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

[Kalmado]

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.

That's right. I forgot everyone was duoing everything at 85 and never wiped once. My bad.

@Nightfyre
I haven't done Briareus in quite awhile and yeah I don't see stun being a need really. I was concerned with Sobek, but I suppose cure spam+temps should make everything ok. Thanks for the comments.

[Guitarman]

Stun is worth it for sobek's tyrant tusk if you're dualboxing.

[Martel]

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

Edit: Monk usable.

I think the only thing in the game that gives terror specific resistance is Sagasinger/talekeeper. So on MNK you're pretty much screwed.

Just keep hp decently high and you'll be fine. Dual boxed plenty with thf + whm/rdm lol

So, any one know what Savant's Gown +2 does yet?

How do the neo-limbus KI/chips work? If I bring 6 players to cs apollyon II on my metal chip for example, do all 6 players get the KI? If so, does that mean each player can buy a Crepuscular Chip for 6 total arch-omega pops? Can players that have never touched cs apollyon ii join an arch-omega run?

[Yugl]

You need one metal chip per alliance entering CSII. Each participant receives a KI upon completion. You may use the KI + Ancient Beast Coins to obtain the chip to enter Omega II. You do not need the KI to enter Omega II. You only need the KI to buy the pop item to enter CS II.

Nothing worthwhile, that's for sure. If the enmity effects were decent, tests would have showed it.

[fantasticdan]

For solo sobek, I rarely bothered to attempt to stun tusk. As a 99 hume blu/nin with 7 hp merits, all the hp/mp abyssites, and sanguine scythe, tusk never killed me once, and that's 70 skins or so worth of kills. As long as you stun spells, keep your hp up, and erase bio, it's just not an issue.

The only times I ever came close to dying were when I got petrified. Turning on reaction to the TP flash to avoid the gaze wasn't reliable for me, so I just started facing backwards when I knew he had TP, and pivoting back and forth to melee. Tedious, but it works.

[scaevola]

Yeah, after soloing a bunch of Sobeks a 99 DNC, I think stunning Blizzaga is way more important than stunning Tyrant Tusk. Tusk won't kill you at 99 unless you're already missing a fair bit of HP, and that's only going to happen if you eat a Blizzaga.

[Guitarman]

Any estimates what the threshold is? I know I've been above 75% and gotten insta killed by it just recently. TT is the only thing holding me back from whipping out an almace.

To add to the thread: best shoes for a blm? just af3 feet?

[fantasticdan]

What is your max hp with SS? IIRC, I had around 2.8-3k depending on the zone buff. I got hit with it with as low as 2.2k current hp or so and never died.

[Omnipotent]

You must be Taru, because I'm over 3k most of the time without SS even active and I'm hume.

[Taim Meich]

What's a decent way to model the Mythic OA 2-3? Specifically for a H2H Mythic, which IIRC means it only procs on the first hand. I know there was some discussion about it recently, but I can't find it.

nope. Hume 99 blu/nin with 7 hp merits is 1408 base hp (you get a bit more with spells, but I had final sting set which is -20 hp, so it was a wash). That's only 2534 hp with max abyssites/cruor buff before taking zone buff/atma into account.

[Kalmado]

I have 5/6 abyssites of merit(missing k. highland fame one), use SS, and usually hover just over 3k hp. I wouldn't oppose eating hp food if it would help, but I'm sure that's just overdoing it. I've fought Sobek once since 99 and I remember eating a few TT's and not dying. I'll just give it a go when I get done with helms w/out a stun and we'll see. Briareus can eat a dick for now though. 4/5 kills last night was 1 helm with TH2.

[Kalmado]

Can anyone tell me why I never see /say chat? I was told it's because I 2box and it's a random error. Truth?

Also, can I 2box Kirin using 2xBst?

[Kurp]

Best gil/voidstone NMs? Still just spam Pil/Kaggen/Kirin or do others have a higher HMP rate. I understand the ease of the mentioned NMs compared to the newer ones, just wondering if Bismarck, etc have higher drop rates.

[Omnipotent]

You can solo Kirin as BST. Just bring 20ish Dawn Mulsums for your first time and use Falcor. Two BST should wreck it, bring Poison Pots or a HP tick armor piece.

Also, Does another relic have to be on the same trial in order to help me with kill shots? Or can any same relic help out.
