Make it for 30 extra seconds to phantom roll duration with winning streak 5/5.

Nevermind

Which food is cheap and good to do VW and such?

something between Meat kabob 60attack for 10k stacks and carbonara 60k stacks maybe

[Obsidian]

I use yellow curry for most VW shouts. Stuff like Ig-Alima I eat red curry unless I can tell I'll be dying a lot.

[noodles355]

coeurl subs have the same attack as yellow curry buns iirc, but I think the +1 has a longer duration (1hr?).

Anyone have any suggestions for minimum number and setup to be able to hit up most NMs and NQ/HQ cerberus boss in Bhaflau Remnants II? We tried it as whm/rdm, sam/war, nin/dnc, and thf/dnc, was able to hit up most NMs but ended up having 20 mins left on cerberus and ended up passing him and timing out and wiping to Cerberus Seether at 41% due to no mp for whm and time out.

I do all NMs, NQ and HQ boss in a bit more than 1 hour as WHM/RDM+MNK/WAR. I'm not sure what you are doing wrong? SAM maybe? but SAM have access to magical WS so i dont see why you wouldn't be able to kill them solo as SAM.

The NQ and HQ boss are joke as far as damage they do (counterstance negates most of teh damage). The HQ doesn't deserve be called an HQ as its the NQ with the same stats but 1 more TP move (acheron flame), as far as I can tell.

The only trick is to bypass the PDT; MNK has formless strike, but its possible to do it with 1 MNK tanking and 1 THF spamming aeolian edge, and never have to use Formless strike. Ive done it. Replace MNK with any DD.

How much haste does each march cap at with a +3 instrument and brd hands? I suspect I've been calculating my needed haste on jobs with old values that are now gimp. And since relics are more common now as well how much would a 99ghorn amount to?

Basic haste values: victory march is 96/1024, advancing march is 64/1024. Each March+1 stat adds 16/1024 to each march. So with ...

AF3+2 hands and +2 instrument: Advancing=112, victory=144, total=256/1024.
AF3+2 hands and +3 instrument: Advancing=128, victory=160, total=288/1024
AF3+2 hands and Gjallarhorn99 : Advancing=144, victory=176, total=320/1024.

The magic haste cap is 448/1024 and haste spell gives 150/1024, so 2xmarch+haste from a relic BRD/WHM gives caped magical haste, while +3 bard is 10/2034 (~1%) short, and +2 bard is 42/1024 (~4%) short. Most dualwield jobs/H2H just need +3 instrument to cap delay with exception of spharai that needs +4.

Does 99 Verethragna beat 99 Spharai and do I have to keep the mnk relic +2 body on to get the effects of the Formless Strikes?

[mdkuser]

No ( the difference between the two is the order of 2~3%) and I dont know.

They do, but there are never any +1 subs on the AH on my server for whatever reason. NQ stacks are like 25-33% cheaper than yellow curry buns thou, so I use those for most things that I don't bother with red curry on.

[ssjjfar]

Don't the curry buns have a extra +10 attack if your in a party of 4 or more. Only thing that separates it from subs.

Is Bahamut V2 soloable by BLU/SCH/SMN?

Same with any ENM for a Cloud Evoker/Ouryu?

[MrSamuels]

Anyone able to point me in the right direction for what they use for their WHM mules.

Probably best to PM me.

Only during activation

Personally, I just use XI-Util's Send Plugin. [As well as Sandbox.]
Make a ton of windower binds to send commonly used macros. [Cure me, Cure mule, haste, erase, follow, etc.]

Probably not as efficient as some other methods, but it works nicely for me and keeps me in control, opposed to fully automating.

Not sure about bahamut but really doubt ouryu is. Also those ENMs are still capped so I guess maybe a pretty good lvl 75 geared sch could probably take on brothers.

I expected the ENMs to be obnoxious, but Ouryu should be easily duoable, yeah?

[fantasticdan]

Blu could solo like the wind at 75. A lot of jobs could do the antlion one, but that was with using apradar to find the NM, not sure if it still works.

[Delain]

Ouryu is not that bad, a friend and I have been doing it "duo" (both using two boxes) as BLU BLU(or PLD because we are lazy) WHM THF and it hasnt been "easy", but I can not say it is hard either. Dealing with the adds is the biggest issue. It can get a bit chaotic.

Bahamut himself is a joke for the most part, and Tiamat, Jormangund, and Ouryu go down stupid fast, but Vrtra can cause issues when he charms. Our strategy for it has just been to have him on Aegis PLD killing Bahamut with his two box THF there just for TH and help killing the lessers as they pop since he is basically able to afk tank Bahamut. I run BST to deal with the lesser wyrms as they pop and pretend to be useful on my WHM two box (really just recasting bar spell, shell, and an occasional cure). It isnt overly fast, but it works. The only issue we have is if Vrtra charms one of us, then it gets rough.

I highly doubt either are soloable, but I could be wrong.

For bearclaw pinnacle holy cow is the easier solo option, especially if you don't want to buy a bunch of 75 cap gear but not with the jobs you listed. Sch can probably make short work of brothers though since blm was able to do it fairly easily and that was without kaustra.

Sheep in antlions clothing would be easy on smn and blu if ASE/radar still work for it (im pretty sure they do)

Uninvited Guests in Monarch Linn should be easy for blu also (but I never saw an evoker from it in tons of wins)

Ouryu should be an easy duo but I don't see solo going well. Bahamut v2 can probably be zerged down solo but not sure if blu is capable of doing enough damage fast enough, again duo would be easy.
