Last question (i hope…) regarding sheol gaol before getting my paws dirty, but if im on vengeance 0 on T1, and i join someone to do a V25 run.

If i win, can i start that NM as V25 next, or will i still need to climb the multiple of 5 lv tiers?

Thanks in advance

Yeah, thats what i mean, inside my current atonement tier, having someone else do the V0-V19, and only do V20 to have full access to vengenace levels inside that atonement tier

Why isn't there an Alluvion Skirmish for Rakaznar?

Wasn't anything to put there, there was a basic skirmish for it to upgrade either the original skirmish armor and/or weapons iirc, but they didnt go the upgrade route for alluvion stuff so it'd just be another zone for stones and you already had 3 zones for that

i am tempted to get the shield as stage 3, since it works,lol, and do Great axe to 4 am not sure if that's a great plan or not. hmm or should i go straight to gAXE

I'm not seeing duban pull ahead of srivasta.. but then again, I don't really do data and parses. just eyeball things.

That shield is at 85% block rate. 98-100% with reprisal up vs mobs level 160+. Srivasta has always been a lockstyle piece in my eyes even pre-duban as far as tanking goes.

And protect spell swap in, and sometimes hp/mp, and enmity swap in. I'll never regret choosing Srivatsa as my second aeonic, its just a damn cool shield.

Duban rank 2 is 85% block rate, 98-100% with reprisal up vs mobs level 160+?

Me personally even if its rank 3 that gets those stats I wouldn't unretire Pld without getting a Duban first, it looks top of line and fairly easy to obtain. Rank 2 we know it beats Ochain.

Its called Sortie

Sooo... I wanted to unlock the Calimh delve stuff for a returning friend but I haven't done Delve in many, many, many years.

He only has a nice WHM as options.
I have RUN, SAM, MNK, DNC, THF, PUP, BST, NIN, RDM, SCH, GEO, SMN, BRD, BLU

It would basically just be the 2 of us and 4 trusts (yes I know we need a third character to enter).
Supposing it's even possible without too much effort, which job should I pick and which approach should I use to attempt to kill the NMs?

Colibri => meh, guess this will go down easy regardless
Bats => likewise
Bird => uh...
Apkallu => UH
Podarge => wouldn't this be incredibly annoying?
Calimh himself => despite the dispel and nasty stuff I bet this shouldn't be too much truble with all the ML, meva, capped DT and stuff we have these days.

Sechs, it will be much easier than you're thinking. Bring DNC or THF, or SAM with a Shining one and you will blast them. I've killed all of the NMs in there handily with BRD. The mechanics seem a lot scarier on paper, they're really very easy.

With decent buffs, you might 3-4 shot every NM, possibly before they even use a TP move on you.

Konzen > Impulse and podarge should be dead. It's been a minute since I've done it though

I think DNC might be the ticket. Granted we had buffs but in this video Posi splits off as DNC to solo bosses while I clear others to speed run this delve.

I run marjami on SAM, with mule on WHM or GEO and whatever third + trusts.
I use shining one for all of it, basically.
broxa -> let someone cast on it, kill
bats -> kill
bird -> kill
apkallu -> barwater if you're undergeared, impulse once or twice and it's dead
podarge -> stardiver>sonic>impulse and it's dead
cailimh -> same as above

they're dangerous on paper but with the gear we have access to they're all a joke. spikes can be painful but the fight doesn't last long enough, and podarge's mechanic is also rough but I managed to live thru it once despite *** up the skillchain, so.

just reraise it up if you're concerned about ***.

Marjami is one of the easiest ones to do from what i remember, did it on blu several times with just trusts, penguins the worst of the bunch due to the spikes but still doable with a DT set/barrier, harpy could potentially kill but again, dt set with barrier soaks up a lot of damage, can sacrosanctity if you wanna push it further(should be mostly magic if you just WS it down)

Big bird dies in a SC + MB along with 1-2 extra WS plus it also procs him majority of the time to remove static prison.

This is before unity augmented gear, ody, emp+2/3 etc and i didnt have a tp bonus weapon either so it's even quicker now surely

All right all right! Thanks for all the input. Will try to help my friend soon enough.

Sorry but I literally haven't done Delve since when it was actual content lol, so that's like what, over 7 years ago? XD

They're pretty relaxed apart from tiger and rockfin, mostly due to the silly mechanics on some of the NMs, gear creep stomps on just about everything nowadays, especially adoulin content

Yorica is the easiest imo.

As everyone and their mom is savage bladeing, and the zone is particularly weak to slashing, then 13/22 jobs can simply go to town in that zone

We need to make a petition for Naegling to be All Jobs

What sc is made if the Prime GAXE ws is used then Upheaval, or the other way around?

What if the other ws is Savage Blade?

Does Spirit Taker see any use in endgame MP restoration upkeep? Just leveling BLM right now all chill and stupid like, and at 300% TP it's dealing like 1020 damage and restoring all my MP.

You can Myrkr instead, it self target so you dont have to get into AoE range or need ACC.

Disaster > Upheaval = Compression
Upheaval > Disaster = Gravitation

Disaster > Savage = Distortion
Savage > Disaster = X

Should be

Have since tried with only 5, 13. Anyone have better luck with this earring?

You need to set Stillness+Lizard
