skarme
[FFRK] and double plurk but OK WHO IS UP FOR APOC/U+ BLACK WALTZES at about 6pm when I get home
skarme
or even just wants to talk about it
Awe
If you have a Runic effect it's not a big deal at all
Necromantic
Yeah, it's...actually incredibly easy
skarme
getting a pub party to properly focus when there's 3 targets from the beginning looks like the hardest part from a cursory skim
skarme
I don't have runic so I still want to party up for apoc at least
Necromantic
When's 6pm for you? I'm bad with timezones
Awe
Slow and Wind are medal requirements
(it's a helmet)
If I'm up I can do it, try pinging me at about 6pm
skarme
38 mins
(it's a helmet)
oh
(it's a helmet)
yeah I can pack the Celes
skarme
<3
(it's a helmet)
Indonesian Blade seriously does completely and utterly chump this boss
(it's a helmet)
goes double for if you have an mblink of some sort to avoid the four or five whole AoEs you might see the entire fight
skarme
I can bring Vaan and an mblink
(it's a helmet)
I'll probably bring what I did for my pubbie apoc clear, which is to say Celes + Garnet with Curaja/Slowga
(it's a helmet)
that gives a hastega and runic
Necromantic
I'll probably be free. Ping me. I can bring...something.
Necromantic
Zack and a dancer maybe
skarme
in that case should I take minfilia over vaan for boost :|a
Necromantic
I can bring Ramza instead
Necromantic
bring Vaan i'll bring Ramza
skarme
kk
Necromantic
Zack and Ramza. his burst will curbstomp the wind weak ones
skarme
skarme
I also have imperil-wind on Fang but that might be unnecessary
Necromantic
It is. Zack's is an imperil too
skarme
oh of course
Awe
I don't think I can join you guys this time though
skarme
AxiomaticGrue kataranisword HELLO I AM HOME ARE YOU STILL IN
Necromantic
yeah I'm free.
skarme
and anyone else need a clear?
skarme
0989 should be up
skarme
lucineblue Holsety Dragonoflife
Oldest Dream
Sure I can come.
Oldest Dream
You want my usual pair?
Necromantic
Do we have Wall?
Oldest Dream
I honestly haven't done any MP since the last time we did MP...
skarme
sure, we're all phys this time atm
Necromantic
If you don't have Wall, dragon, bring Shout and Eiko
skarme
mbd over pbd tho
Necromantic
and I'll bring Tyro as a dancer
Oldest Dream
Man I ought to go hone that again if I can
Oldest Dream
BRB
Oldest Dream
Who we focusing first?
Necromantic
Middle, bottom, top
(it's a helmet)
just don't use non-wind on top
Oldest Dream
Ramza get your yelly ass in gear
Necromantic
Forgot to swap Zack's Soulbreaks whoops
Oldest Dream
Man I feel like I could have put more useful stuff on Ramza...
Necromantic
this is my fault I'm sorry I should've checked soulbreaks
skarme
dwdw
(it's a helmet)
when I said Indomitable Blade trivializes this
(it's a helmet)
I mean
(it's a helmet)
it really trivializes this
Oldest Dream
As it can do.
skarme
sword is soloing rn...
Oldest Dream
I'LL SUPPORT
Necromantic
I know, I've done it. It's just taking forever because I don't have a burst equipped 
Oldest Dream
Man I feel useless again
(it's a helmet)
eh it happens 
The U+ will go much faster when you have the right SBs
The U+ will go much faster when you have the right SBs
(it's a helmet)
you aren't useless though, Dragon; Eiko BSB has been doing most of my damage for me
Oldest Dream
3 healers may have been overkill 
skarme
I too am accomplishing nothing 
Oldest Dream
Yeah I provide the bufffffs
skarme
BASICALLY
Necromantic
Also don't think I meant to bring Northern Cross
skarme
IF WE CURAJA ENOUGH THEY'LL GET REALLY BORED AND LEAVE
skarme
oh dragon did you still need that bort clear? he goes away tonight
Oldest Dream
Yeah I do
(it's a helmet)
celes helps a lot less with bort but she can still do work
skarme
wanna do him after these
skarme
Oldest Dream
Well she can't make everything pointless 
skarme
(sword ax you don't have to if you don't wanna)
Oldest Dream
I am so sad Eiko didn't get that kill
(it's a helmet)
(I just soloed apoc bort, it was easier than relying on laggy netcode giving the chucklefuck Instant Turns All The Time)
skarme
wisdom mooootes
Necromantic
I gotta say no to that sadly, this is me taking a break from school
Necromantic
but let me get Zack set up properly
skarme
alright, thanks for helping with this one o7
Necromantic
No I can do 1 more.
skarme
ok! I'll do the room
Necromantic
especially since it'll be faster
(it's a helmet)
yeah it's bort that's the issue
(it's a helmet)
I'm still kind of frysquinting at the idea of running that with other players again
skarme
0989 is up again!
Oldest Dream
We're in black waltzes again
Necromantic
There are 2 of them
Oldest Dream
Oh I got confused
(it's a helmet)
we are, doing the Apoc, then U+, then back to Bortz
skarme
technically there are 6 of them
skarme
skarme
yeah, u+ should be quick and then Ax can go be a productive member of society again
Necromantic
Necromantic
Yeah I need to finish listening to lectures. I'm glad today was a day off
skarme
the mythical day off...
Necromantic
Government employee, today's a holiday so
Oldest Dream
Ha ha haaaaa
Necromantic
Yeah. My state job is very different than yours.
skarme
buh bye
Oldest Dream
I have today off! I just didn't have the past two days.
Necromantic
much faster.
skarme
thanks ax!
(it's a helmet)
Much thanks!
Necromantic
sure. I'll be around later if you're still trying Barty
Necromantic
I just need to shower and watch this lecture
skarme
oh I need a minute to put some pants on
Necromantic
yas 1500 greens!
skarme
do we wanna do it now or later?
skarme
omg motes!!
(it's a helmet)
I am in no rush to try to gear up for barfy
Oldest Dream
Eh, I'm good with whatever. I need to go solo Odin at some point while I'm thinking about it...
(it's a helmet)
because I'm kind of in that weird place where it's like "ok we need DPS but having two burst healers is important and does anyone actually have wall in our threesome"
skarme
this is the first time I've gotten something better than a growth egg at leader bonus...
skarme
I have wall
skarme
but no burst.
skarme
skarme
and also can only bring one of that or mblink
(it's a helmet)
:T yeah, this is the issue, we need to consolidate all the absurdity
Oldest Dream
...I need to hone a third lifesiphon, clearly
(it's a helmet)
my problem is I want to take like ten characters
skarme
hokay pants reequipped
(it's a helmet)
Celes runicking, OK on DPS/hastega duty, Sazh for shout-level boost + mblink, Y'shtola heals...
(it's a helmet)
doing it with a team of 5 was a lot easier than just expecting to be able to find a team that had full kit
skarme
our problem is that those ten characters would be better than any four characters I or dragon could field 
Oldest Dream
Hey my options aren't THAT terrible I don't think...
(it's a helmet)
no, they aren't
skarme
my problem is that those ten characters would be better than any two characters I could field
(it's a helmet)
my "problem" (lol first world ffrk problems) is that I actually have a lot of SBs that have good synergy
skarme
actually the bigger problem is that I have so much more mageshit than phys shit so I really want two characters in the back row
(it's a helmet)
yeah; mageshit is my big weakness
skarme
but if we have indobread celes and burst eiko then phys makes more sense here
skarme
for which I have... Vaan...
(it's a helmet)
VAAN IS SUPER USEFUL do not discount the stacking magic break
skarme
... and mblink
(it's a helmet)
vaan can be the difference between life and desu in that like two frames between dispel and shell/wall coming up
(it's a helmet)
where bart gets like 80 turns in a row
skarme
Vaan is great but he and Refia are literally the only people I can ever bring to phys teams oops
(it's a helmet)
refia is good deeps too
skarme
or Zidane if someone else can bring the actual wind team I guess
Oldest Dream
I have ONLY physical DPS
(it's a helmet)
my "actual wind team" is indobread snowspell strike
Oldest Dream
And Papalymo
Oldest Dream
I guess I could work up Annoyphinaud for Deployment Tactics eventually
Oldest Dream
I can't even geeeeet snowspell strike
(it's a helmet)
yeah gating the 5* skill motes behind torment dungeons is hideously dumb
skarme
torment dungeons are dumb 
(it's a helmet)
torment dungeons are the actual worst
skarme
... the time I cleared barty I also brought vaan and mblink, I was not lying
skarme
I guess I will field them again
skarme
can't host u+ yet for another hour though
Oldest Dream
feeeeh I need vitality motes
Oldest Dream
OK really needs his ninja sphere mastered
skarme
I'm kitted out for whenever we want to do this
(it's a helmet)
ok I just killed two knights (raines bsb is broken even as a rw)
skarme
y e p
skarme
that cm was actually fun once I started paying attention, but I might only have thought that because of scraping through Lightning the day before.........
Oldest Dream
I feel like the healer. "Everyone else gets the awesome DPS stuff and here I am providing valuable buffs" 
skarme
I don't have shout
skarme
oR A MEDICA BURSTSNJgfg
(it's a helmet)
man I am also providing valuable buffs in bartyfight
skarme
I too am providing semi valuable buffs
(it's a helmet)
we seriously need a dps player and/or someone with wall
Oldest Dream
I reaaaaally wish I could get my hands on OK's burst
(it's a helmet)
oh also if it wasn't made abundantly clear: bring instant death protect if you have it
skarme
sord dragon do you have anyone else you can ping...
skarme
or will we risk pubbing for a fourth
(it's a helmet)
you know all the peeps I do, skarme
Oldest Dream
No one loves me, you know that
skarme
I don't know... phee?
skarme
I don't know phee
(it's a helmet)
purpleminiskirts
skarme
I don't know who else I don't know, I think I pinged everyone I know up there
(it's a helmet)
plus there's the fact it's also, well
Necromantic
okay.
(it's a helmet)
the middle of a "normal" US work day here
Necromantic
I can wall and what else?
skarme
HE RETURNS
Necromantic
I keep starting lecture and mind-blanking
skarme
oh no 
Necromantic
I can't focus on it right now so
skarme
well, we are lacking deeps rn
Necromantic
okay.
skarme
and we're going phys again
Necromantic
what do we have so far?
(it's a helmet)
I'm bringing Asylum and Indomitable
skarme
Vaan/Rosa, Celes/Y'sh, Ramza/Eiko
Necromantic
So I'm hearing Tyro Wall and...huh. physical dps
skarme
mainly with the obvious sbs, except no room for wall
skarme
Refia combo with Eiko maybe...?
(it's a helmet)
between thundering twinstrike and snowstorm strike, Celes can provide some dps unless bart decides he doesn't want to counter
Oldest Dream
Forcing physical DPS is my life
(it's a helmet)
in which case she'll run dry really quick
Necromantic
I can do Refia or I can do Zack
(it's a helmet)
refia would probably be better
Necromantic
If...we were doing Magic I'd be better off but yeah I can do Refia
skarme
idk, zack imperil would help Celes SB...
Necromantic
because Kuja.
skarme
sb gauge rather
(it's a helmet)
not really
skarme
yeah my mageshit is so much better than my physhit too 
skarme
well, either works tbh
Necromantic
Do we want Tyro dancing?
skarme
if Tyro dances that frees Ramza up a little for lifesiphon spam?
(it's a helmet)
ehhhh, hard to say
(it's a helmet)
but yeah, the thing about zack imperil for charging Abdominal
Oldest Dream
Yeah I can LS and Shout out more in that case
(it's a helmet)
snowspell has two charges and pretty much the only sources of runic procs in the second/third stage of the fight is counters and dispel
Necromantic
I have Snowspell honed
Necromantic
And Indom. If you have a better DPS than Refia?
(it's a helmet)
...hell if you bring Celes instead of Refia I can pack OK
skarme
oh that would be good actually
(it's a helmet)
I can't say that's "better" DPS but it's more consistent
skarme
twice the chance to get haste back up
skarme
before we fucking die
(it's a helmet)
haste isn't the big fuck you though, it's shell/wall but yeah
skarme
yyyyyyeah
Necromantic
okay Dancer Tyro set up too
skarme
0989 is up again
(it's a helmet)
but yeah, if you want to bring the runic I will absolutely bring my ogre so that bart can get shrekt
Necromantic
Done
skarme
someBARTY once told me
Necromantic
I have Celes with Snowspell and the new Fire thing.
Necromantic
I can do the lightning one but I don't think it matters
(it's a helmet)
it doesn't, as long as it's one or the other
skarme
nah they're the same, he's not weak to either
(it's a helmet)
should I have backup shellga or curaise on y'shtola
Necromantic
Curaise
skarme
curaise maybe
(it's a helmet)
I feel like Shellga will be more important but
(it's a helmet)
ok
Necromantic
in case he decides "fuck Eiko" again
skarme
she's like 6 smh
(it's a helmet)
man it would be nice to get her record sphere
skarme
look at that r2 snowspell though
skarme
stares long and hard
skarme
whimpers quietly
Necromantic
Man, I have 3 6*s honed
Necromantic
Snowspells the one I use least frequently
(it's a helmet)
I just have one honed...twice
Necromantic
Lifebane and Northern Cross come up more
skarme
I haven't even unlocked meltdown...
(it's a helmet)
(Lifebane was really nice when Zell was on my A-team ok)
Oldest Dream
I have no 6*s period, so...
Necromantic
Did we bring a dispell?
skarme
.. no
skarme
skarme
we should have
skarme
maybe on celes
