[Pirian]

I've gotten a ton that I didn't even know I was waiting on.

[hyoton]

By my estimate, for next magicite (water weak), I'm going to need 400 ish thunder orbs...

So i did a thing on reddit today, because work was a little slow. Oops.

COMMENTARY: I wanted to do something different with Luzaf while playing to Corsair’s dual role in FFXI as both a buffer and potential damage dealer. In looking at Rem’s unique niche within the game, I thought Luzaf could take advantage of the Corsair’s unique stat needs (Agility and Magic Accuracy) to make him a Physical/White Magic damage hybrid without being versed in the White Mage school itself.

His Brave may be a little much, but I think it balances out relying on the surety of the buffs but still having a random chance that Odin will pop out and deliver the usual Overflow hit like other Brave USB’s.
Some of his party buffs allow him an additional boost to party performance with unique buff ID’s without overdoing it. The big buffs are focused solely on him, allowing him to function in a mixed team like many other hybrid characters do.
I also think his glint is a little underrated, but is fair when considering limited uses. Combine it with his trance LM, and he can do Corsair things very quickly.

Shit, this FFV banner looks so good. Going to suck trying to resist pulling Bartz needs to be fed more relics

Crap on a crap cracker. Rem is busted.

21 hit arcane, awakening is doublecast Holy element + high quickcast cycle + unlimited holy element hones, glint is instant en-holy stack and refresh 1 SB gauge.

Sadly, Eight is stuck in ice monk like Snow and Cater is a mix of Edgar machinist and Squall USB1. Eight seems to get a TGM for Monk on his LM2 along with a 50% Atk boost - pretty self sufficient.

[Alkar]

Rem is gonna have instant cast with her Awakening+USB1 lol, that's insane. On top of Triplecasts that is.

[hyoton]

wow pecil's dive is GARBAGE

[Alkar]

TG Cid Awakening: 15 ST Holy/Dark/NE critical phy, Critical Chance +100%, Gathering Storm, Thunder God Awakening Mode, Break Damage Cap Level 1
Thunder God Awakening Mode: Unlimited Knight or Darkness Hones, Knight or Darkness Ability Boost, Dualcast Knight or Darkness

And his Arcane is a 20+1 type.

His ability double from USB won't stack with this though so there's no point in stacking them.

[Pirian]

wow that's not a power creep, that's a power sprint

[kuronosan]

You might even say it's an insane...bolt.

[Pirian]

I hope you feel ashamed of yourself for that

FWP - Getting Tidus USB threw out my Ice Crystal calculations out the window. Was only going to do R4 Dark Leviathian, Chain Waterja, and Stormspell strike. I'm about 90 short to R4 Sapphire Blitz.

[Pirian]

meh wasn't paying attention to where I was posting

[Pirian]

Is the newest event bugged or am I missing something? Killing the bombs reports no damage delivered towards the goal

[kuronosan]

I think it's bugged.

[synistar]

You need to do as much damage as possible to a bomb then RW

[kuronosan]

Fucking duh.... Jesus.

Do as much damage as you can without killing the bomb, then use RW.
