Neck > Gorget
Hands > Heca
Waist > Warwolf
Ring2 > Me, tyvm

Would be pretty much my ideal setup there, you're loaded out on a silly amount of Acc right now it seems.

52 Gear Acc + 38 Dex (28~ Acc) + Aggressor + Hasso I assume = Dizzamn that's a lot of Acc.

What I suggested would be +4 Acc neck, -11 Acc Hands/Waist, +9 Dex, +7 Str... So 9 Dex is roughly 7 Acc, you'd end up with the same total Acc roughly, gain 9 Dex for crits, and trade 17 Att for 7 Str + the 10% fTp boost on the first hit of RR.


Though, the high acc loadout would make sense if you're not 8/8 Gaxe merits and feeling the hurt of not having 20 Acc on your weapon, and of course Lurkers/Wind Wall.

[RKenshin]

It's only enough accuracy to come close to cap when Aggressor is up, and while Aggressor is up most of the time I prefer not to build my set with reliance on it between stuff getting dispelled/paralyzed/etc. Same thing applies for Hasso.

Heca hands don't exist for my LS! And I'd probably prefer Ares if I could choose between the two anyway. But I don't think we've seen Byakko put out more than 2-3 heca hands in the last 2 years, and at this point I wouldn't lot over people that are using WAR far more often than I do anyway.

And yeah, I don't have GA merits. I'm 8/8 in GK and H2H. Which is mostly why I have such an odd mix 'n' match, as I'm trying to maintain decently high acc.

I've been considering getting my snow gorget out of storage as per recent test results with it, but still haven't yet. I need to stop being lazy and get it.

Man, we had a run when I was #2, and then #1 for Haidate where we got something like 8 Nhands, literally.

On the upside, yay for no competition when I got haidate, on the downside.... I just wanted Byakko to stop dropping fucking Nhands. T.T

[Rafike]

Interested to know what other peoples luck with having Mad Bomber pop is like...? I haven't done what I would call a "ton" of Salvage, but I would say I've done a fair bit and in the 10-15 runs of Bhaflau I have never seen it pop. Just curious as to others people experience.

[chapstick]

50/50, just bad luck.

how much mnk/DD would u suggest leaveing on LBC my group usually goes with 2 mnks only.

2 melee with the typical rdm+whm combo. More is rarely good in my experience (except for the SV zerg, or if someone have fanatics)

[hunterx]

ya our setup was MNK MNK THF RNG SAM/RNG WHM RDM BRD SCH BLM BLM had mnks go in 1st then thf rng sam ad blms start attackin at 90% it took 15 mins but we did ok just seeing i there was a faster way to kill it

[Kaylia]

You took 15min to kill nerfed chariot, or it wasn't nerfed? You're probably doing something wrong, because 2melee with 2h and brd can kill in ~10min.

Make sure you get str/vit cells from scrop (when possible), make sure most of your healer/brd/tank get all their gears and debuff it properly. If you killed slow because mp was an issue, just keep both mnk and both blm. Having to recast utsu ichi every times it's wiped will slow down your damage a lot.

[hunterx]

we only killed 8 gears that time and did not kill the chariot (we were on west wing) we had a little trouble on stat cell on the floor before becuse it did not ant to drop str or dex for the love of god.

We get str/vit cells ~9/10times in the first scorp room, you were unlucky I guess. 15 min is fine on an unnerfed chariots, but it's still long for a kill with 2 blm.

It's hard to pinpoint exactly what went wrong. Are your mnk properly geared? You could always add a 3rd melee since you have a scholar, but 5 melee on it is way too much.

[Zidiane]

What are the blms bursting on the chariot?

Hopefully Blizzard, followed by more blizzard? =p

[Zidiane]

One time when i had a pup come and experiment with his puppet, for the oddest reason Fire worked better on chariots from his puppet then blizzard. Tho the nukes were hardly near a blms dmg, but the hate reset was nice.

Usualy when on blm tho yeah, Bliz always, and fire if your timers are down. Fire hardly resists, but ice is much better. (A.k.a anything but thunder and water should work)

I've heard plenty of pups nukes being more reliable on certain mobs than blms. But obviously I have no idea as to how SE considers pups elemental skill magic, int, or whatever. Also ice nukes should be comparably more reliable if the blm has weapons unlocked.

Fire/ice resist are probably the same, excluding the 10 elemental on the staff. Shouldnt have to use fire in most circumstance tho.

Out of curiosity, what did you change in the strategy?

[hunterx]

we decided to just let every1 stay back but the 2mnks had War/sam and run in do a WS and run back then thf bolt it went down fast. We also had 2 revitilzers so we did hundred fist x2 so it went smooth ^^.

This flashes me back to early salvage LBC runs, when it first came out and we'd load up an alliance of 18 people and watch LBC proceed to wipe the alliance in about 45 seconds because of the AoE spam from 10 melee beating on it
