Entered AMAN Trove on my mule's SCH for RR with a Mars Orb. Casted RR, threw on Phalanx, Stoneskin just for good measure. I had a momentary thought to switch into a DT set but forewent that decision. Got past first chest no problem.

Second chest was the mimic, it does indeed wipe RR so I survived... but I took 2.2K damage and died anyway.... All my targetable trusts go "KO'd." (summoned Moogle and Sakura just to see what might happen)

Long story-short, wear a DT set along with RR. You "might" survive the Mimic.

We have a new song. Anyone who has done the new Iroha BC, did you notice if it was a new theme?

I presume you get to keep the stuff you've looted from the chests up to that point then exit.

Wonder if it gives you everything else, or if it drops anything too.

Seems to me that there are 3 wooden chest messages or so; important ones being the thud and thud!!! ones that indicate its added a an accessory or body (!!!) item to loot pool.

'Lots of spoils' message seems to give 2 maybe 3 lesser items; the new stone sacks, VW mats, HTBC pieces.

All tests were done at Horlais' BC.

tl;dr: Go til/if you get a thud message then bail if solo.

Had Earthen Armor, SS, RR, about -20 DT. as a smn. Nothing fancy otherwise.

In hindsight I should've RR'd trusts. FML.

Nice items. Extra WSD Ring! SAMs or people focused on x-hit will probably find this annoying, THFs and Savage Bladers will probably want this right away.

Really liking the new Cursna gear. If 100% Cursna wasn’t possible before, it most certainly should be now (either that or we can now test for a hard-cap?)

I see people trying pups now. Since you can't "death" an Auto, no idea if that works or not.

I don't think that SAMs are that focused on xhit builds those days. With so much multihit and zanhasso you very rarely hits just above 1000TP. Usually its a giant tp overflow.

Everybody shoots down the WSD ring on the first day of the update, but check back the guides in about a week and will be BIS in every 1/2-hit WS set. 10 STP loss? Man, with all of the combinations of gear that is available to us, and Samura's Roll, That might be worth the loss if you actually need the WSD and aren't losing something else of importance. I don't think swapping Niqmaddu/Regal Ring would be smart, but in the case where a job can't use those rings, it looks like a pretty good choice.

On a separate note Kyrene's Earring looks like a cool addition to the Pet Family accessories. Odd that it's a pet-earring and includes "All Jobs" though. Usually, they've been limiting pet-exclusive items to only the 4 pet jobs.

I would imagine it's even better for mage jobs that can't get those neat WSD augments and can't wear the cool Omen Rings.

That's pretty spot- on, because I have Haverton, not WSD ring.

Assuming you meant the thud!!! meant loud thud, I just got an annointed kalasiris from a loud thud chest. I did get a loud thud on another character, but I got Chironic Gloves as a drop, so bodies aren't guaranteed.

What kind of player goes in to a new battlefield without Reraise? That's what I get from this update. How many types of RR do we have in this game? I see it way too often, Ambuscade .. Omen .. Dyna .. now AMAN, there's always someone important (like a whm) who thinks:

"Hmm yeah, will I need to cast Reraise on myself today?? Nah. I'm too lazy for that. Let's just go up against this deadly new mimic with no RR!! Someone else will raise me .."

Seriously? I'm glad SE introduced this mimic to get people to wake up and stop relying on others to raise them.

This whole post reeks of 'better-than-thou'. The truth is, reraise is more often than ever a negative in a strong group. If you are needed whilst weakened, you wait 10 seconds for reraise to pop up instead of 2.4 for a WHM to cast raise. If you are not needed whilst weakened, defaulting to a 5 minute weakness is even worse.

Sure, if no WHM is present and you are on a melee, it may be a good choice. But, it's far from the situation you describe where only a bad player would not have reraise up. I personally choose to cancel it after Arise quite frequently for the previously described reasons.

(It's also not a new mechanic, Odin uses the same sort of move in Black and White.)

Isn't there something from one of the master trials that works this way?
Asura.Ladyofhonor said: »
So WHM just confirmed that the Cathwack removed her reraise. And so I pose this theory: What if you don't get one shot if you have reraise? Everyone sub WHM? I'm about to do Omen so I'm not testing it.
