What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Popping a poison potion before fighting Diabolos Prime for someone, kicking in auto-attack, then siccing my automaton on big-D. Then realizing 15 seconds later when he dropped Nightmare on us that the first thing Kenbishi did was cast Poisona on me.

Poison won't wake you up from Nightmare.

Gear Poison does. When I did the Diabolos fight back in the say... the Sacrifice Torque for SMN woke me up every time. Poison pots and spell effects didnt... but Sac Torque never failed me.

Seeing someone use a poison potion and casting poisona on them is still pretty /facepalm.

Unless your motivation was trolling them. Like casting Refresh on a BLU.

It was my automaton. They're always facepalm.

Ohhhhh. I didn't get that Kenbishi was your auto.

Getting pick up parties to follow instructions is like herding cats.

Nation Missions, and possibly any missions at all, are incredibly tedious. I never noticed with Bastok or CoP because I spread them out. But rushing through Windy a couple weeks ago, and now Sandy, I've realized that it is just incredibly boring.

Only Rank 1 and 2 have skippable missions. Rank 3 makes sense not to skip. Rank 4, the only reason I can think of that is forces you to do it again is to re-watch the Cutscenes. They weren't so bad though since they don't take long at all since you retain all Key Items.

Rank 5-1, there's no excuse to force you to do again ,especially since you probably don't have the Glacier OP.

Rank 5-2 is simple to solo by any 75, nevermind Lv90 class. Only BLMs are likely to struggle (and only for the first part) since Shadow Lord's immune to sleep and he does tear through a capped Stoneskin quickly if your Evade isn't capped.

Ranks 6-10 are boring though. No skippable missions and cutscenes tend to be spread all over the place. Windurst's are by far the worst since a good number of them can't actually be done solo due to things like the Three Mage Door or those weight switches in Altepa.

2-2 and 3-2 are actually the skippable missions. I don't mind the early missions, and haven't gotten to the later Sandy ones yet. 3-3 and Mission 4 are the ones that got to me, because the cutscenes are exactly the same.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

WotG missions got extremely tedious towards the end, too. There's one of them that involves going to every location with a major plot point and watching a montage of cutscenes you've already seen that took place there. It's like a clip episode in the middle in case you forgot the plot. And that's not nearly as mind-numbing as the mission just a little before where you're collecting Lilisette's memories. That one at least had some halfway-interesting exposition but it was still over three hours of running from point A to point B.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

The 5-2 Fight was a bit annoying for me, because my dumb ass didn't set a single magical damaging spell before I went in. Derp. So I had to kite the fucker around a bit while changing my spell list, then change it back to finish him off.

Regarding nation missions specifically, I sort of wish that when swapping nations you could skip parts 3-6 simply because they are exactly the same for the most part. That said, the stories start with Rank 1 and build to what Rank 10 becomes so that part is just a weird segue in the story set up to introduce the Zilart storyline.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

5-2 for Windy, a friend and I were doing it together. He went SAM and I went WHM. The physical immunity part was a little tough, because Banish3 is good by WHM standards, but really not so much. For Sandy, we will probably switch roles, since I have WAR levelled now and he just recently levelled RDM and BLM.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

En-Light from Auspice will still damage him during the Physical Immune Phase, as will DoTs like Dia II and Bio II and the elemental DoTs. Elemental Weaponskills will also damage him if you have a way of gaining TP during that phase. IIRC, Drain Samba also damages him as it counts as an en-spell which is always magic damage.

But yeah you're best off saving your MP for Holy + Banish III + Banishga II for the Physical Immune part if solo.
