The shisui sets with skirts are good, the ones without are bad

The healer set looks really really good in general. My literal only complaint about it is I wish the skirt was a smidgen longer. I'm fine with it being an ultra-skimpy microskirt but I'd like it to be a slightly longer ultra-skimpy microskirt

It's actually the caster and tank Sky Pirates sets.

It works quite well as a skirt to go under things like the i330 tome body at the length it is without limiting options for leg wear. It's not too good with butt cape esque things

Oh, the center one? Yeah, center one on mythic is you get knocked off no matter what, actually. :v:

The way you're supposed to deal with it is with a debuff that gets applied to the tank when a particular add dies. When this debuff is dispelled, everyone gets pulled to the tank's location.

Or if you're in a Mythic world first guild, everyone plays a class or race that can cheese the knockback. :v:

or you hit the warlock gateway with .5 seconds left on the orb about to go off and ignore the knockback as well.

Shisui caster bottoms are better than the Summer set, but not dyeable unfortunately.

Yeah you'll have a full set of i110 eventually. All that poetics you've been getting can go toward buying i120 gear and buying items that upgrade it to i130 as well. The method for doing so (especially the weapon) is a bit arcane though, but the weapon is the most important one so I'd try to at least walk into heavensward with an i130 weapon.

Your level 45/50 job quests will give you i90 leftside. If you're in TPT grab an i115 weapon from the armory chest. If you need anything else just ask in FC chat.

See, that's the funny thing, I actually got all the other legend fish really pretty easily. Not first time tries or anything, but within the first few times I tried.

I've been fishing every window I've seen for something like two weeks on stinking Nepto Dragon. At least 10 windows, something like 30 or 40 hooks, failed every time. I have full Tacklekeep gear too.

But what really riles me up is that at one point, FC mate asked about doing roulettes, I said no, gotta go fish for Nepto. He chimes in like "oh I still need to do that! I'll come too", shows up. Gets it. On his second window trying.

I hate him. :mad:

Malefic and Combust. Gravity at 52. Earthly star at 62 and the lord card at 66.

Attacking isn't the AST's strength.

Yep. You finally get your AOE (Gravity) at level 52 iirc, and there's a couple of non-spammable damage skills in the 60s. Earthly Star, your Assize-alike, has a damage component, and you can turn cards into Lord of Crowns at 66.

As long as we're asking nitpicky rdm Qs: if I'm in an aoe pull and have 45/45 mana, is it better to use manafication immediately and do a 3-moulinet attack, or get to 90/90 the slow way and save manafication for a 4-moulinet attack?

Assume the trash will survive either attack, I just want to know if there's a significant difference in dps.

just ot be clear here, regardless of this specific question, 100/100 lets you do an easy 5 moulinets:

- get to 100/100
- do two moulinets (now at 40/40 mana)
- shatter twice (~46/46)
- manafication (~90/90)
- moulinet three times

You can fish up a sea monster and then build an aquarium for your house and put the sea monster inside*. Or you can fish up an adorable turtle or chocobo or goldfish bucket to follow you around. Or stab fish with a spear and turn them into sand that you sell to crafters for a profit. Or hang out with an assassin who fishes as a hobby between jobs.

*(Only certain sea monsters may apply, Nepto Dragon is right out until they make an outdoor aquarium sized to fit a whale)

I have not seen a party wipe on Ramuh normal in a very long time, let alone give up. I'm impressed!

The orbs grant a stacking buff. One or two stacks give you electric resistance for 10 seconds. Three will also give you a very long duration debuff that makes eating more orbs bad for you. The total number of orbs on the field also affects Ramuh's damage output: more orbs, more damage.

In a nutshell the party has to manage orbs such that the tanks have enough to survive bearddad's hellacious bugzapper attacks while not letting too many pile up. Later in the fight when tethers go out, one out the tethered people needs to eat three orbs within 10 seconds to end the tether, as well.

In short the fight is big on coordination and thus the ex version of Ramuh is still one of the game's tougher fights at min ilvl simply because fuckups are easy and get punished hard.

On which difficulty? On hard if you get tethered one of the people in the tether needs to pick up three of them.

On extreme tanks need them to not die.

On extreme unsync you don't pick them up on purpose so you can blackest night into sick slams and jams.

It was on Hard, I guess the tether was slowly mulching through the group since no one picked the orbs up. A summoner friend helped me duo it without much effort so it's all taken care of.

Boss fight music was pretty good though
