Duo JoFaith

[Yodz]

Hi

I am thinking of duoing JoFaith (RDM/NIN x2), and just wanted to clarify a few things.

1. As it is weak to wind, will Gravity last throughout the fight without resists? Or will it still build resistance like most other NM’s?
2. Does AMII bypass shadows? I was told by someone it did, although most people I asked ingame said it doesn’t – wanted to double check.

Thanks

1. I know it definitly builds resists.
2. No AM II is stopped by blink/utsusemi.

Fixed, because the comma changes the entire meaning of #2.

Fuck, thanks. (if you see what I did there)

If Gravity is likely to be resisted after a while, maybe its better to use Bind and only Grav when needed.

Work a crack at duoing still?

[Pergo]

maybe 2 blu/nin? i heard headbutt can stun it with some decent accuracy

Was able to trio it down to 60% with RDM/NIN PLD/NIN and MNK/WHM - the problem, and what eventually wiped us, was breakga going off (Which will happen). Most the time if I saw breakga I could use sentinel (I was the PLD) and then just live off him hitting me if need be until stone wore off. He hits like a truck, so bouncing hate is important, but you can't do much bouncing when someone is stoned XD

Would recomend bringing a WHM with you, then it's a fairly easy trio~

With WHM out of your duo on his own is advisable

This game need's golden needles.

2 rdm\nins out of party can easily keep it at the porter i bet, ala ix'drg

I've been meaning to try trioing this with PLD/NIN RDM/??? and BLM/???. Since Euvhis are being wankers and only dropping HQ organs, I've got pop items to burn. I'll post here if I'm successful.

As two RDMs, you'd want w.legs each of course, and you would need to be 100% successful at bouncing hate. If your nukes fire at maximum casting distance it's a doddle to evade Breakga. If you fail to pull hate or you time it wrong, you kind of get owned. I'm hoping with the extra damage from a BLM it'll be a bit easier to pull off compared to the last time I tried; as PLD/NIN and RDM/NIN we only managed to get it to 80% before Gravity became useless.

All I have to lose is my organs.

Just get 4 BLM/NINs, RDM/BLM and WHM and kill it in 10m. BLMs can kite and bounce hate easily and Grav shouldn't be a problem since it will be dead asap.

Few questions :
-Is he still on a 15min moving ??? timer or was this updated?
-Does he resist temporal shift?

-Pretty sure it hasn't been changed
-I assume yes since it's supposedly a lightning based stun spell. I think it's immune to any stun.

??? moves every 30 minutes, repops 1 minute later.

Just FYI, if you are killing Faith at the telepad like you would Ix'drg, after 50% health it manafonts every time you engage it making it easy to nuke>tele up. It won't melee you with manafont up, and any of it's spells give you ample time to tele up aside from slowga.

It's actually pretty easy to duo. RDM/NIN (gravity/dot/nukes) & W.LEGS (PLD/NIN, RDM/NIN, or BLU/NIN)
... I suppose Gaiters would work for a WHM/NIN if no other options)

RDM uses gravity, but only when necessary. Basically, just make sure you're out of range whenever he casts anything. It's almost impossible not to be able to get out of range, 30 distance, on any spell (except Slowga).

He casts a lot! So even when he's catching up to your W.legs, the RDM just waits til your 2nd or 3rd blink goes down before they cast gravity. As long as you can keep it down to a minimum, gravity resist rates are very small.

All hate is kept by curing yourself and the other person, make sure your RDM sits inside the ring, so you can cure them at will. If it stops to cast Stone IV on you, or goes into 2hr mode and casts Quake II, this is where you can gain a lot of hate. I usually have my RDM use DoT, then nukes when convert is up, then I cure back their HP. RDM should never cure themselves.

Knowing who has hate is the most important factor in low-man Faith. Duo'd this a few times, Trio'd probably 50+ times (usually BLM/NIN or SMN/NIN as 3rd).

What does your sig mean exactly? All I can gather that it's saying is "Homam > Hauberk", but I don't get the math or the Metal Gear Solid image.
