rdm/nin solo

Ice Spikes and grab a coffee?

Double You

[Eraphiel]

I've wanted to do that, but what do you do when you are done fighting and want to walk away alive?

The next pic in my screenshot folder is all of them killing themselves against blaze spikes I started including in the rotation.
Took about a half hour for them to kill themselves, though you could just refresh your buffs (stoneskin/phalanx) and /logout. Takes 'em a good long while to break a full stoneskin when hits do 0-3dmg past phalanx.

[edit]: Like this~

How's Evisceration compared to Savage Blade.

I think they both suck lol. Savage looks cooler though >.>;
I dual joytoy/misiercorde, usually mis in offhand, if I'm /nin. I swap em around sometimes when I'm bored. Somehow I never managed to get a Genbu's shield...I'm like the guy in my ls with an aegis and no m. head (lolol)...

[Eddie]

Yeah I was talking to Popeh and one of my other buddies about trioing Genbu.

Hey, something to do right!

[Medivac]

anyone want to duo it?

For the mandragora skill-up thing, I usually just /logout when I'm done. Put up Stoneskin and Ice Spikes first and its pretty easy to last the 30 seconds to get logged out. One funny thing I noticed while doing that was that shield can actually proc while your kneeling lol.

The most mandies I ever had safely was around 11, any more than that and it usually led to a wipe.

Thats just with /WAR though, I hear /BLU is even better.

Hmmm... It sounds like it would be fun to try...

whats the best way to cap out parrying and shield skill? best way i can think is lvl pld

[Raineer]

I levelled shield from 140 to cap in about 5 hours once my /BLU was high enough for the crab defense boost. I remember sitting at ~790 defense ,with phalanx and stoneskin you can double/triple-team the pucks in Den of Rancor to skill up very quickly.

I did the exact same thing with Parry, just use earth staff and the same +DEF/+HP gear. +Parry gear seemed to help procs as well. Parry, however, still takes decades to skillup.

How high can a team of Caedarva chigoes take your shield/parrying?

[Raineer]

How high can a team of Caedarva chigoes take your shield/parrying?

iirc, it was pretty high, within 10 or so of cap. I heard rumblings that people capped off them but I never saw it proven (nor did I know anyone that did)

Our parry and shield caps are fairly low, so it is believable.

[Eddie]

Anytime I go through mire and I have a shield I pop it on and usually always get a skill. They hardly damage RDM too.

I'd really like to skill parry with my RDM though, so when i'm on SAM and emergency tank it's not so bad. So is the best way to skill parry doing that defense setup and let mandies have fun?

[Scythiroth]

I'm glad I levelled BLU now since my PLD is level 1. Might have to try these out sometime.

My shield skill on WHM crapped out about 195ish on them.

[Raineer]

Absolutely, just use an Earth Staff and go to town.

[Medivac]

all fun and games till 900 mandys aggro in the bayoda tree and kill you just as all ur friends go by. how embarassing

[Eddie]

lol sweeet. I do wanna lvl blu though, heard it's pretty fun sub

[Fistandantilus]

Just wondering, why would Mandy/Puk be better than Chigoe's? Also, just getting Rdm to 75 so never played around with solo much, but Evasion gear totally worthless, or is it a situational thing where I should have eva torque and other gear on me, just not use them a whole lot?
