In order to obtain Nyzul gear for new WF/LS set, I attempted first real* nyzul pt....that means with real nyzul setup like DRK DRK DRG BLU SCH SCH.
I have to say the result is a bit frustrating, only went up to F77 highest with 14 clears, with lucky floors/jumps. In order to hit F100, need to avg 20 floor clears.
There are improvements to be make probably, such as change to /WAR for myself and go finish almace, since embrava + higher lv mobs makes BLU dmg came from WS/melee the most again, and heavy hitting DDs shine. I may also need to change merit to squeeze out few more dmg.
Either way, the most frustrating part isn't gear/skill requirement, it's about how much difference cheats(at least fillmode/Apradar) makes.
And of course, how much difference right pt setup makes.
I was forced to rep a member when he only has WHM BST SMN, and none of the above job works well in nyzul(tried both WHM and BST, just not cutting it)
Next probably have to rep the DRG if she doesn't do OAT polearm or lv SCH, since she is slightly expressing resistance to improve gear nor lv another job.
I've been trying to be a nice person all the time, and nice to my friends, but eventually have to face the cruel reality, that I can't win if I don't kick some friends.
And I can't win if I don't use 3rd pt tool, maybe even forcing others to use it.
God, I hate this event. I'm starting to think that SE wants VW be "causal" event, and Nyzul/legion be "hardcore" one.
"Hardcore" events that requires cheats ;(
And this event turned me into an elitist ass hole picking on friend's gear and kicking ppl, not that I'm not an elitist already, but this event made me actually have to do all the dirty work, kick ppl for real and speak out loud.
Hate nyzul ;(

-------------------------------------------
Anyways, some additional notes.
Some discussion on BG talked about apoc v.s rag for DRK, and there are opinions about Rag being stronger DD weapon and apoc better for new nyzul.
It seems that with embrava, it's very easy to solo everything on any job. If rag does do more dmg than Apoc, failed to see how Apoc is better when survive-ability isn't an issue. I don't even bother to waste time on casting stun(unless the mob charms) sleep nor cure most of the time and just keep killing. Personally I doubt BLU is needed with embrava as well. Heavy hitters like DRK WAR still has slightly more dmg output, that BLU IMO is just there as a safety net, for stun/blue magic cure and dmg(in case white magic/WS lock popped)
Now need to seriously improve BLU's dmg, inc huge gil lose ;(

Ragnarok > Apoc if surviving isn't an issue.
ReplyDeleteDrgs is weak without a proper weapon.
Blus must have Almace.
As a matter of fact all your DDs must have the best weapons or feasible alternatives(Empyrean, Relic, OAT) which brings me to my next point.
Sorry to break it to you but the new Nyzul is NOT for casuals. Unwillingness to adapt to changes show that some of your team is not yet ready to tackle Neo-Nyzul.
APRadar and fillmode are almost required to get anywhere. Clipper on the other hand will boost your floor speed at an incredible rate but it is also cheating. In fact, all of these things are cheating. It is up to you and your group whether you want to cross that line.
Sucks to be leader. Sometimes you just got to be that asshole(comes with the job) if you want to succeed. Being the nice guy will have you walked on or failing.
The problem is:the DRG has empy polearm, but it is slightly weaker than OAT, and the DRG doesn't seems to want to do an OAT.
ReplyDeleteI can understand the feeling, after you spend this amount of time on an empy PA(which takes slightly more time to do than other empy), it's getting shit all over the place.
My biggest problem isn't the gear requirement though, gears can be improved, but cheating is a line that everyone not comfortable with.
If cheating is something you are not willing to do, then there are three remaining factors: Gear, Skill, Luck. Two of those can be controlled.
ReplyDeleteEmpyreans generally hold sentimental value to the person who owns it, however the fact remains that it simply will not work for Neo-Nyzul.
Skill is another factor you must look at. Ask yourself a few questions such as--
Are your DDs surviving?
Any compatible skill chains that will speed up boss kills?
Are there proper stuns/sleeps?
Are your sch's doing a proper job getting status effects?
Are you sending a person back to lamp right before a floor is completed?
There are many other small things you can improve which will add up in the end.
Remember you only get 30 minutes. Every second really counts.
Technically one person was using Apradar/fillmode, that's when I noticed the difference between fillmode and none-fillmode users ;<
ReplyDeleteSurvive-ability isn't really an issue with embrava and regen V, I'd say there are 0 needs to play defensively unless it's charm mob or spell casting mobs. That's why it's hard to imagine that Apoc being a "better" weapon than rag in nyzul. It's probably the best to have both and use the right one depending on situations, but most of the times I'd imagine Rag being superior option for DRK.
I usually have 1 SCH wait at lamp, but I guess have both go help kill with nukes then run back at lamp with right time is better.......that requires the use of fillmode/apardar probably though ;<
Skill chain for NM/boss looks like a good idea, thanks for bringing that up ^^;
