Jose Valasquez posted:You've inspired me Turns out I"m bad at screenshots when I'm not recording video, and didn't actually get one with the damage printout against NED.    Honestly, between Break/Death chumping most of the really annoying randoms, and !White/!Black giving the berserker enough mag to make the Rune Axe actually worthwhile, the lack of a good Chicken Knife wasn't really an issue. That said, this wasn't really a good group to let Mime really shine, since everyone (controllable) was rocking both !Black and !White. Inheriting the berserker's vit and HP, along with access to shields was nice, but the lack of a good endgame weapon was... less nice. (Sage Staff and Wizard Rod went to the pure mages).

 First run down! Magic underflow'd Bartz was dealing 2K per target on every Quake proc, and triple Breath Wing let me wipe 30K HP per part right out the gate. Next up is White Mage, Mystic Knight, Ranger, and Dragoon.

I just got to the Forest of Moore with my poo poo team (Monk Red Geo Dancer) and I'm getting bored and so I'm going to go with a team of superheros from here. I need a team that doesn't require a lot of grinding or farming or hunting because I'm strapped for time. I also missed stuff in W1 to do with any of the classes that weren't on my poo poo team. Also, I don't necessarily want an 'I win' button, something fun but leaning toward good. The stats/buff/debuff oriented classes seem like a good fit. I'm thinking Bard (unless I missed any of the really really good songs? Also I've never played the class), Cannoneer (never played it but looks interesting), Time Mage and Chemist (because they're fun as poo poo to play and Chemist gets by pretty well even with items you can just buy). eta also I can get myself access to all the jobs blinking beacon nose fucked around with this message at 15:22 on Jun 26, 2019 |

Bard is good; you've missed some of the really good songs (Romeo's Ballad and Alluring Air) which trivialize most random encounters (as well as Omega), but you can get all of the other ones, most of which are also really good. Time Mage is great; as is Summoner (and you haven't missed any of the important summons yet). Chemist is obviously OP but does require some grinding/farming/hunting which you seem to want to avoid. Cannoneer is an almost as good (and in some ways better) alternative but will take some time to unlock (or, if you've already unlocked via patch, you still have to wait a while before you can buy their shots). I don't think you've permanently missed out on any particularly significant Blue Magic either. Ranger gets you !Rapidfire eventually, which combines with a fully powered Chicken Knife for some respectable physical damage.

You can't permanently miss any Blue Magic, it just gets more and more restrictive to hunt down. Like, as an example, you could learn Level 5 Death in the Sealed Library from Page 64s who cast it every goddamn other turn, or you could wait until the very end of the game when Executors in the Wendigo Shrine might cast it. If they feel like it. Maybe.

Escaping the shrine with everyone at level 35 was a loving nightmare

 Another time mage, another quickleak.  Berserk staff strats with sammy evasion and quick. I did have characters who could've survived if they were in the back row with protect from the wonder wand, at least.  Exdeath got up to his eyeballs in debt. 3600 damage per giltoss at level 44, so I was hitting each part for 18,000 a round. Over 130,000 gil all told. Neat-o wasn't as fun of a name as I thought it would've been. Maybe the 4th run won't have a loving time mage too. A man can dream.

after slogging through my first run, I got something much more enjoyable, Monk/Mystic Knight/Ninja/Dancer and have actually been having a blast. I gotta ask: Dare I dream of the Triple Crown?

I gotta ask: Dare I dream of the Triple Crown? You have plenty of ways to damage Omega, but very few (read: no) ways to lock him down. In addition, you lack an easy way of defanging Shinryu. You certainly could triple crown, but it's going to involve a lot of level grinding and some additional preperations (Coral Rings/Ice Shield for Shinryu, mainly). Thus, it comes down to "do you want to do that much work for a shiny gear and heart". e:f;b

https://twitter.com/SimonSimplex/status/1143965622868553728?s=19 Good Friends fan representing. This wasn't close at all Boring as hell run (Sam Sam Zerk Geo). I realized soon that there's nothing for me in W3, sometimes I do the Fork Tower for challenge and to pick up odds and ends, but it was dire with this team. No synergy either. I went into the Rift without having fought Gilgamesh for the Excalipoor, and that was my first time ever, because it was now that I realized he won't be there to blow up Necrophobe. I went into the rift with too little healing, had 5 Phoenix Downs when ready for Nec AND NED; I declined fighting the former. NED wasn't looking good, so I did what I rarely had to do before at this late stage: grinded for levels. Enough damage to race and levels to dodge some White Holes meant I had juuuust enough Downs.

Simply Simon posted:I went into the Rift without having fought Gilgamesh for the Excalipoor, and that was my first time ever, because it was now that I realized he won't be there to blow up Necrophobe. The Gilgamesh scene is a counter that Necrophobe executes against the attack that brings him down below 10k hp, so if you have a way to do more than 10hp in damage in a single attack, you can bypass that scene even if Gilgamesh is in the rift. There aren't a lot of options for breaking the damage cap, but it can be done.

Second run on Random; starts with White Mage, then get Mystic Knight. Just in case I was planning on worrying about Almagest any time soon, Gilgabot apparently got me covered.

Huh. You're probably not supposed to have access to Open Fire before the Wind Shrine, are you?  I started over with the team Blue / Time / Bard / Cannoneer. I wanted the full experience. Go Team Green Magick!  It'll be easy enough to catch back up to where I was (Forest of Moore), and even if it isn't it'll be fun as hell. But, I mean, just look at this glorious poo poo. It'll be easy and fun. Gilgabot's already got my money for Team poo poo and I hadn't tweeted out any crystal update hashtags because I bought my entire team. At this rate Gilgabot's might just drain my entire bank account. Changing my mind for charity

Fun fact: Open Fire appears to not counts as a physical attack for purposes of breaking confusion. It might use level only for its multiplier like Combine does, which might cause it, but I'm not sure. The Advance algorithm FAQ only lists the Attack of each of the possible results.

With Beastmaster and Blue Mage, you can learn L3 Flare in Barrier Tower by Catching a Neon, hoping it hits the person with a Reflect Ring on so that the Red Dragon is Reflected, then Control the Red Dragon, use L3 Flare, and have it hit a person with Learning and a level that's a multiple of three. I recommend having multiple people instead of just one under that criteria, though. I also recommend not having a Berserker.  I got it done, but it probably wasn't worth it. Then again, I can use it against Exdeath!

Rangers have better strength than beast masters by a little bit, so probably bows. Bows have horribly accuracy without !aim, though.
