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
HOT TURKEY TAKE
If I'm up I can do it, try pinging me at about 6pm
skarme
38 mins
HOT TURKEY TAKE
oh
HOT TURKEY TAKE
yeah I can pack the Celes
skarme
<3
HOT TURKEY TAKE
Indonesian Blade seriously does completely and utterly chump this boss
HOT TURKEY TAKE
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
HOT TURKEY TAKE
I'll probably bring what I did for my pubbie apoc clear, which is to say Celes + Garnet with Curaja/Slowga
HOT TURKEY TAKE
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
Uncontrollable
Sure I can come.
Uncontrollable
You want my usual pair?
Necromantic
Do we have Wall?
Uncontrollable
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
Uncontrollable
Man I ought to go hone that again if I can
Uncontrollable
BRB
Uncontrollable
Who we focusing first?
Necromantic
Middle, bottom, top
HOT TURKEY TAKE
just don't use non-wind on top
Uncontrollable
Ramza get your yelly ass in gear
Necromantic
Forgot to swap Zack's Soulbreaks whoops
Uncontrollable
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
HOT TURKEY TAKE
when I said Indomitable Blade trivializes this
HOT TURKEY TAKE
I mean
HOT TURKEY TAKE
it really trivializes this
Uncontrollable
As it can do.
skarme
sword is soloing rn...
Uncontrollable
I'LL SUPPORT
Necromantic
I know, I've done it. It's just taking forever because I don't have a burst equipped 
Uncontrollable
Man I feel useless again
HOT TURKEY TAKE
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
HOT TURKEY TAKE
you aren't useless though, Dragon; Eiko BSB has been doing most of my damage for me
Uncontrollable
3 healers may have been overkill 
skarme
I too am accomplishing nothing 
Uncontrollable
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
Uncontrollable
Yeah I do
HOT TURKEY TAKE
celes helps a lot less with bort but she can still do work
skarme
wanna do him after these
skarme
Uncontrollable
Well she can't make everything pointless 
skarme
(sword ax you don't have to if you don't wanna)
Uncontrollable
I am so sad Eiko didn't get that kill
HOT TURKEY TAKE
(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
HOT TURKEY TAKE
yeah it's bort that's the issue
HOT TURKEY TAKE
I'm still kind of frysquinting at the idea of running that with other players again
skarme
0989 is up again!
Uncontrollable
We're in black waltzes again
Necromantic
There are 2 of them
Uncontrollable
Oh I got confused
HOT TURKEY TAKE
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
Uncontrollable
Ha ha haaaaa
Necromantic
Yeah. My state job is very different than yours.
skarme
buh bye
Uncontrollable
I have today off! I just didn't have the past two days.
Necromantic
much faster.
skarme
thanks ax!
HOT TURKEY TAKE
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!!
HOT TURKEY TAKE
I am in no rush to try to gear up for barfy
Uncontrollable
Eh, I'm good with whatever. I need to go solo Odin at some point while I'm thinking about it...
HOT TURKEY TAKE
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
HOT TURKEY TAKE
:T yeah, this is the issue, we need to consolidate all the absurdity
Uncontrollable
...I need to hone a third lifesiphon, clearly
HOT TURKEY TAKE
my problem is I want to take like ten characters
skarme
hokay pants reequipped
HOT TURKEY TAKE
Celes runicking, OK on DPS/hastega duty, Sazh for shout-level boost + mblink, Y'shtola heals...
HOT TURKEY TAKE
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 
Uncontrollable
Hey my options aren't THAT terrible I don't think...
HOT TURKEY TAKE
no, they aren't
skarme
my problem is that those ten characters would be better than any two characters I could field
HOT TURKEY TAKE
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
HOT TURKEY TAKE
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...
HOT TURKEY TAKE
VAAN IS SUPER USEFUL do not discount the stacking magic break
skarme
... and mblink
HOT TURKEY TAKE
vaan can be the difference between life and desu in that like two frames between dispel and shell/wall coming up
HOT TURKEY TAKE
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
HOT TURKEY TAKE
refia is good deeps too
skarme
or Zidane if someone else can bring the actual wind team I guess
Uncontrollable
I have ONLY physical DPS
HOT TURKEY TAKE
my "actual wind team" is indobread snowspell strike
Uncontrollable
And Papalymo
Uncontrollable
I guess I could work up Annoyphinaud for Deployment Tactics eventually
Uncontrollable
I can't even geeeeet snowspell strike
HOT TURKEY TAKE
yeah gating the 5* skill motes behind torment dungeons is hideously dumb
skarme
torment dungeons are dumb 
HOT TURKEY TAKE
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
Uncontrollable
feeeeh I need vitality motes
Uncontrollable
OK really needs his ninja sphere mastered
skarme
I'm kitted out for whenever we want to do this
HOT TURKEY TAKE
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.........
Uncontrollable
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
HOT TURKEY TAKE
man I am also providing valuable buffs in bartyfight
skarme
I too am providing semi valuable buffs
HOT TURKEY TAKE
we seriously need a dps player and/or someone with wall
Uncontrollable
I reaaaaally wish I could get my hands on OK's burst
HOT TURKEY TAKE
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
HOT TURKEY TAKE
you know all the peeps I do, skarme
Uncontrollable
No one loves me, you know that
skarme
I don't know... phee?
skarme
I don't know phee
HOT TURKEY TAKE
purpleminiskirts
skarme
I don't know who else I don't know, I think I pinged everyone I know up there
HOT TURKEY TAKE
plus there's the fact it's also, well
Necromantic
okay.
HOT TURKEY TAKE
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?
HOT TURKEY TAKE
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...?
HOT TURKEY TAKE
between thundering twinstrike and snowstorm strike, Celes can provide some dps unless bart decides he doesn't want to counter
Uncontrollable
Forcing physical DPS is my life
HOT TURKEY TAKE
in which case she'll run dry really quick
Necromantic
I can do Refia or I can do Zack
HOT TURKEY TAKE
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
HOT TURKEY TAKE
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?
HOT TURKEY TAKE
ehhhh, hard to say
HOT TURKEY TAKE
but yeah, the thing about zack imperil for charging Abdominal
Uncontrollable
Yeah I can LS and Shout out more in that case
HOT TURKEY TAKE
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?
HOT TURKEY TAKE
...hell if you bring Celes instead of Refia I can pack OK
skarme
oh that would be good actually
HOT TURKEY TAKE
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
HOT TURKEY TAKE
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
HOT TURKEY TAKE
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
HOT TURKEY TAKE
it doesn't, as long as it's one or the other
skarme
nah they're the same, he's not weak to either
HOT TURKEY TAKE
should I have backup shellga or curaise on y'shtola
Necromantic
Curaise
skarme
curaise maybe
HOT TURKEY TAKE
I feel like Shellga will be more important but
HOT TURKEY TAKE
ok
Necromantic
in case he decides "fuck Eiko" again
skarme
she's like 6 smh
HOT TURKEY TAKE
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
HOT TURKEY TAKE
I just have one honed...twice
Necromantic
Lifebane and Northern Cross come up more
skarme
I haven't even unlocked meltdown...
HOT TURKEY TAKE
(Lifebane was really nice when Zell was on my A-team ok)
Uncontrollable
I have no 6*s period, so...
Necromantic
Did we bring a dispell?
skarme
.. no
skarme
skarme
we should have
