Take me on an Aeonic run and get me a Chango then Mr. Saevel Q.Q

Sure, can check with Brat to see if she's running an Aeonic run sometime. Banana just got done doing one last month, Ryuail runs it and I think Clint and Foad post on here sometimes.

Get a malformed pre-loaded, then farm another 50k beads, then come subject yourself to Asura for 3 days getting 2 Aeonics made.

Doing the Aeonic climb and reforming DI points to replace Hauksbok Arrow (on #6 now) is about the only way I get beads these days lol. Only 4 left to make!

Won't be able to check til I get home late this afternoon. But yeah I was wholly unprepared for serious, "Yeah bro, just come get some Aeonics (O_O)"

Any content in XI after 2013 is stuff I'm barely versed in at all. The most I even know about Aeonics is you need the beads, all the Geas Fete mobs(don't think I've even fought any ever), and the relish weapon Attestations/Frags.

I bet I don't even have enough beads OTL

Damn, sounds like my man's gonna have to trade copper vouchers just to have the silt for tribs/rads.

You've got some copper vouchers stocked away at least, yeah?

Sounds like a reason to move over to Asura and make your avatar accurate.

This thread just took me back. It reminds me of killingifrit or allakhazam with the discovery of rdm/nin in the mid 00's days.

I usually swap between DRK/WAR and DRK/SAM depending on the situation.

Clearly, you go DRK/rng these days in order to apply status ailments/debuffs at range, and occasionally show the Ullr PLDs how it's really done with your Exalted Crossbow +1 and Heavy Shot.

And then the real secret weapon of DRK/rng... Darkling Bolts! Ullr PLD gots nothing on you, babe!

I've always enjoyed DRK/PLD. Nothing like throwing up Cover on the tank! You can even help level the playing field with flash! Since you are going to miss have the time, the mob might at well also!

Is useful sometimes to start fights with more haste (Hasso+LR) if solo and trusts are going to be slow to haste2+march. Like pushing CoD to the lowest HP% before it uses Primordial Surge.

I kinda hate /DRK.

Once last resort wears off,.I feel like an addict waiting for his next fix.

It used to be useful for stunning mobs. 2 Bashes and Stun had some niche uses. But /DRG is too strong now.
