Also every Sortie boss except Aminon.
Why would you waste time doing it on A B C D? I suppose E can need it too if BRD+RDM+DNC offhanding TP bonus, but it also dies so fast it doesn't matter.
I think he's implying you need it on basement bosses. Obviously you don't need it upstairs.

What do you cast distract on these days really?

While not required, you can still cast it on a lot of things if you're in a party that is willing to setup fights rather than just turn on autows and go afk, having Distract up lets DDs offhand tp dagger/sword/axe for example. Gin is still pretty evasive even at ML50. And ofc Ody bosses.
I solod Gin 300 times on ML0 MNK. Wish I was joking...

Cool. An ML0 MNK has a whole lot more accuracy than the offhand of a BRD/NIN with a TP bonus dagger, so I'm not really sure what your point is exactly, but...it's probably not totally relevant to everyone fighting Gin.

An ML 50 bard with SV madrigals has less acc than an ML0 MNK?

If am fighting Gin for the first and I am concerned about his evasiveness, someone telling me that an ML0 MNK has no issue hitting Gin definitely gives me a baseline comparison for other jobs and use cases. So, I'd say it's relevant.

Don't need SV for those NMs either, they die too fast.

I mean, yeah, but if you can solo it on RDM and that was your best job what would you even be chasing? If you have full null drops and *** R30 belt... doubt you need Gin, I dunno bro

You guys really need to find some friends.

I just killed 2 NMs I had already cleared last night, including a T2. It's called, stick with me here, helping your friends.

Lili was the one bringing ML50 into the discussion. But if you are going to compare a MNK with a Bard, just to make a point, at least remember that bards can SV Madrigals.

Well, now that you ask...

MNK has A+ H2H skill: 424
BRD has B- Dagger skill: 388 (-36)
MNK gifts include 41 accuracy
BRD gifts include 21 accuracy (-56)
Godhands have 269 H2H skill plus 30 acc on the augment (-355)


Master levels give 88 accuracy to BRD (-267)
SV Blade Madrigal (with merits) gives 238 Accuracy to the BRD (-29)

So...I guess if the BRD also has Honor March, or a second Madrigal...then you're right. A SV BRD with multiple accuracy songs would have more acc than an ML0 MNK. Seems like a bit of a fallacious argument to make to me, but...sure. A BRD who's ML50 and casting SV Blade Madrigal + Honor March would have more accuracy than an ML0 MNK.

Assuming the MNK wasn't under focus, and had the same accuracy on gear, which everyone knows would never be the case since BRD TP gear sucks *** for accuracy and basically every piece of MNK's best gear includes heaps of accuracy.

So um...yeah. I don't think an ML50 BRD is likely to have more offhand accuracy than an ML0 MNK, no.

_Maletaru uses knowledge from Beyond!
It's super effective.

Thats presuming the ML0 monk is truly solo (aka no trusts), which i find highly unlikely to fight Gin. Ulmia and/or Joachim are present and its highly likely Madrigal(s) is/are present.

Yes, but if a bard with SV 2x Mad and Honor March is comparable to MNK's acc, then yeah, knowing that ML0 has no problem hitting is relevant to a BRD/NIN with a TP bonus dagger.

I was legitimately curious to know if a Bard in the above conditions would not be able to hit Gin, since that's what Maletaru was implying.

Our characters don't have free will because we're controlling them. But the universe is controlling us, so we don't have free will either.

We're just bots for the universe, man.

Stone 4? Obviously there's lots of better choices than Null here. Lethargy Chappel even at +2 is clearly better in every way. As for the three accessories, there's lots of choices that trade some of the M.Acc of Null for quite a bit more damage.
