Random Question Thread: Fuck it.

[Rehn]

Offhand for NIN? Would fire katana be it? Mainhand kannagi.

[Dotsudoku]

AFAIK, Kamome inside Abyssea(and perhaps doing anything with capped attack?), STR magian everywhere else.

[Kyte]

Wasn;t the testimony multiple-use thing busted for certain jobs also, or was that addressed already?

If I remember correctly, you are both correct that it was broken for certain jobs and that it was recently addressed.

How many phase displacers should be used for Fjalar? Bismarck?

[noodles355]

If I was to be using Sch for legion mainly, would it be worth dumping Stormsurge merits in place of Equanimity or not?

[Yugl]

Neither are substantial to legion, but Stormsurge will be beneficial for nuking the turtle.

How many phase displacers should be used for Fjalar? Bismarck?

2 displacers per pop were enough for Bismarck the last set I did. Fjalar I can't remember.

[Karah]

One displacer is generally enough... Hell it's not even hard with zero, but if its a shout... look at who you got... If you know they all suck... save the headache, waste the money, blow the whole load and get the fuckin win. If they're decent, 2 should make it pretty much impossible to lose.

For Dynamis Jeuno the times are irritating but as long as you avoid pulls with pets you can pull and hide if taking a thf.Helps with a couple and with isolating NMs

SS's INT will be better than the strat's -enmity for it? See I was thinking of dropping stormsurge merits for it just because it's so easy to pull hate on him.

Edit: Another question. What'd be my best way for 2box farming Isgebinds? Main has Thf Sch Drg Cor War Rdm and Mule has Sch and Nin. Would be shouting to buy pops/hearts too, so if there's a better way to kill prefarmed and a better way to farm+kill together, I'd be keen to hear both.

[Asymptotic]

SCH + THF will probably do just fine pre-farmed, and SCH/THF + NIN/WAR should be able to farm+kill.

If you're buying hearts, here's what I did and it worked out really well, might help you. If one of the toons has cor, and you're brewing them, you're building fast amber. If you can grab a person you're paying for hearts or a friend to stick around and abuse the farmed amber for more KI in boxes while you shout to buy more on the other account, time saved is pretty nice.

Took me 3 hours for 75 hearts and only cost me 100k per KI and the guy who stuck around to farm boxes while I shout gave me half the KI's found free cause he was getting the crour/exp/trophies/dagger.

It only burnt 5 brews, 7 dragons each brew and a couple random hearts I had previous.

If not going the brew route

SCH + THF will probably do just fine pre-farmed, and SCH/THF + NIN/WAR should be able to farm+kill.

Using embrava with the regen 5 and the attack speed of thf pretty much makes it a brew anyway. Only thing is the annoyance of constant para.

The Sch and Thf are on the same character, but I'm guessing Thf+Whm (SJs for both?) would be just as good? I'd prolly be looking to buy most out of laziness (figure like 75k per heart or 100k per pop?).

And would Sch/Thf + Nin/War be ok without stuns? I hear his agas hurt and para is a bitch (and sch doesn't have barspells) or would constant melee from Nin interupt his spells?

[Dotsudoku]

His spells can hurt, but we're also talking about the place that gives you 2000-3000 HP. It shouldn't be an issue if your healer isn't AFK.

[Talint]

For a non-relic/non-empy ranger: Apex Arrow or Last Stand?

[Dotsudoku]

Last Stand

[Talint]

Last Stand

Thought as much, but just wanted to make sure. Thank you kindly!

[Dotsudoku]

Apex would be pretty nice if the description matched the properties, but alas, that is not the case

Edit: Just kidding. Didn't it allude to additional hits or something similar in the past?

[Lyltia]

I 2-boxed my Hearts as NIN/WAR WHM/THF. Tank it on the tail, make sure your WHM idles in PDT gear to mitigate flail damage. When it uses Gregale Wing or w/e it is, it stops using tp and just nukes; decent Barblizzara + MDT set makes his spells manageable, but it's still worth trying to cast Ni once when you see Blizzard V. Make sure the WHM keeps Addle up. Once the paralysis aura dies it'll start flailing again, so get shadows up and be ready. Takes 4~6min depending how good the NIN is and how much paralysis aura you have to deal with, but, you have to try pretty hard to lose.

[NynJa]

Why not have whm drop pt so flail doesnt hit them?
