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

[Omnipotent]

Can someone post non post non Phorcys Widowmaker set for 6 hit ?

[Radec]

Rajas, Tyrants, anything else you need to cap haste. Widow only needs 22stp, 7 after /sam.

[Omnipotent]

Okay ty

[xIndustrialxAngelx]

What assaults do people do for points? I can trio box, and have relics/emps.

[Fereydoon]

iirc Red Vs. Blue was the staple way back when.

Are Kacura Leggings +1 the best choice for Victory Smite?

DEF:21 HP+25 STR+6 DEX+6 Evasion+10 Critical hit rate +2%

Is there some secret I’m missing to the Assault ‘Imperial Agent Rescue’?

Failed this the last 4 times I tried.

First went with nothing crazy. Whm, Pld, Bst Bst (Bsts didn’t use pets). We all whittled them down to 20% or less and stood at the same door. Door got a couple hits but didn’t break. Timed out

Next run went as a couple Bsts and we each aggro’d some Mamools with our pets and stayed them right infront of the door. Didn’t work at all.

3rd attempt was similar but we all went /rdm and spammed Diaga/Snarl.

4th attempt we changed it up. Went Pld, Whm, Whm & Pup. Pld grabbed a bunch and stood by the door and spammed Earth Crusher while the Whms spammed Diaga.
Pup pull a few of his own to a different door and had his puppet cure him. We were able to knock 1 door down (with our Pld/Whm/Whm) and I think we needed 1 more hit to knock down the 2nd, but we timed out. Most Fire spits were missing the door…

Any suggestions? It's one of the lowest rank missions you can do...should it be this difficult?

[Cairthenn]

You have to move to the side when they use the TP move. Firespit gets it down in one try if you do it right.

If you honestly can't do it at all, you could have somebody just pretend the doors don't exist, I think, but that's obviously at your discretion.

I was not aware that worked, would have saved me a small amount of time when I did it forever ago.

What would I use Prosilio Belt for on COR/BLU, if anything? Before I throw it on the AH.

Edit: I also do have a Wanion Belt.

Has anyone come to a conclusion on the drop rate of doubles from empy NMs?

[Chocobunnies]

Are the blu/cor/pup/dnc/sch "maat" fights capped at 70? And yes, I am that bored lately

[Fereydoon]

No, I did the BLU one a while back at 90 or 95.

[Dotsudoku]

I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times, but is there a catch-all set of atmacite that are generally best for DD? If it matters, it'll mostly be pertinent to MNK(Vere), WAR(Ukon), DRK(Reso), and DRG(Ryu).

Please and thank you~

Ok, thanks.

It doesnt. Old Q2 fallacies. I did it last night, just stood at the door on my weaponless thief while it spammed firespit 4x. the weapon toss is what breaks it in one shot, except I destroyed their weapons before their HP even hit 95%.

Theres a way to use apradar to find out which cell the NPC is in before you start breaking down doors so you dont waste time.

As far as I've been told - Discipline, Coercion, Valiant...

However, with the changes to Save TP - I think Discipline might only be worth it if you're getting Miser's Roll...

One atmacite I find intriguing, especially if you're low on cruor to upgrade, is atmacite of the depths.... even at level 1 it gives STR+10, HP+10%...

Has anyone come to a conclusion on the drop rate of doubles from empy NMs?

My personal experience on doing my Verethragna:

Chloris: 31 kills = 51 drops
:::20 doubles, 11 singles.... ~64.5% rate on doubles
Ulhuadshi: 33 kills = 50 drops
:::19 doubles, 12 singles.... ~57.6% rate on doubles
Dragua: 43 kills = 75 drops
:::32 doubles, 11 singles.... ~74.4% rate on doubles

Did some other Emps with my LS as well... in general, T1 and T2 seemed to be around ~60%, and T3 seemed to be around ~70% on doubles.

[Taint]

Can the 3 Taou kings be soloed by a BST? What about 2 BST?

[Churchill]

saw a jp beast solo khim and khim is the hardest

Just to throw in some extra data from what I've done in the past week

Fistule: 26 kills - 50 drops
24 doubles, 2 singles; 92.3% rate
(possible different rate since he's a different spawn mechanic? probably just extremely lucky)

Briareus: 29 kills - 48 drops
19 doubles, 10 singles; 65.5% rate

Both done with TH6 THF

Is it worth doing Magian Dark Magic Attack Staff for SCH (Kaustra)?
I've yet to see one situation where anyone has said "Kaustra would be awesome!"

Also, I'm lazy and don't want to do any magian trials that aren't really necessary.
