[14:21:30]Ihina readies Mercy Stroke.
[14:21:31]Ark Angel MR uses Larceny.

Was a very easy win with this set up. I died at the very start from a triple proc barrage and lost SV songs and it still went pretty fast. Ranged accuracy seemed fine with SV preludes.

•Charm can miss.
•Summons a black mandy in very hard instead of tiger. Mandy can cast Bindga and Quake. ES lullaby worked, but I couldn't land it w/o ES(didn't have many attempts, though).
•QQQQ mats aren't 100% from very hard.
•Ark Mithra Maligner title.

Will report on what vestige does when I find out what it's for/does.

It was in the update notes. It's used for one of the new jugs

Stole Invincible immediately.

MNK did 100fist, didn't steal because she was on the PLD, but stole right away once the MNK stole hate.

Depressing.

[Martel]

Note: Charm "missed" because I had fealty up. I assume it misses rather that says "Resist" because it's a JA.

I've had fealty cause charm to have a what appeared to be half duration before.

Actually sounds kinda neet. Kinda refreshing that instead of just making even more dickish moves or stupid stats on the mobs they are considering making better AIs

[Ihina]

Anyways,

433 dagger skill
242 dagger skill (main and offhand weapon)
234 dex (175acc)
107 acc in gear
No food

SV Blade Madrigal w/ g-horn

90.59% accuracy on elvaan normal diff

Should be 838acc before songs. 924.25 accuracy after songs. I'm guessing somewhere in the area of 895 to 900 total evasion.

Died, did Blade Madrigal w/ harp with sole sushi, got 91.79% accuracy. About 200 sample each time and didn't get flashed.

[mdkuser]

mithra coudl always pop a black mandy @ lv 75 too btw. it does that on normal and tough as well.

We did this on just difficult and it also summoned black mandy, when it started to resist sleeps and lullabys from sch(me) and the brd, i just nuked it down and it resummoned a tiger instead. Which means when they become immune to sleep, you can just kill them and get a new one.

Edit: Or just kill it till you get tiger so you can ignore it if its on the PLD.

[EjinCaitsith]

Good to know. That was our first time ever seeing mandy after doing 4-5 normal/hard BCs.

[mdkuser]

when mithra reaches low HP the pets will resist sleep even if it is freshly poped (lullaby lasts like 3 seconds). They have almost no HP anyway even in hard mode, die in 1 WS.

Also Divine might very easy mode is 6-mannable, will do it tomorrow. you dont have to redo the 5 figth to get another KI apparently

[Tachi]

We did Ark Angel GK on Very Difficult with MNK/NIN x3, WHM, BRD, SMN. Melees had only 20% PDT to trigger Scherzo+EA (no Mantra rotation). All Tachi WSs were doing 100-200 damage rather than 1500-2,200 with over 40% PDT, very easy fight. Dropped Lurid Mitts on Difficult.

[Ophannus]

EV is annoying as hell, even on normal mode. Had 1xOatixur MNK, 1xGungnir DRG, 1zSpharai MNK, 99duraBRD, 90Ochain PLD, WHM. Dominion Slashes for 400-1600 every 15ish seconds, catches you off guard when she uses it while you're in WS gear/JA gear, towards the end of the fight (last 25%) DDs and PLD lost hate to WHM(due to Elvaan spamming high dmg AoEs for 10min) and WHM died. Even with Scherzo and Fulltime DT gear, her attack power seems pretty high for just normal. I would have expected Normal mode Angels to be as hard as a Delve NM. I would have thought that fulltiming DT gear would be something meant for Difficult/Very Difficult, not normal. Considering Elvaan has the most HP and Durability, I'm guessing she's the hardest of the 5, cuz if she didnt have Bene or Invinc, she would have died. Seems more like a slow, steady survival fight compared to other Angels which can be killed relatively quickly in normal.

[mdkuser]

This one drop is apparently new? nothing on FFXIDB.
