Best On Asura By Job

being good means thinking of semi-random excuses vaguely relevant to the activities you are engaged in

and learning by rote a small number of arbitrary goals and pursuing them desperately

then you are free to derive self-worth from the handful of successes you will have in this endeavor

while remaining quite uncomfortably in denial of everything else

congratulations on your career in ffxi

idk.. never really needed to look it up for any real reason. I solo it as bst. That information for me is unimportant. Same as it is for you. What difference does it make how much HP a mob has if you're too fail to take it all away anyway? Knowing exactly how much HP a mob has is handy, but doesn't make your skill any higher/lower/better/worse. I'm impressed that you can retain an catalog-esqe mental image of the entire vanadiel besitary... but that's about it. It doesn't make your skill any higher than some other *** that can look up the mobs on the way to camp or w/e you're up to.


What friend? I said I saw other BLM's solo it. And umm.. IDK because I never thought I'd be lucky enough to laugh at a lolcow like you on the subject of a job I have stagnet at 60. DMG DMG DMG... what matters is.. they did it, and you find chickenshit excuses to not even do it.



...ummmmm... hmm.... 4. lol Again, if you're winmage instead of failmage, this information has little actual help. If you take hits, you take hits. Knowing that you can OMGONLYTAKEONEMOREHITANDIRDEAD isn't going to change the outcome of the fight. This is all nice stuff to know, but in the end mostly useless info, or as I like to call it.. filler info. Sure you're not fail for knowing it, but you're fail for thinking it makes you more pro to know what a *** NM's HP is at.... lol



Of all the HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE questions... I would assume, oh grand master of the dark arts, that it would depend on resists... Or let me guess.. you have that worked out to an exact science too? Too bad you didn't put all this effort into crafting. You could probably predict when you're going to HQ before you even do it..... Pretend you're not you for a minute, and go back and re-read this ***. If you don't feel stupid by now, then there is clearly no hope for you. I feel sorry for people who actually support you.



Well if you're not a failmage you can kill it w/o dying... crazy huh?



Another HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE question. It depends on what happens. Are you so pro that no fight ever tosses in any surprises for you? Gosh.. you ARE the best!



....

lolwut?



He seriously *** said........



one more time for effect......



... and yet.. in an air of smugness you claim to be in the upper 5th percentile.... wow... that's arrogance.... I mean.. that type of arrogance is comparable only to your obviously high insecurity level.



which is EXACTLY why you're AVERAGE at best. lol
can you tell I lol'd at that for a while?



Nobody said anything about gil. If you're pro you should be able to work that NM np, nevermind a good chunk of other sky god pop NM's. Yet, everyone else fails. My roomate and I go duo Cemetary Cherry all the time... do you think we do it cause we NEEDZDAGILZ? The *** thing never drops anything, but it's a challenging fight that is good till the last drop. We do it because it's fun, and it tests us each time we fight it.

How many people have to tell you how hard you fail, before you'll pry open those eyes of yours and realize what a tool you are?

not defending anyone but dear god to break down someones Entire Post and tear it apart like that!!!

Someone would call it pro, others would call it insanely evil

but I...

would call it 100%, total, waste, of....

Time

No 1 cares

Thats a table toss not a table flip o.o

it flipped multiple times i assure you

Maybe you're right. Keep in mind you also cared enough to not only read it, but post about how much you don't care about it.

When you think about it, almost everything related to ffxi is a complete waste of time. Forums boasting about who is the best, or rather, one of the best, is no less a waste of time than say ... camping an NM for hours, or grinding out xp in pts, or any of that ***.

And what's wrong with breaking down his posts? He pretty much invited me to do so.

everyone here is average

the best would have everything and quit the game

edit: QFT ^

but imo He's trolling and got you worked up. He is good @ doing that

The amazing levatating table?

it's possible he used magic to levitate the table

I can see the wires you know.

solo NW is easier than it seems, just need practice

on all floors til behemoth floor u need luck on vortex

on behemoth floor u nuke/bind til they die, 1 trick is if you have low mp u need to do first nuke in full mp gear or you will get to 0 too early and die.

on kb there is a special spot where it is safe to nuke, check kaeko's blog if u want rly good info on it

btw korpg is on my list because hes a very good blm to have in an alliance.

maybe he can't or hasn't tried soloing despot but tbh i don't really care

if i ever want a mob dead i go solo it myself or duo it with w/e person wanted the drop, so with the exception of ralphwiggum on my list idk how well those people can solo and i couldn't care less either.

ralphwiggum kicks *** at solo/duo rdm btw : D

A lot of these nominations make my head hurt, even some of the ones from older players are way off base. A favorite player on Asura thread would be good, a best currently in your presence as opposed to all time would be better. I think when I tried to post in this on page one my post got eaten though D:

and the thread lives on!

Thats why I said, a long time ago, that this thread is nothing but a "Shout out to your friends" thread >.>

Hmmm.. best player and leader.

IMO... Kanican. Not on Asura though >.<

The stuff he has done, along with his posse, is incredible.

They have tested the game mechanics better than anyone.
They also share their experiences and mechanics with everyone.
Their lowmanning style's keep me interested with the game.

And when he did BLM solo on Diabolos Prime = hawt!

Think he was one of the first to solo NW Apollyon as well.

____________________________

As for Asura... that is tough for me to choose.
I've met a few great people on a number of jobs. (Like Turin's Monk(Full Usu, tathlum, Blackbelt. He's pro at all his jobs.), Blaize's Paladin(Defender ring + much more), Shamaya's THF(outparsing many DD's), and Obev's RDM or BRD. Then you have Meepeth and Hotsoup that taught me the way of the BLM. Solo'n, duo'n, and trio'n many gods in sea, sky, and beyond ;-).)

Watching Turin and Aradonte duo Temperance on RDM/NIN was amazing! 1-2 hour fight but a win nonetheless!
___________________________________

As for NW Apollyon. You can't sleep the little Behemoths nor are they stunnable. So DOT's like BIO II and Burn will help you kill them.

Next time you are up there and you have time to play with. Check out the Kronzprinz pathetic pathing when you are near the edge. Sometimes they will actually move away from you. Little things like this will help you stay alive(away) during nukes. They path/track worse than crabs.

Stacking INT for bind helps, too. I've seen Meepeth cast 3-4 Tier IV's before bind breaks.

As for KB on final floor. Yes, there is a spot directly ahead of where you zone in that jets out. I'll call it an inverted peninsula. When you pull KB. Pull him counter clockwise. Get positioned in the corner, opposite of KB, and get ready to cast. KB doesn't technically come close enough to cast but because he is on the move, the server lag will work for you. When done perfect. Your cast will finish just before he makes it around the bend and starts meteor. Keeping you perfectly safe from him (unless he does a stun move, with TP, later on.)
------- |
--- KB | ----- ________
------ / ----- ( cast
----- / ----- / here
---- / ----- /
-- ( ------ /
-- \____/

(Don't mind the (-'s), needed to space.)

On the opposite side you can Aspir KB safely. Try to start your cast a little early. (Make sure to include Fast Cast gear. It's not needed but safety is always best. You can start casts further than maximum distance when mobs are moving toward you. I've seen 140+ aspir's. Bring Yag drinks and refresh gear.)

When you get real good. You can start running early, about 8-12% before your cast goes off. That will give you alittle extra distance to keep you safer from KB and the little KB's. (Will help you out on buffalo floor, too. Since they have enhanced movement speed.)

This method basically exploits the flaw when mobs are moving toward you, even if ever so slightly. (Server lag) It allows you to cast earlier than if you and the target were standing still. The same can be done on the stairs against the Ugglepih NM. SCH can easily and safely pull off Tier IV's even when the NM currently has them targeted. It's possible with BLM as well(when gravity is applied). Although, for blm, sticking with Drain's and aspir's when you have hate is safer since a quick Sleepga II from the NM may catch ya offguard. I haven't tried BLM/SCH for the fight yet. But I definitely want to someday :-)

To successfully solo NW ftw. You must get off first floor early or skip many of the wyverns to have the time to complete him. Need 12-30min to duo or solo him. Depending on day, merits, gear, and skill level. A weak BLM will not even get thru the Kronzprinz. To consistently win this tower. 1 RDM with 2 BLM's is sufficient and 30+ coins to split.

No tower needs more than 6, and no boss needs more than 10 to win consistently in limbus. Even though many LS's bring more, the tower scales up when you bring more.

You may want to check out Kanican's Livejournal, Korpg, before you ever say, "That's not possible, I can't do it!"

They have done lowman, Ouryu Cometh. 6 man party for Omega(limbus). Among many other lowmanning battles. The solo Diabolos Prime is just EPIC!!! It's on Youtube, Kanican using a different toon!

the real epic one is solo bhaflau remnants, kaeko is the best mage on ffxi no question.

sucked when they banned him but he is back now

and i agree this thread is mainly a vote for friends thing, i didn't vote for anyone i haven't played with myself (although part of that is because you cant really vote for someone being good if you have never seen them play with your own eyes)

I can't do it because Satalite internet sucks.

If I make sure to actually stop for a second to cast, I can cast, otherwise I would get interrupted 90% of the time.

Now, when I get back to school, that would be different.

Reading some of your posts over the last few pages just make my eyes bleed. For someone claiming to be one of the best blms on the server, your knowledge of even some of the most BASIC blm stuff is so below par its not even funny.

People need to speed hack to solo KB in NW? Damn! If only there was a safe nuking spot that had been well known for a long long long time, that allows you to get t4 off with 0 risk of mete hitting you.

Despot is a hard solo for blm? Funny, i thought it was just a case of ES > Grav > Run to pond > Spend ages being bored sensless dot kiting it.

Seriously who the hell are you. You might be big fish at puddings or some crap, but thats because real blm have better things to do than rot their brains often with people who dont know their stuff.

End of the day, the good blms dont talk the talk without being able to walk the walk!

Anyway, to add something constructive! Here comes my list

Pld : Blaize, Zatoichina and Zexy, all completly awesome and tanks i always have 100% faith in.

Blm : Far too many to mention. 90% of my shells blms are too awesome for words, the other 10% are well above average

Whm : Same as above really, but got to say Teplin, Sizah and Annelisse really stand out (as did breemer before he left his char to some hoebag)

Also a mention to Mattchoo, has various useful jobs and its very very hard to pick one he is best at. I know i havent mentioned everyone, most my ls know how awesome they are anyway so they dont really need it saying!

On a side note, kaeko would definatly get my vote for being one of the best players cross server. Another one who would be up there for me would be Lordwafik, never got the chance to play alongside him so cant speak for his skill, but the things he achieved and helped to achieve were amazing (Just a shame he gave up on that relic staff :( ).

i agree about lordwafik and also heard a lot of good stuff about aurik

Yeah, I believe Kaeko & Kanican are one in the same.

Not sure if you were referring to me about the speed hack. Asura.Daiiawn,

It's no hack. The game comes with the spellcasting percentage. Running early is no hack. (I wasn't referring to the blink hack that some use.)

And I'm definitely not saying it's needed for KB. He's probably the easiest and safest to fight within the tower. Just takes time to kill.

It's more of a safety precaution for the Buffalo floor, IMO. I don't have herald's gaiters and these are about the only thing, in the tower, that can come extremely close before they are slept/bound. Even with gravity they are as fast as you are. (Without gaiters.)

IMO - Anything that you can do to avoid death or having to cast/recast buffs/cures will speed up your travel through the tower. When solo that is the primary goal. (A reason it was worth mentioning.)

Kaeko was in the shell called TeamKanican, not sure if there ever was actually a player called Kanican. You sure he's playing again though? I heard he "chose to bow out gracefully" after he was banned. Which is why the enmity testing never got completed (not that've bothered to check since he was banned).

Anyway, I propose a new thread: Best blm on Odin.

general consensus = Kaeko

Thread Closed.

Wasn't that fun?

Edit: @ Chad, the speed hack was in reference to some retard comment Korpg mentioned a few pages back, saying that NW would only be soloable by people using speed hack. Some crap like that anyway, shame on you for not reading 15 pages of diarrhea.

yeh hes back, he posted about it on his blog.

hasn't told people the server he is on so he can get to 75 without help i think he said.

hmm, wonder if he bought an account on Odin to be with all his old friends or started from scratch.

Kaeko started from scratch, if odin was the server he was on, its not the one he is on now, know that much from his blog

"Not sure if you were referring to me about the speed hack. Asura.Daiiawn"
Nah i was refering to the idiot Korpg who a few pages back posted that he highly doubted that NW could be soloed w/o speed hacking. Im personally a pretty decent blm, so know exactly what you meant, i used the same method on most things i cast on and it was effectivly essential when trioing LBC, since i didnt cast in gaiters i would be running slower than it for a few moments.

Just to add to the topic, slamm is the best rdm for any situation by far. It's only my opinion, but I've been around him enough to know he fully understands the job and the physics of the game to get the full potential of his rdm. Keep up the good work slamm!

<3 daji

I love Daiiawn's post, #1 post for memorable posts in all forums put together. LOL

Summary of post: Korpg, who the *** are you?

You need to be a pro to solo Despot as BLM? I don't remember that, hey Korpg if you're so pro where are your gaiters? Owait, you're way too low on the food chain to even be able to get the chance to get a pair of gaiters. LOL

Given that 'average' on this server (maybe other servers are better, idk) TPs in STR rings, actually knowing how ***works (and applying it) would make a player above average at least.
