Also, wouldn't Sagasinger be good for PLD when wanting to jack a buff from the enemy? Use your normal sword until say, Orthrus puts up his stoneskin and blaze spikes. Switch to Sagasinger, peel off one of them, then go back to your regular sword.

Sure, TP is an "issue", but honestly, that's a pretty potent stoneskin...

Hell, steal his blaze spikes then simply cancel it off yourself.

It's a tactical weapon more than a fulltime weapon.

[Sparthos]

Has anyone even noted the proc rate of the Sagasinger?

Tactical weapons require getting a proc in 1-3 swings. I doubt its that high.

[Tamoa]

Does anyone even know someone with a Sagasinger? FFXIAH has no owners registered, and I haven't heard of or seen a single person with it.

Theres some overflow in attack rounds, hence why it goes 100-100-0-100-100-100-0-0-0-0

but the basis is there: the stoneskin potency is...impotent.

We've killed like 20 adl, never seen sagasinger drop yet. Gotten the NQ sword like 3-4x though.

Are you comparing doing voidwatch for heavy metal to sell, to doing ADL for Umbral Marrow to sell? Really?

Owait, for a second I forgot who I'm quoting here.

You and nynja sound pretty noobish. Stop QQing about those trials because you can't solo it with your mule like for abyssea. Right when when the metal plates trials were out, the same people complained over and over because they couldn't gather 1500 plates solo doing voidwatch. The only point of doing voidwatch is to sell plates and due to the retarded droprate it's better to farm gil and buy from bazars. If you can find 18 gimps for 3-4 metal plates that take 1 hour to planify why wouldn't you be able to do so with arch DL. With 20 items only required to complete the trial, you will not have much trouble selling them for 10-15 M. That's the idea...

The idea of 20 items and not 20 kills is excellent because it allows gil circulation in the economy but I'm not surprised it didn't come to your mind either. In the end It's probably faster to gather 200M than farm 20 ADl drops. Personnally It takes me one entire run for a popset and one run for a single kill (most likely) so at best 40 days for 20 drops. In 40 days I can farm the equivalent 3000 metal plates which is worth ~450M. 450M/20=22.5M. So technically at 22.5 Millions Gil per Umbral merrow you will find buyers especially considering most of those that are considering upgrading a relic will not have spent that money on metal plates. That's the kind of math SE is doing right now.

[Nynja]

Please let me know when you kill ADL multiple times in 2 hours with a party of 6, I'll be waiting...

[Kimble]

Please post a video of it too.

[MarkovChain]

Dudes I just said it would take me 1 run for a popset and 1 run for a kill, learn2read and suck less. If you go with an alliance then it's cake just need sherzo and earthen armor. But due to the setup required it's counterproductive for the relic farmer while being profitable for the alliance farming ADL if they plan to sell.
