Aegis

[Lithiani]

I wonder if Dia is short for anything...

Someone also once said Ul' and Om' was short for Ultima and Omega, though that seems a little far fetched to me.

Probably not. How do they explain Eo Aw Ix Qn and Ru?

I've always presumed Ru' had some important meaning in the Zilartian language... they certainly liked their prefixes anyway.

Yeah, I don't think Ultima and Omega have anything to do with it, since it doesn't make sense. lol

Though I did hear there was some meaning behind Dia. I forget what, though.

8-1 NMs are Ru'Aerns.
JLo summons Ru'Phaubos.

I would guess the Ru' prefix is pretty important.

Boo'aerns

Are they saying "Boooo" or "Boo'aerns?"

I almost shot soda outta my nose.

[Demetrick]

Boo'aerns

Did you say "Boo-aerns" or Burns?

edit: DAMMIT i'm too slow

You missed Ru'Aun as well.

The other prefixes I can think of off the top of my head are Al', Ro', Li', Zi', Tu', Ve', Qu', La', Hu', Fei' and Pso' (in addition to Eo', Aw', Ix', Qn' and Ru' mentioned above).

What does it mean? Probably nothing, but the Zilart liked their apostrophes.

I was saying Boo'Aerns.[/hansmoleman]

I think that the Aegis is pretty solid, and I'm sure some of the other DD relics are also effective in certain instances, but i think that the horn has the most utility overall for an HNM LS (which are usually where these relics will primarily be used).

The ideal goal of an HNM LS is to defeat a monster as quickly as possible(usually, sometimes slow kills for fafnir or whatever are good). Therefore, I'd argue that in an 18 person alliance their will always be room for a BRD with a relic horn, against just about any monster, in the ideal "kill this monster as fast as possible" scenario. However, I dont know if PLD would be the ideal tank for all HNM, WAR prolly better on fafnir because faster DD, better on stuff like Jailer of Justice, which is all about the fast kill, or many of the inside ix'aern.

Similarly, even if you have a pld/war tanking with relic shield, i think that the extra mp refresh on him 2WHM a rdm and another pld (and the brd) could provide healing necessary to make up for the increased dmg that PLD would take over a pld/war with aegis, of course the only catch to this would be if the pld is dying before he could be cured, but that is very rarely the case anymore, perhaps only in very unlucky scenarios with Tiamat mighty strikes etc.

I dont think that the horn or any other relics are key to beating any particular NM, but i certainly dont think that Aegis is the "best item in the game", if anything id prefer horn if my LS could only have one. And i dont think the horn is the best item in the game either.

People at SE now just randomly hit their keyboard and say "yeah, thats a good name for an enemy."

Its funny that if you listed a mob in sea or a gilsellers name, I'd be hard pressed to choose which is which.

[Sheeny]

Not that I'm not a stickler for spelling/grammar myself, BUT... wasn't it called Regan in the early FF games?

[shinobi_tabi]

i think it is a popular rl name...maybe i am thinking different spelling, but same sound...i know someone named Dea, or maybe it was Dia....

Va Xi Aten Ha Ra!@!!

lol if anyone played eq you'd remember luclin had way more fucked up names =) gg vex thal

[safer]

Zer (Leader of a JP LS in my server) solo tanked Cerberus /WAR using Aegis..ate 2 GoH too and lived, its jaw dropping.

I think by far Aegis is the most powerful piece of equipment in FFXI.


P.S: sexy Screenshots.

its not hard to take low damage on GoH, last cerb i was at, our nin/pld's took like 200 from a stray GoH....

definatly dont need an aegis for it :wink:


as for weird SE names:
Stcemqestcint is just beyond retarded

[Kurohyou]

I'm going to demand people call me Ku'rohyou from now on

Stcemqestcint is probably the god of pronouncability in some eurasian culture. From the same pantheon as Metsanhaltija and Metsanneitsyt. All lead by the great god of literacy, Ulagohvsdi Tlugvi.

I wouldn't be surprised, you know how much SE likes to borrow from mythology.

Metsanhaltija and Metsanneitsyt. All lead by the great god of literacy, Ulagohvsdi Tlugvi

Sounds like ancient finnish.

and uh
Dia is spanish for day >.> that's what I've always related it to since in the original ff it was an anti-undead spell.

I thought that was Harm? I don't recall Dia being in FF1.

They changed Harm to Dia when they redid FF1 for the PlayStation
