Taking a guess here but bears don't pee/poop as per the same reason they don't eat while hibernating, their metabolism is slowed to almost nothing.

Also, bears wake up several times throughout the winter.

Zebras generally appear to have white coats with black stripes. However, they also have black skin under their white coat and there are genetic variations which produce zebras with black coats and white stripes, or dark coats with only a little striping.

So, yes.

Some dude edited the wiki recently saying that Yonin and Innin are now on separate timers as of yesterday. I tried them and they were still connected, am I glitched?

Oh and I forgot, how I mine for fish again?

They didn't do any job specific changes this update, just the Abyssea stuff I believe.

hey Rae, can the same be said for Carabosse, and nin/dnc solo? Same 3 atma? or do we throw in MC for 20/regen? And is Briar really that simple? just try to stun merc/colossal and kite if it goes off?

Yes Eikechi he is pretty easy once you get the feel for his TP moves.

We have been farming him lately, me on NIN/DNC, one BLU/NIN for headbutt, and one healer of almost any flavor.

NIN/DNC should put up all of it's debuffs, and use TP inhibiting moves. Haste samba and full TP build him, spam steps to have stuns ready, only use stun when you see him begin to use a TP move. It can miss occasionally. The only time you need to run away from him is if he lands a merc strike for 1111 HP on you, because when that happens he will spam it 3x more times one after the other, you just have to kite him far enough to keep him away from your other folks and put distance between him and you until those 3 WSs are done, then get right back into his face.

With haste samba and at least one healer, after I have stunned him I usually reapply utsu, top HP off and WS. Following it up with another step for stun.

IF he get's lucky and lands a non-1111 merc on you, keep hitting him, he is a pussy cat, way easy.

My blu rarely melees him, unless he is bored, it pays to feed him TP as slow as possible. So that means with just me on nin/dnc for DD and tank we usually burn his HP down in under 5 minutes.

Also for Atmas I am forever using RR/GH/SS

Love the enmity, HP, Crit Rate, and Crit damage that combo gives me. But I am a firm believer in using what ever atma you feel gets the job done, I am sure there is other stuff you can use.

I think Carabosse might be a little over whelming on NIN/DNC from what I understand she likes to use AoE magic, which has always been the bane of any ninja, but I have yet to fight her so idk.

This is my current eva set, the legs have 9 eva on them. I am sure it is over kill but w/e.

I have a +20 eva katana but I never use it anymore, and my boomerang stays right where it is almost all the time these days. Soon as I get a flower though that will complete a nice ammo slot collection I have been working on.

I don't use this set on bria though, I use 26% haste *** kickin TP build, and an okish WS set. He has pretty bad accuracy, the only hits that should get through if any will be his WSs.

I need Hachiryu feet, Panko's Neck, Ocelot's Pants, and Apoc Nigh eva earring I think to have a ridiculous amount of evasion in my set.

i do eventually want almace for blu and kannagi for nin (though Masa for Sam, and Verethragna for pup come first for me, which i reckon i'll have to solo a lot of) I think Vere's on pup is very underestimated with the set bonus on pup's AF3+2 so I want to wow some folks, when I get the Veres as well

Carrabosse has been solo'd by Nin/Dnc before. Just make sure you bring remedy ointments for paralyze.

Care to elaborate a little more?

We just did carabosse tonight, with 8, and we died lol.

I wish people who make claims like Kirana would at least go into further detail like I did with Bria in this thread.

Not a knock on you Kirana or anything, just a bit more detail would be nice and helpful to everyone I think.

- 7 melees, one whm
- Non-mnk melees aren't /nin and can get one shotted by stronger spells
- Generic dumb ***

It's fairly easy to have one person fall against Carabosse in my experience - but eight means you're doing something fundamentally wrong. If you're willing to write out your basic strat I'd be willing to critique it with minimal trolling. I do it with an optimized Kannagi nin, optimized whm with +2 emp body and 49% potency, and any offtank without much trouble.

I did mine with a pretty average rdm and thf, nothing too fancy.

I really can't see Carabosse killing a competent NIN/DNC unless they somehow get horribly unlucky, and even then. Violent Flourish and MDT gear handles her BLM mode (or better yet stun the phase change), the only other significant threats are mute and breakga (again, VF sup) but neither are within a single phase change of BLM mode so you're still safe, as she shouldn't be doing too much damage in her other modes.
