Mission and Quest Info Gathering [no spoilers plz]

[Tajin]

Cant sleep gears, they hit hard, AoE moves + Gravity, have to keep alive the NPC. OH and NPC loves to wake up the BLU when there is 1 or 2 gears still alive, unless the BLU is somewhat far away from battle.


Id love to see a trio of this fight though.

Sounds nasty.
Assuming these Gears behave like Salvage gears, and the BC is large enough, would it be possible for one person with Movement+% to kite them all away as the other two kill the boss? Does the first group of gears despawn after the second is poped? Will the NPC always attack the boss or is she likely to attack the gears as well? Otherwise, it seems rather grim.

Those rings suck ass. .. I'm leveling Cor and/or rng to 75 just to make one of the rewards decent.

Please explain how Accuracy+6 Attack+3 is OMGFUCKINGAMAZING but Accuracy+4 Attack+4 (Acc+8 Att+8 in Salvage) sucks ass.

It's because you can simply buy something better. unlike divisor which slightly edges out sniper+1 /toreador.
Also you seem to be assuming I even have a 2 handed job levleed. I'ma thf in a salvage shell with al the other thf having a job more useful to the shell. whoop dee doo about a peice of gear i'm not allowed to touch the cell to unlock on account of the main weapon for me to use being gimp for treasure hunter.

[BRP]

Am I the only one who thinks people who think they suck are crazy? Or am I biased because I love assault and it's something I do constantly for fun?

Eh, idk about you but I get rings/earrings in pretty much every area of Salvage. And I'd rather have 4 attack over 3 accuracy, my sniper's+1 is going on the AH.

Gears can be kited, if you are fast enough, whoever hits the BLU first (BLM using sleep or PLD with flash, etc) is jumped right away by the gears, so it is possible to kite them. The NPC randomly attacks one of the gears or the BLU (if you sleep the BLU npc will attack a gear). Maybe with lots of hipots and heavy DDs is possible to kill the gears faster.

Keep in mind the 3rd form is a soulflayer and will most likely use that Bio/Poison move of 20HP/tick or whatver. its been a while since i merited on those things.

[Judai]

I don't have sniper's+1 so the acc/atk one will replace my nq sniper. If I did enough Salvage or even used my BLM there I would think about the Refresh ring, which is hax for Assault areas. Overall though, the rings are disappointing imo.

Assailants ring+1?

I was mostly just being pissed off at how helping gimps who didnt buy thier sniper's rings seems to be the main effect of the TAU rewards. I'm going to ask my rng and cor freinds later if they think that the raac ring is rmotely decent.
The magic ring seems decent for mages enfeebling or the refresh effect alone will make them happy. In salvage where magic acc vs chariot is low( last i heard) the mages will love it at least.
It's just.. very dissapointing that none of the rings actually do anything that you can already cant buy from AH except maybe the mage ring. at least with zilart, cop rewards people actually had a chioce aka sams actually could choose bushi as the smart chioce provided they never level nin or war and make it thier main job. With this update it's well... noone looks at these things and thinks all these missions were worth it.( cue TAU missions are all cutscenes joke)

I know. Next time just tell everyone not to complain about how hard CoP missions were, and then we might not be disappointed

[Khajit]

Dont look at me. I always thought they were perfect when i went through the parts i've done so far pre-supernerf.
The only thing truly hard about em was getting people together to stay together long enough for the mission and making them be prepared. If you had any skill at all you could complete the mission after 1-2 test/dry runs.

[Dammerung]

The rewards reflected the difficulty of the missions.

someone record fight i wanna hear teh music

I assume this is the final boss music. They ninja'd the song into the .dat's a few updates ago. Sounds pretty sweet.

Yep, thats the final battle music. The opening of the music is the transition scene between the first and second part of the battle... friggen epic.

Am I the only one who thinks people who think they suck are crazy? Or am I biased because I love assault and it's something I do constantly for fun?

Wait, you mean that items with assault bonuses carry over to Dynamis, Lumbus, Ground Kings, Sky, Sea, Einherjar, Wyrms, NM farming, and Merits now? AWESOME!

Otherwise it is clutter 90-99% of the time most people play the game.

Thanks so much for doing that. ^_^

On another note, has anyone been disgusted enough with the rings to toss them out and see if you can rechoose?

Mana burned the blu's 3rd stage, had blu self sc and mbd, control wiped and rrd at 50%, and then burned it down in the last 10 min.

Maybe for the elite players, but the melee ring is an upgrade over my Woodsman, so until I farm up the gil for a Toreador's or get a Divisor it's an upgrade for me, Assault situations are just a nice bonus.

Random: did everyone get the same owing tally from Naja in the Glory Crown cs? For instance, I owe her 98,000 Imp Golds before "accumulated interest".

I actually lol'd when he fainted, too.

[BRP]

Wiped at 1%, I was safe to RR, so I killed it with Shock. Fun times! Man, that cure WS is the worse.
