It's the Aeonic, so it should be pretty PUGable.

If you click the grayed out Play button, it sounds like NES Duck Hunt.

when is my drg going to get some luvin? we need a update to boost drg to the same tier as blm :P :P

ya i know this won't happen

Wyvern doesn't seem to fare too well with the aoe tp/spell spam ya? I think they should just make wyvern immune to AoE but not direct attacks.

that would be nice, or give them some type of -dt vs aoe's

but their dmg doesn't compare to any job, they really need a massive update to help them lol

Dragoon with Trishula is an excellent DD. I know that's not an easily accessible goal, but it should just be noted that they are not as bad as many consider.


Is Trishula the only viable weapon option for DRG?

Oh no, it's just exceptional. Ryu, as always, is amazing. I don't know enough of it outside of the RMEA strengths to comment on other weapons. However, it's still quite strong, and has higher access to accuracy than other 2handers.

Not really but I'd rank it above Gugnir and only just above Ryunohige. Both are viable options besides the Trishula.

1/10 Arcana for Ambuscade #2 ki. Arcana is a pretty safe bet for this months fight.

I went to sky and killed the pots/groundskeepers. I'm sure there are much better spots though. Weapons in Garlaige Citadel maybe or Ro'maeve would be convenient since everything there is Arcana and you can warp to the book.

That might be the best battle music I've heard in a long, long time.

Regular ambuscade: three acroliths:

Overpowering: melts to magic damage.

Studious: seems to resist magic damage.

Quirinus (the main dude): seems to resist magic damage. Uses mighty strikes. Locks on to whoever kills either overpowering or studious for what seems like a whole minute.

Seems best to just melee Quirinus down while ignoring the other two.

On a more serious lolrdm's view:
On the topic of rdm. Honestly in general you really don't wanna be tp'ing in this, not just because of the low haste, but also the lack of additional helpful tping boosts aside from the sttp on the legs. Taeon still king in general.
On the legs: Taeon or Carmine 4/5 besides legs offers 21% haste, legs have 3% bringing you to 24% total, 2% short. flipping hasty pineon just to lose 5sttp from ginseng is counter-intuitive. Ionis is a thing however.. so uh new tp legs for murgleis rdm in adoulin areas?


Looking at pure maximum accuracy situation:
Head, hands, Legs don't actually get beat by new stuff.
Carmine +1 head, Gazu +1 hands, Carmine+1 legs
(the negatives of the gazu+1 attack don't get outweighed due to haste issues on Jhakri) So this leaves 2 slots to examine, body, feet
Body:
Jhakri+1 total acc 62.5, haste 1
Taeon 10/25: 54.25 acc, haste4
Taeon 7/7/20/20: 47 acc, haste4
Feet:
Jhakri+1 62.5acc, haste 1
Carmine+1: 43acc, haste4 (with set)
Taeon 10/25: 56 acc, haste4
Taeon 7/7/20/20: 48.75 acc, haste4
Can effectively put 1 or the other in with hasty Pinion+1 (which is tied for #1 in ammo slot for acc) to remain at 26%, but not both. It depends on which slot you have overall better options on. Still the point remains, this doesn't offer rdm a -massive- boost in maximum acc from what is currently available.

However, Incredible WS piece for rdm.
Currently the norm for Savage Blade, Knights of Round, and Death Blossom is 5/5 Despair D head, C rest. This set reeeeeeally addresses RDM's attack issue. Vs that it offers:
Head: -3str +1mnd +3dex +18acc +18att scbonus5
Body: str-8, mnd+9 dex+1 acc+17 att+40
Hands: str-12, mnd+4 dex+4 acc+19 att+19 WSD5
Legs: str-2, mnd+10 acc+39 att+13
Feet: str-9 da-2, mnd+10 acc+19 att+36
This goes a long way to really help the rdm attack deficit issue.

Also these pieces are fantastic for both rdm & blu requiescat, again due to the mnd paired with the attack+. The Body is the clearest upgrade.

Hands are incredible for sanguine str/int/mnd/matt/macc/WSD.

Ahriman are Arcana right? Castle Vahzl has a crystal in front of a bunch that should be easy prey still.
Edit: Derp, they are not Arcana :/
