Random Question Thread XVIII: Just an Ordinary Sword of Legend

[Foldypaws]

Herculean Slash: Beyond, Ultimate, Baying Moon. Should be pretty easy.

Beyond Ultimate Hell's Guardian is better, but harder to get, yes.

[Koyangi]

What's safest job combo to lowman Amhuluk, anything especially dangerous to look out for?
For a duo, both of us have jobs listed in sig minus PLD (inb4 lolPLD). We have practically all the best cookie cutter atmas except Beyond -.-
Thanks for any advice.

5/6 Merit abyssites, might be going after Xilbalba relativley soon, and 4/4 Furtherance.

Any half decent melee + WHM can duo it fine. Then it's just a question of bringing yellow triggers.

[Yugl]

THF/MNK/NIN (Depending on how good your EVAs/Counter set is) + WHM. MNK is superior because of damage potential and the ability to melee in MDT gear during the long casts. I would use a 4 man set up though because of yellow.

BLU/BLM + WHM/RDM + BLM/BRD + MNK/NIN or THF/NIN

The BLU comes sub BLM in case it's 1000 Needles.

Easiest way to do Feuerunke? Friend needs it and has to be on BRD or DNC. I know I can pin it but would like to do it more than once an hour.

[Aihree]

You've answered your own question. The easiest way to do it is to pin it. Just set aside an afternoon and pull it every time it pops.

[Massimo]

Bring a WHM and Retaliation it down. 2~3 Ukko's usually killed it, so a few more Raging Rush's should do.

Best non-Hi katana to mainhand on NIN?

Looking at tossing together a WSD one real quick before I start working on Hi, but not sure if there's something better/easier.

STR Sekka +2 should be tops barring situations where you're capped pDIF at all times.

dnc can solo with some luck. stand tank and keep stutter step and fan dance up. has crappy accuracy to high eva characters (thf nin dnc). i'm doing it pin-method atm on thf and it hasn't broken my shadows yet.

[Deader2818]

We got it, DNC just uses Edge for dmg till 2hr then unloads so i dont pull hate.

[Ricekid]

what is the general consensus for BLU merits right now? TY!

[Yugl]

T1: BA + CA (At least as long as Abyssea lasts)
T2: Assimilation + ???

Enchainment
Pro: Utility derived in most instances.
Con: Efflux reduces the utility somewhat

Diffusion
Pro: The effect itself
Con: Most buffs wear off before diffusion is ready again

Convergence
Pro: Helps BLU's nukes which seems to be the primary source of damage on HNMs
Con: It's limited in use because it cannot be used for AOE burns and the recast makes it's utility less than advertised; furthermore, the situations you would be able to play main nuker on HNMs are ones in which you don't tank or melee

Convergence and Enchainment are the only serious ones in my book. I have enchainment because I'm usually meleeing/tanking when on BLU (Usually for yellow, but being able to tank and melee cuts the number of members needed).

Any chance that Zhayolm Remnants 5th floor Poroggo will pop with fewer than 3 people fully unlocked, if there aren't three people in zone?

I'd like to solo the zone up through the NM without having to drag any extra people in just to pop it.

[Cream Soda]

idk for sure, but I'd assume no. The game will assume 3 ppl are in since you're tricking it to think there is when you have 2 force d/c.

What are the best easy to get non trial katanas for NIN?
I just powered it 60-80 and need some weapons to use to finish out my exp, skill up, and get trials done with.

AH is totally empty of 60+ katanas on my server : (

Go kill sobek and Sedna.

to the guy who posted after me, I'd think Sedna's drop is better than Kogara, but Kogara is easier to get. Oirandori is *not* easy to get, the goblin is annoying.

[Darkmagi]

Hochomasamune, Kamome, Kogara, and Oirandori. Kamome is the staple offhand katana in abyssea and is 100% drop off of sobek. The others should be easily obtainable(Kogara is probably the easiest of them to obtain if just looking for a temporary katana).
Edit: fake relic works as well but I'm too lazy to look up what drops it.

[Tanag]

Thanks, Ill check them out!

Confirming that soloing and fully-unlocking one person will not meet the requirements.

[Eleven19]

Need confirmation on relic augments (Edit: In Dynamis) regarding getting credit when dead/alive, out of XP range. I remember it being dead = okay, out of range = not okay. That how they work?
