Dev Tracker: Discussion

[Teryu]

Quite a few T1s are soloable on various jobs with non-perfect gear, particularly during Trust campaigns.

Which ones? All the ones I try have been awful with SMN and BLU.

[Dotsudoku]

SCH and BLM have a particularly easy time of things, in my experience

[Teryu]

Well I mean I'm trying to get Herc hands/head and Merlinic hands/feet, are those NMs soloable with BLM SMN or BLU?

[Kyte]

They are, with Selkit probably being the easiest on BLU.

[Teryu]

What kind of strat do you use for him? I couldn't find anything about him on the BG wiki outside of horror stories of instadeaths.

[NynJa]

Arci2, teodor, healer, healer, gessho

Arci and teos attacks will trigger hell scissors. Hell scissors will reduce HP, but not kill (unless youre caught mid CDC with rancor mantle, fuck) and wipe enmity. It should never do any other TP moves, so no aoe poison or aoe slow. The enmity wipe should prevent it from attacking after doing hell scissors.

[Teryu]

Why Gessho instead of August?

[Dotsudoku]

The primary threat becomes a powerful single-hit attack that can be absorbed by utsusemi, if I had to guess

[Teryu]

Oh right, that makes more sense. I forgot August doesn't always have wings up 100% of the time.

[Byrthnoth]

Hell Scissors isn't absorbed by Utsusemi, but the following melee hits are. I just did about 10 Selkit with August tank and it also worked fine.

[Kincard]

Hell Scissors actually goes past shadows (but doesn't wipe them), using Gessho is probably just for insurance because his normal hits can be kinda painful when he's under Mighty Strikes.

Also maybe I'm just unlucky, but I find using Arciela etc. to force Hell Scissors is a very luck-based strategy. I've had several occasions where he just said fuck you and used something else anyway, and if you arn't healing yourself up after each Hell Scissors, an Earth Breaker means game over. Bring some antidotes just in case he does Venom Storm and your WHM decide to start herpaderping, you don't want to have an embarrassing fall to the ground after a Hell Scissors.

[NynJa]

Why Gessho instead of August?

Gessho has shadows, if selkit does HS on Gessho then on you before Gessho gets cured up, it could be death.

And yeah it is luck based sadly.

[Byrthnoth]

It's much less luck based on DNC with Fan Dance, because it affects Hell Scissors. Even if he does somehow manage to kill my tank, most of the time I take 500 damage or less from Hell Scissors.

[Toth]

Such an interesting message today. We never heard a peep from that mobile version in over a year lol

[Funkworkz]

I do not agree with the voidwatch change to be allowed to use stored stones instead of having to refill. People already insist on getting every proc possible during the max light campaigns, therefore this will cause the pop spots to be hogged by people never leaving the zone and refusing to party up.

[Jem]

Are any of the Reisenjima mobs soloable by a PLD or BST? Feel like I'm missing out on this campaign as I have zero Reisenjima pieces. Or can these free augments be easily/cheaply replicated?

[Teryu]

I'm wondering if they can be stocked up or if they stay after the day/event is over. I've just been blowing through them.

[Kincard]

The Free Dark Matter augments? Those are 6 per day, they don't transfer or anything.

The 6 free augments per day are likely to be junk, but it is kind of a waste to not use them since you might get lucky and end up having something cool. I'd say the easiest Reisenjima T1 to solo is the Corse, but you want a light dispel for that guy or else his nukes will do like a shitzillion damage.

Don't know what to think of the message from Matsui. Mostly things we already know, free week or whatever at the end of the month will be nice. Reminder of last chance for Xbox Achievement junkies to go unlock them, duh.

Personally, I'll take the possibility of some jackass hogging pop spots to himself forcing me to go do something else over needing to warp back to town every six fights. That time spent running around really adds up IMO.

Why would you bother getting any procs during max lights campaign?

[Kyte]

Because people are retards.
