Watchful Pixie - fight

[Carraway]

I hadn't seen DMG+6. Is it possible? Was about to go for the first attempt to augment tonight but group bailed.

Definitely possible (posted in this thread and the augment thread[s] in Media as well). Perdu+1 or bust!

[BerenTebogo]

Great, thanks for the info. Kheten's are 55k a pop here but well worth it considering how useful it'll be.

Tried the fight in Fort Karugo-Narugo [S] with PLD/NIN, MNK/NIN, BLU/NIN, RDM/WHM, BRD/WHM, and BLM/RDM. Not sure anyone has mentioned this fight in this thread.

You fight:
Laa Vaqu the Sutler (Yagudo)
Pixiebane x4 (Rafflesia)

The Pixiebane can be slept, but seem to start resisting after the initial ES Sleepga II. They should be killed as quickly as possible. They hit for decent damage (200ish to me as MNK/NIN). They have around 3300HP it seems.

Despite Rafflesia having an AoE sleep TP move, they did not use it during our attempts at this battle. They used:

Rotten Stench - AoE Acc and Macc down
Viscid Emission - Cone Amnesia (slows down kills)
Bloody Caress - 3-hit attack w/ drain (280-500HP drain)

The area where you fight has a hill with a wall which you can kite the Yagudo around. Our PLD kited while we dealt with the Pixiebanes at the start of the battle. It's possible to get him stuck on one side of it where if you move a little one way he'll turn around so you move back and he turns again.

The Yagudo NM has auto-regain and tends to spam double kick, sweep (which stuns), and Kamaitachi which can make kiting difficult. Kamaitachi is his most dangerous move. It takes 3 shadows (possibly 4 sometimes?) and if it hits does a full dispel along with very high damage (for example, 1200+ to me). Between that and sweep, keeping shadows up is very difficult. Elegy and slow would not land. Our BLU couldn't get head butt to proc on it. Overall, it didn't appear that any enfeeble succesfully landed on the Yagudo or the Pixiebanes.

We weren't able to defeat the Yagudo.

Did the Rafflesia respawn in your attempt? How low did you get the Yagudo NM? This fight interests me, for some reason

[Starr]

Least I'd take is D+6 and either STR+3-5 or DA+2, preferably both

Sorry, forgot to mention that. The Rafflesia did not respawn after we killed them. We didn't get very far on damaging the Yagudo unfortunately... the sweeps and Kamaitachi caused alot of problems.

Grauberg last night.

Our thf got D:6 ACC: 9 Subtle blow: 5


Don't know much about thf but that surely seemed nice at least.

very nice

[Therin]

Is DMG+6 Accuracy+10 Triple Attack+2% possible for THF? I would imagine not, that's pretty much amazing. That with Blau off-hand would be sexy for non-Mandau THFs who don't want to try for X's a million times.

DMG+6 is possible. LS Member got ACC+10. Triple ATT+2% Posted before. I think it might be possible (Though I'm beginning to think there's a possible SET of augments rather than random individual augments). Our LS got DMG+6 ACC+9 and Triple ATT+1.

I would accept that in a heartbeat.

DMG+3 DA+1 ATT+5 Great Axe

Refused it, shitsux.

[Jesifromgaruda]

Wouldn't those stats simply make it a wash with Perdu? DMG+6 and some combination of STR, attack, and/or DA would make it flat-out superior.

Is this in acc capped situations only, or for all situations?

My friend just got his purdue 2 weeks ago, and it would be depressing for him to find out it's possible to get a better GA lol.

Also, Question:

If you acc is capped w/o the +5-7 ACC ring, is there any reason to not use a blitz ring? Or am I missing something here?

[DancingEdge]

Going to go out on a limb here and say that the elemental damage enchantments very well may push the DPS of these weapons higher than one would imagine at first glance.


I kinda feel silly not keeping the 19 earth damage gaxe now. I think it's other stats were decent.

I'm very excited for the prospect of having no real reason to rush getting perdu, I've had the points for it 8 times over but never bothered ranking up, with the right base damage, some STR, and some double attack, I feel this would at least be close enough to perdu to be content even if it doesn't surpass it.

[Shinsei]

I deleted the pic, but I saw this other the day on the Bard Weapon

CHR+3 MACC+3 Song Spellcasting time -5% iirc.

I'll try find the guy again

Sorry to polute your thread with stuff from a dead job, but i've seen very little of these.

This is from grauberg, first time we did an augment NM. I'll probably try another area, because this seems to give jack. Both rejected, ofcourse.

[Kaope]

1) Got a decent dagger~ 5-stars Grauberg.

2) Now, what's the best combination known so far for blu sword?

[orson]

Has anyone seen any drop in stars under enemy intelligence? Alexander server so far only has Grauberg down to 4.
