LVL 90 Solos

[Chun Liroy]

Elvaan4lyfe. Always and forever.

[orson]

For solo definitely Tarutaru. Everything else probably Galka.

Damn, the Taru's pld is lowest of the 3, only 33 to the others' 70 and 75... guess its gonna take 1 day to get 90 instead of like 4 hours

[Skeelo]

If you have Ochain mp will never be a problem. so might as well go elvaan or galka.

Was thinking that, also the taru is the only of the 3 with whm leveled lol

[Atoreis]

If mob is using single element on nukes (for example Suzaku uses only fire) then resist set is always better then MDT. Perfect fire resist set makes you probably constantly resist Suzaku nukes for 1/16 dmg. Thats a lot less then 50% with MDT.

[Fievel]

Verethragna 50/50, 50/50, 0/50

quick derail I know, but you know you need 75 for the 3rd stage right?

This thread kinda makes me wanna do almace + ochain, I'd forgotten about life outside of abyssea.

Now do I do them on my Hume, Taru, or Elvaan? (which makes the best pld nowadays)

Why would Almace be a better solo item than Excalibur? Not sure I follow.

[Atoreis]

Why would Almace be a better solo item than Excalibur? Not sure I follow.

Because beside mobs with some very high def Almace will do more dmg?

WS will do much more then any other WS and Aftermath will do more then relic proc + add effect.

Ofc it would be best to have both swords and use Almace on medium low def mobs and Excalibur otherwise or on fights when you would need to sub /dnc and use TP for cures. I'm sure tho Almace would be use more times.

I've solo'd numerous "useless" nms.. My favorite so far was Hydra (wajaom woodlands one) since it took so many attempts to figgure out how to keep it from regening to 15% every time it got below 5%.... Bst can do anything now.. it seems.

[Titanss]

so abyssea made the rest of the content in the entire game fucking pointless?.. wow

[Mojo]

Not all of it. But most of it.

[Tsuko_Asura]

Still loads of fun to go out and do old content.

[gaira]

finally that feeling of offline rpgs when you're insanely overpowered for the competition, kinda.

[Titanss]

Not all of it. But most of it.

like what old is there left to do? and what old gear still matters? and do you get all the new best gear in abyssea?

hmm..
D.Ring
N.Hd still top tier WS piece for certain jobs?
W.Lg
BB items

I think thats all?

[Byrthnoth]

Rajas Ring, Brutal, Suppa, Aesir Ear Pendant, Rose strap, Homam hands, D-ring, some elemental gorgets, Black belt, W-legs, Shadow Ring, Heca feet +1 for some jobs.

I'm sure there is some, but I can't think of any other R/Ex that's still useful from old events. There are some things that are rare (Hachiryu Sune-ate/Haidate) and still worth a lot of gil, and all of the things that had macro-able uses before are still useful (like RDM AF2 body/hands/head, BST AF2 feet, etc.)

But as far as Kings, Black belt and D-ring are the only real motivators there. Kings (apart from D-ring and BB items) being dead has also pretty much killed the Einherjar scene. Sky has been reduced to Heca feet and W-legs (and I think Heca feet may be only for dragoon). Limbus' Nashira set is approximately as useful as it used to be, but Homam has totally tanked apart from hands for THF (arguably a good choice I guess). All the situational AF1+1 like THF hands is still generally as useful as it used to be, but the vast majority of AF1+1 were minor upgrades that are now totally outclassed by AF3+2. Good thing I got my http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Wa...s_Chapeau_%2B1, the +1 INT totally made it competitive for nuking with my http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Es...s_Chappel_%2B2, etc. Understandably, the desire for Limbus is essentially gone.

Dynamis still has a ton of situationally useful gear, and so people have still been doing it (but I have not). A lot of players got high off Abyssea xp/hr and leveled a ton of new jobs that they "need" the gear for, so I'm sure they're whoring it. Currency is still the most useful thing to come out of it in my mind though. Thing is, even for those people, spending 3 hours in Dynamis improves their new jobs a lot less than spending 3 hours in Abyssea farming seals, +2 monsters, etc.

[Mojo]

Some Sky/Salvage/Sea/ZNM/Sky pieces are still good for macros. Novio Earring still the best in slot for nuking, also Ninurta's for WHMjas and BLMs who wanna get all hardcore and shit about it. Some mythic weapons still the best also. I dunno, maybe more I'm not thinking about.

[Yugl]

Blood Gauntlets are still the best dark magic skill+ for RDM I think.

[Titanss]

the relics are still the best weapons right? you just aug them now or what?
