Kaustra/Embrava

OK......

I am surprised he took off his head and cape myself. But this is just in. You can MB Kaustra!!!!!'

I was fighting Sobek and doing 4-6k Kaustra. I used MM + Cosmos + Ultimate. Their maybe better, but that's not the point.

So as I am known to skill chain on Sch, I did this.......


Ja Immanence luminhelix, JA immanence Stone = distortion +shattersoul Weaponskill = darkness.

I popped off my macro and MB'd Kaustra 9500!!!!!!!

The only temp I used was the temp for increase Magic acc + attack. It started with an A. I had voidstorm up as well.

So We can self SC + MB our two hour for insane dmg.


The best part.....The Dot that killed him 20 seconds later.

I am going to test this out on KC50 fights now.

Ya, setting up SCs for MB kaustra is one of the only practical uses for immenance as of the moment. Great example is start of Mischief's kaggen solo.

The skill chain I mentioned is insane. Without any MB that 35 MP + WS did 14k to seps and 11500 to Ironclad smiter and 7k to t4 Sandy VW. ON Easy prey in aby, it one shots anything that aggress you. Granted sometimes you can nuke, other times not.

JA0Wait

I agree for Twilight, with the correct weather up, it should be better than that other back piece, but for Nares the situation *might* be different.
Not sure since I didn't math it out, but the stats on Nares are so insanely good that they might indeed beat the 10% damage boost you get from AF3+2

Although its suprising, as taru sch/rdm (no int merits) in that set agaisnt a target w/ 100int, I have

with nares and romanus:
177 int, 68 mab, 10% klimaform dmg from shoes, 10% from weather, 20% from ebulience, 30% affinity

592*1.68*1.1*1.1*1.2*1.3=1877

w/ af3+2 head and romanus:

529*1.63*1.1*1.1*1.3*1.3=1763

nares head and twilight:

574*1.64*1.1*1.15*1.2*1.3=1857

Taking mob int as low as 60 twilight still loosing to romanus
768*1.68*1.1*1.1*1.2*1.3=2435

750*1.64*1.1*1.15*1.2*1.3=2427

How do you know how much INT a mob has?

To get specifics for a certain mob you would need to do actual testing. However a decent ammount of information exists for certain mobs, enabling for guestimates on relatively similar targets. For example EM bluffalos in abyssea - ule have 118 vit and are plds. Thus we can assume that lvl 99 blm mobs will have around 118 int.

If you didn't have Nares, would Chelona hat/+1 beat af3+2?

If you're interested in testing yourself, use Corsair and Blue Mage. COR can find MDB. BLU can find MDT. With these factored in, you can use BLU to determine INT. However, I recommend using BLU spells that don't have easily achieved inflection points (i.e. higher level spells).

I would, but I have no idea where to start or what I'm even looking for.

Well the testing continues. I do inside abby:

Temps used: TP wing and MaB temp.

Bri: get 100 tp before fight:

Skillchain Luminhelix + stone = distortion, shattersoul = darkness. MB impact 4200.

use both temps and same skill chain as above. But do Kaustra. Now your doing 6800. Put on hermin gaiters and run away or in a circle. he will die in twenty seconds or less.



"note" fast cast on lumenhelix, on first SC. JA"
