Question about Uggalepih Pendant NM, is there any way to low-man this (Preferably 2-3 people) and if so what do I need to watch out for? I'm assuming kite/DoT would work, is any movement speed+ required to avoid anything?

a couple friends of mine used to duo this with rdm w/crimson and smn for bp damage
worked out quite well for them.
(they did it for the money and sold the drops)

How much HP does Proto-Ultima has? *cut*

Sorry for bumping.
No one knows?

I think it was 25k after some person did a parse on it but I'm not 100% sure on that...

omega is 25k, ultima is 50k according to kaekos blog

Lightning potency 1 2 3 4 5 Ice Potency 1 2 3 4 5 BurstII 1 FreezeII 1 then finish your AM2's as fits your playstyle (3burst 3freeze ftw)

I'd personally advise Freeze II first upgrade > Burst II first upgrade > the potency merits listed but going Ice 1/5 > Lgtn 1/5 > Ice 2/5 > Lgtn 2/5 > ... instead of all of one element's first, and peppering in some Elemental skill upgrades in between if you intend to upgrade those as well, then when cat 1 and ele skill (if applicable) is capped, that's when you finish your AM2s.

I already had 4 enfeebling done by the time my BLM was 75 so if you have that covered then don't worry.

I'd put at least 4 into that. Makes soloing safer. Then some into elemental magic (makes soloing safer... ). Then hit ice potency cos you really do notice it fast (I'd get 2-3 in there asap), then thunder and then worry about AMII. Unless of course your shell needs you to be Freezing and Bursting asap.

Depends. For me, I levelled BLM to have it available for events but I solo a lot so enfeebling was important. Sleep ftw.

You could do it with 2 but it would be s l o w. We did some yesterday with SAM, SAM, BLM and a dualboxed 55 RDM for fresh. 2 x BLM could do it trading hate.

My favourite way of doing it is 3 x SAM/war and a mage. SAMs rip hate off each other to switch target and interrupt casting.

2 x BLM and a RDM could do it. Don't rely on grav but you don't need movement speed. Anyone can kite it. Make sure you stop to let him start casts so others can hit it with crap.

Well now that NIN is done, picking up SMN. It's at 41 atm, are there any good avatar BPs I should be using while main healing?

Fenrir - Ecliptic Growl (43), Ecliptic Howl (54)
Titan - Earthen Ward (46)
Carby - Healing ruby, healing ruby II (65), meteorite (55)
Garuda - Hastega (48)
Leviathan - Spring water (47) (only way of getting stona as a SMN)

Elemental Magic should be first without question. After that it'll vary by play style. Potency > AMII > INT > Enfeeb > MP, maybe.

Is the Sleepga II NM, Agas, sleepable?

Only with ES sleepga 2, to retain irony.

when we did it for my blm back in the day when 1 75 job was a major accomplishment and AF shouts in jeuno were the norm, our drk/nin tank wasn't working out so well and our brd managed to sleep agas with just lullaby. this was before most people had merits, af2, and whatnot, so figure his gear, etc to be on par with an AH brd.

When calculating damage for SCH Helix spells, what is the value for V? I would ask in the SCH thread in the WotG forum, but that's degenerated to whining about what people want the job to be rather than what it is.

Keep meriting potency first, I love watching tarus die all the time at puddings

Judging by what Kaeko wrote in a post there once, it seems to be the same base damage formula as Aero 1, as I recall. But I don't know if they're all the same or if it can vary, or if I'm remembering correctly.

Usu, af2 or byakko's pants for hundred fists? I also assume dune boots?

[Max™]

Wow, now that is an interesting thought.

Full Kick merits+Dunes, I'd lean towards AF2 legs.
High Eva mob, Haidate or Shura for the 7~ Acc, the dex on byakko's wouldn't hurt the crits either of course.
High Def mob with Feint or SV Madrigals, Usu for the Str/Att/Dex.

Pointed some of the monks in my sky shell to the testing showing HF caps haste/wastes gear haste, now they're doing Kirin in Ohat/Shura/etc as opposed to their full haste TP builds, haven't seen a parse recently though, I'll have to see if we can get one going this sunday.

I made a reply at the end of it all, asking if I get a weapon I want to unlock with AoE weaponskill, for every mob the weaponskill lands on, would that be 1 extra point? I planned to unlock my Subduer with "Shockwave" by fighting 2-3 Robber Crabs at once. Would I get 3 points solo if Shockwave hits all 3 crabs?

No, I tried to do the same thing on drk lol. For what it's worth you also can't SC on multiple mobs, it will only work on the initial target.

damn. that sucks. as soon as you suggested it, i thought how cool it would be to shockwave to circle blade with 40 robber crabs around and make 40 impactions... would sure kill a weapon quick!

I asked because someone in that topic recommended to do one of the assaults, and use AoE weaponskills. I then started to think outside of Assault. Ah well. I don't mind working on it the other way, but was just trying to find another way without NPC usage or to get people to help. :D
