1000 Needles x18 vs Suzaku

[Azulsky]

A few questions and points about this:

- Is 1000 Needles "resistible" in any sense? More specifically, will it ever not hit the enemy?
- Omega has DMG resistance near the end, so be wary of that if you are using this method
- How does COR's JA retrieval ability affect BST charges? Could you essentially 1k Needle > COR JA (Not the 2hr, but the other one) > 1k Needles again?

- It is resistable and can be dodged. perfect dodge, phal/SS, or mobs natural resistance. or as Neu stated "All the other gods take 875 damage."

- We did discuss other mobs to try this to. omega would be nice to attempt.

- we did use pet atk rolls and pet acc rolls on the second fight to see if any dmg change to 1k needles. nothing at all. as for charges resetting, i do not know. but is something ill look into asap. and i think its Random Deal.

+ you could do 1k needle and then another 1k needle with Zoolater hat, but that is also IF Random Deal does reset/give 3 charges.
edit: other wise you gotta wait the 3 mins to do another 1k volley.

Does ready start fully charged at 3 or does it start at 1 and then you h ave to wait for it to count up?

If its like Quick Draw and Stratagems then yes, a successful random deal will reset it back to all 3 charges.

why not do random deal > wild card > random deal will reset them multiple times ;o

That Suzaku got raped, good god.

[Caiyuo]

Nice! Really inventive technique, I love things like that. Nice song as well, hardly recognized it until later on in the video.

[Rida]

Nice to see that the BST update is being used to its full extent, kinda got buried under all the other updates.

PS brb off to Ramuh, Googlybear/Bariss still with you guys?

[Rida]

Where does the extra damage come from? Suzaku's piercing weakness or from COR roll? Asking as Im curious to the effects of BST roll on 1000 needles whether its possible or not.
Sorry about the double post my Edit button seems to have vanished <.<

ITT: Ramuh reppin' hard!

BTW you guys need/want a veteran mage?

[Aerides]

Well you just answered the crafting thread question "Is there any use in taking Alchemy past 60?".

Why, you know one?


P.S. Nice work MI, this is much cooler than 60 BSTs flopping around at Vrtra.

Great looking video. If only all FFXI videos looked as good as this.

[N3AND3RTHAL]

Most entertaining FFXI vid I've seen in a while. Kudos for finding something new to play around with.

[Thorny]

Could do it with BLU/BLMs and not need rare jugs or useless jobs.

Maybe you missed the fact that they are a pet LS.

Kinda defeats the purpose.

they're acting like it's a relevant tactic on a forum that applies to non-pet linkshells as well

[Deader2818]

Seems to me they are just showing they tried something that people had been wondering could be done since the update.

Don't try and make it be something bigger then it really is, lol.

[Furionstormrage]

Congrats, that's really fun to watch.

[Clerix]

Thorny is just butthurt because he plays this game more like a job and less like an actual game.

There was some discussion of getting a bunch of Beastmasters together and spamming 1000 Needles during the last update.

As far as practicality goes, this isn't something we could do all the time. We have a lot of Sun Water built up, maybe 10~ stacks, but they're expensive and our use would definitely outpace the supply.

Chill thorny, chill.
