That's because the Matrix version is garbage. Also who fights random encounters?

They're also good as a !Throw chassis for all the scrolls your actual ninja sucks balls at using. Not as good as a summoner or black mage (at least until Rune Chime, which is well after scrolls have lost their oomph), but unlike a summoner or black mage, they don't have Better, MP-Using Things they could be doing with their turns.

Technically for AoE damage, Black Mages never have anything that beats a thrown scroll, because the 185 power -aga spells get halved when multi-targeted to 92, which is less than the unmodified base of 120 for scrolls. Summoner's first spell that beats a scroll is the all-powerful Syldra.

Is it the M that gets cut in half, or the power? Also, Geos (especially with a magic skill backing them up) have some pretty great crowd clearers. Earthquake is common enough in several regions and my Geo with Gaia Gear was nearing 2k per enemy with it. Wind Slash isn't too far behind once Air Knives become available, and you can pull that basically everywhere. I'm in W2 Exdeath Castle and the only bosses I haven't been able to beat with !Gaia spam were Sandworm, Soul Cannon, the final phase of Clapperclaw, and the Crystals. !Summons will of course take over once Syldra-spam comes online, but that's still not bad.

A rod-boosted Flame Scroll is 120 + (120 / 2) = 120 + 60 = 180 final power (technically there's random skew as high as attack/8, but even with max skew for firaga and zero bonus skew for the flame scroll, it's 156 power vs 180 for the scroll) (scrolls are really loving good if you have a magic score)

Like I always say, the only real problem with a Geomancer is that you could've had a Bard.

I feel like the Phoenix Tower enemies get kind of overblown, honestly. Like sure, they've got a bunch of annoying status stuff, but by that point most parties either have enough firepower to burn them down before they get to do much or don't really have any business being in the tower in the first place. They're also surprisingly susceptible to status themselves (everything in there can be toaded, for instance).

I've never actually run out of elixirs because the start of the game has them drop from the Ship Graveyard and even the Wind Shrine. Tbh I also use them very sparingly until the last few fights but, FF5 is a kind game.

Got the no Esuna and only Titan/Ifrit clauses done! And killed Shinryu for fun. Pretty slow run, but fun for novelty! E: Forgot to get a Holy picture. Whoops! Got that sorted out. Galick fucked around with this message at 07:57 on Feb 6, 2021 |

Finished tonight as well. It was a slow start but I blew through basically everything else. Melusine Barrier Changed before I could finish nuking her with Fire Rods, and Bahamut caught me once out of hubris and bad !Dance luck, but the run was a very fun, swift breeze overall. !Gaia took care of 90% of random encounters and !Summon handled most of the rest. Most of the Cleft bosses didn't even get a chance to attack. Twintania went down before charging; I took 0 damage from Necrophobe. NED got only a single Almagest off, which Shell helped me survive; and a single wimpy Grand Cross (mini Krile was it) before going down. Didn't eat a single Meteor from either phase. It ended up being sub-20 hours total, which is pretty fast for me. Also, how do people not main White Mage with Krile?

I normally do, or Kittyzerker, but I was just kind of in a rush to get this one finished up and that's what I had them as when they mastered their jobs

I misread "no esuna, get holy" as "no spells but holy" and went with it anyway, while combining it with only mandatory summons. I wanted to combine that with the kill shot but I had one piece left and had to close it out asap. I also got Shinryu, which wasn't that difficult once I got used to how loving fast he is. I can probably get Omega too, don't really feel like rolling the dice on that yet.

White Mage is a close to a free Shinryu as Bard is a free Omega. Even moreso, with Summoner backup.

Ah but that isn't a White Mage- that's a just a Holy/Ifrit/Titan bot I mean unless you're also counting using lamp and Wonder Rod to mitigate berserk as a free win for Shinryu with that robot in which case egg on my face edit: or Mirage Vest bug TheWonderTrickster fucked around with this message at 06:37 on Feb 7, 2021 |

Seriously though, the toughest time I had was with a Shield Dragon the game just wouldn't let me run away from, when I hadn't even gotten a chance to power up the Chicken Kni.... . . . Son of a bitch!

I wasn't done. I broke the ifrit/titan/holy rule for Curaga and Shell, because I had beaten the game with it, and Omega would've taken like 5000 attempts without Shell blocking every single Encircle and Curaga recovering from Wave Cannon.
