Looking to build this dagger for THF mule:

If anyone has kept track of where/what they killed for each trial that'd be great. 250 golem at first glance looks terrible...

Yeah, we normally have NIN+WHM+RDM but today something occured so we had to have him warrior for staggers as we where farming glavoid pops. Just decided to pop it and see how it goes.

Ended up having two lamentors aswell when we started fighting which didn't help lol very annoying pull! Now I know the adds are weak I will focus those down personally as I am the RDM xD Cheers for the heads up.

Did this pre 5/kill patch up to golems, camp I used then (Camp I'd use now)

Uleg > Vunk > Terrigan (Grau/Vunk) > Tree (Grau/Tree) > 2/3 cards synced to 10 (Ro'Maeve) > Reef, Mire(Mire) > Terrigan (Vunk-Bugards, Grau-Wivre if no weather coming to vunk) > 5/kill patch hits, Golems in Ro'Maeve (4 each wing of moon, 1 can be /ra'd from the bridge near the fountain) > Vunk-Tigers

Excluding rose strap, what's my best 5hit on war/sam w/ 504 delay gax?

Atm I have these STP options available to me


Aurum cuirass, goading belt, tactical mantle, hoard ring, Rajas, white tathlum, chiv chain, brutal which is 20 on the dot, but is there a better config I could use that I'm overlooking? I'm like 10 ranks behind in campaign, so rose strap is absolutely not ever going to be an option.

[Neisan]

Eat carbonara or use a STP atma and forgettabout it? Attila's over Chiv but that's pretty minor Tbh.

Can a nin and rdm duo resheph?

Also, what's the best non-relic/mythic/empyrean gk to use?

Bump. Just came back and Id also like to know.

[Neisan]

Probably TP Bonus Magian Path if not making WoE GK (I know says non Empyrean but it's mostly soloable/lowmannable given time).

WHM for each DD you bring, just like the rest of Abyssea. Cure spam on the DD, @ low % use a doom screen.

I started that dagger for my mule too. Killed about 100 aura stats on nexu loop (wasnt very efficient) and then I gave up going to sky because I always seemed to log on on lightsday. Then Heroes arrived and I keep meaning to go to abyssea-uleguerand and finish this bitch of a trial. I pretty much followed Radec's list up to the golem trial.

1.5 whm, brd, 3 DD worked fine for us. It is easy going down to 30% or so, then he spams like crazy. On our win we ended up holding him at 35% till he put his wings down, then popped fools and doom screen and killed it. On our initial tries he was too spammy below 25-30%ish to do any damage because we dropped him too low while he still had his wings up.

Does percy draw in anyone on the hate list, or just ppl in pt? was wondering if i could just heal from outside pt

[Neisan]

Alliance draw in if I remember, won't draw in people outside the alliance that has hate.

There any plug in or external program that let's you know when debuffs wear? hard to keep track when dual boxing.

[Gwynplaine]

I kinda wanna do that one quest for the repeat Odin title, can Odin Prime be easily lowmanned now (like besides a drk zerging)? Im talkin one or two people.

You could probably use one of those response type programs, that people use for stunning, just have it pick up the "debuff wears off" message and relay it to chat pt or something. Idk any off the top of my head, though, and they're kind of iffy in morality.

Best THF TP set?

[noodles355]

Lamprey is easier than Shoggoth, just learn the pin spots (one at E10, one northish by the fork). And ya, that's how to do Shoggy.

For PDT/MDT, I have a "PDEFNeeded" or "MDEFNeeded" variable which is set to 1 in a macro which also executes Meteor (a "dummy" spell which I tell Spellcast not to process any gear for); Spellcast will abort the changes associated with a previous spell when another is cast.

The macro looks like

/console sc var set PDEFNeeded 1
/ma "Meteor" <t>
/echo PDEF equipped!

And then in SC

<if advanced='$PDEFNeeded == 1'>
 <equip when="precast" set="PDEF" />
<var cmd="set PDEFNeeded 0" />
            </if>

Hmm good idea with using a dummy spell. Would it work to just macro a dummy spell and have the rule for that spell be equipping PDT or MDT set during precast|midcast|aftercast? If so will that aftercast rule for meteor overwrite the generic:
<elseif status="Idle">
<action type="equip" when="Idle|Aftercast" set="Standard" />
</elseif>
that I have at the start of my rules?

Also for Lamp Lord, are there good places to pin him in both gusta and pash? and what about running him there originally without movement+?
