Solo'd him np lv90 NIN/DNC

Just take more than one type of physical damage.

Awesome, thanks! Is there any way to track our figure out where the ph is?

What would be best weapons to use on NIN for other two damage types?

Not that I know of. Popping is the hardest/most painful thing about him.

On a note of soloing: dont damage it during Blunt mode, it gains access to a petrify TP move which will most likely not wear off before you die.

I used twilight knife/bartholemew(sp?)(steal+2 from sky) and didnt touch it during blunt mode due to the above mentioned TP move.

Doesnt really matter what weapons you use, just as long as you can gain some TP. It's not the fastest solo due to him seeming to spend forever in blunt mode but not the most difficult.

How really bad is Optic Induration? Is it just the petrify that sucks? Was thinking MNK (might have vere by the time we do this) WHM and a mule on THF/WHM or WHM (semi gimp). Just trying to build pops for Hope Torque for Ei.

Just the petrify which was a problem solo. With a 2nd char, will be beyond easy. (to kill. Still a pain to pop)

From BGWiki:

Sphere effects are are a constant Area of Effect enhancement granted to players within a certain radius (10 yalms) of the player with the Sphere effect.

What was this based on?
I just tried measuring the range of sphere effect as I type this, and found that I need to be at least 28.7 yalms to receive sphere effect from toci's harness.

EDIT: nvm, actually I received the sphere effect from other armor

Do you think Quiebitiel could be taken down by a duo? I was thinking going Thf + Brd but I am unsure if enough damage would be dealt between his Benedictions.

Thanks.

He only has about 10k HP. If you go /SAM and use sekka Evis Evis when he starts casting a longish spell, you should easily take him out from near full HP.

Our Ukko War accidently killed him from 80% HP before we'd procced him with an 8-9k WS. >_>

Saw a few pages back that Windbuffet belt was good for UF, is it useful for any other common weaponskills?

[grevenilvec75]

Because it's much, much faster? 300 WS vs thousands, if you want to go massacre bunnies then be my guest.

Maybe i'm missing something, but why would only need 300 WS in abyssea, but thousands in ronfaure?

EDIT: Just to clarify, we're talking about testing the crit rate bonus on certain WSs right?

EDIT again: What kind of margin of error are you shooting for?

EDIT yet again. I see what's going on now, you are using a non-crit test to determine crit rate. Yeah the abyssea test would much more accurate than my way.

I'm curious on the Ursa Majors claws. They got +2 damage, +140 delay, and occasionally attacks 2-4 times. Would it be better than my Revanant fists +2 (screw the +3 and +4, I don't feel like paying 40M for it) for my pup? From what I read on wiki, the 2-4x attack supposedly stacks with double attack, allowing for up to 8 hits, but I dunno if that's true or not. And I also don't know if it applies only to the mainhand or to both swings. Honestly, I don't usually even use victory smite, since pummel tends to do just as good or slightly higher than it.

I'm also not sure on the distribution of hits, some people are saying 40/30/20/10, and others 50/25/15/10. Just wondering if it would be worthwhile to get them or not.

[Midnightjade]

Does TH from Atma of Dread stack with TH3 from Dipper Yuly or Faithful Falcor? I did search for the answer but no luck.

Also, probably been asked before but does TH help with avatar-ites and geodes? Again, I can't find the answer.

Thanks!

There was some discussion in the random fail thread. My limited testing with an insufficient sample size says TH may help. I'm not exactly tracking weather when I do get them (usually doing something else, and I check log after), but weather helps a lot in getting them to drop. For example, I was skilling stuff in Vunkerl, an area which usually has thunder weather and occasionally wind weather, over an 11 hour period, I got 15 ramuites, 8 garudites, and 1 each of carbite,fenrite and leviatite.

[Churchill]

Am I wrong in assuming Oce.Head+1 is better than Pandinus beret for wildfire?

[Prothescar]

Yes

[Churchill]

I derped that Willy Wonka style, would need to have 16~19AGI to be better

[Sera]

So I just reactivated, so apologies for the dumb question. Wondering if spellcast is working right now? I can't get it to work. Thanks.

Maybe you already have a pair, and want the Ursa Major for something else, but if not, just get a pair of Oxyuranis (fire path). 11 STR and 22 att with respectable damage is just too convenient for PUP.
