Random Question Thread XVII: Toy Surprise Inside!

[Cream Soda]

Atmas for war?

[Fievel]

Why do you sj nin then if you never use Utsu?

grellow proc!

[Gun-it]

Getting close to WoE GKT for fudo should i be gearing it like relic for more att/str mix or like gekko with just str? guess more outside of abyssea since attack should be capped or close inside abyssea

[Guitarman]

Wiki still fails.

9/9 card of ardor. What's the best thing to farm for tantra body seals?

t2 vnm in grauberg.

[Cream Soda]

Is the t2 to t3 conversion rate shitty, so can spam 2 a few times before having to do t1 again?

[fredjanx]

Can you brew/CS blizzard4 nuke rani down?

If you have Aeolian Edge, use it.

so-so. get yourself a co-tank though. she hits hard, fast, and double attacks nonstop. i got all 10 in little over an hour of spamming her (all grellowd).

af3+2, ares, or hachiryu legs for raging rush?

[Greatguardian]

Ni nukes for Grellow proc, lazy-ass sneak/invis, oh-shit Utsu for when/if I'm about to eat a T5 nuke at low HP. Generally, I plain don't sub Nin. Mnk/War blows it away. If your gear and atmas can handle it, even Mnk/Sam is pretty damn nice. Mnk/Nin is fine as a utility sub but actually casting Utsu all the time completely negates the god-mode offensive and defensive buff that is Counterstance.

Any other options for RDM body seals, other than that shitty tiger in Uleguerand ? God, how I hate that thing. Accepting suggestions on where to get BLU, SCH & DNC body seals as well.
Wtf with getting +2 itens easier than +1 seals now ? (8/9 Stones of ardor before getting a single WAR body seal, 6/9 Cards of Ardor for SCH body).

Also, seconding that RDM .xml question, I tried to build one from scratch and failed miserably, tried to get a base one and modify it, but still wouldnt work =(

Whats the absolute best WS gear for Ascentic's Fury and Victory Smite.

I can get any gear possible except for AV rings and Moogle fail-addon head.

Pretty sure it'd be...

Verethragna/-/-/Tantra
Tantra+2/Gorget/Brutal/Kemas
Tantra+2/Heafoc/Rajas/Epona
Aethling/Thunder/Hachiryu/Tantra+2

...but I could be wrong.

[Heslon]

can the Seed Crystal from the mission melee or will it only use tp moves and magic? could it be duod @90? maybe rdm/nin+smn?

[Obsidian]

Dunno what Smite is but Ascetic's would need a Fire/Light belt I think.

EDIT: The crystal doesn't melee, it just does magic damage every X seconds. No idea if it wipes shadows, I always did it PLD/RDM. I doubt a RDM would be able to hold hate over the SMN, and I sort of doubt you could do enough damage to kill it in 30 minutes with only one SMN damage source. At this point thought the clones shouldn't be a problem.

Anyone know if the set augment effect of THF AF3+2 can stack with Mandau's x3 dmg proc?

[blue]

Sorry brainfart but does dual wield reduction count towards the haste cap of sorts?

[EternalSnow]

How exactly did you do the fight? I went in as rdm and my friend monk and it did gravity horn for 4k+ T_T

[Esvedium]

Yes

WAR's stacks, so it'd be safe to assume that it does.
