So it's been some time since I tested this, but it was in an AOE party in Dho Gates. I was locking Opashoro so that I could throw out Cataclysms as well, and when AM3 was up I want to say my Thundersparks were doing a bit under 12k, while with weapon unlocked (meaning Grioavolr) I think it was doing over 13k.

Again it's been a while so my memory is pretty fuzzy on it, but I do recall Grio being farther ahead than I thought it would be. Especially since at the time there were rumors flying around about Opashoro AM3 being like 80 MAB and I was hoping for big numbers.

It's still about 10% worse than Nirvana even without AM3, but I don't want to make it sound nonviable. Gridarvor is absolutely endgame-viable. The question was just more about what's BIS in each situation so that's why I only talked about Nirvana & Opa.

Im unaware of any tem sightings on any server. According to SE at least, it was never "broken" per se but the specific spawning criteria wasnt being met. So they "made it easier" but its still not being met. I dont think anyone is running around checking every mob they kill. You'd first need to know u had the ITG then you'd need to start checking off a list of what you could do to it. how you could kill it to satisfy this unknown condition. Seems unlikely unless instead of being an identical mob that is ITG they made it look different or named it different.

Anyway Asura apolly ??? is no longer at NW5. We went thru a climb and it didn't reappear yet but it should pretty soon.

Hi, I'm interested for joining on segs and possible sortie. Uk based

I don't think there's been any reported appearances on any server since the last update.

Do I want ridill bad enough to spend a couple dollars making a mule for it... hmm.

I think maybe the answer is yes.

What are the current solo capabilities for RDM for stuff like Omen, Sortie (which bosses), and other high end content. I'm looking to make a RDM just for the fun of solo'ing mobs. Is it the best choice?

Could just start your pull in seigan/TE, gear wise it wouldnt change much in the armor department, would be all accessories which is basically all null in their respective slots except neck which can stay to warders or you can opt to swap to bathy +1 if you want to keep pumping evasion

That is a possibility I had not considered
Press the pdt gearswap key, get stoneskin from my brd lol and a cure4, walk into the mobs, cast sleep
If I make a neighboring hotkey or double press for evasion it might not be too much to juggle in the moment.

Thinking deeper on this
I do need to work out a stance change third eye macro for sure

Hot take:
The ??? Should just have a fixed spot on each floor next to the exit when the IG dies. This problem of the ??? not spawning likely goes away.

Is the Temenos ??? still broken?

I find this is mostly true when you have Phalanx on.

How often do you parse a monster having a >5% crit rate on you?

My experience has been that basically everything is floored on me with enemy crit hit rate merits.

Not sure how your process of pulling looks like, but assuming you are not getting heals until you stop, you could simply switch to evasion gear which I mentioned, when you lose HP granted by HP gear in those slots.

If Blu is a good example without considering spells or ja
It should be more evasive than a unbuffed blue unless we got some traits thrown in there

What would be worth giving up for evasion?
Moogle belt and moonlight cape add quite a bit of hp

If we use Perg's rough conversion, Opashoro Stage 5 has roughly ~125 mab (in BPD), and then the Mab from the Aftermath (how much is that, 30?), then there's the avatar stats from the Level+3.

Now I'm not claiming you need a perfecct Grioavolr to trump Opashoro, but the gap between the two should be pretty small when AM is up.
Now you could argue you won't always have it up but that's another story I guess xD


@Perg you forgot to mention Augmented Gridarvor.
For Physical multi hit BPs with replicating FTP, it should be on par (if not above?) with Nirvana when AM3 is down.
I seem to remember when some years ago it was mathed out, people were surprised to see Gridarvor so high, considering it's a "normal" and very cheap weapon.

I'm moving out the the practical now, and just kinda enjoying digging at this now, lol. but...

SAM can wear Forfend+1, for +142 def. And and Mafic Cudgel for +15 VIT(22.5 DEF) +162.5 DEF total. XD

Or, Hachimonji has +20 VIT, and Refined grip+1 can get a +20 DEF aug.

Again, I'm not seriously recommending these, just following the search for DEF/VIT to extremes.

I loved Blitzball too. It clearly took inspiration from Tecmo's line of Captain Tsubasa soccer RPG games, which I really like (and Klab based their phone game on)

personal opinion would be to make the 2nd ring a shenndick so you can move faster, warder's charm to better resist the odd nuke/debuff if you get a caster

What can I replace defending ring with in a maxed out pdt set?
Jelly ring already in the other slots

I mean to be fair a lot of folks were willing to throw $5/month at it so I don't think it was that they wanted stuff for free. We had a memory leak issue though and it was causing things to be sort of unplayable and it took us a long time to figure out what the problem was. :( Numbers overall dwindled kinda hard during that time.

If you go from that 1 BP = 2.5 Pet MAB, Grio has base 115 which is "46 BP" which is 4 BP of Prime Stage 5, dont need good augs to overshot Prime Staff.

no surprises there. can get a few people to chip in at the beginning to get things moving but most ps players only want free.

Something like 25 Avatar MAB and 10 BPD on the Grio?

Honestly, 900 VE is kind of pitiful for something on a 45 minute recast. Invincible is 7200 VE, and 2000 CE(with JP). And Shield Bash is 450CE/900VE on a one minute timer. <,<

Certainly, the point of the Intervene isn't enmity in any case, but... They really could have done better. Better than nothing I suppose.

For multi-hit physical BPs (this covers basically all the popular ones: Volt Strike, Hysteric Assault, Predator Claws) Nirvana with AM3 is top, then Opashoro stage 5, like Dodik said. Opashoro stage 4 and R15 Nirvana without AM3 are tied for 3rd place.

For single-hit, Opashoro stage 5 always wins. Opashoro stage 4 ties with Nirvana R15.

For Flaming Crush, Opashoro stage 4/5 always wins, especially with AM3. Without AM3, R15 Nirvana ties with stage 4 Opa again.

For magic pacts, Grioavolr always wins. I dabbled with Opashoro with AM3 a bit and it wasn't awful, but Grioavolr still beats it.

I-seals. The rest are meh, or lockstyle stuff if you want them.

Anyone got opinions on reward choices?

Bronze still giving 6x Abyssea drops in Kupon form, Silver now giving Ridill/Joyeuse/silly Shadow Lord helmet from Fiat Lux, I have zero complaints about this from both a functional standpoint and a meme standpoint.

(hope the objectives are slightly less awful this time in terms of how they rotate/how they're selected/what's in the pool...)

Not a surprise anymore!

I'm guessing they sold out of NA supply of the kraken club, as I ordered one back when it was up for preorder alongside the ArkAngels shirt. Still have it wrapped up because I'm waiting to give it as a surprise gift the next time I visit a long distance friend lol
