Always Appreciated

BLM update sure seems like a wet queef. If they're gonna consider this ***as 'new content' than they need to *** off with these limp changes.

Adding more power to the stat debuff on Burn, Frost, Shock etc is a good gesture.

Not sure this update is really fixing anything for BLM though, COR and RNG still out-do it for magic damage.

Armor up

Wow, that's some nice armor from Odin.

Gere Ring
STR+10 Attack+16 "Triple Attack"+5%
MNK / THF / BST / NIN / PUP / DNC


Whoa. Hello.

I mean it's basically what I was expecting from the BLM update given the WHM update.

I was still kinda hoping for something like -ga penalty removed or something on top of the merit2 changes since BLU is kinda better at AoEing and RNG COR are better at single target.

Odin rewards looks sweet.

Huh. All 4 items from the Odin battle are good. That's a first.

The weapons are what they are.

Zantetsuken X
DMG:323 Delay:456 STR+25 Accuracy+42 Attack+48 Great Sword skill +242 Parrying skill +242 Magic Accuracy skill +228
Haste+7% "Store TP"+6
Occasionally nullifies enemies' defense
Lv.99 PLD/DRK/RUN

WAR's screaming that they're not on this. Absolutely crushes Ragnarok further for PLD and DRK.

Great Sword Warriors omegalul

7 haste GS is honestly pretty damn good for PLDs that want to do their best RUN impression since haste can get a bit awkward on DD/hybrid sets. Still subpar since goodbye shield and no utu etc. but better than nothing I guess.

DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF AMBUSCADE BATTLEFIELDS. BOOGODDAMNYA

Whelp with NIN being next, we're probably getting the same treatment of merit spells becoming scrolls and minor traits added in their place.

I really hope they... *shrugs* tested the BLM merit changes before plopping it out like they did with poor White Magic last month.



Also, they prioritize the weirdest friggin' things. With so much that they could have been working on, why on Altana's green Vana'diel was Jody's Shield not being able to be used inside Mog Garden an issue that ANYONE cared about. The enchantment warps you to the middle of nowhere where Jaded Jody can spawn. Thank friggin' Gawd that was addressed right away.



Also, the BGWiki has the Odin battlefield rewards listed flagged as can't be delivered, but other high tier avatar fight items could be sent over between characters on the same POL account. If anyone wants to confirm this or I guess I'll just end up finding out myself, I have a mule DRG that would like the polearm.



BLU not being on this ring and yet SMN being on it is a shame.



Interesting play giving BST some love here.



...and deposited directly onto a moogle storage slip never to be thought of again (unless you still didn't have the Harvest Festival event polearm for Abyssea proc's, I guess).

Gigas ambuscade....

That was, wholly unexpected.

It's because JP use BLM (will try to, lul) and they want to highlight BLM

My Notes;
04/17 Gigas (repeat) (BLM, water nukes)

But now they have triple HP.

On my update stream I was betting they would be sendable because of this same reason. These tags are pulled right from the dats, so its unlikely they are sendable. Perhaps an oversight, or intended due to them being new.

Can we talk about the reasoning of consumable Distilled Water though? Tried it under various conditions and it's always got no effect.

Pulled from past threads..

VD Intense Strategy

Setup:
PLD, WHM, BLM, BLM, GEO, WHM
KI Areas:
Xarcabard [S], Upper Delkfutt's Tower.
Prefight:
All usual buffs, Rainstorm, Boost-INT, Barfira, Stoneskin,
GEO: Geo-Focus (Blaze of Glory/Ecliptic Attrition), Indi-Acumen, Entrust Indi-INT.
Mages camp in starting corner.
Pull (most critical part):
PLD run in and Rampart (not flash, not voke),
This will collect all the NMs and you can pull them to side wall,
Also will prevent your mages from being killed/encumbered off pull,
After you're in position, then you can flash/voke/etc,
Shield (Aegis) will be stripped, so be prepared to macro it back in.
Fight:
SCH start Reverberation chain on Bozzetto Enceladus as soon as in range,
BLMs Elemental Seal the first MB, try to kill Bozzetto Enceladus in 1-2 SC's,
If Muzzling Wallop goes off, and tank is in danger, Benediction is a good last resort while silenced,
Remaining kill-order: Fistfighter x2, Martial, Trainer, Swiftshooter,
If SCH runs out of stratagems, free-nuking also effective,
PLD use Fealty on Trainer to prevent charm,
Try to have stratagems ready for the Trainer to be safe,
GEO will have to move Geo-Focus luopon for Swiftshooter,
If BLMs are sufficiently powered, the fight should only take about 4-6 mins.
Post-Fight:
Reset abilities at Nomad Moogle.
Reward:
1200 Hallmarks, 500 Gallantry,
Absolutely killer way to do last-minute HM farm.

Probably need the lance equipped for it to do anything?

I'm just gonna say this now. it is impossible to win with BLMs with triple HP. (not literally, just stupidly)

Muzzling Wallop will go off 100% and you will -not- kill it in less than 3 skillchains.

Muzzling Wallop eats MP (and silence) Large range. Even if it only does 200 damage it will eat 1000 MP.

Ohhh didn't see that. Cool~

New Odin HTBF. Starts fight with Dread Spikes. Melee beware. Hits with an additional effect upwards of 700~ to August. Gonna be fun learning this.

Where's the entrance for the fight?

VE !?


Selbina* (the fight is in WoE)

You enter Odin from Selbina, H-7. Finale was landing on him to get rid of Dread Spikes, but I only tried on easy.

Derp

Destroyed me on Normal, he has about a 60% intimidation rate, or maybe its ability induced. Has a TP move that gives curse, silence, def down and some other ***. idk. Had battlemod on, and everything was " special attack". Get KI from normal merit point vendor, selbina exit there's a conflux you use to enter.

He's dark knight job of course: uses dread spikes, endark, absorb tp, drain. When you die, he says something in Japanese (no idea why SE didn't translate this part?). Used BLU, blank gaze was good enough to land on him, but Koru can do it np on at least Normal difficulty.

Attempt #3 now

Was KOing my trusts too lol
