I'd recommend another 1 hand delve weapon like sword

So hundred fists has the note "Forces fist-based attacking even if Footwork is up". What happens to normal kick attacks? Do they not happen or are they just kicks with your fists lol?

Thinking about gearing GEO for LS Delve events. What sets will I need? If you don't mind posting gear too that would be appreciated. Thanks

Is there a way to get another Matre Bell?

[Johnblaze]

If dropped/tossed you can repurchase another from Sylvie Western Adoulin (I-5)for 300k gil or 150,000 Bayld.

5hitting Senbaak Nagan worth it?

Holy crap if true, replacing the lvl 1 animator is like 10k I think.

Finally got my usu mask

45 gote dropped as well. Omodaka worth getting (don't have ten+1) or should I just wait the next update out? t2 bayld gear coming and t1 already has 3 haste in the hands w/ a bunch of acc/dex; and if no improvements then just get omodaka?

Worth using windbuffet @ 24% haste? Could use Tantra+2 or Thurandaut for haste and acc; or could also go with brego gloves for 4% haste but shitty acc (already losing a bunch by swapping out the melee gloves+2 of my old build, and also lost some by going from Thurandaut head to usu)

Is perfect defense able to overwrite another perfect defense? Or does it need to wear before another SMN can perform PD?

No, even when you don't need acc I can't make 5 hit worth while.

Perfect Defense does NOT overwrite. Must wear off before another can be applied.

What's a decent strategy to take down Kalasutrax? PUG Friendly, hopefully. I've been getting my ass kicked because of his weakness and doom spam.

[Kaisha]

Throw two displacers at it and hope you still don't wipe because of trigger-illiterate fools.

[Hitou]

Make sure you have smart stunners. If you let yaksha w/e go off too many time you'll probably time out, and yeah get procs and keep doom screen/fanatics up. PUG seem to have the worst time on this guy next to rex, or at least they did when people still did VW on my server.

Doing something horribly wrong then, because it's why HQ sucks.

Just a five minute start. I'd look at Pak Corselet +1 and Ker's Flanchard next to switch to Karieyh Moufles maybe, but you tend to WS in Ogier hands anyway.

Anyone?

[Cairthenn]

I believe the kick attack is directed to a H2H hit.

I'm personally holding off on using my neglected Windbuffet Belt until I've completed both Usukane Somen +1 and Usukane Sune-Ate +1, so this is what I currently TP in. In your case, however, I believe that using Brego Gloves with Windbuffet would be the way to go. (I actually have a pair of Brego Gloves, too, for special uses, e.g., when hands are one of the only slots I have unlocked in Salvage.) You may want to run the numbers just in case. As for Omodaka, considering how incredibly easy it is to get Ritualistic Plans, I'd say to just make them anyway. Why not, right? During this double plans period, you'll get the necessary amount of plans in one run. If it gets outdated later, it's not like you spent a lot of time on it.

That aside, you said that you have Melee Gloves +2 as well, and that you're worried about losing ACC. I'd suppose that's in relation to Delve at the moment. If it is, my recommendation would be to just have another high ACC capped Haste set to use in those situations. Once you have both Usu head and feet HQed, it'll be easier to pull off powerful high ACC sets while keeping Haste capped.

While we're on the subject of Salvage, I've fought the NQ and HQ Hydra a great deal of times, and they've simply decided they're not going to give me a Genta Kabuto. Likewise, the Khimaira doesn't want to be my friend. Considering, I've the following to ask:

Does anyone have any specific trioing recommendations for the Devrgr boss of SSR II? We haven't run through Silver Sea Remnants II at all, but thought we'd give its boss a go, despite the fact that its drop rate for the pieces I'm interested in is slightly lower according to FFXIDB. As for our potential job combinations, my own main is MNK (see gear set link posted above), but I can also attend as WHM or SCH. The other two players' options include MNK, WHM, and practically anything else you can imagine (DNC, BLU, BRD, et cetera), and the third has WHM, THF, BLU, and a handful of other well-geared jobs. All of us are skilled. Suggestions?
