Delve

I forgot to mention... not that I see much use in this, but besides the fact that Indi/Geo-Poison are unresistable on raged stuff, the damage from Concentric Pulse also seems like it doesn't resist or get reduced. Did 1k+ instant damage to a raged monster.

LS mate got one and nuked some things.

Bliz1 vs level 0 starter mobs. 150 without any gear, 255 with alternator.

Thunder 5 vs Giants in Abyssea (no int/mab abyssea buffs). 1175 without. 1816 with alternator.

Seems like MAB +35 or so.

+35MAB on top of the +70INT? Sorry I'm an idiot when it comes to nuking in general.

[Prothescar]

anyone tested to see if it adds haste or snapshot or something?

What's the nukey puppet's base INT?

Probably approx 99 94 before Alternator's alleged +70. I'll check in a sec.

Also, idk whether to ask here or RQT but what are the easiest NMs to kill in Foret for KIs? :\ orobon and jagil i guess?

edit: im an awful pup, i thought stats were determined by head+frame not just frame :E

Craklaw is pretty easy too with SC+MB

Something isn't right here. On a starter mob with 6INT, you'd be getting 120dmg from 94INT, not 150. Something is missing from this description, need more information. Optimization merits? Attachments?


Optimization merits have this lining up perfectly, but imply a bonus of 38MAB which is a strange number and would lead me to suspect that it's magic affinity rather than MAB. To ascertain which it is, we need more tests with more magic attack bonus added on.

Day bonus - iceday blizz 1st, then lightningday > thundar

[Prothescar]

difference is too small for that

[umisame]

I checked BG Delve rewards, i see many paths in "Upgrade Paths". Can i choose pet path for Bokwus set armor or only for smn staff?

[Karbuncle]

Paths are item specific and vary.

Recently they changed flashy shot with this update, Has anyone tried using it on delve Nms Post rage to see if it helps in any way?

That's not in the update notes. Also the merit point description are the same... so yeah should work the way it always does. If they are indeed lvling up yes that one shot/ws would get a boost and would actually prove that they lvld up.

What about other geo spells... like say the gravity one?

Formed another alliance of BLU/THFs - this time for Faded Craklaw (Tier I) in Foret
PLD BRD WHM RDM BLU/THFx13 SAM/THF (ls friend)

BRD, WHM, RDM were all there to support PLD only.
Was not sure how well SA benthic would do on it.

I opened with AZ + CA + EF + SA + Benthic, and it did ~2000 ... so I was like, oh crap in for a long fight ...
Next SA benthic also did 2000, so was not sure what happened first time, damage was about the same as gnat.

We were making steady progress on taking its HP off, tick by tick, then something strange happened.

A blu's benthic did ~10000 - he took hate from pld for a while, until another blu SATA the pld.
Then, another blu did ~12000 benthic
Then, a blu did a ~22000 benthic
Then, I did a 55900 benthic
Hate got a little crazy for a while, but its HP dropped so fast we didnt care.

It obviously take extra damage under some circumstance - did not figure out the pattern it may be random.

We killed it in 10 minutes well before rage.

[Chamaan]

Decided to just take a picture for proof. Pay no attention to the gimpy melee skill.

[fantasticdan]

Kinda sucks it doesn't boost hp/mp.

[Mosquiton]

kinda figured the results based on the other melee earring set, but just tested the new dual wield set and can confirm it is 7% for dudgeon/heartseeker

[Gippo]

Krabakarpo's venom shower is every 20% from 80-0 if it hasn't already been said

Tried to farm bead, 0/7 on Matamata, anyone having more luck ?

[Cambion]

Spoiler: show

Took a while to figure out which areas were the entrance but I managed to make some progress on maps (NOT yet completed). The Ceizak portion is pretty much set I'm just not 100% sure where the border of that east tunnel is. First section of Morimar is done, but only a bit of Foret. If the walls aren't shown it's because I'm not sure if there is one so feel free to give feedback on walls etc. Keep in mind that this is a composite map (thanks to Slycer) so you can't really use it in reference to X-Y positions in game. All the little parts are broken up amongst like 25 in-game maps and they almost all take place on H-# or G-# grids. So telling your party you're at H-7 is pretty useless because every map is gonna be at H-7.



You can probably tell just by looking at that Ceizak sucks for farming plasm, it's extremely long and the mobs are far apart making long inefficient pulls. Morimar is the best area to farm plasm because the first section is one big room with a small side room with mobs. Foret is second best and has a few more mobs not as far apart as Ceizak.

Does anyone know what the gimmick for Kurma is? Having a bit of trouble downing it.

[Helel]

Problem with chapuli is not that he counters weapon skills with meditation (he doesn't, as far as I could tell), but that his evasion seems to increase with every weapon skill. I think for ceizak, you'd want to lock chapuli, gnat, and scorpion.

Do shadows prevent the stun from earthbreaker (scorp AoE stun+dmg move if dot is not on)? That stun is extremely annoying.
