Random Question Thread XXVII: Okay this roman numerals bullshit is getting ridiculous

[Kamil]

How much does the set bonus from Thamaus gear increase by for each additional piece I have on? And is it the same for the other 2 Nyzul sets?

[Taim Meich]

IIRC it's:

2 -> 3
3 -> 5
4 -> 7
5 -> 10

And the three sets behave the same.

[Martel]

It's

2/5 -> +2
3/5 -> +5
4/5 ->+10
5/5 ->+15

[Maguile]

Been meaning to improve on my ranger recently, mainly on how to actually play the job. Anyone have a good XML for it, as well as any basic tips or guidelines on the job?

[Taim Meich]

It's

2/5 -> +2
3/5 -> +5
4/5 ->+10
5/5 ->+15

How the hell could I be SO wrong?

/facepalm

[Trix]

Strategy for Cuelebre? Seems pretty easy but idk what should be tanking, and getting red/blue sounds annoying if it flies.

[dasva]

Some kind of magic tank would be best. Get hints with AOE ws with another mob next to it.

[CoreyX]

The BLM automaton can easily solo it with Mana Jammer 1/2 and steam jacket and atmas, while the master stays out of range. You can go PUP/THF and hope it's cyclone.
Alternatively, RDM can also straight tank nuke it with magic defense stuff and also do cyclone.
SMN can also do it with an avatar, once again /THF would work for cyclone.
Those are all the jobs I've killed it on but I'm sure there's other methods

Can I just macro in Unkai Haidate +2 for Hasso or do they need to be remained equipped?

[Guitarman]

are all the WoTG battles soloable now?

The bonus is only active while equipped. You can remove them, then re-equip them and regain the bonus though.

[LidenbokValour]

Great, thanks.

[grevenilvec75]

I dual boxed all of windurst quests + missions except the one where waves of yagudo attack right outside of the city (couldn't get hate on all of them before they destroyed the structures). Might be soloable on certain jobs (BLU or BST come to mind, maybe PLD)

[Nattack]

how the hell do i deal with disgorge? I've started making an ukon, and it just seems like it can dish it out faster than I can put migawari up... and that healing/stoneskin on TP moves? glavoid is bullshit :c

[dasva]

Um well there is stun. And if he keeps taking migawari down so fast try turning around till timer back up. And yeah know make sure to cap subtle blow and dagi in tp sets.

[JustaWAR]

I found violent flourish to work a lot better than trying to migawari it.


Is there a certain amount of DEX I should try to wear into Nyzul? or is dDEX capped just from being 99?

Glavoid is bullshit. Brd -damage taken song and earth carol II is pretty boss for this. Don't know if you have help or not.

[Mrp]

Do you have any tips to make it faster?
I want to make 20000xp in dynamis jeuno for trial
I went tonight with 6 person , using xp rings , and took a while to get all 5 TE
we did like 6500XP. prob can do 8000 next time.

do you have any other tips? 6 person is too much?

[Radec]

Duo-Trio on DC beasts(not beastmen) is ideal, remember to get signet. Look up w/e dreamlands zone your item needs and go there instead - given you have 6500 already done, you should finish easily w/out any more exp rings - as mnk+rdm duo, I pull about 12k/hour, so ~20k total after TE. That is also holding to proc, swapping families, etc so 13500 should be no issue.

[Yugl]

I soloed all my XP trials. Currently, only WAR isn't done (That one is a bitch since WAR has jackshit for defense mechanisms and I tend to solo DCs).
