Dynamis-San d'Oria love :3

Dynamis Sandy is kind. It gives me gifts.



I also got DRG feet a while back from Sandy auto-sort, so now I need some love from Bastok and I'll only need to spend points on the RDM hat before splurging on the DRG set.

New shoes MAB+4 is -probably- better than INT+4 from my gaiters for Tier 3 RDM nukes, but I've not had much to play with yet. I imagine that INT might work out better on more resisty mobs (which for RDM, is most things).



As for now, that's my high-skill set. I realise that I can use Master Caster's Bracelets for 7 more skill in the hand slot, and I usually do try to swap them on while casting if I really need it but I don't want any more nuke macros since it isn't the main focus of my job. 2 different (though they only differ in Ring2 and Legs slots) gear set scripts which I change as needed is how I operate at the moment.

After a long time shouting, and the gracious assistance of some friends, I beat an irritatingly difficult SL assault.



The 'difficulty' being you have a small chance of being able to find and fish up the monster that you need to kill in order to win. In the end (after 2/3 runs) we managed to fish it up in good time by cheating sod's law and fishing 4 mobs up at once (thus invoking the law that the NM would only decide to appear at the least comfortable moment). It was a little messy, but nobody died in the resulting confusion and things got back on track once we'd cleared out the adds. The NM ended up being less of a threat than the Krakens that you can fish up.

5 more assaults...


Oh, and I did some Nyzul (shout) runs for floor 16~20. First was ok, but we exited on the 19th floor because we got a crap ton of jellies/puddings/etc. to kill and wasted too much time.

The second one was better, but I was a complete liability (which makes a change) on DRG, I ran around aggroing things and dying twice during the run. We still won, and I did a 1.3k penta on Faf while weakened (although I had around 700~ attack from buffs). I'm not sure if that is very impressive, but that was my biggest (and probably only) contribution for the run. I got the clear, no gear dropped.
