Random Question Thread XXVI: The Rise and Fall of the RQT

How does OAT DRG do as a DD in Nyzul with near optimal gear?

I go as DRG and we got our first clear last night (no dat swaps or anything). I usa OAT but a lot of my gear is still a work in progress, and it pretty much rapes in there. It might not be as good as MNK or apoc DRK or something, but it gets the job done lol.

I've never seen one in NN but I"m sure it does quite well.

Next question! LS is attempting New Omega tonight, looks like we're only gonna have 12 people (most people missed the last run where we got the KI). I know we should probably have a dedicated saccer grabbing pods as they pop, but anything else I should know as far as strategy or party set ups?

Info is on Arch-Omega page, but in addition to that, I think he has 100% accuracy or very high accuracy since he never missed a swing on my MNK. That said, MNK/WAR Counterstance that fucker. We had him to 1% before timing out, but that included a full wipe recover. If you let him absorb too much while on 4 legs, his evasion becomes absurd. Our problem was hate (He did an abnormal number of Pile Slam or w/e) and slow damage while on 4-legs. Handle that and he's no problem. Our setup had 8 people, but I've heard reports of 6 people winning. However, 6 is not advisable because if one DD falls (Very possible with Pile Pitch + 2nd TP move), a pile pitch on the other DD will put the mages at risk.

What is this?

New expansion?

It came from lolgfaqs so I'm skeptical but it looks legitimate

[Radec]

tbh it came from here, see the vanafest incoming thread in news section.

[Squah]

Should have been more specific. I saw it first on gfaqs. Not sure of original point of origin.

For the original point of origin, look here.

Cool, thanks. With a few extra people, would you recommend an actual tank for this kind of fight? Or just more DD (with PDT sets) trading hate and getting dmg done?

[Yugl]

I prefer the DD route, but if Atonement means you hold hate at the first 25%, then do that. I'm actually not sure what to change aside from my sub for the next fight, but that was the only part of the fight causing problems. Perhaps more nukers if you have more people going to speed up that phase. VS > VS and MB that fucker.

As Radec mentioned, as long as the other game you load up can run fullscreen+windowed (I know Diablo 3 can do this) POL won't crash. But any non-windowed, fullscreen game will likely cause POL to crash. And if you use something like DisplayFusion, you can then move that fullscreen+windowed game to your secondary monitor and have both up at the same time.

So basically what you're saying is that dual monitor setup isnt a solution to the whole "ffxicrashing when starting another fullscreen game" issue.

That sucks.

Do Breath spells still work reasonably well on the four-leg mode, or has that been altered for the Arch-version?

[Draylo]

Wouldn't Requiescat do well too?

Aura pots on olla level. Soon as mule can get exp from them, ~6-7, I max out at around 80k/hour there(edit: as relic99 mnk, ymmv). It's only 227,850 from 0 > 49, but you'll spend the first hour building gov chain up, so it'll average lower. Mule can afk right on the book and get xp from all the pots, definitely not 15 hours.

80k/h at your main?
Mule will get like next to nothing exp from mobs while you will get nice chunk.
You getting how much for this page for how many pots? Lets say its 3k for 5 aura pots. Thats 130 mobs in 60 min. Its really hard to believe. I dont think they even repop fast enough.

Correct. POL is very sensitive to all kinds of shit trying to go fullscreen while it's running. The only real solution I've find is to run all other games I play in windowed or fullscreen+windowed mode and hope POL doesn't shit the bed anyway on something like the intro movie to another game.

[Squah]

On the topic of POL shitting its pants, I cannot turn off my PC monitor while in game, even if it is not my current window. It crashes instantly and boots me back to POL with an error code.

Lowest amount of people to kill Lord Asag?

[Atoreis]

Ok since none answered my question I will try to narrow it and ask other way.
Is any of the items below is best for something at any job?:
1. Eirene's Manteel ( enmity down nuking? )
2. A'as Circlet
3. Wurrukatte Boots
4. Repartie Gloves ( Probably none knows FC on them?)
5. Pharmakeia Robe ( This is only +1INT over Nares assuming 3/5 set equipped before body so I'm not sure if its worth inventory space? Its also 9less macc)

I get about 20xp/pot on main, 3-4 on mule.

3860 per completed page(7 pots) once chain is built, on both main and mule. 145pots/60mins, there are 15 pops on the olla level, and I'm just behind the 5m repop timers on them - "max" is 180/60mins, but with fight and depop times it's a little lower.

They have 16 min respawn so you cant kill more than ~70 in 1h

EDIT: If they changed it to 5 min You might be right but I still cant see that w/o aggroing all of them and counterstance kill all at once but than you need some form of cure. I just cant belive that you kill pot in 20 sec counting in running from one to other (unless idk with 300% movement from clipper).

Ask anyone who's been in sky, it was changed to 5mins quite a while ago, same time gov was added.
