Meteorite Question

[Pasquale]

Ok, so I'm close to hitting 55 getting Meteorite for Carbuncle. Now because I have free Carby, do I keep him out all the time to build TP for better meteorite, or do I just use it and send him away? I would think that keeping Carby out, while free, would be bad, because he would be giving the mob TP also, while doing very little damage until Meteorite.

Thanks,
-Pas

thats going to depend on your set up and how you play. I never left him out for it but I will say it Magic bursts well if your party is doing ligh chains ^^

didnt know meteorite was affected by tp? @.@ I think its a decent nuke that can pull off good dd I think it would be best to save it for the end of a fight or sc.

chances are your assaulting with your avatar so them hitting the mob gives them tp anways so not like it matters so much

my thoughts of course not great advice(as in amirite?)

Unless you have a paladin or the mobs your fighting have nasty TP abilities, just leave him out.

If he is "free" then you will be losing out on your auto-refresh.
However, if you are in a good pt you really shouldn't need that.
Situational.^^

i dont believe its affected by TP in anyway. I always bring carby out, Meteorite, then release. Sometimes ill leave him out but usually i just meteorite right away and the damage is usually a consistent 380 DMG +, When i leave him out and then use metorite the DMG doesnt change much if any at all.

everything I've seen says it is based on TP, so I assumed it was

It can do more damage with more TP, but it's like WSs where you're only going to notice a significant damage difference when you reach 100/200/300 TP. That's a long time to keep Carby out just to do an extra maybe 100 damage. Personally I only ever kept him out to build TP if a Fusion SC was going on, which was pretty rare unless you had a MNK in the party.

I always thought TP just lessened the chance the BP would be resisted. Also serving as a damage modifier with higher TP.

so I hit 55 tonight, and first thing I did was use meteorite.

Carbuncle uses Meteorite
Lesser Colibri takes 20 points of damage.

/sigh

Yeah, Carby's magical accuracy is going to make high-powered meteorites less common unless you're fighting mobs weak to light or bursting on a Fusion chain.
