100 gems got me Ninurta. Took it for a spin on the piggies and holy poo poo I love this thing.

And now I can pull off a quintuple burst with a RW. If I wanted to. I kinda do.

E: also is it only me just doing these fights with my A team and crushing everything? There a reason to use the synergy characters?

No reason to use synergy unless you have to or want to challenge yourself or something. I've been blowing them up with my A team as well.

I feel like a jackass. I joined a group with my Ramza and Faris, saw they already had a shout Ramza so I tried to switch to my SG Tyrone. The screen still showed Ramza so I said gently caress it since it was only the 90 difficulty fight. Fight loads and I have a naked Tyro. Whoops.

Then my game crashed.

I think my favorite part of the multiplayer experience so far has been seeing all the weird(to me) combinations of skill hones that some people have. Grouped with someone that had ten casts of meteor last night. I also got to see Neo Bahamut used for the first time.

Also one of my difficulty 90 runs had me grouped with a level 40 Ranger and level 20 Tellah :3:. A shame the leader DCed so I didn't get to see him fight.

I ended up with BSBs for Squall and Tyro. I already use Tyro in my party but he carries SG for me. At least it'll be more stats for me.

Now that I have OKs BSB what would be a good RW to carry? I've been taking Shout up until this point but there must be a better boostga to stack since doubling up on haste would be pointless.

Don't forget all the Dark Aeons and Monster Coliseum bosses!

I foolishly did a power of 3 pull on this FF8 banner because while my FF8 synergy is good I have nothing but Squall SBs pretty much. I ended up getting 3 5*s.

Does Chainsaw slow? The description just says it lowers poison resistance.

Wow yeah, OK is really bad. I'll definitely hold off on getting him until that's feasible because I don't think he'd be doing much of anything to help me in the meantime.

He's definitely worth working on/dumping eggs into. He's terribad up until 93 but once he hits 93 his stats go up to stupidly high numbers. And his BSB is absurdly good.

I just had an Apocalypse Gilgamesh battle kill Gilgamesh and get Enkidu down to 25%.... just to have a member disconnect and force the battle to end. Ugh.

flowinprose posted:

The problem any new player is going to have is getting onion motes to fill out his ability set. You can't get any from cid missions for leveling up OK any more, and as far as I know the only way to farm the motes currently is by repeatedly killing Mote Dungeon Ahriman which is no small feat for someone without much FF3 synergy. The motes will come back to be farmed in the enigma dungeons that reappear in the next FF3 event, I think, but that will be some time off.

Unless you are already clearing or near to clearing entire events, I'm not sure it would be worth it to invest in onion knight at this moment even if you have his gauntlets.

I totally forgot about Onion Motes. You're right.

That 250 Torment dungeon was rough but I managed to pull it off with a new team setup I was trying out.

Agrias - Blizzaga Strike, Life Siphon. Divine Ruination.
P Cecil - Gaia Cross, Life Siphon. Paladin Force
Tyro - Multi Break, Life Siphon. SG and Keeper's Tome
OK - Chain Firaga. Curaja. Vessel of Fate
Aerith - Curaja. Shellga. White Materia
RW: Aetherial Pulse

I loaded up everyone with SB builder record materia and mako might on OK. Swiftspell was MVP for alot of the trash waves. Cecil sat int he backrow with a bow and used Gaia's Cross to soak up all the single target physicals. The one downfall of this team is that it turns out the stupid fairy pigs are healed by holy.

If I had to do it again I'd give Aerith something other than Shellga or replace my RW with something else that gave regen. The Proshellga with heavy regen was really nice for the trash packs though. I think I had to heal once.

Also White Materia did way less damage than I expected even with the imperil holy from Divine Ruination.

My current party doesn't have enough healing even with a RW healing BSB, so I was thinking of leveling up one of my two white mage options.

Aethereal Pulse or Miracle Prayer.

Is the primary draw of AP not having to bring protect or shell, freeing up two ability slots?

Freeing up two slots is really handy, it also lets you get them both up in one action. Major Regen is also really nice for taking the edge off of damage.

Dear people in MP, no you cannot run two mages, especially not Vivi in the front row you dumb idiot. You don't have to blow your elemental BSB/OSB the moment you get a charge, we would all appreciate it if you waited until the mob's weakness phase.

Dear DENA, please add "Wall please!" "I'll cast Wall" stickers, it will save many tears and wasted soul breaks.

In the same vein: I brought OK with his burst. Wait until you have the buff before you blow your OSB on turn one.

Also the number of parties I joined tonight with every healer packing protectga was amazing. Doesn't anyone check what abilities everyone else is bringing? (I know the answer is no.)

I do need some advice, mind. I am thinking of pulling a fifth time on FF14. I got Alphinaud's BSB, all of Y'shtola's except her BSB and Papalymo's SSB. I KINDA want Y'shtola's BSB. I've got about 120 Mithril or something, and I'm thinking of saving for one pull on that shot for Raines' BSB and one or two for TG Cid.

If you've got everything except two items I wouldn't do it. Chasing a single item on a banner full of dupes is a recipe for tears.

Just how good is the Orlandu banner coming up? My FFt synergy is pretty solid overall but if it's really ridiculous I may pull. I also want to pull on the summoner nightmare later this month because my caster attack SBs are lacking but my 9, 10 and 13 synergy also kind of suck.

I'm having a tough time with that banner, too. Orlandu is badass and feels like a step up on the power curve for damage-dealers, but I've also got Agrias's BSB, Plat Sword, another sword, and a generic robe/rod/dagger for synergy in a realm that isn't particularly common or useful to have synergy in.

I'd say it depends on how much generic utility you'd get out of the non-Orlandu items. Agrias's BSB and Kaiser Shield are great SBs, for example, if you don't already have something like them.

I may end up doing just a dollar pull then even though FFT is my favorite game. :(

The only thing on the banner other than Orlandu is maybe the Mythril gun. I've already got Agrias's BSB and Cleansing Strike plus the healing staff. I've got 3 swords, 2 daggers, 2 staves, a rod, 2 heavy armors, a shield, bracer and robe. I'm pretty set.
