WP is awful, AK takes long unless everyone is geared. Prae is still the fastest way to get 100 tomes and I have no clue regarding CM, what a shitty dungeon.
unless +1 only adds 1 to your damage like BRD :|
I think I'm gonna get ring next.

Awesome, I can't wait to try it now.
why not just spend some time putting together a group on your server rather than queuing for groups and instantly leaving?
How often do prae runs hit sub 20 mins?
Alucrid runs with the best-geared people in our free company, so it's not surprising.

Didn't someone figure that 1 WD is like equivalent to 7-8 of your main stat or something? Combined that with the additional stats, it's still not too bad looking, I think.
MNK doesn't have to worry though. 2 WD and extra stats over standard Spharai. =o
I don't have those kind of friends, and I don't want to be one of those RELIC FULL AF2 NO PS3 ONLY shouters in town so.... 25 minutes is good enough for me.
yea I think you're right. I prob would have gone with relic+1 first but I just had to have the BRD hat. style >>> all
where is my Optical Hat, I need my pointy hat back SE

I just now got another one. That makes three today, and six yesterday. I hope the maintenance tonight gets rid of it cuz my patience is wearing thin.
It scales upwards with primary damage stat.
The higher the primary stat, the greater the WD output.
In the end it comes to the same point,
not getting through Twintania

If it's any reassurance, I got 90k'd mid craft and when I logged back in I still had all my mats.
I forget the intricacies of the calculation but the AF+1 body for bard was found to be much better than the relic+1 because it only has +1 WD.

That nearly all GAF CM run was rather hectic but fun.

Maple here. Sorry Xelios, my internet just completely died and doesn't seem to be coming back. 
It does outweigh it for bard, iirc, but not by much. Either way, the way the damage is calculated for skills the way work out, both primary bonuses and WD scaling to goes hand in hand.
Yeah, going to disagree. Vengeance and Bloodbath only gets good returns when there are lots of enemies. So basically trash. For bosses that are actually a threat, Vengeance is better used as a wrath builder during phases where you need to use IB but Infuriate is on cooldown.
I'd say our strongest defensive cooldown is also our strongest offensive one, Berserk. Combine it with IB, and preferably Inner Release, and you can get some great returns. Make sure Storm's Eye and Maim are up of course.
The gear/HP you listed on last page should be good for Titan. There will still b OH SHI- moments though, and really this is a test on your healers. Even if you play perfectly you gotta accept that there's not much you can realistically do to mitigate the kind of damage he puts out in post Heart phase.
Best thing to do is to learn his rotation, get it down by heart, so you can always be preparing for the table flip. Get used to how much damage you take from it and find a reliable minimum HP needed to survive. If you are not at that threshold then IB or Thrill. If you're a bit lower than usual a little bit before use Convael to help healers get you topped off. Healing after a flip can be helpful, but there is a slight lull in attacks there and generally speaking surviving the flip is much more important than healing after it.
No matter what happens, you will eventually run out of cooldowns, and at that point all you can do is trust your healers. Personally, I found the bigger cooldowns like Berserk'd IB or Thrill were best used for the MB that comes after bombs, as that is likely your healer's busiest time and they may not be able to top you off. In comparison the one that kinds after gaol is a pretty peaceful time - as peaceful as Titan gets at least.
Hope that helps some. I don't really keep up with everything in this thread, so if you have any questions (and are on Ultros) you can whisper me in game. Name is Krael Bastion.
I need just a few more Tomes of Philosophy before I have my full DL set. I have the AK neck/ring/earrings with my DL wrist/ring. I also have Garuda's weapon.
My goal is to get that last remaining piece and finally start HM Titan. I've been watching a lot of videos of the battle, but I know that can only take you so far. I look forward to it either way. If, at the very least, I'll have some nice music to listen to [Titan's theme].

People were suggesting Mor Dhona to me before, try that?
Thanks, I'll give it a try. I guess it would make the two areas more even now.
It's incredibly easy to make sure you have a good CM or Prae story experience. You don't need to find 7 other people. You just need 2 tanks or 2 healers
you don't need 2 tanks or 2 healers for prae lol
Unfortunately no one in Mor Dhona is fate farming anymore. Stick to cortheas or tough it out in north thanalan :/

Can’t stump the diablos
Really glad I grinded my alt to 50 a couple weeks back. The run from 42-50 will be terrible without DD.
DD as you probably know/knew it is also dead.
People were actually reporting players to SE for killing the lambs.

Just hit level 37 on Goldsmith.
Is Flawless Synthesis as completely useless as it seems? Just wanted to make sure I'm not missing something as it seems like an incredibly lackluster ability for being level 37.
Guess I should add that I have Careful Synthesis II as well so maybe that's why it seems so pointless.

Ugh, I really need to get off my butt and get Stone Vigil done so I can proceed with the story. I've logged in about ten times in the past week intending to ask the FC if anyone wants to do it, but then just not really wanting to be online and I'll just log off. I guess I'm just stressed from the whole shutdown thing and can't concentrate. Hopefully with that resolved, and me back to work, I'll get on doing that this week . . . or I'll actually start a gathering or crafting job which I have yet to do. We'll see.
There are people in the FC right now who are FATE grinding there.
There is another solution. They could just take out tomes completely from CM and Prae and leave them as story instances.
But as a countermeasure, so they don't end up in the same fate as Cape Westwind, CM and Prae could award upwards of 250 tomes so long as someone in your party has not completed the instance. They already have this feature in-game anyway with xp bonuses.

It costs less tomes than the darklight chest armor
that darklight stuff is so ugly, imo..
of course, it means you need a hat, since the Darklight cowl is a head/body combo, but I think my AF+1 hat will do fine for that purpose.

Tights also. Goes Tights > Body > Weapon or Tights > Weapon > Body
Eh, I think I'll just wait until I can nab the robe from coil and then gather up the mats for the hat.
You'll pay out the nose for the materia to slot it though

yeah, that's true. Materia prices can get pretty crazy.
I only got the Vanya robe because I didn't want to wear darklight. (I hate all of the two-slot armor pieces.. the tank one looks the worst, though.. like a damn can opener.)
You can sub it and breeze through 1-30 on other jobs. It also ignores the level-based penalty to completion if you're going for a stretch synth.
