    20 A1's and 10 A4's later....I am 12% done...and that was after using all my allied seals and law! 10 A4 as the solo healer made me want to blow my brains out. Even with a premade group taking it down in 3:30 it was too much to focus on with the grind wearing on me. May go casual mode on...

    After about month of inconsistent A3S groups because of people quitting, we finally made awesome progress this week. We got all mechanics post geyser add phase to enrage down in one night...consistently! And we can take out first gaol without LB/CDs/Pots and LB3 ST the boss. The issue...

    Maybe it's from playing summoner since day one, but I still believe BLM is the hardest caster to MAXIMIZE dps on for any specific fight. You get punished so hard for not pushing the limits of moving as little as possible and using Aether Manip. I am talking the difference between...

    Tec I can answer your questions. Shoot away. As others have said it is all changing soon. Few random tidbits that are good to know... 1) DOTs are snapshots of current stats when you cast them. Raging strikes/potion/etc. will apply for entire DOT duration if cast/reapplied during it...

    Really depends. I did my entire light stage farming Kirin. Finished Kirin the same day I finished my light. If you can pair it up like that it is not so bad. Honestly, prob not worth it. I am doing it for the looks / achievements more than anything at this point. I am assuming it is just...

    4 of those dungeons were 1 drops. The other few were 2-3 drops. I dunno, but today is not going well. 20ish runs and only 2 so far. Atleast one was DD. I was on pace to be grinding soldiery (spring water) over dungeons. Not going that way anymore. :P Edit: This was with a full premade...

    I can't remember if I read this tip here or on reddit. I just made use of it for the first time ever and it was a nice chunk of leveling exp. For guildhest first time bonuses, they are tied separately from class and job. So you can do all guildhest 1-40 as conjurer get bonus, and then all...

    On that note I saw a really cool macro setup someone did to mimic a customized menu. I may give it a go when I get home tonight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5g52OHwRGfk

    Dungeons, leves, guildhest, and hunting log. I didn't do many fates after I came back. Make sure you open up challenge log also for more exp. DPS queue is pretty long, but still wasn't that bad for leveling. Daily Roulettes are huge exp boost. There are a few leve's that are fastest xp/hour...

    Really enjoyed the end of the main story. Won't spoil. But watch the cutscenes! (Hourish worth of them??)

    I believe his shield no longer mitigates damage. It never was suppose to. Just a damage buffer. So against Cardes's Zebra for example you won't take zero damage.

    Going to echo that. It is not worth evolving the metal mimics. ESPECIALLY with half energy right now 30 runs of level 1 is only 90 energy. And that sounds like on the bad side of RNG. Just did 12 and got 3.

    Ouch on that last one Hey Wage don't forget to take advantage of the increased honor right now. You will get a ton of crystals from SHS on March 7th. If you have energy to burn before bed or going out you can just enter/exit quests rapidly. You don't need to finish them to get the honor...

    Don't worry about type. If it is your only unit raise it. One day you may get a better type. If the unit is even viable at that point raise it. I <3 my oracle Shera. Even with my lord one sitting there waiting to be leveled. Why? Don't need a lord one and her replacement is in future. The...

    Data I saw said 2 random allies, not everyone. Also, no damage on SBB. Too much of a pure healer. However, BB is insane! Fire/Water on other hand look awesome and they require each other to trigger the ES. Fire is new Rosetta! Water a Kira alternative for non light/dark fights? Lugina 6*...

    Since Grahden for this fight has been outclassed by Cardes I would go for the following... Lily Matah, Ulkina, Darv, Zelnite, Ardin, Cardes Friend. Should be plenty of mitigation even for the dark units. Ardin will provide you light buff that you would be missing from Grahdens. Use...

    Will mirror Elurin's suggestions, but emphasize that Rin has one of the best leader skills in the game. So good in fact I would make her your #1 6* priority when you have the cost. It will carry you for a long time in quest and trial content. Status immune, heal, and one of the best BC...

    I was able to score 2.4m again by swapping out one Elza for Lario. It actually works out well because your actual group doesn't change, and you don't have to swap out spheres. If you have a Lario friend up, make Elza your leader, and run 2x Lario. If you have Elza friend up, keep Lario as leader...

    Hadaron got ninja buffed. He is actually pretty good now. In fact, I kind of want him so I can replace kuda. Another 60% crit buffer so you can drop crit spheres and be at cap again. Kira would be the next one after I guess. He would be great vs bosses if you are not using tridon shield. If you...

    Same issue! Only have Oracle Atro and Lord Vargas. No Magress. If they release dark next I am going to be really sad. Have a Lance and Selena Breaker so they are all set. Eze I have a Anima, but rather have breaker also since he is more of a Mifune style character.

    Tridon so broken. Just recently got my own, first time I actually used him. Went with Tridon/Zelnite/Ulkina/Semira/Darvenshel/Cardes friend. If I would do it again I would drop Ulkina and bring Ardin for light buff. Zelnite healing was plenty. No items used. Just got home from work about...
