Not really a bug per se, but it seems like the API is returning an "error" if a specific NM has been reported on that floor already.

If the report was received, it might be better to log that silently(if at all), rather than surfacing a bright red error to the user, regardless of what you do with that report on the back end.

I do think there's value in updating stale timestamps whenever an NM is spotted to indicate it has not been killed, as not everyone killing NM's will be using the addon.

Addition of Geomancer and using magic buffs like storms/threnody, Nyame/WSD gear/traits, iLvl gear like Ninja jse2, and elemental weaknesses that really only became a thing during Adoulin, since there are no native monsters prior to Adoulin that actually take additional elemental damage specifically (think it's limited to umbrils and maybe another type). There were also a couple of Ambuscades where enemies took extra magical damage that could be exploited with hybrid, but it required being geared well. They were probably always a thing, but the game never used the word hybrid, and nobody had the gear to check the damage calculation, so it was assumed to just be magical damage.

Has been my thought for awhile, moreso if they were always this way or the big WS change from back in adoulin did this as i dont recall hybrids ever being brought up until around the rhapsodies/dyna period

The problem isn't with the specific weaponskill, it's with elemental damage.

A/E rages when it takes water damage. This can come in the form of a water spell, water "additional damage" on hits like using enwater or a Hebo's Spear, or skillchain damage that's water aligned (Reverberation, Distortion, Darkness).

The danger behind "Don't use Rudra's on A/E" is because Rudra's applies Distortion and Darkness properties, which means that if there's a bunch of people weaponskilling on it, there's a chance you will hit either darkness -> darkness creating a darkness skillchain, or fragmentation (from savage blade, black halo, etc) -> distortion, creating distortion. Because of the number of people who just default to fragmentation as a "no chain" alternative to planning skillchains, this injects danger.

To actively prevent accidentally raging the boss, you want to avoid using weaponskills with reverberation, distortion, or darkness properties so you don't close with a skillchain doing water damage. For dagger this means don't use: Shadowstitch, Mercy Stroke, Rudra's Storm, Pyrrhic Kleos, and Mordant Rime.

If you were intentionally skillchaining, you could absolutely use Rudra's in a controlled setting. Starting a skillchain with Rudra's Storm and then moving into something with Fusion will create Fusion (fire, light), and then you can extend the chain with Fragmentation (thunder, wind) to make light, or with gravitation (single-element dark, earth) to make gravitation, although you need to be keenly aware of the skillchain windows to make sure starting the next one with Rudra's doesn't close darkness off of the gravitation.

You could also use rudra's if everyone was coordinating their weaponskills to ensure none of them chained by firing them near-simultaneously, before the skillchain window opens.

These two options are typically frowned upon, though, because the added damage you'll get from using Rudra's over a "safe" weaponskill doesn't outweigh the risk of a pissed off lizard one-shotting your party.

More Idris and Epeolatry is always welcome. I don't know what the problem is. Time gating this ***made no sense to begin with, other than to prolong content.

People should be pointing new players at 900 skill, not an idris. You really don't have to enslave yourself to the game to be successful and you don't need it tomorrow.

Let's say this potential character is on Asura, here's what it costs to get a REMA BRD:

Marsyas: 25m (I'm shocked to hear it's this low, but let's say it's true)
Gjallarhorn: 60m
Daurdabla: 87m
Carnwenhan: 143m (or 223m if you want AG) (or 277m if you want R15)
Moonbow Whistle +1: 25m

Plus Altana knows what other gear like Stikini rings, Moonlight rings, a +2 Neck, etc.

So this new player is going to casually ***out 340m, plus spend all the time doing the 50k beads, all the trials for all these weapons & instruments, plus *** of other gear...quickly? Where is a new player going to get 350m in "a couple of months"?

...Meanwhile, our GEO friend is at 75% potency on day 3 at the grand cost of like...10m?

I'm sure there are still elitists who will tell you to *** off without an Idris, because they're idiots, but objectively speaking from the perspective of the stats being offered by the job, GEO is way better off much earlier than a BRD with a similar budget of time/gil.

I've mentioned it before but my group was killing Aminon (including HM) for months without using Idris because our GEO had his weapons locked. We didn't even realize it for a while.

You will notice an instant and extremely obvious difference if your BRD is missing any/all of the items listed above. I mean, I guess if you have all but 1 of them it won't be so bad (depending which one), but at that point you're already several hundred million in so I'm not sure there's a strong argument to be made there...

If there is, or will be, it will be dominated my MS3K and Elvira wanabees.

You can rudra whatever boss you want, the key is skill chaining, you dont want anything water aligned with A/E or D/H if its also absorbing along the darkness line(unless you're kiting, which if you're kiting you may be kiting E too and im not sure it matters there either)

New to DNC, I'm Twash/cento until I can make a S3. Is it correct that I can rudra every boss except A/E?(shark bite) I'm sure this information is out there but I cannot find it for the life of me and every post seems to just say ruthless stroke BIS.

Oh my god two pages of “no u” ***
My *** word

This isnt even considered shitposting anymore

Was that ever confirmed anywhere or just guessing based on where it sits with gkts hybrid arsenal, cause blade yu is also pure magic

I imagine that the price of gil on Asura is going to slowly drop, no new players is going to see to that. If not the STF will probably suggest ways to add more gil to the economy. High gil prices is bad for player security.

Pretty easy to stay alive against w3 boss, but w2 sandy boss might give you more trouble. Gear requirement isn't as bad as strategy requirement; if you're able to use a COR to one shot statues, subtle blow strategy on W2 boss, and effectively sac pull the circles to speed up w3 you can definitely swing it in empryean+2 and unauged odyssey gear.

Annoying you is entertaining though.

AI has far superior logic processing ability than human brain, this much is confirmed.(With data)

They are the same thing to me!

If you could have a brain that surpass all humanity, the next logical step is to become the overlord that rules the whole world.

If humanity is aspiring to be fake AI.. we're all doomed.

Fixed.

How [not] doable are the mega and disjoined Dynamis Divergence bosses for a group of returner scrubs? Specifically Bastok/Sandy for Mythic/Empyrean augment access. My friends and I have a 6 man group on a small server and we can clear the first bosses and trash mobs during both wave 1 and wave 2 but I feel like the real bosses are going to be a major jump in difficulty although I don't know how much outgearing them makes a difference these days. For comparison we've cleared Omen, can usually do D/VD Ambuscade and made a bit of progress in sortie (Ghatjot/Dhartok) but struggled a lot even just clearing V0 Odyssey (no good slashing or blunt damage currently).

I watched a playthrough of tormented souls and liked it a lot.

I also read a lot of positive about Signalis.

Try again. Better yet, just leave.

i would pay an extra $5 a month to be able to Leaden Salute Qualtada no doubt
