Who needs Divisor Ring when you have your mandie rings?

Also, excited to be able to stun on RDM without having to sub DRK

/DRK gets Absorb-TP though, that might be really interesting (in before relic/mythic BLM/DRK Absorb-TP > WS).

Meh, it would be in the same boat as ninjtsu skill for /nin, if it's not a job with natural dark magic skill it's going to suck, and the only job that has natural dark magic skill that subs it is rdm but lol@ that no other meele has skill aside drk it self, so it won't help in the least bit.

How are those to get? Fairly unconstested, or an exercise in douchebaggery? Heavily camped NM spawns make me sick to my stomach.

Starting at 90, RDM won't be subbing DRK for chainstun.

EDIT: Don't mind me, really tired/sick. Sorry about this post.

I'd love to see some more variety with the introduction of new spells taken from offline FF games.
Spells found in .DAT files include: Bravery, Faith, Reflect, Curse, Virus, Toad, Libra, Dia(ga) 4/5, Banish(ga) 4/5, tier 5 -ga spells, Regen 4, Gravity 2, Confuse and Berserk (this one might just greatly increase physical damage output but restrict JAs, spells and WS's usage maybe?).
Some of those can be currently cast by certain NMs as well.

BLU/RDM can seriously become really damaging but if they decide to cap D-skill values at a low level for current physical spells and they don't introduce better ones it's going to be meh against high level mobs.

Bravery and Faith are in there? o.O I could see Reflect working as a utsusemi sort of but it reflects single magic damage and only reflects a single spell.

Just as an aside: I'm a MNK, but I might as well say it before it gets said...

1: inb4 MNK QQing about WHMs out Chi Blasting them.

2: inb4 MNK QQing about worthless new ACC+ JA since they can full time Focus/Aggressor after level 90

The drop rate is similar to Leaping Lizzy, but the mobs are time spawns, 30 minute window starting 1h:30m after death, so you can handle it like Mysticmaker. Just rent some moves and use an eggtimer.

At.. 7:30 am PST, doing a /sea on the zones they're in, only shows 2 people in each zone, one a THF, the others /anon. And one is Rocl lol.
Your server may vary, mine is closed, so NM hunting has been kinda easy lately. If you are in a locked server, or one of the bitch merge servers, I'd recommend getting your NM farming in before the merge/open.

RDM will sub drk for... chain absorb TP!!!!

[Rocl]

SCH/DRK: Manifestation + Absorb - TP

Where is your god now?



Also regarding Mandy Rings, it seems most people have good luck with one and terrible with the other

1/2 on Lamina, 0/30 or so on Hyakinthos

Not much competition nowadays here, like 4 people max

[Cantih]

SCH/DRK: Manifestation + Absorb - TP

Wait, I've got something even sillier. Chainspell Absorb TP, to try and keep mobs from getting WSes off.

[Rocl]

Nothing will beat Dual Wield 8.

Could this actually be viable on mobs that are immune to Stun?

I retract, busy camping nms, cba to read everything.

If you're zerging something, the amount of TP fed from all ~12 people will probably outdo the 50%TP (percent of TP on mob, not 50TP) cap that Absorb-TP seems to have.

[konoko]

it wont prevent them from criting you in the face, or casting spells, but it would "possibly" cut down the ammount of TP moves, assuming your zerg party isn't giving the NM more TP than you can absorb

Edit: Maybe mix in some ws's of your own while your at it?

I could see it being viable on Jailers, I forget if Abs-TP lands on them though.

Oh god, not the death blossom topic again.

They aren't resistant to dark iirc, if you can drain and aspir them, you can absorb TP.

If one RDM can't absorb it fast enough, you could always try 2 or 3 RDMs going simultaneously.

Maybe this would be more applicable in the new high level content in WoE or Abbysea. Something to keep in mind when we see what the new HNMs are like.
