Random Question Thread XXVII: Okay this roman numerals bullshit is getting ridiculous

[Trix]

Is magic proc in dynamis slower than ja? I'm trying to optimize the route a drk/dnc and my mnk/dnc take, so being able to stay at a camp longer would be nice.

[Byrthnoth]

It's dramatically worse than JA.

[Eurell]

From what I've seen, SMN blood pacts can proc magic very very quickly, but you would never want to farm on SMN anyway, so yeah, magic procs suck.

[Terravcota]

Or you can use Banish to remove the damage resistance. :s

Easymode Feuerunke:

-Pop
-Banish III
-Divine Emblem Holy II if you really want to (not needed, but won't hurt anything and your WHM is probably going to be bored anyway)
-Repeat Banish III if you take more than 45 seconds to get it to 80%
-Make it dead

It's undead, Banish works on its damage resistance same as most any other undead mob.

Thank you! Glad to hear it's not something special for that VNM. =X That should make it go a lot faster.

[Ihina]

Will give it a go.

Orison head+2, is it cure spell casting time or really cura? JP says cure apparently etc, BGWIKI still not corrected for truth.

It seems like it applies to all cure spells, not just cura.

Take it for what it's worth, since I don't have some screen recording program and didn't go through it frame by frame.

[TheDangerousDave]

Hmm I really wanna know.... it's like 2 years old and noone bothered to test something so important?

[Omnipotent]

Bunch of lazy assholes we have here!!!

[TheDangerousDave]

Not even talking about BG, what about the JPs? Or as it says cure on their's maybe they didn't need to bother.

Also Winged Wand fast cast value, does anyone know?

[dasva]

Then why not do it yourself...? Others probably did but didn't report something that easy to see

[TheDangerousDave]

I don't have Clerics hat+2 or I would, I hope that answers your question.

[sluggo]

What is the new fangled way of getting gil from cruror ive been hearing about.

[TheDangerousDave]

It's not new and if people keep spreading the news it will get nerfed lol

Starting to farm Briareus. I'm 2boxing using mule with whm and main ninja while farming pops and then switching to thf for fight. Would it be more efficient to farm gold boxes for this one or even not bother switching to thf? I did 3 pops today so far and all had TH8+ and 2/3 dropped 1 helm. Trust, I know TH matters but would even using whm w/Tarutaru sash TH be good enough so I wouldn't waste time changing jobs?

Gold chest aren't worth it. Build some amber if you can/want to, but those chest would be rare bonuses.

Bring your WHM/THF for TH2+sash and leave your NIN /WAR for procs.

The fastest way is to buy pops, pop Briarx2, warp and repeat.

That's what I was thinking too. I was wondering though, for both Briareus and Sobek, is having a stun even important at this point?

Assuming you've fought the mobs and spent time in Abyssea (since you said you have), why would you need stun for it?

There are very few incidences in abyssea where stun is anything more than a luxury since you have 2.5k~~ hp and effectively unlimited mp to spam cures

That's really it, just for the luxury, or safety net if you will.

[Fake]

That's really it, just for the luxury, or safety net if you will.

If you still need the safety net in abyssea 14 levels after everything was duoable (without considerable difficulty sans 1 or 2 NMs) then sure bring stun, if you don't suck there aren't many times its worth bringing over a form of TH.

[Nightfyre]

Stunning Briareus is laughable. Stunning Sobek can be convenient, but isn't really needed.

[Francisco]

Is there any gear or food that gives (a worthwhile) resistance to Terror, in particular Absolute Terror?

Edit: Monk usable.
