The Ambuscade weapon "Naegling" gives it a 15% boost, high damage and stat boost. Plus and most important it gives 1% boost per buff that you have... and for this fight you prebuff with extra BRD, COR and SCH to end up with something like 40ish buffs. Using the prime horn that grants the "Aria of Passion" song our group actually does closer to 90k with Savage Blade!
@josephdavis34722 ай бұрын
@@McWeenyKen It has far less to do with this and more to do with the 2017 fTP readjustment update. Savage blade fTP values used to be several times lower. That update alone made Savage Blade go from irrelevant to better than Chant Du Cygne (which was considered best practice at the time). There's information about this on BG wiki if you look at the references at the bottom of the Savage Blade page.

A few suggestions/notes: 1. Regal Gloves are actually useful in this fight for COR, BRD, and DNC. The TP gained is also affected by sTP in other gear slots. (I use them as COR here) 2. The GEO and RDM can make use of Occult Acumen with Impact and/or Thundara 3 using appropriate gear. This helps get higher fTP and/or WS frequency. 3. It helps if EVERYONE uses Subtle Blow gear in their Weaponskill sets, and I recommend at least 30~40. The DNC doesn't need as much because of traits. 4. Have the BRD sing a second set just before SV wears; effectively giving an extra minute or two. 5. Ideal rolls are "Crooked Tacticians > Random Deal > Crooked Miser's". HOWEVER, If your group struggles, consider switching Miser's to Chaos or Monk's.
@EsoteriVerse Жыл бұрын
A newer and more refined setup has been found by other groups. (PLD, GEO/drk, BRD/drk, COR/drk, RDM/drk, DNC/drg) Even with the damage resistance, kill times below 15 minutes have been achieved by them. I might post a video of us doing the updated strategy, if we manage a noteworthy record time. Our players don't have as much invested in these jobs comparatively, so that may or may not happen.

'Hard Mode' Aminon is optional; however you must defeat this version for a chance at obtaining Mesosiderite. At the relevant Bitzer, select "To the deepest dark!" for this harder difficulty. (IF you do NOT want to fight the hard version, you can simply select "Forward!" option.)

It took us 12 Aminon kills to obtain 4 Mesosiderite. On 11 of those fights, we applied 'Treasure Hunter' level 4, but we don't know for sure if it affects the chances. Only one of our six members didn't get the Mesosiderite, as they are still on Stage 3; so we will need to get 4 more after September's update.

It saves us a minute or two, which can mean the difference when trying not to run out of time. COR can use crooked cards on bolters after C boss, and the other metals are simply not needed. We've actually failed a few 9-boss attempts, where an extra 60 seconds would've meant victory; time is that tight.

@EsoteriVerse Жыл бұрын
The weapon only needs to be in your character's possession in order to qualify for upgrades; anywhere in your moghouse storage still counts. -Unfortunately, these increases in difficulty will affect anyone that doesn't have stage 4 too, if they Sortie with someone that does. The developers recently made a statement that this was an unintended consequence, since it hurts recruiting pools in an already shrinking playerbase. They've yet to make any announcement on how to remedy the situation.- EDIT: The Devs removed AI changes for EFGH, and made Aminon 'Hard Mode' optional.

Dear Lancifer, I would appreciate your great review of Diarmuid. Kindly let me ask of what makes you choose to take intense WSD traits and gears? Usually I thought PDL is much more powerful to boost damage in WS, due to it was multiplied by damage formula at last. One more things, would it be possible for us to punish basement's NM in Sortie by Prime Weapon and Savage Blade so on, before NM starts to use Ultimate? Highly appreciated.
@EsoteriVerse Жыл бұрын
A full review of Diarmuid might come at a later date; but as for PDL... generally there needs to be a balance between Physical Damage Limit and other traits. The more PDL you have, the far greater attack-boosts you would need to fully appreciate the benefits. Stage 4 Aftermath already gives PDL, and the gearset shown has 10% PDL from Dragoon Collar. That being said, I do have a separate gearset I can use if Attack is well over-capped; I just don't show it in the video. -Since we think their Ultimates are automatically used at specific health percentages, I doubt physical damage will bypass these changes. However, we don't know if Prime Weapons have a hidden effect on behavior when actually used in specific ways. Mischief hasn't noticed anything with Prime Staff. It is less than week since these changes, so we are still learning.- EDIT: The Developers removed AI changes for bosses EFGH, after reviewing player feedback. Now, only Aminon AI is altered; AND it is optional.

The RUN, GEO, and RDM all go south to do D shard. COR ports to B and kills 5 air elementals there. SCH ports to C and kills three Corses. I went north in this video, out of habit, because of other routes we've done; but south is actually better when fighting Degei first. We do D and H first, so that cutting cards allows the SCH to "TR" for both Aita and Aminon. Mischief has a full write-up somewhere on FFXIAH forums.

I would argue that our setup is not too far from "traditional", as we have a frontline 'tank', damage dealers, and support. Our composition is focused on magic damage, but that has always been an option in this game. In fact, some of the more successful parties from 15 years ago, utilized skillchains and magic bursts. It is an integral part of Final Fantasy XI's elemental combat system.
