Trust Ciphers!

Bets on Gobs and that one Yag from ToAU only?

Like they will give us Shadow Lord to run around and hitting stuff...

Gessho

EDIT: It'd be great if he summoned his clones XD

Gobs, rats, lamiae (fits with the story), Gessho and SL technically isnt a beastman.

The discussion in the official forums is sort of interesting if you guys want to check it out

The OP talks about different possibilities for new "beastmen" Trust NPCs

I for one would love to summon Medusa, Gulool Ja Ja, and that troll who I have not yet killed and hung his head above the fireplace next to Medusa and Gulool Ja Ja.

I found this comment interesting:

I want the Brittle Rock from the Lebros Cavern Excavation Duty Assault as a trust NPC. It could cast wall and stoneskin :)

Aerns... so that when they die, they can reraise and throw more spears!

I want Satellite Spears for Trust NPCs. That way I can have floating spears like Xaldin from KH2. >:)

So I have 2 characters, myself and my whm, theoretically then in content such as reives that don't require me to be partied up I can have 6 trust NPCs wrecking havoc, has anyone done that? How does it pan out?

Provided your two characters aren't in a party together I don't see why you couldn't do that. I don't have a second account so unfortunately I can't share any information on 6 trusts, but I do know that just having my 3 on my character is a huge asset in colonization and lair reives. I haven't done any WKR though... wow I guess my post basically contributes nothing lol... sorry ; ;

I've done a fair share of WKR and Trust NPC's are used by 90% of the people who go in there. A lot of paladin ones for all the extra vokes. Not a bad strategy if you ask me.

I have 5 accounts and had 3 trusts out on each doing lair revives it was pretty insane.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet or not but I'm going to contribute something interesting I just noticed. If you are fighting a mob and change your target, tank job trusts will voke that target if it's in range. I had both Trion and Volker do this but I'm pretty sure it's the same for all of them. To be clear I did not attempt to engage the mob I switched target to, and it had not aggroed, it was simply in voke range. The tank's melee target remained the original mob, but each time I would change my target to the other mob, without engaging it, he would voke it if his timer was up.

This is a great tool, since you can get have your tank trust hold an add for you without having to put yourself on the hate table.

Hope this was helpful!

Prishe: Melee Fighter
Ulmia: Support
Iron Eater: Melee Fighter
Gadalar: Offensive Caster

Can't wait! Hopefully Gadalar is focused on AoE nukes to pair with his Salamander Flame WS!

If that's the case I hope someday they add some sort of Rendezvous Point to tweak with their combat styles. I would use Mihli Aliapoh more often but I don't like when she uses Scouring Bubbles.

I hope Prishe is a MNK/WHM, I think it would be awesome to have a primary fighter with some healing power as backup.

Isn't Excenmille a primary fighter that can heal?

True enough, but he is a PLD rather than a MNK and the WSs he uses are fairly weak, whereas Prishe from what I recall used fairly good WSs, which will hopefully make her quite an asset, so long as they finally fix Trust NPCs at high levels and make it based off of our weapons rather than gear at least.

MNK/DNC! :D or even DNC/MNK!

I'm excited about Prishe, Ulmia and Galadar but not so much for Pagdako :x

No, Excenmille sucks. Elvaan MP and Flash usage! And his damage sucks.

I hope they add Lilisette at some point, so Future Fabulous can ride again. I love her combat style. And not to mention, she'll make a nice addition to my harem list of Trust NPC's.

With the addition of Prishe the four NPCs of Heroine's Combat are all part of Trust.

Hero's Combat is also completed with Trion, Volker and Ajido-Marujido.

Mercenary Camp will be 2/5 with Mihli and Galadar so I would assume they'll eventually add General Rughadjeen, General Najelith and General Zazarg

Heroines's Holdfast so far is 2/5 with Lion and Prishe so we're still waiting on Nashmeira, Lilisette and Mumor.

Am I missing any other invitation battles?

Heroine's Combat had Shantotto, Ayame, Curilla and Prishe I believe, meaning it will also be completed with the addition of Prishe.

I can't wait to have all of the serpent generals. I want my trust party to have matching outfits like my own private army. Najelith, Zazarg, and Mihli are my dream team.

It will be nice to have someone else to swap in for Kupipi as well for me.
I'll try Ulmia out for a bit. Though I never quite got into Joachim personally. And I assume by support with Ulmia they mean - BRD/BRD

And please God let that be a third BLM we're getting there.

Gadalar, known as the "Flameserpent General" is a BLM. So yes, we'll have 3 BLMs we can summon at the same time.

EDIT: And with Ulmia we'll have two BRDs at the same time - so 4 songs. I'm hoping for double march song.

I haven't watched Gadalar closely in besieged and I haven't done the event fight. I'm wondering if he would use only fire based spells since he's the Flameserpent General and his special move is fire based. Can anyone confirm if he uses other nukes in battle?

I wonder how they will implement Nashmeira

You mean because of her Puppets?
