The Last Dance: Gearing Paradigms For A New Age

h2h! climactic + combo or bust!

Anyway Supernal Knife is +10% CAB ~10% of the time.

By the way Dancers, this isn't really specific to us, but Campaign Battle is a pretty decent Gil/Hr money maker at this point.

I just mention it in this thread because DNC is especially good at it.

Assuming you don't use all the voiddust on yourself.

If I don't do any VW until ToAU / CoP Voidwatch are released, I might have enough to get away with getting all my drops again without buying a single voiddust!

I've been foolin' around with it a little bit, it just seems to level out the evis I throw around. I don't get as many low end ones but haven't had any big spikes either :/

I just like using something that doesn't have the bone knife dat tbh

my thokcha lol

also stupid hat, but meh

I love your Thokcha, but I am too selfish to use a dat mod. I don't want everyone else have pretty daggers too >:(

Is that a rose on there? impressive, especially for a dancer

I must say I'd be more surprised for SE to make a Dagger for DNC with any type of flower on it. Kinda sucks imo that Charis Tiara's flower doesn't show on male characters

Like that? lol

You're such a sexy BST DNC Sylow lol

Yeah that's it! But now i'm curious about that coruscanti again...
has anyone found out how it actually works? The "Severe DMG" wasn't what I imagined, especially looking around posts awhile back seeing what it could do but nothing out of the ordinary

I heard weird rumors of just caped pDIF? or some crap like that. Maybe that's how it functions?

no one knows

I registered up, still not seeing a download link? Just seeing a preview image :<

"Please make sure you post in the Introduction board so you can get full access to the site."

Sylow, what on earth would I do without you?

It is entirely possible to kill B.rex with 2, or even 1 EV/HQ stagger only with BLM tank method, although your pt needs extremely high dmg output.

There are some tricks to increase the dmg output of the pt:

1. Have at least 5 BLM(some ppl do 6 even, but I usually do 5 to include more jobs for proc), while 4 BLMs in BLM pt focus on DD and another BLM focus on proc.

2. When you invite BLMs, leader have to make sure they have capped elemental skill and magian thunder staff. JP pt leads often make sure BLMs meet the requirement, that's why they never fail.

3. Before you pop the NM, COR x2 can do roll rotation and buff the BLM pt with mattk/macc(or fast cast) roll, then disband and go back to melee proc pt and buff TP roll x2. I honestly never play BLM, so I'm not entirely sure if macc is more beneficial or fast cast. I'm assuming macc if you're using magian staff maybe?

4. Have WHMs /SCH and boost AGI+Firestorm WF COR and RNGs. WF can hit 3k avg(avg, not spike) on Rex without firesday/fireshot bonus if properly buffed by WHM. On firesday it's entirely possible to hit 3.3k+ avg.

5. WF COR and RNGs need Atmacite of slayer+save TP atmacite lv 15, and karin Obi.

If all the BLM/COR/RNG/WHM meet above requirement, it's possible to reach less than 50% after 1st EV/HQ proc, thus only need 1~2 HQ/EV to win. The real problem is to find this many ppl that meets the requirement.

Bingo!

But thanks for all that information. It should really help out people who are looking to fight Rex for the first time :)

Just a little spoiler for the next section I'm working on adding:

DNC 201 Part II: Situational Equipment and Macro Pieces

lol <,<

I have to say, after playing Dancer I feel really random-equipment light when I go out on THF or WAR.

I don't think we have a single non-merit job ability that doesn't have more-or-less required macro equipment attached to it.

I guess Animated/Desperate/Wild, but they're in categories with flourishes that DO have macro pieces.

Same goes for lolternary.

Well, if we felt like it we could stack Enmity for Animated and Accuracy for Desperate/Wild. They don't have specific macro pieces for the JA, though.

What exactly determines the hit rate for D. Flourish, anyway? Is it accuracy? Magic accuracy? Some combination?

Could be both, but it's at least melee Accuracy I think. It might have some kind of penalty, but I haven't been able to automate a test for it because the act of gravity-ing the monster would change the hit rate.
