Neo-Dynamis Changes

[Esvedium]

We got a r/ex item from a satellite h2h, popped the Attestation NM and killed him fairly easily with 7. We went 1/3 on r/ex items from the satellite mobs, too, so hopefully they're fairly common.

Also, all of the NM's that we killed dropped their respective job's AF gear, for what that's worth. 4/4, iirc.

The updates to dyna make it fun again, for me. I only have RDM body left to get out of the "sometimes there are useful" pieces, but I think that even after getting that, I'll do dyna from time to time, just for shits and lols. It really was a lot of fun, and a chance to play on RDM and be somewhat useful, as opposed to Abyssea. :D

Is the palace in Jeuno full of mobs or is it empty?

We had a bit of trouble juggling respawns at one point in Jeuno...no one else was there but us and it was just a bit too fast. If you make a bad pull, it's never ending because things will just keep respawning.

[Alkimi]

Also, Jeuno is a midly annoying zone. So many mobs in such a small area (particularly around the palace where most of the ??? are). There's not really a safe place to fight anything where mages can keep a good distance, and the respawns are really quick.

Popped an NM with Odious grenade, was a WHM/THF, used Perfect Dodge many many many times. Judging by how much HP Goblin dice restored I'd say ~80k HP. Casts Holy II, Banishga III etc. Somehow triggered a weakness and from then on it went apeshit gaining a significant att/def/eva boost.

Although this may have been triggered by lowering it's HP below 75%, can't be sure.

If you're interested TE statues:

3x10 min extensions around the 'outside' area (2 on the square route around the upper floor and 1 near the AH)
2x15 min extensions inside the palace. One on each floor.

Did a BST duo in Xarc before JP midnight,Got MNK,WAR,NIN,RDM and 3 currency. Ater JP Midnight I went in to basty solo and got RDM,COR,BLM,BRD and one currency

Drop rates on gear isn't too bad but they really nerfed the currency drop rate. Didn't try any NMs.

They make it similar to Empyrean. You need 200 * 100 coins from NMs. I bet in few weeks with good strategy a solid group of 6 will be able to get like 3x100 minimum in those 2h farming NMs.

[Mojo]

I was able to dual box zones BLM + THF pre update and get 400-600 currency per run, so really unless there is some crazy trick then it really is a huge currency nerf.

Well if you got 600 per run, and an average group could get 2-3 100s per run now, except do dynamis 3x faster, then the increase in currency would be huge.

[Malacite]

I dunno, hearing of a lot of 100 drops. We got one to drop from just a regular NM with no TH or procs just messing around in Jeuno exploring.

So they only nerfed singles?

If NMs really are dropping 100's in droves than this is pure win...

[Cesaria]

Got a double single-currency drop off a VT RDM up where the gigas and trees and dark ele is in normal zone Xarc... perhaps higher level mobs have greater currency drop rate?

[Mojo]

Well if you got 600 per run, and an average group could get 2-3 100s per run now, except do dynamis 3x faster, then the increase in currency would be huge.

That group of 6 people could also have just split up into two man teams and gotten 400-600 in town zones before for 1200-1800. Also it's not 3x faster. If you're farming currency, you're in there for 2 hours. At what we've seen, a two man group would be lucky to get 1-2 100s (the NMs that drop them have respawn times, bad drop rates, etc.) So really, over the course of 3 days, a BLM + THF combo would maybe get the same amount of currency. It's not 1/3 the time either. If you're in there for currency, you're in there for 2 hours per day. So you end up investing roughly twice the amount of time for maybe the same but probably less currency.

Did you proc any weakness?

[Atomic Skull]

Except that this is likely to result in just the opposite. WTF @ some of these changes, why did they have to go and Abyssify Dynamis?

Because people bawwed about it for 8 straight years and they finally said "You know what, fuck it, we'll change Dynamis for you"

This seriously has a "let's see how you like THIS!" feel to it.

Of course what SE fails to understand is that the relics aren't actually WORTH that amount of effort.

600 avg is bullshit. I made like 5 dyna last 2 months and with THF TH every mob we once got 550 and other 4 was below 400 and once even below 300. I am also sure that I killed more mob then you on thf + blm

[Malacite]

Fucking this.

Though the recent Aegis Buff is rather beastly and makes it worth it for NMs that use a lot of magic I suppose. Otherwise yeah...

Hey, now, Mjollnir is still good!

Just popped Angra Mainyu with a Leering Bijou that dropped off of random mobs and NMs for us in Dynamis - Beaucidine.

First attempt we went going in blind. ??? located at Fei'Yin. Popped and Angra Mainyu spawned along with his four dragons. As, we were not prepared we soon wiped, as we did not have a plan for the dragons.

For the second try, after assessing the situation, we figured to do the ol' pop and kite the dragons and some one voke off the eye. This plan worked well, and the popper kited the dragons in a large circle in the Fei'Yin area while we beat on Angra Mainyu. All, was going well--normal annoying teleports and such.. Until it dropped below 25% and spammed Death on the whole alliance of 8 people and those who re-raised, thus wiping us once again. It wound up depopping at 8%. Looks like you just gotta go all out at 25%, but unsure if it will teleport again.

We also received a Odious Talisman off of a random Hydra. No idea what it is used for.

[Malacite]

That reminds me, what's the conensus on Twashtar vs Mandau since Rudra's basically sucks ass without SA or TA behind it.

[Zag]

We still do not know yet if 100's can drop off all NMs at a very high drop rate doing a certain proc !! stagger. Dynamis Lord also might drop x3, 100 currency now as well, (100 byne, Jadeshell,M.Silverpeice) with a certain stagger proc. Its too early to see if dynamis was nerfed or buffed.

There can still be tricks to the 100s dropping like crazy in exchange for singles being incredibly nerfed.
Only relics I see worth it these days are Yoichi and Aegis.

Aegis buff and yoichi because it can be used by SAM but not the empyrean bow.

They should have kept the currency drop rate exactly the same as it was but lowered the time of entering dynamis like it is now. Relic timesink isn't worth it at all.
