    I'm a little tempted to do 1 pull here, mostly for synergy, but a bit of a tilt at Scott's BSB. I have little II stuff, and little fire stuff.

    But so much good shit comin down the line...

    New event is super short? How much stuff are we getting on Sunday?

    Yeah, there's only 8 mythril in the dungeons instead of the usual 10 plus 2 mythril for the 3* stages of MP. What gives? Is it because of the daily and monthly mission mythril?

    I have 15 full events + like 6-8 Ultimates to do so far.

    Yes, they're going to risk expiring, especially when factoring in next week's Magicite runs still and this week's event and one crack at Torment trying for the CM3.

    You joke, but they're going to have to go somewhere, now that all the playable characters are taken.

    Don't be surprised if they give us Gestahl, Daryll, Biggs, Wedge, or Maduin at some point.

    Hmm I'd put the events ahead of magicite which are always there and torment which come back, but that's me. I don't have anywhere near that amount of events though.
    I wonder if its worth doing 60+ stamina stages for no mythril. Orbs just keep getting easier to get.

    Crystals and accessories and whatnot all the way at the top.

    We need a billion magicite to cap everything and I refuse to use a dropsniffer so I can't pass up the weekly at least.

    So I did a last minute attempt at the Dissidia MP fights solo, and I actually managed to pull it off after repeatedly banging my head against them over the past few days. Nothing tricky in those fights, just ridiculous amounts of incoming damage.

    I tried using one support - didn't work, way too much damage. I tried using two supports and two DPS - still too much damage. I even tried a team with two supports and a hybrid dancer/secondary healer, and it still didn't work because I couldn't sustain the breaks. What finally worked was:

    Raines - Wrath/Dark Zone, BSB, +13% MAG
    Irvine - Wrath/Entrust, BSB/SSB, Ace Striker
    Rikku - Heathen Frolic Sarabande/Exhausting Polka, USB, DMT
    Rosa - Wrath/Curaja, USB, Battleforged
    Y'shtola - Wrath/Ultra Cure, BSB/Wall, MM
    RW Wall

    As it turns out, I didn't use Dark Zone or Entrust at all. Rikku did nothing but dance and use her USB every few turns. Irvine Wrath-cycled between his BSB entry and his pentabreak SSB, switching to his BSB commands once at least one of the bosses was down. Raines did his BSB thing and occasionally w-cast for 45k damage a turn. Rosa did most of the healing, with Y'shtola dropping Asylum preemptively whenever Rosa didn't have meter available.

    It was a slog, but both stages beaten with -1 for actions and -2 for damage.

    And I want them to add Hien and have him occasionally get flavor text interactions with Cyan, perhaps whenever we have to fight Wrexsoul.

    I have the distinct feeling I'm not going to get the Cid Mission done. I have no relics for FFII characters.

    Well, maybe the +++ I could try. I just wish I could bring Leon and have him just go Dark Mage.

    Will whale out for Yugiri when she finally makes it in. Alisaie as well.

    Mog BSB is very very good. He's a hybrid Healer/Dancer like Penelo but his BSB is a billion times better than hers.

    VERY good. I use it on nearly all of my mage teams, with Mog either carrying a pair of White Magic spells (Shellga and Curaja, usually), or Multibreak and Exhausting Polka, so that he can debuff all the important stats and then get on with using his instant healing spell.

    I love that thing! I use it all the time on my mage teams, and honestly I prefer it over Yuna's BSB2. It's got the best healing command (instant Curaja+high regen), a built-in holy magic breakdown command, and Mog's got 5* dancer to help out your main support.

    Since mage teams need two or possibly even three buffs to work well, role compression is very important. Mog is a buffer, debuffer, and off-healer crammed into one slot, which can be a huge help in composing teams. Especially if you don't have Raines, Rapha, or OK BSBs.

    His BSB has been one of the two best in the game ever since its release (Party ATK/MAG+Haste and with good NE commands) and he can basically do most anything you want him to do on top of that (off healing or slinging ninja skills are most common and with his dive he is also a good Celerity or BLM user).

    I most commonly use OK as 1) black mage (Meltdown r3 especially), 2) Ninja, 3) White mage

    All of these usually involve a FB or breakdown of some kind as well

    I can't remember the last time I used him as an actual physical DPS
