Is it better to not do the most recent dungeon update and wait for the dungeon overhaul bonus rewards to be added in 2 weeks? Or is the most recent update not really affected by it much?

Or is the most recent update not really affected by it much? Check the reward compensation breakpoints (every 200 dungeons cleared). If you're really close to one (like within 5 or so) get to it, then stop doing them until after the update. 800 is the maximum award breakpoint, which you should have hit in December/January if you've been clearing all dungeons.

Any way to see how many dungeons I’ve done? I’m almost done with the classic ones though barely touched elites so far.

I loving hate golem and can't figure out how to beat him...I have what could be a very strong physical wind team with Zack chain cloud USB/OSB/BSB2 zidane USB/OSB/SSB (the bad one) and also have fuijin with OSB/BSB/SSB. Entrust botting cloud isn't working and I can't seem to get fuijin to do very much damage with a ninja mage setup. I know I can do this but nothing I can think of can manage to do enough damage so far. I haven't been able to sidestep earthen wall which is the problem with physical... I could maybe just go full mage/ninja mage. I just want completion/mastery so I can unlock the other 2.

Are you Dispelling his Protect? Also, I think you should be able to burst him down by Entrusting to Fujin; setup a Chain, have her get her Enwind SSB up, and then spam Meltdown (or Gathering Storm) in between OSB casts.

I'm almost all the way down the Realm dungeon map (maybe 90% to the end?) and I think I've only done the first 10% of the Elites. The revamp poo poo is kinda confusing. All I know is "probably maybe don't do elites, or do them but don't master them, or something else entirely".  I know I want to at least finish the normal realms and take advantage of 1/2 stam week. I really need more mythril for upcoming pulls. I dumped what little I had on the recent OK and "Heroes" banners, and I'm always a sucker for the 1/2 price Luckies.

Grizzled Patriarch posted:Ok what the gently caress is this Atlas fight in the crystal tower. Yeah I kinda hosed up by using my A-team in the first fight in the tower, so no OK or Rikku for Atlas, but even with that I can't figure out a way to crack him. I figure a fully-dived and synergized Raines is a good start. Synergy Vanille with her BSB should be good too. Nabaat's BSB might help imperil him too. And then...what? I've tried Tyro, for his USB2 hastega and/or wall and/or breakdowns. I've tried two healers. I just can't quite figure it out. Raines' BSB cmd1s are typically about 20k per use, but it's just not fast enough when every 5 or 6 turns he's mass-dispelling and I need to re-up haste, protectga, shellga, boosts, and wall. I keep getting him to about 40% and then a 7k AOE hits me because something didn't get up.

Atlas has an extremely simple pattern, just four abilities that he cycles through: 1. Punch (weak physical) 2. Crushing Grasp (AOE dispel and NE magic damage) 3. Chain Strike (2 physicals, target highest HP%) 4. Roar (AOE NE magic damage and 30% interrupt) Crushing Grasp alternates between targeting first the front row and then the back row, so if you put all your dudes in the same row (definitely back row because his physicals aren't long range), you'll have 8 turns between dispels. When he uses Punch, that's your cue to start recasting your hastega SBs. e: also you don't need to recast stat buffs after Crushing Grasp. It only dispels status effects, so pretty much just hastega and shellga. You can forgo protectga if you want, going full back row and Raines' BSB should be enough.

Geocities Homepage King posted:Is the balance change real or part of the "comedy option?" I've always thought he should be a support character since he was the one who started with breaks in FFX. Balance change is real. Auron can finally Full Break, after 3 years. (Jecht's comedy option actually 'works', too, if you can get all 3 to proc at the same time it's... 8.64 potency! ...compared to a triple-cast Fires Within at 10.2 potency... 16 dark hits, at least, for chains?)

The Auron/Jecht event is weird. I can't believe they didn't give Braska something new, or even put his USB on the banner. Did we really need an OSB for Auron in the same event they gave him a Support BSB?ApplesandOranges posted:(but there are no +Fire ranged weapons).  One day, Lann and Reynn will return. I still want their BSBs, regardless of how dated they are. Elena also has a fire+ thrower, I think, which is at least more likely to show up again then Lann's BSB. And Irvine and Mustadio's USBs, but that's not Jecht relevant.

I think DeNA did a pretty good job of replicating the look, sound, and feel of the early Heavensward battles, especially Shiva and Ravana. But jesus, Nidhogg looks like complete dogshit. It's like they cropped an in-game screenshot, put a pixel filter over it, and made it wobble around a little.

Neutral Zone Trap posted:Nice, that’s the toughest one down for you. Radiant Shield isn’t likely to hand you sub-30s, but it sure as hell helps with sub-60s. Curilla USB was great for the damage boost, the defense boost (it adds up with non-Savage Jet Fires, they were hitting for 1300 with all my mitigation) and the trickled damage from reflection. Sub-40 feels as good as I’ll get without playing insanely risky.

Man I have never had trouble with any 300 torment fights I've tried before but I just can not kill that drat FFXI dragon. I think the problem is that my only ice damage is Squall's steely blade which I know is top tier but honestly seems kind of ho-hum without his dive doublecasts and doesn't really benefit much from jumpstart. I guess I could smashmouth Josef up to 99 since I have his BSB, are the monk unbound fury BSBs any good? The other option is to RW steely blade onto my dived Butz (the Steely Butz stratagem).

The counter hits I notice only hit for like 1000 damage to 1 guy, but maybe what I thought was him enraging was just the counter mechanic enraging. I have Vivi and I've been using his USB to dump my chain blizzaga hones followed by his bsb2, but the damage is weirdly low, like 4k per hit on blizzaga and the dragon has a shitload of hp. I guess I don't have any ice boosting gear either.

I got mixed up; He does have a single target counter but he also starts spamming a group AOE separate from the counter; Said group AOE ignores defense so you need to have breakdowns to deal with the damage.

I did the XI 3-member CM with Squall as my main damage dealer, although I have him fully dived and RW'd Onion USBp for the ninja EX speed boost. My other three XI guys took down the top guy with Shantotto doing Meltdown and two others, I forget their names, doing Fires Within and the Fire Spellblade. Once the top guy was done, Shantotto turned to Chain Blizzaga and the spellblader turned to Hailstorm, and the Fires Within guy re-upped Protectga and did the ice imperil magicite. Healer was dived Ysh with BSB and Wall. Not sure if this helps at all. edit - my Shantotto has USB so that gave a MAG boost, forgot to mention. Other two XI's had no SB's.

Sub 30 on mist dragon with Vanille, Raines, Onion, Shelke, and Shadow. All are full dived except Onion, and only BSBs used except Onion pUSB. Onion also has his LMR which is key to getting buffs up. Feels good to steamroll this one, and I should be able to get Shadow dragon down too since I have TGC OSB and everything I need for the 2 cid strategies.

I was entirely out of hones and SB bars and Squall was dead when my magicite landed the killing blow. Got the bare minimum of medals for champion and none of the CMs, but whatever, I now have enough spirit motes for a dive

All 3 star magicites down sub 60 or better. Now to work on consistent sub 30s and then attempting 4 stars...feels good to be putting all these nice relics I have to use. DENA needs to throw us a bone on spirit motes though...it's ridiculous how hard they are to get compared to the others.

Almost forgot: Wednesday, I caved in and pulled on the FF14 banner because, even though I never played FF14, I love the game in RK (hell, my two biggest whaling sprees in this game were all due to FF14 - the first banner and Alphinaud’s debut). And I wanted Alphinaud’s USB since release. First pull, 4/11, no disco balls. Curtana dupe, Haurchefant LMR x2 and AN OFF-BANNER FF4 ASSASSIN’S DAGGER. Second pull... 5/11, THREE DISCO BALLS. Ended up with Haurchefant SSB, another Curtana, Minfilia USB, Estinien USB... and Alph’s USB. I don’t even remember ever drawing three 6*s in a row. I really fear for my luck on FFT’s next banner.

Like, if you were to zonk on LMRs, it would've been Arc's on the OK banner. A MBlink proc on someone with a doublecast white LM2 is at least respectable CM fodder at its worst. The real zonk on the banner is 5 Alma SSB/55. Or Marche BSB. Some combination of the two.
