There's no section for the questions about these soo I figure I will ask here..
Online guides are cute but hearing it from actual people who DO it is 100x better..

First, Relic (AF2)
Of the three, which is the BIGGEST use vs other available items (IE: JSE, God Gear, Limbus Items, etc)
White Mage
Red Mage
Samurai

Second.. what's the GENERAL job of each one? ( I don't expect a full description, but a general basis would be awesome )


Third, Limbus stuff...
Of the same three above, which benefits most here? is it possible to run Dynamis AND Limbus or do they run on the same timer? What is the general job of each here if different than Dynamis?

I am still low level, but I am joining a plain Sky LS, nothing else.. and when I hit 70 with all 3 jobs I will begin hunting for more in depth shells that will allow me to keep my Sky.

Thank you~ <3
 
Then move it? New forums + tired = not gonna happen.

I read it after I posted.. and still don't think I should post topics in there since I am not an LS leader.. I figure thats more for events, not dumbass newbs :p
 
I would recommend checking KI. They have good write ups to all the af quests.

*edit- nvm, i misread
 
well i think this is trully up to the player. For example for most cases the rdm relic hat, and feet are great. The rdm af2 hand and legs are not so great. ( though for soloing legs = good) body though is nice but really has not use because the 15 enf of af1 is nicer. Thou to someone else they might like the hands and body for exp. Best advise look stats of each set and then think which job that you most likely want to play in end game
 
Both the AF1 and AF2 set are great for RDM, you just have to mix and match for whatever you need to do.

Same with BLM

Same with WHM

Both sets have some pieces that are awesome for some situations, while some are less usefull and can be replaced by other pieces.

As an example, a RDM might want to switch in AF2 body + AF1 hat when casting Refresh and Haste, for reduced casting and recast time, while they might want to use AF2hat + AF1 body for enfeebling.

WHM might want to use AF2 body for casting Regen, while using AF2 legs for bar-spells etc. So really, its all up to the player.


As for Limbus, yes. It is possible to do Limbus and Dynamis, as they are on different timers, and both are beneficial. Some AF1+1 are awesome, and a lot of the Ancient Beastcoin items are awesome too.

As for the general jobs of each one... its basically the same as in a exp party. RDM refresh + enfeeble and keep things slept/silence/whatever, while BLMes nuke and Sleepga II stuff... They need to focus on killing the stones mostly. As for WHM, well. They heal people, and occasionally raises...

Basically, if you reached 70+ with that job, you will know what to do, lol.
 
AF2 is very situational. For some things, like RDM AF2 body, that situation is while casting just about anything non-enfeebling. Others, like RDM AF2 gloves, are more soloing oriented.

Mage AF+1 isn't very impressive stuff, generally. Melee AF+1, on the other hand, is prettymuch WS gear. But some of that WS gear is so amazingly good, people wear it full-time. SAM AF+1 hands are like that.

Just look at the gear for yourself, decide what peices you think are useful and which ones SE added in just so they could have a full set.

As for the general job of each... RDM and WHM arn't any different than normal exp, but with more casting. SAM just spams meditate (as much as anyone can spam a 3 minute ability) and pumps out skillchains, preferably SATA... which isn't much different than normal exp with 2 SAMs.
 
Just a warning: Don't start dynamis expecting to get AF2. You'll be sorely disappointed. However if you think of it as a fun event and you just happen to get some AF2 you'll enjoy it much more. I've been doing dynamis for over 1/2 a year and still only have one piece ( though dynamis hates my LS for pld drops :( )
 
hehe I know Eulore.. same with sky.. I go to experience, the drops are 100% benefit.. however I don't want to end up with something of little to no use and waste shell time.. IE: Sam legs vs Byakko's Haidate.. duh.. lol :3
Right now I am in love with the Clerics Briault.. Auto-Refresh is always welcome.

y helo thar nobles tunic.

haidate is one of the best pieces of equipment in this game imo.
 
If Byakko's is mediocre... what in the heck is Neosquall's definition of a good peice? o_O;;
 
For Sam? It promotes nothing they need at that level except for the haste which isn't anything great over Shura Haidate, the hachiman leg piece, or dusk trousers(for /Rng). Really, most god gear is usually just swapped in with macros, and situational at best.

I'll have a nobles before I even see Sky, Dynamis, or Limbus... so that's no big deal lol.. The fat the Briault has it as well AND this "Enhanced Regen effect" I am interested in.. Seeing how Regen is a WHM's best friend.
