Aquaveil is about as hard to get off under fire as ss is, if you have it up sure, but it wears randomly so a double attack could have a chance to interrupt you. Yeah, 15 skill isn't that much but I'll take any bit I can get when it means winning or loosing, also not a fan of wearing -vit gear even if the diff is minimal.

Meh I don't stoneskin under fire. In the time it takes me to get said stoneskin off I could've cured myself fully. I'd rather cast it in pdt anyways if I'm taking dmg

Or better yet I could've grav, sleep, bind, stun whatever

Me too, nobody can hold hate to save their lives in an Abyssea party, Aquaveil is <3
Come to Fenrir and party with my BLU/RDM! I assure you hate will not be an issue =P

For rdm af1 legs add exactly as much as mahatma. However mahatma is useful for cures, nukes, and enfeebles and good be full timed.

Anyways as a taru rdm/blm nekkid I am 22 mind away from capping stoneskin and I have the lowest mind I a rdm/mage can get I think. That's not much since I more or less full time 22 mnd in the form of mahatma legs, witch sash, prism cape, goliard feet and bugard strap+1.

Enhancing skill improves your spell interruption rate for the spell which is pretty damn useful, I use AF because I'd rather get the spell off.

I'm too scared to come /rdm. I die fast with my lol taru hp and usually crappy or lack of healers.

Not like I don't keep decent hate without trying to at least 1/2 the time anyways on blu lol. Took me awhile to realize why I kept getting hate unexpectantly when I hardly did anything. The new refresh and haste pull rather large amounts especially with diffusion. Like overall 1/2 a provoke per target lol.

Aye, 320 CE each. Nice when I'm tanking since I can buff and generate hate at the same time, not so much when DDing.

I only go with LS peeps or friends, which pretty much guarantees me a competent healer. Only way I'd do pickups was if I was leeching a job.

Yeah I only know a couple of people that do it that I trust and make groups but they often get some pickup people... which would often probably put me on healer due to lack of competent ones lol

We get pickup peeps as well (small LS), but nearly everyone in the shell has a healer job so we've always got a member or two on healing duty. At this point they're kind of used to mostly curing me :x

Yeah though you aren't using blu then so meh... plus got most my merits by now.

I'd love me those items to but pretty much everyone here only does the canyon. It's friggin lame as hell. Though the small group I'm with is starting to do gold chest farming in the highlands. But with just a little over a pt it's kinda slow getting stuff.

I get merits on BLU then use my merits on 75/80 jobs that have those skills. I'm basically BLU or leeching lately for EXP lol.

I'd basically be done with merits too but hey, that's what turning your jobs spread on its head does for you. Looking forward to some fresh air though.

I convinced my shell to try bugards a while back and it went beautifully, they haven't gone back to Tahrongi since. Being able to build ruby light naturally does so much for your EXP/hr and I can build amber via Sanguine Blade.

Yeah idk bugards were ok I guess. But couldn't get TEs fast enough with only 9 to keep us in. And I don't have many 75+s. And less merits that are useful to me... though maybe I'll take diffusion up to 5 and be a more support blu sometimes
