Geomancer's problem is that it doesn't contribute much late game. Gaia is really too unreliable in most places to be any good, and bells are just lovely weapons all around. In addition, Geomancer doesn't really get anything that can mitigate Chicken Knife's Flee chance, and it's not like it has good physical attack power. In the end Geomancer usually just ends up being a second Summoner/mage rather than being able to stand on its own abilities. The only really unique thing I've ever been able to do with Geomancer was in one run when I had it and Berserker, I got a Rune Chime randomly so I gave it Equip Axes and it was a pretty good physical attacker with the Rune Bell. Still inferior to what most other classes can do but it was pretty fun.

When I get some free time I'll give Kyrosiris my twitter handle, as stated in the OP. I'm really glad that has been looked at, as twitter's sudden change really screwed thing up for a lot of people last year. Or maybe just for me. It wasn't just you, I had to have Kyrosis tweet at RK to have Gilgabot follow me last year, because none of my tweets to either of them were going through and it would've caused me to end on an incomplete run. Poque posted:what was everybody's favorite party last summer? Most of my parties last year were pretty same-y since I got Summoner for 3/4 of them, hell two of my parties were identical outside of one job (White Mage/Summoner/Geomancer/Dragoon was my first run, White Mage/Summoner/Ninja/Dragoon was my third, though I ended up Job Fairing for a Chemist on that one). In the end I guess my favorite was Blue Mage/Summoner/Geomancer/Beastmaster because I'd never used Beastmaster before and it was pretty fun.

On a run in my first Fiesta, I ended up killing Omega by doing the Poison Rod/Quick trick. That was a pretty long wait as well.

It should also be noted that due to Omega's inherent Reflect, you can't target him directly with the rod, you have to have Reflect set up on one of your characters and bounce it onto him.

Dr Pepper posted:Brave Blade isn't actually particularly tedious, especially since if you're doing one you have Knight, which can pretty easily shred 90% of Random Encounters. My very first Fiesta I went for the Brave Blade for the first time since I've played FFV, and two handed full power Brave Blade is pretty nice. Though admittedly it is a bit tedious having to fight every encounter, I wouldn't do it again unless I had a class setup that absolutely couldn't use Chicken Knife at all.

KataraniSword posted:It turns into a bit of a slog in Exdeath's Castle where you have the loving dragons constantly having way too much HP, and then the Rift is utterly unbearable. The Rift isn't too bad if you pulled Mystic Knight like I did since almost everything there is vulnerable to Break blade.

ultrafilter posted:I'm surprised that the Black Mage is more expensive than the Blue Mage. Maybe it's just my playstyle, but I would've though that status effects are a lot more valuable than raw damage. My favorite is Beastmaster being a dollar and Geomancer being 2, solely because RK hates Beastmaster despite it being a better job than Geomancer by far.

Kyrosiris posted:Chemist neutralizes literally every ability he uses aside from Wave Cannon, which you top up with X-Potions. That still doesn't trivialize Omega since it can still wipe your party before you get all the necessary buffs up, and this can be especially difficult if you don't catch it on a preemptive strike.

So out of curiosity which is the worse party to get on a Classic run, four White Mages or four Monks? I feel like the answer is "Obviously four Monks" but maybe there's something I'm forgetting, like some late game boss that absorbs Holy or something which would make four White Mages much more of a pain.

DD is apparently going to do all the grinding he needs to beat the final boss in world 1, so he'll be behind for a while. Doesn't he not even really need to grind? I mean Monk gets HP+30%, that should be plenty to keep the other classes safe from Almagest right?

Nihilarian posted:Are those Mini Dragons Dragondarch is grinding on worth the two Thunder Rods he has to break to beat each group? They're apparently the best source of experience outside of stuff like the Shield Dragon which they don't have the classes to beat. He does go grinding on Wild Nakks for money to buy more rods though (even though the Black Flames give more money).

To be fair the logic is probably that the Nakks are faster and easier to kill for that party even if Black Flames technically give more money.

eLmaGus got the Killer Bow proc on the Dragon Pod which saved him a ton of time, yeah. DD also mentioned that if you have Beastmaster you can catch Aquathorne and release it against Dragon Pod for a chance at an instant kill, I found this pretty funny considering that someone got banned last year from his chat for telling him to use that strategy against the crystals.

How about other elemental boost equipment, like Gaia's Gear and Magus Rod? Dual wielding rods does boost the broken rod, I believe.

Magus making a big mistake trying to berserk Omniscient without a way to deal with his brutal physicals. He'd be much better off just giving his Red Mage the Reflect Ring he got. EDIT: oh well never mind, Omniscient was doing 0 HP damage to him by the end of the fight, was only half paying attention so not sure how that happened. E2: vvv Ah that makes sense, didn't know Omniscient was vulnerable to old. Neat. Twelve by Pies fucked around with this message at 00:55 on Jun 22, 2015 |

ultrafilter posted:Is "there" somewhere other than the top of Istory Falls? There's a small indent in the Great Sea Trench you can walk into that recharges the lamp, so most of them have been grinding there. And DD decided to do Istory Falls before the Trench, and the funny part is Magus is at the Falls too, so people are going to think DD has caught up when in reality he's a dungeon behind.
