Random Question Thread XXII: You Know the Deal

[Valisk]

and chainspell stun for suzaku is still necessary.

Necessary? It's convenient but hardly necessary. Not even at 75 cap.

Edit: Beaten.

Seiryu sucked thf+whm duo, but was the only hard one. Suzaku was piss easy. Though I had Shell V and flee'd for a lot of CS.
Seiryu occasionally decides to -aga your shadows, dispel them as you put up :ni again, then breath you and deadly dive in the space of 10 seconds. That was fun. With his stupid regain he can quite easilly still fuck you up at 90, especially solo without a Cure V to fall back on.

I was referring to this, not Hundred Fists.

Also, regardless of what MDT set you may have chainspell from Suzaku could still fuck you up fast(and also we duo'd with rdm + thf, it's way more time consuming to build an MDT set for THF to use on 1 fight where I could just cs + stun the mob). If you are duoing and dont care about losing a popset, more power to you.

A lot of that can be stunned, and we were originally talking about NIN solo. It's rough and annoying and you definitely need meds to deal with enfeebles, but it's doable. Suzaku is far more likely to kill you simply because of the raw amount of damage it can do during Chainspell if you don't have Shell V, especially when you're relying on Waltz III.

ITT: getting Merman's Rings/Earringsx2 and Twilight Torque is time consuming and MDT sets are only useful for one fight.

Suck less.

[Darkmagi]

Also last few times i did suzaku, paralyze2 prevented nearly all of his casts during chainspell. Shit is easy as fuck.

I don't even know what to say to this

[TacoTaru]

I actually laughed out loud at that. This is too funny to be real; I feel like I'm getting trolled.

NIN WHM THF or MNK WHM THF able to trio Long-armed Chariot?

NIN WHM THF or MNK WHM THF able to trio Long-armed Chariot?

Yes to both combos.

[Nightfyre]

NIN WHM THF or MNK WHM THF able to trio Long-armed Chariot?

DD + WHM would have a easy time of it tbh, nevermind the second DD. When I kill it I apply dots before BJ and just let myself and the healer get charmed, never have any trouble. Takes maybe 10 minutes NIN + RDM with a THF only engaging after 25%.

[dasva]

I can attest to Seiryu being the worst of the gods now especially in lowman, all the other 3 are snoozefests, and chainspell stun for suzaku is still necessary.

Chainstun was never necessary. I mean shit rdm/nins have been soloing it since 75

Having a lot of trouble with haste/stp ratio on masamune sam. Whats the good middle ground? I was thinking

STP:
Rose Strap (+4)
Unkai kabuto +2 (+8 )
Brutal Earring (+1)
Aesir Ear Pendant (+3)
Unkai Domarce +2 (+10)
Rajas Ring (+5)
Goading Belt (+5)
Unkai Haidate +2 (+7)
Aces Leggings (+5)
Total (+ 48 which will give me a 5 hit )

---------------------------
Haste:
Unkai Kabuto +2 (6%)
Dusk Gloves +1 (4%)
Goading Belt (5%)
Unkai Haidate +2 (4%)
Ace leggings (3%)
Total (22%)

This is about the best set up I can think of Unless i add white tathlum, and relic neck and replace goading with bullwhip for a +48 stp and 24% Haste :/ Anyone have a better suggestion on which is better if either?

[AzazaelFenrir]

If your DD has a decent MDT kit and your WHM isn't gimp, you can just lock in MDT gear and melee through Chainspell.

Seiryu can be bound with relative ease now so DD + WHM/RDM shouldn't be dying to Hundred Fists.

When we killed the other night with Nini, I didn't even bother with MDT, we just killed too fast.

1. Aesir earring has Conserve TP, not Store TP. Different functionality, don't factor it into an X-hit build.

2. http://www.ffxiah.com/item-sets/99564 Capped haste, 5-hit. Requires 15 Store TP in gear during WS.

Is that gear set actually worth it over all dmg wise? dont really see many zelus sams

[msthief]

You can silence suzaku 100% with ES and a ninja wearing Item set + dusk/byakko's can evasion tank Seiryu. Seriously people, nothing even as fancy as a MDT set.

[Atoreis]

Because most SAMs are noobs. Taint's set is one of the best.

[Tnfen]

If one were to reformat their Ps2 HDD what information would they lose?

I know pictures/emails/macros/mapmarkers would get flushed but would I also lose my friendlist and personal messages?

[TacoTaru]

Friend's list is tied to the POLID, messages are tied to the machine they were checked on iirc.
