Diabolos[This Way]

[Xavier]

What are the items you can choose once you kill him? or is it just Diabolos only?

The rewards, outside of Diablos himself, look kinda gay. His bps seem pretty cool though.

[Demetrios]

The earring is decent, the +3 accuracy earring obtained from garrison goes for 3-4 mil on my server.

I tested some of the BPs with a 75SMN friend.

Noctoshield seems to absorb roughly 20-25 damage.

Dream Shroud's Magic Attack Bonus added roughly 30 damage to Aero3.

Nether Blast did 400-500 damage.

The Gravity one did really low damage too.

Nether Blast did 400-500 damage.

Gay =(

The drain/aspir staff will be good for all mages(that sub blm) in dynamis zones due to the dark weather.

Nether Blast did 400-500 damage.

Gay =(

How is that gay? My Phalanx as a blm is only 12 or 13 damage absorbed. I dont think RDM can get more then 20 damage phalanxx.

[Xavier]

I was mainly talking about "Nether Blast did 400-500 damage."

The good thing about Nether is it doesn't fail when the mob is moving, so if you can't stop a kited mob, at least you can still hit it for half-decent damage.

Redemption. Does it work on mobs that are flying then too?

[Not Kuno]

It says in the description that it's ranged so probably yeah. But it's magical so it'll probably do 50% on wyrms.

[GRT]

how about perpetuation cost? how much is it? does dark staff reduce the cost?

[Rocl]

Dark Staff does nothing.

I dont know about the cost, I wasnt paying attention. I'll ask later.

[MisterBob]

my 27 SMN was losing 3 MP per tick, so i guess it would be 4 MP at that level then

[Helpoemer]

Dark Staff does nothing.

i was using him WHM/SMN with dark staff and he was 2/tic so dark staff DOES reduce perp cost

It may not. I read somewhere that Diabolos has cost -1 on Darkday.

[Lordwafik]

I was rdm/smn, Diabolos drained 0 with dalm + dark staff, my MP was constant. Light staff I was losing double MP than when I put on my joytoy and earth staff to test.

[Khamsin]

I checked his perp with and without pluto's staff.

He cost 3 more MP/tick with no staff, than when I had pluto's staff equipped.

Comparing him to other avatars, I found he costs the same as the celestial primes, with dark/pluto's reducing his perp by -2/-3.

Also, Nether Blast also did 500 damage for me too. The odd thing was, it did 500 to too weak, decent challenge, and a tough.

Anyone try to see if it does 500 damage on an IT or perhaps and IT++++?

Noble's equipped at the time?

[Chidorii]

1) Pluto staff reduce cost by 3. I am 100% sure... unless it had something to do with the moonphase/time/weather/zone whatever. Regardless at the moment i tested it, in sarubaruta i was getting -3 perpetuation cost.

2) 3x rdm 3x blm we won in 30 seconds and didnt get touched once.
In fact between paralyze and stun Mr. Diabolos never got to finish a single attack hahahahahaha...
He died before he could use Astral flow lol.
Between spamming to enter the BCNM, seeing Ext around (took him 2 tries) it was the most fun 10 minutes in FFXI i've had for a long time hah.
Oh well, now back to being bored... hehe

[SephYuyX]

BLM/37SMN

No special equip = 5/tick

Dark Staff + Black Cloak = 3/tick

On darksday = 2/tick
