  • Re: Abyssea Experiences

    Mal, lvl 30 but they gimp exp production (unknown amount) if your under lvl 60

    Aight quick bastion guide from what I learned last night:

    - it does cut into your abyssea time, dunno if you can get time extensions from bastion, but you can get booted if you run out of time.
    - there's a conflux 00 that's free to warp to from any conflux which put me out just north of the a tual battle grounds. There's npc (galka in miserux) that you get some base armor from.
    >he also has an option to check battle status, martello status, and purchase some nice temp items (dusty potion III)
    Battle status let's you check the three areas that the mobs can attack from. Its a percentage. Based message like" the mo s are 67% likely to attack from the east."
    - the martello status has 7 different " warp martellos" numbered 1-7 (might not be called warp martellos, I forget it was late) they can go from 0-4 in levels and each of the 7 affects a certain aspect of battle (I.e. mob attack, exp per kill, and loot pool quality)
    - the mobs attempt to steal these martello boosts when they attack. Npcs also apear to aid in battle.
    - there will be a zone message informing everyone that a battle is starting about 2 mins after the likely hood of an attack reaches 100%
    you can get the bastion status at this point, and a zone message will start to appear informing players that the mobs are specific ammount of yalms away.

      Well, I just read thru this entire thread. X_X

      So basically,

      ... Abyssea fkn rools for xp, end discussion.
      ... In order to get the uber xp, everyone needs to be doing their fkn job and not being lazy azz @@#$@ies relying on everyone else.
      ... You can get, for the most part, decent xp (which is still great because camps, from when I left at end of June, sucked ass to find) if people are fukkin up
      ... The NMs are uber and require the same tactics of team-play that you would in normal end-game events.

      I haven't got to play ABCA yet since I actually enjoyed IRL this summer! Going to play it Saturday... crossing fingers for a uber run! (Even though FF14 is gonna be here in about a week and a half.) Apparently I can max out all my jobs and merits within that time if you find the good parties.

      Also, I've noticed from this thread:

      ... booting ppl is mean
      ... asshatery is alive and well

      Be kind. Rewind. ))))) and take a deep breath

        I finally remembered my username, yay!

        Anyways, I've been in 2 times so far. Well 3 if you include my first 30 min mini play.

        First time we were doing ok, go 30 azure, but we had the worst luck for chest drops and pearl light, and we only got 4 extra time extensions so I ended up being kicked out unfortuneatly.

        Second group i was in from the start, i was member #1. it was an odd setup, magis fight one, melee another. this time on cor not sam. But the blu wanted my regen, so insetad of coming over when i called, he decided to take the fight, ntop of the WHM. I complained. oh kick the cor, "he can;t do his job, can only buff one group", few more negative comments about me and yeah, you're going to kick me? watch this.

        So I tele-holla'd all the melees...

        I spent 3 days worth of doing nothing for a medicore group that want to kick me because of a retarded blu who can't do his job... yeah I was pissedddd

              It might not reflect reality. But the reality of not gear-swapping in FFxi is - you suk.

                Probably because of all the Thfs my LS has seen missing DE completely. Nothing wrong with the job, it's the players.

                    Can you add dnc in the formula, when i left ...everyone tell me "dnc" is not a DD.

                    I barely get anything on DNC even when i can hit like a ninja and does dancing edge 2-5 times a fight.

                      Who would say the THFs who outputs a DE every minute are bad DD? Probably the DDs who can output WS every 30 seconds, I think.

                      WS 2-5 times per fight? Really? lol. Not sure about the new zones, but if monsters last long enough that you can average over 2 WS per fight in Abyssea exp pre-update, that would be one laughably bad alliance.

                      Heck, if on DNC you can WS 2-5 times per fight on average in the good old meripo, would you have wanted to be in that party?

                        Like dancers ! oh i went there ^^


                        and then i read the rest of your post...

                        DNC/Sam can WS every Mob twice, even when their lasting 20-30 seconds. I'm not joking. DNC/sam rape any other job when it comes to TP. Presto is 30 second recast, 30 sec duration doubles the return on finish moves, and pushes your step acc (if your also gearing for ACC) to 95%. Sooo you have>

                        Saber dance >> near 100 fist swinging speed for about 2 mins slowing down to
                        Presto+step >> 5 finish moves + Reverse Flourish with 5/5 merits >>> 75 TP every like 30-60 seconds (less if you have building flourish merits)
                        Meditate >>> 60 TP every 3 mins
                        Along with +15 STP from job traits, +6ish from gear (raja+brutal) I mean... and I have shitty weapons, (azoth+jamby +1)

                        not to mention I was spamming Divine Waltz II, cure bombs...

                        Sam is no longer the king of TP, Dancer holds that crown hands down ^^

                        Also Pyric Kleos for 500-600 DMG + Climactic Flourish level 4-5 + 800-1000dmg Evisceration + 500-1000 dmg Darkness I'm pretty sure i could out DD some pretty damn nice 2 handers considering I can do that twice in 5 minutes, and that's rabbit pie, i could push those numbers higher with red curry, or carbonara

                        Shit is sick sick sick ^^

                        (also won a dark ring with : -4 PDT, -2BreathDT with a 992 last night ^^ i was so fucking stoked 2/5 on crests)

                        sorry got side tracked but my point was:

                        Dancers, If they are going full out DD, should be WS'ing twice on each mob, less only because it would be a waste of TP or your going for specific lights and don't want to kill stuff even in the best Merit parties ^^

                          Doesn't Climatic Flourish (1:30 recast) share timer with Reverse Flourish (:30 recast)? Not to mention consuming all the Finishing Moves?

                          Using Climatic Flourish doesn't seem compatible with the goal of WS'ing as often as possible.

                          Have not seen 500-600 average damage on Abyssea NQ monsters from Pyrrhic Kleos, but haven't seen many DNCs in Abyssea to begin with.

                            climatic flourish is flourish III so it shouldn't share timer with reverse flourish.

                            each flourish got different timer.

                            It is very possible to step, WS with 100 TP, step, (assume you get multi hit here) reverse, step 2 +presto, WS again. i think.

                            But i haven't really play dnc in a long while. It was never hard to Self-chain WS without mediate for me as long i have haste + brd song.

                            But i can imagine someone does evirsation > pyrhic kaoes for darkness with presto.

                              Like WFF said, they don't share timer, but you are correct it's not really advisable to worry about using climactic flourish, i ment that more as a capablities brief. Nomrally don't use C. Flourish for the reasons you stated.

                              So
                              No Foot rise > 3min re-cast i think? 75tp
                              Meditate > 3 min re-cast 60tP
                              Reverse Flourish (5/5) > 30 seconds > 75TP

                              so every 30 seconds you should be spaming 5/5 RF, which should equal about 45tp, to get full finishing moves.

                              I will attempt to save face a bit, and say that i was stupid when i said twice each mob, but i will say I probably averaged some close to 2 WS's every 1.5 mobs. I'll try and run a parser the next time i'm meriting on dnc, to get some decent "official" numbers.

                              Also Pyrric Kleos for me does 500+ most times with decent attack food (carbo, yellow curry, Pizza)
                              I got 6/8 Dagger merits, no closed position merits,

                              Here's my WS set, which is mainly dex, but I could probably push my avg dmg up with some more str... hmmm...anyway:

                                There is no denial that DNC can out TP a sam consider the speed a dnc can hit.

                                If you have joytoy with sword merit. You can have 2 weapon hit 2-3 time on each head with a 50% double atk (or higher if you have the gear) running @ MAX haste (dual weild V).

                                Then again dnc's normal dmg is so shitty you should worry about hitting 0 or not, @least i am ..since i am a taru.

                                I finally tried 2 abyssea xp PT.... horrible horrible! It take 5-6 hours to get 150k xp total? wouldn't i get more mana burn every hour?
