So. We raised $10,000 dollars more than last year? Seems pretty good.

I'm always surprised when #Reg has the lowest completion% but I assume some of that is first-timers registering and forgetting

Or they pull something like Thief/berserker/ranger and can't get past Liquiflame or Byblos or Sandworm or any of the other rear end in a top hat W1 bosses. Yeah, I'd guess the people running vanilla rules are more likely to be first timers and they burn out before they finish. Us weirdos who start playing with like the random / 750 / ect have probably been through it a couple of times and they are a bit more familiar and can hammer through it a lot quicker, know the grind spots and what to farm for are probably more likely to be able to knock out a couple of runs quickly.

Here comes the Fall event: http://fourjobfiesta.com/speedrun.php Speedrun with Monk/Red Mage/Geomancer/Dancer Just think about how much more awful this run would be with the true worst Earth crystal job, Dragoon.

FJF is very fun and this is just an optional side thing for those who want to do it!

4 WHM Garula  but once you're through that it's cruise control, !Gaia to blow through random encounters, geo-powered !White and !Summon, and !Dance to get through Fork Tower.

Man with Hat posted:White mage is so much better than, say, thief. Yeah, by the time you get to Garula, you have access to the Healing Staff and that means White Mage is stable, you just have to have the patience to slog through it. The hardest fight in the Wind Crystal -> Water Crystal run for a White Mage is probably Carl Boss, mostly because you've got to kill it with Staff Damage or your bare goddamn hands. Siren can be Heal Bombed and Magissa/Forza aren't huge threats thanks to Silence and Protect. White Mage solo class runs don't actively hurt until Liquid Flame and Byblos, and if you're solo White Mage by that point, you're either in Pure Chaos (and know what you're getting into) or you rolled a dupe (in which case hey two white mages in endgame).

Fits posted:Dragoon would actually be an upgrade in that team, believe it or not. I disagree. Getting to put Equip Ribbons on your Summoner and !Summon on an innate Ribbon-haver is ridiculous when you have Shell access. Don't forget that surviving Almagest with Shell is trivial. It's a fifteen level difference in how high you need to take a Dancer to survive it comfortably.

They were talking about the Fall event with Monk/Red Mage/Geo. Sadly, Red Mage gets kneecapped just shy of Shell, meaning having a ribbon isn't as helpful as having an Aegis Shield.

The average Thief hit at moderate levels (talking like ~level 10 here) with a mythril knife is only going to be a bit more than the average Flail hit from a White Mage. The White Mages also have the ability to attack from back row, have infinite healing, and have Protect. I've done both (I've also done Bard which is Thief But Worse) and I would do White Mage ten times before doing Thief or Bard.

Yeah, having done both I'm also for the White Mage run over the Thief run. Thief offense is seriously not good early game (or ever, really) and they don't have the benefit of being pseudo-invincible.

For the numbers: Garula has 7 defense (quartered by the Flail down to 1) Mythril Dagger has 23 attack power Flail has 16 attack power Random variance on Daggers is +0..3 attack power Random variance on Flails is x0.5..1.5 (effectively) Level 10 white mage has a M of 3, Level 10 thief has a M of 4 Thief damage per hit, front row: [23 + random(0..3) - 7] * 4 = [16..19] * 4 = 64 to 76 damage Thief damage per hit, back row: [23 + random(0..3) - 7] * 2 = [16..19] * 2 = 32 to 38 damage White Mage damage per hit: [8 + random(0..16) - 1] * 3 = [7..23] * 3 = 21 to 69 damage Yes, white mage is lower (if you front row your attacking thief) and swingier, but you are never at risk of dying in any way, shape, or form.

I'd probably rather do a solo White Mage than a solo Thief. And yes, I know how insane some of the boss strats end up being.

Kyrosiris posted:oh lmfao, my bad Yeah, no, that was my bad for not clarifying that the post I was responding to was a few months old, sorry about that. But yeah, for a team of Monk/Red Mage/Geomancer, I would absolutely take Dragoon over Dancer in a heartbeat. Barehanded Sword Dance Chicken Knife can put out some absurd numbers, but it's still a coin flip at best, and I'd rather not have to grind like hell just to tank Almagest. Dragoon with an Aegis Shield means I can just toss HP+30% on the Geomancer and have the Red Mage Shell herself with Wonder Wand and still take on NED at a reasonable level instead of grinding into the mid-to-high 40s. Plus the Dragoon Spear can let the Dragoon tear the Grand Cross section to shreds in short order, which should mean that Ribbons are unneeded.

   Should've had Air Knife Geo Syldra summons. Should've had Golem and Carbuncle for physical defense and reflect. Should've had Esuna! At least I had Shell. It's doable people, do it for charity!

drat, I always forget how much Geomancers are way underrated. I'm not even playing the Matrix version, where they're even better. Sure, !Gaia drags a bit in forests and doesn't help against Soul Cannon, but !Gaia can get you through a lot of the game, especially if you've got jobs with better magic and the elemental boosting equipment from World 2. In the Matrix versions I'd argue that Geomancers > Beastmasters (which are severely nerfed)
