Except Radial is right. He normally is and that annoys a lot of people apparently. The game isn't in maintenance mode and you just saying that is downplaying the games relevancy and acting like people debating important in game decisions on a forum dedicated to the game is somehow crazy. It's what everyone who quits does, looks down their nose at the game and it's current players ans tries to downplaying everything to avoid giving the game any importance so they can reassure themselves they made the right choice quitting. Well sorry, people still enjoy the game after you left just like before you left. They still actively debate and discuss said game, that has been the case since day 1.

I'm barely paying attention to this, but I dont see where Thorny said the DNC strategy is better.

I got a lot of mileage out of COR SMN GEO, but Omen bosses are about the upper limit of what that setup's going to reliably handle. Beyond that you start to want someone who can hold enmity and survive getting hit.

I won't test that, because I don't have 5 other people willing to do this in a limited time frame I have to play. I can barely make time for Bumba attempts with my static. If it was a matter of doing it solo I would. I was the first person testing Onion in game and providing results here despite knowing the outcome from sim.
Also I have no ambition to seek acknowledgement from every single person on this forum. I provide arguments and data and if someone doesn't like it, because it's not proved in game, then so be it.

the reasoning behind pup was for things like Fu and Kyou, but that's also 3 full sets of malignance to farm too.

Theres a 5 page thread of people fighting over Onion Sword and Kalunga, and you pick three people who have zero posts in that thread as "the evil FFIAH triumvirate"? Its FFXIAH btw
Lets see how many post the RAN have in New Games Suck… |

I'm not sure where the aggro is coming from, I am in your side.
I took one look at the daggers and was like "these are definitely the pick right? 150 delay is so fast and good"
But folks were saying I should pick diamond aspis which made me confused, cuz air knife looks so hot, so I wanted to check in I wasn't missing something obvious and that there isn't some other easy to get offhand that beats it.
It was my first instinct to go for, I just wanted to sanity check I'm not missing some other obvious option lol
|

 |
|

I figured as much the minute I reset the settings to default lol
|
|
|
|
Alright, so what else would you be spending your ticket on?
Diamond Aspis is what ppl are saying for my pld
I dunno if 25% buff duration is so good that it outweighs a free "unfuck your offhand slot on 2 jobs" option tho
Like is +10s or whatever of sentinel *that* chase?
Also I honestly don't know if I like ganking my TP when I pop any good buff that much, is losing my tp worth a few extra seconds of sentinel or rampart? Eeehhh.... |

Kalunga has always been a 1KI though.... why change that just to shoehorn a job in because a new toy came out? Seems like we're jumping through hoops for nothing... the job already is BiS in another piece of content.
If slapping the sword on means you can do WAR damage and provide better utility, then it'd take that spot. From what I've been told by people who attempted the fight with this in mind however, is that the damage simply isnt good enough as it was expected to be from testing (vs Apex mobs?).
So now you guys are talking about cutting the job that holds the 2 Matamata? so you'd rather they just wail on the DDs and the DNC and BLU can just manage the heals? This all seems really stupid.... you're just making the fight harder on yourself. I have no doubt it can be done, but why? to what end? To prove a point?
People will take the path of least resistance, in any case.

If using Tauret+Evis I would offhand Gleti's
Air Knife's 10% AGI mod would destroy Gleti's as an offhand before even considering the enspell damage
(leaving aside the question of why you're even using Tauret at all anymore if you have Gleti's and can get Air Knife)
So Tauret+AK to get gleti, if the group even needs on dmc or thf as my third option.
Once I have gleti I would do Gleti+AK, and start progressing my armor, too I assume I can crutch pretty hard on malignancy gear for awhile, looks like it's mostly just odyssey pants I want asap for TPing in, the rest of the gear is JSE + Malig+Adh gloves?
At which point if I have finished my epeo R15 I might consider twashtar. |

To be clear: I have a DREAM pld and run I can take to odyssey.
My thf/dbc/brd I more use for solo trio boxing content with my alts. I have a full set of malignancy gear for example.
I don't really have a solid third option for going to odyssey atm though ?
I have a mid war with naegling, not amazing but prolly functional as my third job to bring.
All three would be slashing dmg tho.
IIRC one of the piercing T3s absorbs wind dmg which might make air knife actively a bad offhand too wouldn't it D=

Targetbar
That's the version I used before I edited it. The only thing I really changed was the buff icons to use the same ones as XI view and some UI stuff. Not sure why it would throw an error.

As someone stupid enough to be doing max points daily (I want the title then I'm never doing this again), this time around they are outright SPAMMING Mercenary Camp. I feel like I'm doing it daily at this point.

PLD COR BRD BLU DNC 6th slot is very flexible.= So you're gonna get it to 75% without a TP move with just BLU? and in a reasonable time to 0% it in 15mins? ehh
None said to do it in one KI.
Typically Mboze clear is down with 2KI. First KI you can for example use BST, GEO, SMN, DRK/SAM/WAR, WHM, RDM. Just tank and DD on DRK/WAR/SAM and reset TP with BST and SMN. Then you start KI2 at 75% and go for add being TP battery strategy. |

Hmm. Does the Daurdable mode work? Just not this? I am thinking about what else could be going on. My limitation here is experience with Motes and no way to test this myself.
It sort of works?
I had already defined Paeons to use Daurdabla. But when I switch to PH mode (Daurdabla mode) and sang Goblin Gavotte, Daurdabla was used. But if I tried Minuet (with PH mode on) it went to my Minuet instrument and not Daurdabla.
I'd also be willing to swap LUAs as well if there's a cool BRD one :D
Sadly there might be some other overrides present I just cant see. If something pops out at me I can let you know.
It's appreciated, thank you :) |

Are you trolling now? You must be trolling at this point.
I'm sorry but I don't understand how you came up with that conclusion. You mean this is too complicated for you? You realize I gave you like full skillchain to break like 4th aura. If using reverse flourish and chain affinity is that complicated for you, you can simply use fast blade <> Numbing Shot for infinite lv1 skillchain. Just switch gun on COR for some ilvl one. |

I really don't understand how or why the Besieged bosses suddenly start taking damage. It seems to possibly be timed to the percentage of enemies left, I'm not sure. Whatever it is, they only seem to start taking damage like a minute before everyone just warps away, so the window for killing them is incredibly small. I don't know if this is intentional or not.

Breaking aura is really easy with BLU and DNC because you can wild flourish > fast blade > reverse flourish Circle blade > blu circle blade > COR leaden salute > chain affinity Quad. Continuum. This is a 6 step Darkness that requires only 3 jobs to have initial 1000TP, so it's very easy to proc !! before feeding enough TP for Kalunga to make a TP move and spawn fetters. 7 step shouldn't be needed, but technically you can make first circle blade on BRD instead of reverse flourish on DNC and you can switch to Dagger on DNC and reverse flourish and do Rudra at the very end for 7 step double darkness. Are you trolling now? You must be trolling at this point. |

It's the stupid arguments in FFXI that I enjoy dunking on. People here are so desperate to be special that they try to go off meta just to be different.
People settled for BLU-WAR because it worked. It made people's lives better. I remember when people suggested BLU and I was a little hesitant because it was a job I never played and didn't know what it would bring to the table. But it brought damage and survivability. Completely trivialized the fight.
Replacing WAR for DNC will make the DPS a problem and you gotta be very deep in the copium zone to think that haste samba and boxstep can make a group outperform a WAR.
Our last Kalunga clear we had 5 mins left on the clock. Warrior is cheap, trivial to build and useful. So, again I ask, why are you trying to bring DNC to Kalunga? Are you running into DPS problems? Healing problems? Survivability problems? You dont have BLU-WAR-DRK-SAM?
There are several reasons not to bring WAR to an aminon fight. People can kill aminon with a stage 3 prime with a whole lot of time left on the clock.
The answer to both question is: for fun! Not because it's better.
So there were a few different ways to do this, especially because in the beginning we could only have 1 WS every 10s. GEO was used because Indi-Barrier provided protection COR and BRD from the add's melee hits while GEO-Fury provided a much needed attack boost to maximize that damage from that one WS every 10s. Then the 10s WS wall was removed, GEO is still useful because of the protection and damage boost it provides, especially with the sub 40% rush.
Of course that setup has one problem, the WAR (or DRK or SAM) can hit hate cap before the dino dies, causing them to pull hate, adds go everywhere and people get dispelled or killed. By inserting a BLU over the GEO we can get similar or better defense bonus's via mighty guard while spreading the damage out more and preventing the WAR (or DRK or SAM) from hitting hate cap before it dies. |

It is well known that actual FFXI threads make for horrible conversation. They used to make P&R look normal. They probably still do.
Also, RA is too stupid to be called "evil."
|
|
|

The lengths that these advanced mathematicians would go to feel special.
Replace your chad WAR for a DNC on Kalunga, lol... trust me bro, the math is there!
There was a time, when people knew how haste works in this game and knew that big peepee WSs with small peepee frequency were mediocre at best. |
