I don't get what the deal is, that bell is good! You know, with bard and at lvl 99 with 99 magic when it procs the earthquake It's so good, in fact, I used it to kill NED! The memory values at the bottom left are health for all the parts and they all read zero because the memory changes the moment the attack starts. I did get one regular lovely 200 damage attack too This was a super strange team (Geomancer, Dragoon, Bard and Thief, in that order). I had so little damage throughout the entire game (I finished at lvl 23 so that might have been on me) until the very very end when I got the last two songs. This lead to some problems to say the least, which I now realize can almost all be solved with !Hide, my new MVP skill of FF5. I hid to drain ifrit, seal guardians and Necrofobe's Barrier's MP, and probably several others I forgot. Soul cannon was beaten by hiding from the surge beams. loving gargoyles were defeated by hiding and waiting until they both used fuse at the same time and killed themselves. Reflected zombie beat Meatdeath and Shinryu while the others were hiding. I've never used hide so much before in my life but apparently it's the solution to drat near everything! If romeo's ballad didn't work against Puroboros you could hide from that too! Hide is love, Hide is life. A coward's way to victory. And it only took 19 and a half hours in game time.

Well this was the most trivial NED fight I've ever done, god chemists are busted. Gave everyone sandals, ran the time mage with !summon and everyone else with !mix, tossed out life shields at the start of the treedeath fight to ignore white hole, and Golem to ignore the physicals. Buffed everyone to lvl 99, doubled their health, dragon defense for Shell, Protect, Regen and Reflect. Dragon Shield just because, and Elemental Power on the casters. Leviathan was doing 8k damage to everything, and I could just... facetank almagest without caring. Left the non-heavy part alive last and killed it with Zanetzuken from the Magic Lamp as a cherry on top.

Cattail Prophet posted:Can't wait to catch a Mammon in Moore and hold on to it all the way to Rugwizard, and also pick the Brave Blade I guess. I'm only like half kidding too, the novelty of it will be kind of interesting. Also Adamantoise's poison vulnerability being actually relevant was fun. Mammon is a rare encounter in the part of the void where you fight Twintania. If you can get that far without Mime, you can avoid long term storage.

I just finished my second run of the fiesta. BLU/SUM/NIN/RDM was super easy, beat NED at Lvl 27 which was the lowest I ever had. I had read Blue was broken but had never actually used it before and holy moly you guys weren't kidding. I can't believe how many bosses I took out with Death Claw and the Dark Spark->Lvl 5 Death combo. Then for the late game Mighty Guard and White Wind trivialized all the bosses in the Rift. Even with as powerful as Ninja and Summoner are, Blue Mage was far and away the run's MVP.

Run #10 (Triple Crown #6) done Knight/Dragoon/Time/Summoner - of course it was good, it had the best job! ultrafilter posted:Same as last year. Use all twenty regular jobs and I'll donate $20 plus your job fair expenses (up to the total price of one of each regular job). Any kind of run is fine except for #fifthjob or some other mode that has you using more than four jobs in a single playthrough. Welp, it took me 10, because gilgabot just loved giving me repeats this year, and I didn't want to job fair more than once per run. Here's the stuff I job faired in: Fair total was $20 even (all the stuff above, plus the Time Mage I faired into run #10), but because the bot loves to troll, two of the times I job faired a new class I'd just turn around and get it again in the very next run (Mystic and Beastmaster) apophenium posted:I'm excited about this Fiesta!!! I registered for a Pure Chaos Risk run. My first risk! So I only ended up doing 9 of them with BLM, because I'd already gotten a few hours into my first run before I saw this post Happy Fiesta, folks!

Run #2: Pure Chaos - Chemist / Ranger / Ninja / Summoner Well that was easy. Chemist with the Fiesta mod is a great Wind job, you start with the Flail and Healing Staff early and you get Turtle Shells at Karnak. Seriously could've been ten levels under what I finished at, but !Rapid Fire Ninja is just fun to waste poo poo with. Not much else to say about this crew other than they wreck face. Doing 9k x4 Leviathan on NED was particularly satisfying. apophenium posted:I'm excited about this Fiesta!!! I registered for a Pure Chaos Risk run. My first risk! Hopefully I'm not too late for this! berenzen posted:I have a little bit of expendable cash, so I think I'll make a of my own. Well my Chemist didn't berserk Omega, but !Mix is completely broken. Started with Resist Fire, Dragon's Kiss, and Levisalve. Used Hermes so no need for Hasty-Ade, and no Goliath Tonic meant I could heal Wave Cannon with just Hi-Pots. Once I had enough Dragon Powers and Turtle Soups applied to damage him, it was just a lot of Succubus Kiss and a few Thunder Scrolls. Cheesy, sure, but not in the !Sing/!Calm sense I guess. Shinryu I definitely just smacked with the Power Staff/Dark Sigh and spammed !Image

apophenium posted:I'm excited about this Fiesta!!! I registered for a Pure Chaos Risk run. My first risk! My first win, and it was blind! Dragoon was, apparently, my only "bad" class, but I didn't mind it. Being able to Jump over things let me cheese a couple fights and get out of some rough jams. Summoner and Blue Mage were both excellent. Ranger was never my star damage dealer, and needing to give up using !Blue or !Summon to make it useful kinda sucked, but it pulled its weight. Now to take on Shinryu and Omega! girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 08:27 on Jul 4, 2020 |

Cheese like that is fine. !Sing/!calm/quickleak is just so over done. Counted. That puts it at 4/5 Omega, 5/5 Shinryu claimed

I will finish a run for the first time ever (Neo Exdeath.) I've competed in 7 years of this but never finished a run. This is year 8. If I don't complete a run this time, I will donate $500 to the charity this year. Let's see if I can manage with Monk, Red Mage, Bard, and Dancer. God have mercy on my soul.

RDM lets him snap rods to power through a ton of stuff, and later on you need more bodies to sing anyways. Not as good as other mages for sure, but if its the only one you have it does enable a lot of stuff.
