When GEO gets indi-stp, they'll care about using geo

The meta is the meta. It's better to run away twice than not have rolls. Same for brd, it's better to run away twice than miss 7 song effects. (4+honor)

Plus, of course cor has shooties and leaden.

Can try it with SMNs if you want DPS to stand out of range. Something like SMN SMN SMN GEO PLD COR. Physical BPs/Physical Shooting on Frostnought for first 15%, then do magical Blood Pact: Rage vs Blazenought (except Ifrit) and Leaden Salute spam when Frostnought freezes. Alternate avatars for appropriate damage type. GEO/whm for barblizzard/indi-attunement during manafont, malaise on red, frailty on blue.

Try it :)

Stupid question: If the main gimmick of this ambu is dispel spam why does everyone keep throwing COR and BRD supports in their setup?
1-You can run away from Turbine Cyclone.
2-Its only the first 15%. Once you take one of them down to 85% and it deactivates, Turbine Cyclone essentially goes away. You can rebuff without worry of losing them, unless you kill really slow.


This is what I thought the strategy would be… burn it to 85 with basic buffs then rebuff at 85 to burn : o but everyone said this would be a hard month..

Every month that isn't frog month is "hard month"

Whiners. Ugh I have to turn. Ugh I can't use cor. Ugh they dispel. Ugh I have to do magic damage.

If you can't just mash savage blade it's too hard.

Wow, so watching the log and running out of range of Turbine Cyclone is "hard". Not getting owned by Pain Sync is "hard". Not getting terror'd by Bill Toss or following a moogle for 5 minutes is "hard". Not watching the log and stunning Just Desserts is "hard". Anything that requires using two eyes and the joysticks/buttons on your controller is "hard".

Just plain old fashioned laziness

I mean if you are playing ffxi on a controller you are indeed choosing hard mode.

Anything that goes behind pressing "start" on the bot and going afk is hard.

The great thing about Ambuscade is it's easy or not based on the jobs you have available, not everyone has every job at 99 with perfect gear.

Also some of you need to calm down, you're waiting to jump on someone at the least opportunity.

If you throw the meta at something that is designed to defy the meta it's not meta it's this:


Also SE in their eternal wisdom decided against regional servers during the low bandwidth era and they never properly upgraded. At the same time they throw this reaction based game design our way.

If you build shout parties chances are you get players whos connection experience is very different from yours and I'm convinced that even if everyone in the party ran react and ja0 you still couldn't dodge this stuff reliably simply because of latency, lag and choke.

Turbine is VERY easy to run away from. People are just bad.

No excuse at all for this one.

Fishbitches, was legitimate before the change. But that's pretty rare.

Made a test run on VE solo (connection tends to be worse in party) where I'd just focus on running, no WSing. Stood at max melee range with 18% movement gear equiped waiting for WS animation startup and ran asap. I'd say I made about 15-20 attempts and didn't manage to outrun a single WS.

Guess I'm just bad.

And if it did, you are, in fact, maybe the worst player, ever. No exaggeration.

There is not much room for skill in this test setup, it's a simple reaction test. You watch the screen and push/hold d button at the right time. From how you described it the reaction window must be rather generous. Maybe I suffer a severe disability I'm not aware of, wouldn't be the first time I get diagnosed in the internets, but maybe:

Ok. Had to unblock the guy to see who Eiryl was talking to.

VD1 test as SAM to see if kiting Turbine Cyclone was possible. Called trusts, engaged, fought Frostnought until I saw red lines (this move could only be Turbine Cyclone since that's the only TP move the giants use in the first phase). Was able to range every single TP move just by watching the monster's TP move go off (not even reading the log). Obvious trolling. Back to the list.

What is this supposed to prove if you do it on your setup in your location with your connection?
I'm not saying it can't be done, I'm saying people from different locations can have a very different playing experience than you do.
