Trusts

[scaevola]

Yeah, I thought it was pretty uncontroversial that Amchuchu was the best tank trust, since the PLDs don't have any of the gear that makes PLD good, Amchuchu has higher damage, and she isn't reliant on MP to hold hate through longer fights.

But I can't resist:

Called him out along with healer/support trusts, popped NM's

dogg how long have you been playing ffxi and you still don't recognize tarutaru naming conventions

[JeanPaul]

Many of the WotG limited-time trusts will just use a WS at 1000%. Ferreous Coffin, for instance, will only use Randgrith (Light/Frag) and will do so the instant he gets enough TP. Similar behavior with Elivira (RNG with Annihilator), Noillure (SAM with Amano), and Lhu Mhakaraca (BST with Guttler).

Honestly, I never even thought about it for some reason. Started in Windurst years ago, and only ever skimmed the taru dialogue because it was annoying. I just saw the viking hat and greatsword and made the sexist thought she was a male. Obvious now that I spend 5 seconds thinking about the hyphenated names vs the repeating syllables.

[Mertron]

men get two names, women only get one

damn the patriarchy

[Hitou]

One thing about Amchuchu that's annoying is her penchant for dying 10 seconds into a BC fight like Ouryu where breath can 1 shot her before buffs are up. Since trusts don't have AI not to stand dead center it's nearly impossible to position her, and the other trusts for that matter, not to take full breath damage. Even the avatars like to melt her face before she has runes up with a BP sometimes. Makes me wish trusts could cast pro/shell outside of battle.

Trusts that engage run in a beeline towards the mobs they fight when you engage. For Ouryu, you can just walk slightly around him before you engage.

Amchuchu getting nuked by avatars is a problem though, yeah.

How much complaining do we need to do before SE unfucks support trust AI?

Theres no logical reason to have them prioritize curing as lowest priority instead of highest other than "fuck you lololol"

So tired of dying randomly because Im expecting trusts to start curing me any second now, and instead I get haste and phalanx and madrigal while my hp slowly drops.

[Fwahm]

I've never had a problem unless I was relying on Koru-Moru to be my main healer instead of a white mage. I've actually encountered the opposite problem, when Apururu gets stuck spamming Cure I when she's incredibly low on mp and has refresh, instead of using Nott.

Apururu seems to have a really low cure threshold. Often seen her cure IVing me when I'm still in the white when she does have other things she could be casting

I've never had a problem with Apururu's heals. Other NPCs will throw out Cure 4's when you get yellow but Apururu stays on top of it unless she's tapped on mp.

Not sure what you are trying to say in response to what I said...

Oh Im just agreeing with you. She's better at keeping me alive instead of curing when everyone else tries to cure.

[Trumpy]

wait is curing not the best way to keep you alive?

Best way to stay alive is not leave your mog house!!!

But sometimes prioritizing curing when HP is still high might not be the best

[The Assman]

Karaha seems to have high cure priority (though seemingly low self-cure priority). He prioritizes it over WS/SC and doesn't do much else (Protectra/Shellra, only hastes the person that summoned him, reactionary barelementra, and status removals) so that usually results in him curing on time. Of course he has his flaws (namely Howling Moon AoE and interrupting player SCs).

[Ligray]

Robel-Akbel
Uses Null Blast, Quietus Sphere, and Spirit taker. Casts Blizzard/Thunder I-V. Has auto-refresh and does interact with Karaha.

[The Assman]

He also interacts with Kayeel, but not the Star Sibyl, Lehko, or any other Windurst trust.

Also, I'm sure him saying Jeuno instead of Windurst is a mistake?

EDIT:
Quietus Sphere -> Howling Moon (Karaha) = Darkness
Null Blast -> Lunar Bay = Gravitation

Robel MB'd Stoneja off of both on uragnites. On Earthsday so maybe that's why.

Seems to wait for Karaha to have 1000 TP before using WS, even if it's Spirit Taker. Cuts down on casting if he has hate.

[stamos]

Null blast seems to be mystic boon equivalent with SC properties. Has decent occult acumen as well.

In my limited testing with him, it seemed like he'll attempt to magic burst any time there is a skillchain as long as it's possible to burst what he believes is appropriate to cast. He seemed to ignore skillchains that didn't allow him to use what he wanted.

[Teryu]

So best blm 5ever sounds like.
