For brewing Apademek, would Fools or Fanatics block his enstun?

Fanatic's doesn't block en-enfeebles so fools.

Anyone know which pitaru food affects SMN skill? One is for Offensive magic skills and the other is for defensive.

What salvage Usukane pieces are soloable by MNK?

35's, likely all as long as you have a way (dia, poison) to keep 5th frog from regening on charm (assuming can full unlock 1 person and pop, don't recall). Same with 15's. 25's, if you have a mage 2box can kill all but the discoid chariot, but the SSR one (brainjack) could be messy.

Merits for DRK?

5/5 LR duration and then 5/5 LR effect or 5/5 Souleater, generally I'd go with the former for non-Apoc owners. 5/5 Desperate Blows, 4 Diabolic Eye, 1 Dark Seal is what I did for G2.

Lowman KSNM99 Wyrm Strategies?

BLU + RDM would tear it apart I imagine since the newer physical spells can hit it while it's flying and RDM can heal, refresh, and nuke. DD + WHM + ranged (RNG, BLM, COR, SCH, etc) works fine regardless.

Does getting red proc on abyssean VNMs increase chance of abyssite upgrading?

[Deader2818]

Nope. But maybe after next update.

[Raelia]

DRK merits?

5/5 LR Recast
5/5 Desperate Blows

Torcleaver: 5/5 LR effect
Scythe: 5/5 Souleater Recast (Because fuck Quietus, use Guillotine!)

Unlock both Diabolic Eye and Dark Seal at least, distribute rest as you please. 4/5 Diabolic Eye still isn't a big deal, but eating Pizza is a bigger accuracy boost anyway. 4/5 Dark Seal can be handy. 3/5 Muted Soul if you like to see people rage about your merit choices (but still decent for us still-Scythe-but-not-Apoc people).

If the WHM is not a taru then its possible to duo discoid one too. You wont get 2 discoid in a row with just mnk and 4000/2*0.5 is just 1k damage so actually even a taru with good mdt set + stoneskin will be fine.

SSR wont be messy at all, just put DoT on it, switch weapon on MNK before charm and run to boss on WHM and let it charms you after MNK. If you gonna keep HP full before the charm on both chars, which should be super easy with so limited TP feed, you shouldnt ever be close to danger. When charm on mnk will wear just pop perfect counter and face boss w/o facing the whm ( if you have high staff or club skill just unequip weapon on whm too before going for charm ). You can also go on /NIN but I dont think its needed.

How come I remember at 75 people said 3/5 D blows? Was something changed? I remember an update but totally forgot why it was changed.

Also, how come you would only want 5/5 LR effect if you have Torcleaver or Apoc?

I think you'd be hard-pressed to solo all the way to CC and still have time to kill all the ramparts/CC.

Edit: You cap Desperate Blows because of the Last Resort update.

You need 3 fully unlocked to pop floor 5 frog unless there was a recent change im not aware of.

Before you assumed hasso to make up the rest and since it lasted so short it was a safe assumption. The increase in LR duration opens up different subjobs or even riding seigan alot of the time and still capping ja haste if you go 5/5

Not like to need to hit everything on the way - Left side F1, get enough to unlock, SW F2 is freebie, F3 just need to clear enough to kill the stationary ramp, and then F4 might be some trouble, but I think it'll still be possible. There is lots of room to deagg overlarge pulls, and then pick off stuff as it paths back, just have to avoid the geartrain then.

3/5 works on the assumption that you're fulltiming Hasso. Still an option, but not a particularly good one imo.

Also, how come you would only want 5/5 LR effect if you have Torcleaver or Apoc?

I advocate Souleater recast for Apoc since you can use Souleater pretty freely with Catastrophe's drain. With Torcleaver, Guillotine, or Quietus, you may not have that luxury. If you do, by all means max Souleater instead of LR effect.

[Deader2818]

Ah, I gotcha.

I guess if I have a WHM mule to cure myself most of the time souleater might not be so bad, lol.

What's the hit distribution on the Magian Occasionally Attacks 2-4 Times weapons? I recall 40/30/20/10 for some reason, but I can't actually find where I read that anymore.

Estimate of Dring drop rate from "new" KB? Or hell, estimate drop rate of dring from old KB since it may not have changed?

lsmate is 0/18ish
all 3 fights are a joke tho, if u have the KS can try to spam it i guess, although drop rate for KB pop is terrible.
