my jobs ahead of time, so I can plan who gets what (I assign based on who has the best sprite for each job). I didn't even risk, and I got Zerk'd.

Thief (Faris), Berserker (Lenna), Geomancer (Galuf/Krile), and Chemist (Faris).

I pulled red mage, white mage, freelancer and ninja. Any advice on any feasible way to beat Omega with this team would be appreciated. I can't really see one without some excessive grinding, but it would suck to lose my 20 runs over 3 years triple crown streak.

Red mage can damage omega w/o counters via reflected Thundaras as long as at least one of your characters takes damage. This isn't pretty, and it's probably a ton of grinding, but it's more plausibe than thrown thunder scrolls i think.

late edit: freelancer with ninja ... I recall hearing that if you have a double lance equipped with another weapon, omega doesn't counter off of the second weapon. So something like double lance/trident or double lance/coral sword should be OK.... except for the whole 95% evade thing. So probably not great either.

Forbidden Knight to start. Sadly I'm working at the moment so it'll be a couple hours before I can see what all the hubbub is about.

Oh. Well. That's ominous.

So what are the rules we're looking at if we're using an All Jobs From The Start patch?
