Skirmish: how?

[Maester_Joeru]

Is there any real good strat for this damn Golem? or is it just pass the hate and attack when you can...? :S

[radhaz]

What we do with Golem is let hate bounce and attack as you are able. It also helps to have plenty of time for the Golem. Bring BLMs~

Greetings!

We're glad to see that you guys are enjoying Skirmish!

We understand that some of you were hoping to see Grand Company Seals, but the Development Team said that Skirmish's main focus is on these new weapons, and they don't plan on adding seals for that reason.

Thanks for the tragic waste of time.

Joking aside, I'm not sure if I'd really want to do it after I got the weapons you know.
Besides, we really need more ways to make seals.

Is there anyone on the team whose main focus is making seals be actually fun to get? Taking Chocobos for a walk for hours and hours gets to be pretty bland after the first 30 minutes or so.

I like the idea of GC currency acting as the game's effort-based currency, but more ways, especially more entertaining ways, to get them would do wonders for making this game seem more fun. Skirmish would have been an excellent, if not ridiculously obvious, opportunity to do just that.

You can do Ifrit or Moogle or Darkhold for seals if you are looking for a challenge, but no most people are not looking for a challenge, they are looking for seals handed to them in a silver platter.

That is why people do caravan, its easy and mindless. Then, they blame the devs.

You must be joking. Hey guys, let's spend hours doing content we did thousands of times before so we have an extremely low chance of getting a drop that will gives us an extremely low amount of seals! Honestly, there is no good, fun way to get seals in this game. Do you know how many Ifrit weapons you'd need to purchase a 25k seal weapon? Do the math. Most people in this game haven't even gotten that many weapons with thousands of kills on both. In Darkhold you'd need to share the drops between 7 other people. And, seriously, Moogle, Ifrit and Darkhold are a challenge? I'd agree with you if you said Garuda. Caravans, unlike your so called "alternatives" provide you with a reliable source of seals, without having to depend on the bullshit that is RNG. They're still mind numbingly boring and blaming the players for an oversight of the developers is moronic.

[Chardrizard]

Darkhold droprate is 100% from batraal chest and its definitely not easier or mindnumbing as caravans. I'd agree that ifrit/moogle isn't reliable source of seals, its still seals however when i went to help people with it.

Eh I just want seals to be included in current content that is engaging.

Caravan is easy and dull, Ifrit, Moogle, Darkhold are massive time investments let alone hard to convince people to even bother doing. Seals are not "Challenging" to get they are just hard to get due to the content that offers them being obsolete and deft of much reward in the first place.

(Caravan has the choco helmet to work towards at least I guess) But really giving a few seals for a Skirmish run (500 maybe?) if you didn't get a weapon drop sounds like enough to at least motivate people who have their weapons allready.

Definitely PUGable but tough for people that never experience the NMs. Combination of classes required because some have resistance towards melee.

wait, some of the bosses have a resistance towards melee, as in melee dmg? or melee's get pounded into the dirt if you're not a tank? WAY TO MAKE BLM WIN AGAIN, SE

[Altanas]

Not that I know of. On Golem it's hard enough for a tank to hold hate as it is due to its resistance to physical damage and there doesn't appear to be anything in the log to indicate hate reset. Probably best to have a MNK tank it with Fists of Earth and use Taunt if it starts to wander off.

Tried this, was so much fun. Oddly enough is Golem weak to Fists of Earth lol?
