FruitPunchSamurai posted:I feel like the new torments are actually a step in the right direction as far as the new content goes. Being able to get some rewards even without killing the bosses is a step in the right direction. They encourage you to use characters that you might otherwise never use in ways that you might never have used them. As someone who has been playing this game for about 2 years now, they feel like a breath of fresh air in comparison to any of the magicites or the old torments. Awww they stopped doing full throttles? I loved those since they meant I had to use something else besides Mako Might/Dr. Mog and Ace Striker/Battleforged. Actually are those still the go to RMs? Also how did Null Throttles turn out? I missed those and having no access to SBs at all sounds interesting.

Nowadays people use school/element/weapon boosts because 6* skills generate enough SB gauge that you don't care about boosting it anymore. Though Mako Might/Dr. Mog's are still useful for your buffers and healers.

Yeah, in endgame content the only people you really slap Ace Striker/Battleforged on are entrustbots like Shelke or (sometimes) OK/Tyro. Occasionally you'll get them on a buffer like Ramza or Sazh who juggles multiple buff SBs, but you have to contend with not getting those buffs up on The Very First Turn.

It's 33-pull o' clock! I got Nine USB, Emperor USB1, Ysale LMR, and Jecht BSB. Slightly subpar but 1) free 2) no dupes 3) my other 33 pulls were insane so I was bound to have a dud sometimes. EDIT: Also did the half-price pull physical pull, and got two Tidus glints and his LMR (which I have at 8* already). Glints are...mostly useless given that I have his chain and USB and LMR?

Ahhh, I did good, did real good! Vivi USB Seppy USB2 Rydia OSB (my third, but it was my highest MAG weapon already) WoL Glint (dupe) Luneth Glint Aranea LMR Eiko BSB Lucky draw got me Pecil AOSB, Cloud USB2, and Squall LMR I think I have a complete Aranea now. All her gear snuck up on me. Is Vivi's USB still good? Sesq fucked around with this message at 02:38 on Nov 15, 2018 |

33 got me Bartz BSB2, Relm USB, and Tifa AOSB. Lucky got me Squall Glint* and Locke AOSB. This says, "Instantly grant the user Empowered Infusion for Ice". Does that mean it makes my attacks Ice, or does it just buff any Ice attacks I use?

It powers up your ice attacks and makes your basic attack also ice. The empower part means you can stack it up to three(?) times for more of a boost. 1 dupe! TWO CHAINS! Seymour USB is nice, Cloud glint is nice, Scott burst is good just to have something for FF2. I now have a physical and magical chain for fire and water, plus that tasty lighting chain! Heck yeah!

It turns the standard Attack into an ice attack (pointless in most situations), and boosts the power of any Ice-element abilities that the character uses. e:f,b.

33: Galuf LMR2 (dupe), Palom BSB (dupe), Master USB, Sephiroth USB2, Rinoa LMR1 (holy poo poo how does she have four of them?), Selphie USB1 (dupe) Physical: Locke LMR Honestly I'm surprised that I only got one weapon out of this as opposed to six pieces of armor. Usually it's the other way around! Kheldarn posted:33 got me Bartz BSB2, Relm USB, and Tifa AOSB.

My pulls went in interesting directions 33: Locke AOSB, Mustadio USB; Echo LMR. Emperor BSB, and Fujin BSB (dupe) Phys Lucky: 2x Pencil Glints and Tidus Glint (dupe) Not great but I cant say its bad either; no discos on the Phys Lucky hurts though, and Locke is kinda useless (I have his enfire LMR and nothing else) I have Pencil USB2 so with his Glint I think he can replace my healer on my Holy team

Pretty bad for me. 5/33 - Braska USB, Yuna Summon USB (dupe), Tifa OSB (dupe), Aria BSB, Tidus Instant BSB (dupe) Braska's the only 'useful' thing for me (Aria already has her USB). And a draw on the physical banner brought Squall's LMR. Not a dupe so it's not bad at least? Fingers crossed for the magic banner. Still torn on whether i'll do the healing one - I have Ovelia and Rosa's USBs and all the bursts, but the last few USBs and LMRs would be great for Torments.

And the lucky: No dupes so that's good. I have Cloud's wind LMR so his wind USB will be great once earth magicite finally gets unlocked, and it will definitely help with Torment Jenova. I have nothing else for PCecil, so it's good to change that, but at the same time just an AOSB and an enelement LMR won't be very useful for magicite or torment. Also I now have a grand total of 14 +holy swords, not including the ones I combined

I barely play these days and mostly log in for daily mythril and to autoattack some event battles every once in a while but I saw there was a 33 pull tonight so hey whatever. 4x33: Rikku CSB, Xezat USB (+ice weapon gently caress yeah), Galuf BSB2 I think, and Zidane BSB2. I'm hesitant to pull on the lucky because the only thing I really want is Squall USB. What else is coming up? I'm assuming a few more luckies.

33 pull - tidus AOSB is a dupe, but ignis USB is a big gently caress yeah and Goblez USB is... something new at least! (bsb a dupe) plucky - 0 dupes, and phys ice is a weak element for me so Squall USB2 is great! also my first +ice weapon, so that owns. Tidus has LMR already so the glint is meh, Pecil has USB2 so his LMR might see use eventually too

5/33 Sarah USB Raines USB Montblanc LM (dupe that I just from the Realm draw) Noel LM Seifer LM 2/11 Locke Glint Tidus LM Too many LMs for my taste. Is a Glint even useful if I got nothing else for the character? Also kinda salty because I was planning on blowing the Alcolyte black mage banner choice on my friend Montblanc so I can use him, but now I have to get Raines' BSB claws.

Eiko's USB is good but not as good as a lot of other healer USBs. Definitely nowhere as good as Relm's USB, which imho is tied with Ellara's for best in the game right now.

Relm for Speed and general purpose healing, Eiko when you need Last Stand or want the Hastega for Dispel/Slow (or the rare battle where you feel like you need to start with a Medica amd can use he Hastega). Dives are both survivability in different ways - Relm's elemental defense makes her less squishy, and Eiko's Trance will save her once and boost her MAG, MND and cast time which pays off for whatever she does: bard songs (not Allegro), summons and healing. Not too hard to trigger when she's providing her own Last Stand too. I'd probably put Relm ahead of Eiko, especially now that Hastega is an ability that can solve the AoE Slow/Dispel situation, but Eiko still shines in certain situations. pichupal fucked around with this message at 05:23 on Nov 15, 2018 |

Electric Phantasm posted:
I think the answer is 'it depends on the Glint and the character'. I have Terra with her Glint and doublecast LMR and it makes her pretty viable for Isgebind, but enelement and quickcast are really all a mage (heck, most characters) needs to pump out some decent DPS given how solid the 5/6* spells are. Locke has essentially the same Glint so he might be able to do similar with the new fire thief abilities, but he doesn't have a doublecast LM option. Also I don't think Raines BSB is as mandatory as it used to be unless you want to use him for holy DPS, you can probably do as well or better for Dark with the USB and Dark Zone and/or Necrofear. I'm looking forward to the mage lucky, pretty much all of those LMRs are excellent and for characters who I already have relics for and who are good. I've got a number of dupes (Ashe USB, Terra BSB2/Glint/LMR, Rinoa BSB2), but it's one of those rare banners where I'm almost as excited for the low end as I am the top end.

4/33: Seph BSB2 (dupe, but +dark katana) Shantotto LMR2 Firion OSB (dupe, and it was crap the first time too) Wakka USB1 Physical 2/11: Tidus Glint Locke AOSB That Tidus glint is probably just gonna sit around, but Locke's AOSB is making me feel a bit better about my chain-less fire team. Also that Wakka USB got me thinking: Out of the support pool his dive isn't total poo poo, but should we even worry about balancing dives now? Assuming power creep will eventually get us all the rubies, we can just buy motes for the more favorable pools and never think about diving a support again.

I’m glad I pulled Sarah’s BSB though. Nabaat’s dualcast LMR is always welcome, too bad she shares a realm and a skill set with Raines, and I don’t really have anything else for her.
