Does Phalanx have a cap?

[ssjjfar]

For magian hq elemental staffs, do you need to have it equipped precast in order for the -12% spellcasting time to take into affect, or can you have it in there a little late?

[Yugl]

Precast.

Which mob is easier to skill up in abyssea? I look for low evasion mob, going skill up on staff (196 atm) as blm 90.

If you have 3 good regen atmas, can just slap them on then AFK whacking some crabs. Pick a zone of your liking. I found Mis to be less crowded near the bridge, but sometimes people -aga/cleave pull or just train. Only threat is the amoeban HP aggroing, but that's largely a non-issue if you can pull with a ranged attack or just ghetto pull with high HP.

Turul duoable by dd and a whm?

Turul duoable by dd and a whm?

Easy. WHM/blm to stun Thunder IV/V (so he wont get spikes) and its very easy. You can also go whm/whatever and use evasion tanking and if he put spikes on just tp on some mobs and ws Turul (that might be the problem if some ppl will try to steal tho).

[Shenrien]

(that might be the problem if some ppl will try to steal tho).

WHM does last action on Turul, giving the DD the option to change mobs without Turul going white, tabbing targets for WS wont cause the mob to change from red to white iirc.

good site plug in the delay STP merits/triats

STP in TP depends on what your WS in tho too.

[Shenrien]

good set up for Myrmecoleon?

MNK, WHM, THF would work great, but just about any job /nin can handle fighting him, I suggest bring a third wheel along for handling any adds that aggro you while fighting it, and when any minis spawn.

Gravity horn is the only thing to kind of fear, hit me lastnight for 4k with the mob at 6% was so shitty, but previous hits were for like 1.9 - 2.6, not sure if shell or protect helps any but never hurts!

:D if you want some help and I'm not to busy shoot me a tell I like fighting him.

[Gun-it]

ok thanks, wiki had like no info on him. and i might take you up on that offer.

[Rikura]

For Alexander and Odin Prime quests:

Can they be trio'd at 90? Job combos can be

Me: SAM (85 Amano), MNK (85 Verethragna)
2nd DD: MNK (Verethragna), SAM, WAR
3rd: WHM, RDM, BRD

Thanks! I don't know much about the fights since I came back 2 months ago and the testimonials from wiki are all from early-mid 2010.

Edit: I can box a BRD, too. Doable?!

[Lyramion]

With 2 Sams doing a Med orgy to 2hr both mobs should faint before the fight rly started. BRD 2h is a plus of course.
