Delve 2.0 discussion

[Prothescar]

The base stats alone are very slightly better than an HQ killedar's. The addition of a small amount of MDT along with the same amount of PDT is an added bonus. Expensive in comparison, though.

[Aramaic]

Got a rinda shield, and dumped 6 +2's into it. Final augments (Path A) were:
{1} HP +75
{2} VIT + 7
{3} Physical Damage Taken: -3%

not sure if better than killedar (still working on ochain, fuck my life)

I am working on B path will let you know Stats when I get it high enough. Rank 6 on B path is 30 Hp and Vit 1 willing to bet it ends in -3MDT

[gairaiden]

anyone got the stats for the C paths for xaddi and artiseiq gear yet?

[Ramzii]

been doing marjami, don't know what's been posted of this so far:

boss takes double damage when aura is off (shots went from 500->1000)
something causes apkallu to take increased damage? shot went from 500->600->700->capped at 1000->back down to 750 after a bit

anyone know what causes the damage bump on harpy? pld has gotten face rolled with scherzo every single fight (he's not taru either)

i think for the harpy its either dont use any WS on it + do blizzard dmg, or there needs to be a balance between blizzard dmg vs physical damage. 1 RNG shooting + 1 SCH nukeing = everything fine. As soon as all 3 RNGs were on it, its WS moves went straight up to obliterate our PLD.

[NynJa]

Damage on TP moves seems to spike up if your melees WS while it readies TP.

Seeing as how it only takes one instance to disprove something:

[18:56:40]Solarx starts casting Cure V on Nynja.
[18:56:41]Solarx casts Cure V.
[18:56:41]Nynja recovers 1107 HP.

[18:56:52]Solarx starts casting Cure VI on Graf.
[18:56:53]Leder starts casting Cure IV on Graf.
[18:56:54]Podarge starts casting Silencega.

Unless Dominico's WS 2 seconds prior to it reading it is what caused the fuckery.

It should have slightly better block rate and slighlty more dmg blocked per hit just from base stats. The augments are just icing. Very curious what the other paths will be though especially C since it's the oddball. If only I had enough plasma to get it lol

[Ramzii]

Ircinraq - what fuck do about evasion? this thing is nearly giving us floored evasion and the hate reset from dream flower is awful

[sahearniitth]

Had the same issue with the Coli not reflecting spells back in the field version. Cycled through every nuke/enfeeb (other than silence) a RDM and GEO could do and nothing changed over 2 pops.

Had done 2 Colibiri inside fracture earlier over different game days and had no issues getting it to reflect so either the field version on our server is messed up (same server as Aramaic) or there is something that can keep it from going into reflect mode. We powered through the DT on a message pop and beaded the coli on the next run we did in fracture so don't know if the fracture version also has developed issues.

[Malithar]

Had a fracture run the other night that had that issue with Colibri, however it seemed to fix itself after about 30-40 seconds. No idea what caused it. Was in a pug too, leader was bitching at me to cast lol.

[chichicha]

Does cast an Ancient Magic to it make the vulnerable period longer? And stun while it's almost done casting?

[Damane]

Does cast an Ancient Magic to it make the vulnerable period longer? And stun while it's almost done casting?

I cast impact on it, gives ALOT of time to damage it, and impact doesnt do much damage when reflected. no idea how damaging ancient spells are when reflected.

Do you have logs for the whole fight? I may have been unclear, the increase in damage seems to be cumulative based on either how many times or how much damage was dealt with WS while it readies a TP move over the course of the entire fight. Our experience with Podarge has gone:

- DDs WS indiscriminately, PLD gets oneshot by either Wings of Woe or Shrieking Gale near the end of the fight, usually around 15-3%
- DDs stopped WS during TP moves, PLD is never in danger from 100-0.

If you're using RNGs as your main DD Podarge is weak enough that you could just white damage it from 100-0 and not lose too much time, a typical VD Ark Angel PLD+RNG setup is likely good enough to clear Marjami with 10-15 minutes to spare.

[Brees]

Beads are common enough to just farm up one or two, especially of the troublemaker mobs, and make the run alot easier.

Yeah was just kinda hoping not to have to bead any zones. We tried several IV's yesterday in chances of a bead with no luck. We'll try more today. May just end up doing this one with 10 to cover damage phases rather than our usual 6-7. Any idea on bead rates?

[Toth]

Did anyone find out what Tinhapsi's third sets of augments were?

Ircinraq - what fuck do about evasion? this thing is nearly giving us floored evasion and the hate reset from dream flower is awful

Full accuracy sets and double mads, we've gotten to 85%+ accuracy on this now, i even reach 95% with bravura and bloodrain, but usually don't swap from conq. I beleive my primary accuracy with mads, sushi, ionis, and gear was 1191 using bravura, that gave me 95% accuracy. I don't think were doing anything beyond that, voking after hate reset is usually enough to bring it back.

Edit: We bring a BLM to yorcia runs, hes got mythic staff and he wins the parse on this mob anyway.

[Draylo]

We bring one too, seems to do respectable dmg. SMN did some pretty nice burst dmg too, saw 11k flame crush on the treant mob and regular 5k~ meteor strikes.

[doctorugh]

Club (rank 7) = MAB 6, INT 2, MP 14 (path A)

Path B showing Macc

Path C showing Acc (could be interesting?)

riverfin soup is a solid upgrade. fudo wrecks. consistently around 5k with spikes up to 8
