Melo Melo if you can survive against him. Bring spike damage (For after you remove SS) and Poisona in some form. Keep him locked in his shell.

Does Cerberus rage from not being touched, or does his rage not reset, or something?

Went to go kill him earlier today for the synthetic atma, and he just wasn't taking damage. Had an Emp SAM that was only doing 150ish damage gekkos and fudos, right from the start, and another SAM doing just a little less on Gekkos. And this was eating YCB and /war riding zerk, so it wasn't a lack of attack.

Yeah, we tried Cerb a week or so ago for shits and giggles, had the same thing. I think my highest Smite was like 350dmg, most were like 75-150, normal melee damage was in the single digits fairly often. We got it down to 25% or so and gave up, it took an obscenely long time to get that far.

Is this set best for PLD Chant? Remember with shield "fTP" is 4.25-6.25 with AoA and 4.25-5.25 outside so ele gorget/belt give more then if dual wielded when "fTP is 5.25-9.25(5.25-7.25).

Not sure about:

Inside abyssea:
- Lithe Boots

Outside abyssea:
- Perle moufles
- Anguinus belt
- Ares's Flanchard
- Rajas

Tammuz solo on NIN/DNC.... is petrification a huge issue?

Tammuz solo on NIN/DNC.... is petrification a huge issue?

Its pretty much luck. I once get stoned with 4 shadows and I lived through it but another time I didn't since it has pretty much floored acc on 90 NIN in evasion equip but still hits for 400 so you just need to be lucky because petri can last for about 60 sec from what I remember.

EDIT: When I think about it maybe it was at 85 lvl when I did it.

Can't help answer your question but Cuch belt is something else to consider, PLD isn't exactly bleeding ATK (especially if you're /NIN).

[Ricekid]

Easy way for blm body with thf and blm duo? Wait for t2 shiva or can I duo the pixie?

Does Chocobo Jig stack with Sprinter's Shoes quickening buff?

Probably not since they're both quickening status.

Are Iron Plates and Colorless Souls for Ochain/Daurdabla affected by blue weakness unlike other Empyrean upgrade items, or have I just been having a streak of bad luck with TH8+?

[Villian]

Is it me or do Glavoid takes double damage sometimes? It was around his 2hr animation that I notice my RR did double the usual damage, no AoA atma.

[Sindalf]

Do set bonuses proc during WS?

Automaton? Around 270/280 skill should be fine.

Just did it, pretty much a joke. Got stoned once, never stripped shadows. Thanks for the help

Just had a weird situation with a Dhorme Khimmy. Typical fight as always, around 13% he landed Thunderstrike/bolt/whatever and suddenly went white. WAR and MNK were the frontline, both were engaged, but it was a tense couple of seconds since there had been people running around through our camp. We got it back under control once stun went down, but I've never seen that happen before.

Anyone got any ideas why he went unclaimed?
