ToAU Shortcomings

[NynJa]

it's like Bune in that people will pretty much kill it every time it's up, but most people won't camp it.

most people will cap out on Algol fairly quickly. and you don't camp hours of the day for material on a 95 synth HQ that's marginally better than existing gear.

my old LS stuck a mule at Cerb's pop area to see when it would spawn, I think the local zerg LS threw a mule there too, though I'm not too certain.

[Tarukiss]

Algol is quite possibly the best DRK GreatSword in the game, short of possibly Subduer/Balin's being better

Since when exactly do people give a fuck about drk's, let alone drk's using GSD ??

Ground Strike can participate in all the useful SC that people use
on HNM. It has respectable dmg output on as well, especially
at 300% TP, so I could see a few people interested in having it around.

Not to mention Souleater being good DoT on anything in the game that can be hit.

there are a lot of times when I would use NQ Cerb mantle over Amient/Foragers, but mabye thats just me.

I'm not my HNMs main tank, so I don't forsee getting a HQ anytime in the near future. but I'd still be really thankful when the NQs start to trickle down to me.

It's superb as RDM/DRK in the mine Assault mission. I popped souleater on the first rock and my hits went from 1 to 3 and only took 100 dmg per swing.


lol, yes it's true...i had to try

...ok ok anything you can hit that doesnt have phys dam-%. So not good on slimes/walls/jailer of fortitude. Yes good on most other things. Gawd. You should see a DRK souleater+daggering crabs in the weapon weak appolyon. Its quite hysterical (as in 200+ damage at dagger speed.)

[NynJa]

I was under the impression that souleater was irresistable damage, other than being nullified from invincible.

[Maxxthepenguin]

It pierces VIT, Def, etc etc but, for example, a defending ring will reduce it. Very few HNMs have phys dam down though (suzaku on slashing and smashing is all I can think of atm), so its all good.

[Ryko]

Jailer of fortitude, Proto-omega when on 4 legs, etc will resist souleater too.

[Raineer]

I was just kiddin you about the application of souleater... But yeah in case anyone wanted to try that's the results I got on the rock. Joy + souleater "tripled" my output to 3 per swing.

[wartortle]

Souleater also stinks on the Galka in the 60cap 3man Racial ENM.

[layoneil]

my old LS stuck a mule at Cerb's pop area to see when it would spawn, I think the local zerg LS threw a mule there too, though I'm not too certain.

after the LS maxes out on Algol and the novelty of killing a new HNM wears off, that mule is either going to be moved or a total waste of $1 a month.

no way you're going to get 18 people up for killing that 6 months from now every single time it pops.

You would be supprised...

Why are people still raping Tiamat? It drops a toy boots very rarely.

What does Cerb drop? A great weapon very often. In addition, unlike gaiters it's rare/ex. Capping out on it will be faster (plus my ls has alot less war/drk then they do whm/smn/blm/mnk). Will people still kill cerb? Yeah sure. Will people rape it with 5 ls mules and rush it when it pops 6 months? Unlikely.

[Krandor]

Unless selling Cerberus Bows or Mantles ends up as a good source of gil for some LSs down the road, I'm sure Cerberus will end up this way.

I could see my LS getting 3 or 4 Algols (for our 2 DRK mains then maybe a few WARs or PLDs), then after that you're really just killing it for mantles or the tiny chance you HQ the bow and it actually becomes worth a damn ._.

[XxSlusherxx]

I think more mele want the mantle than you think, I think it's safe to assume hide is 100% but I think the NQ mantle will be more popular than you expect.

[Krandor]

I personally wouldn't be to keen on killing Cerb over and over again to save some of our melees a few bucks so they can get a backpiece with less attack then Forager's with an Enmity boost they won't need 95% of the time <_<

Yus, and seeing as Cerb Mantle NQ is not really significantly better than existing gear, unless your LS leader really really wants a HQ I don't see any motivation to keep killing after you max on algols.

Plus, nobody cares about getting gear for drks. Mage, nin, pld, war plz. The rest of the jobs are Just There.

Regarding AF:

So you mean they wanted to wait to see what stats to put on the AF by seeing how players play the job than making useless AF? Like NIN, BRD, BLM and WHM Feet, DRK, SMN Body and head, RNG hands, THF head. Damn you SE DAMN YOU!!
