New to Voidwatch.

1) What's the min number of pple required? and what jobs are needed to cover all procs?

2)

Once a weakness has been hit, it will be replaced with a new one of the same tier (high or normal).

Does it mean, a new set of weaknesses will replace the old ones AFTER Synchronic Blitz window is over?

[Cairthenn]

Thanks for all the replies. :3

And I'm almost sure it's instant..

Magic: BLM RDM WHM BRD NIN SCH BLU DRK(Possibly only /drk, haven't seen confirmed drain2, abs-acc as procs)
JA: WAR BLM /MNK PLD /DRK SAM DRG /COR PUP DNC SCH
WS: WAR SAM NIN DRK PLD MNK THF(or DNC) RNG
Pets: BST SMN PUP DRG

You're unlikely going to be able to cover all of them and still be able to kill, large coverage would be:
BLM/DRK BLU/DNC WHM SCH BRD
PLD WAR NIN PUP/MNK RNG
<Fill with w/e you need to actually kill>

2/5 or 3/5 for NFR is right. 5/5 closed is just to good to pass up since its basically free acc and eva which is even better for outside of abyssea.

Couldn't disagree with you less.

[Byrthnoth]

Yeah, it mostly comes down to what you prefer for playstyle. Dancer has a very strong Tier 2 section, but Fan and Saber Dance recasts are eh~! I'm personally 2 NFR, 5 CP, 1 Fan, 2 Saber.

Can i skill up my synergy to 80 by making my mule's stall? Or you can only skillup making your own items?

[Eldelphia]

Since I plan at 0 and doing WHM mainly

At what lv should i start investing in gear to not be gimped??? (For leeching xp or not)

How is geared based for a WHM these days

IIRC in 2008 it was like

MP
Cure Potency
MND

Surya's Staff +2

So forgive me if this was tested? Just noticed something while doing bluffalo and solo SCing for staff of trials. My wyvern favors hydro breath normally since they are weak to water, but when I use my second WS of my SC, it seems like my wyvern anticipates the SC and attempts to burst it. It's happened multiple times now, and while it's a low enough sample size to be a coincidence it seems like there is a correlation.

Late but this is probably because of last update which reduces a monster's resistance to the skillchain elements for the period in which you can magic burst. Likely this makes your wyvern automatically favor those elements because they're lowest for that period of time.

Preferably earth fewell if you can keep yourself hasted. The slow will not overwrite haste. Mythril>gold>platinum nuggets are good. I did something to 25 but I can't remember at this point.

You don't really need to keep the slow off with haste if you're just spamming fewell, you can feed normally with slow on you just cant thwack or do any of the extra commands which you probably aren't doing anyway. You can also start with platinum, no reason to progress from lower to higher. I kept about the same skillup rate from 0-60 on platinum from the start. (It got worse closer to cap, but could be because skillups slow down at higher levels too.)

I personally found 5/5 NFR too useful in my lowman dynamis to change that.

Btw evasion from Closed even works when someone is hitting you from sides or back?

I don't know. It either does, or we got another evasion bonus tier trait.

[Chun Liroy]

How does /mnk counterstance work? Is it gimped in any way possible besides not having other counter gear to stack on it?

and was there a yarnball fix yet?

[TacoTaru]

Was browsing the 85/90 mythic pages and noticed Carnwenhan gets increased song time III on 85 (so I assume IV on 90). Is there any data on what the time was extended to? This more out of curiosity's sake than anything else just wondering how long you can get songs to last with it.

My friend goes DRK/MNK with some success and he hasn't mentioned anything about Counterstance being gimped. And, as far as I know, no fix for yarnball yet.

Correct, you still get the 50% counter rate.

Hmmm I wonder how war/mnk would be tanking certain mobs with retaliation and counterstance. Anyone know how the checks are with this one? After acc, does one of the other conflict?

[Ratatapa]

You guys got the expwatch plugin somewhere, on windowed it says the plugin is down for an update

I am pretty sure Counter is checked first and that would limit your retaliation swing and that means lower tp gain, lower damage etc. /sam offers much more for WAR then for DRK too thats why /mnk is pretty good sub for DRK inside abyssea.

+10% per upgrade (+50% on base duration, +3instrument + Carn90 + AF3+2 + AF3 neck = 2x length songs)
