Revelation seems like a set with a focus on physical evasion. Which is interesting considering evasion / shadows works really well against Limbus fomor NMs. Unfortunately, the incentive to farm them just isn't really there. And even then, it's moreso because the fomor NMs auto attacks hit like trucks. That's certainly not the norm...
And funny enough, I've stacked some serious MEVA (gear-only, not through GEO buffs for example) and had no luck resisting any of the magic attacks / WS from fomors. Can't say I recall resisting any enfeebles from BLU NM either the one time I fought it.
Maybe other content, like higher levels of Besieged, or HTMB, etc., will have a need for more physical evasion.

Not sure how much it adds but I had the same issues immediately after the windower update a few days ago (and we don't have any snow here in Ireland!), namely getting stuck in menus like Sparks NPC, vendors, HP points etc. randomly. I switched to the developer mode and it all went away. Now today I'm having issues with some communications between my accounts having not yet switched back to the stable mode, although it's more minor - some commands to one character but not to another. I turned off dressup when a few days ago and haven't turned it back on.

Valve attempted to get a frivolous lawsuit dismissed
Corrupt UK courts said no
And what happens when the corrupt UK court deems Valve guilty?
They pay what?
A $900 mil USD fine
Feels like you need to educate yourself on how court proceedings work. Nice attempt to salvage an inaccurate post, though. |

The good thing about having more Phalanx+ options on a job like DRK is you can make a set and ask a RDM to throw you Phalanx II. This makes it easier to survive on tougher fights where damage taken is a factor.

I used Frailty when I was GEO, but didn't mention it because it might have been nerfed, and even if not, there's a lazy mode component to it where I have to heal the Bard/Curaga tag to register luopan on everything before it takes effect. Probably faster to Fury/STR but Frailty should work fine. But I wasn't watching damage specifically do can't say for sure.

Youre probably losing more time fighting over access to the portal at the end of each floor ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And for the Adoulin zones, don't forget about
https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Floralie
who sells the special Adoulin tools (two of the other nearby NPCs sell Adoulin-only gathering gear and Adoulin-gathering-only key items) |

I can't recall if others have confirmed this, but today from the gobbiebox I got this from an SP Key:
That's the base NQ hands for the WAR/BRD/NIN set, still needs the jewel to actually make the equippable piece. I would not assume the HQ1/HQ2 versions are obtainable from the box without someone verifying it. We've seen other stuff (IIRC, cursed gear for Escha abjurations) where only the NQ version shows up in Gobbiebox/Trove, so it wouldn't be a big surprise if this is the same.
Last month I also got an Alabaster Part II from the gobbiebox (Special Dial), so new Limbus items that have just been recently implemented are definitely showing up in there. |

If you need wilt for limbus.. oof
|
|
|
|

the GEO is for healing and reaching attack cap, after that you can use STR/wilt/yada. They're not there for meleeing. If you need a SCH or WHM for limbus... oof

If your 2 dd's are undergeared or only average, then bringing a geo instead of a third dd does improve kill speed. YMMV
I've tried two setups:
3DD COR BRD WHM
2DD COR GEO BRD WHM
the 3DD group was like 15-20% faster on kill speed. However I also hadnt set up my geo to smack things around. I'm not sure if MeleeGEO would account for that kind of difference though. |

So the UK has decided to fine Steam 900 million dollars (of course its the UK) for their "monopoly on the PC gaming market". First of all, anyone with an IQ higher than room temperature knows thats false, they could easily go to court and show that GoG and Epic exist, as well as other companies attempting to join the e-vendor market but failing (EA tried, Ubisoft tried, Blizzard tried) due to their greed.
Now my actual question: what happens if Valve tells them to, in what I believe would be their words, "sod off wanker"? Does the UK just block Valve from operating in the UK? I dont think that would play out the way the UK Govt thinks it will.
Are you channeling your inner RadialArcana?
Lawsuit given go ahead
It's a lawsuit, not a fine. And it was just a ruling allowing it to proceed to trial, which doesn't mean anything. You still have to win. |

All GEOs had idris all COR had +8, I didn't check if their swapping were working of course xD

But it wasn't the same exact pt members (it was same level and same buffs). Without telling us anything further:
This could be a COR using Rostam to roll vs a COR thats just using Regal
This could be a GEO with Idris vs a GEO with Bagua+2 (or +1) |

If they want to trade in the Uk then yes, they will take them to court after refusing to pay.
They could just say "keep the market, we good" but I doubt it.

Next time, just record those numbers with and without geo, because if you cant recall numbers, then even your memory could be skewed.
also keep in mind mobs have 50%DT. If you are doing Savage for 25k and 30k, the real difference is 10k. WS Avg difference was within ~1k.
But it wasn't the same exact pt members (it was same level and same buffs).
I've seen 1k difference between different runs even without GEO so... that doesn't really say a lot in itself.
Plus numbers were measured with Scoreboard which isn't exactly the most reliable thing (is there any new more updated addon out there?)
I dunno, considering the jobs I was using if we're talking about non SV Aria and 130, maybe it could be possible that GEO gave me practically nothing.
If we're talking about 135 and/or SV Aria though I find that hard to believe.
Or am I wrong in that? |

I think their system needs further refinement.
Not blaming anyone, but the weekly thing had its pros and cons, the 4 week one is imho better but has other issues.
I dunno, they need to think of something even better. Small tweaks but they're due.
I'm confident they're coming honestly. The chest should be able to upgrade weekly and do a full reset after four weeks.
Cockblocking the event for a month because goals werent hit is a shitty system. |

If i follow Kayte`s explanation and Trust/shared Trust tasks get new big bubble next round, then these dont count, ay? But its not (UC)s in general, because Unity-NMs bubble icon becomes small, which means it counts, yes?

I was all about Penguin+Albatross for high-end fish. Their bite rate was high enough that I didn't feel like I needed either Noddy or Puffin, and it felt substantially better (subjectively) to have both the added time and the added stamina drain.
If you feel differently, I'd say drop the Albatross first. Double time is nice, but Penguin's stamina drain was suuuuuper noticeable to me and felt like it made them "catchable vs. uncatchable" rather than "catchable but in twice the time", if that makes sense?

Recently I've noticed people goin more and more towards the model with a GEO/WHM in pt setups, handling heals and Fury/Frailty.
I'd love to hear more opinions on this.
I've been doing Limbus mostly on COR, BRD and RDM, on either 130 or 135 and I don't seem to have seen a noticeable increase in the DPS output or WS avg.
Does this mean GEO is not that useful in there?
Not necessarily.
There are multiple variables that could've totally skewed my impressions, other than of course some bias I'm unaware of.
Sechs possibly faulty logic to explain stuff 1) Fury or STR doesn't have this issue, but Frailty needs to have targets in range and it needs to be applied to the targets. Several methods to do that but it's not always instant. Paired with people which might be out of range on a full run, it could reduce the amount of difference you would notice.
2) COR, BRD and RDM, unlike "proper" DDs, have less PDL options in gear and traits, which means less "space" for the additional attack to make a difference.
3) I've been doing runs on 130 and 135. This is less likely for 135 but for 130 it's possible that I was already overcapped on att, to the point I was already reaching the "roof" granted by the little PDL I have on those jobs with Aria of Passion. Meaning the difference made by Fury/Frailty would be less noticeable, at least on the 130 runs. Not so much on 135 I guess.
So, Aria is ~22% PDL, ~44% with SV. Then add the ~0.1 pDIF cap from /DNC. I need to doublecheck but I probably have no other noticeable source of that in my WSsets on those jobs.
44% with SV is a lot though, I doubt I "fill" that on those jobs, whereas I can see it happening on 22% with Chaos + regular 5 songs + Red Curry Bun.
So in the end, is it possible these 3 variables skewed the results and produced a scenario where indeed the difference between having or not having a GEO was hardly noticeable to me? (but it was likely very noticeable for proper DDs with proper gear)
Are there more possible variables I'm not considering?
Or would you say the issue is somewhere else and GEO isn't all that big difference at all in the end and people who are starting to be anal about mandatory GEO/WHM in Limbus parties are just living a self-delusion? |
