New Raid: "Specter of Destruction" - Impressions, Strats etc

[Masu]

Besides, you can just dodge it easily unlike mother's after-cubes or loser's swords.

Well as Su and as I did run this eq exclusively with this class since day 1, I had no problem avoiding to get rekt so can't tell if I'll say hello floor too. Just saying that my pugs (often NOT always) got caught by it that's all "

@Kril: Lol ic and thanks xD. Stll the 2 personality combined and with a steady parfait, this pet is a monster for current lq. It is tankier too :3

I swear I have not gotten anything of value from this EQ.

I got like 2-3 13* drops when it first came out and have gotten nothing but stones since.

I get sega wants to make it difficult to farm these end-of-episode EQs (since deus was kinda similar) but the complete lack of anything worthwhile dropping just really makes it annoying.

The only reason im really doing it at this point is because I have to 50 times for that stupid stone.

Yeah, I mean it's more beneficial to deal with the body. I actually went into a few pugs that can deal with both. It's even more efficient I think (probably, not sure) cause not only some people do hit the body, some others break the ball in benefit of stunning the boss.

But this is pug tho, maybe some organized mpa can go straight to when the boss releases its ultimate attack (which means only focuses on the body?), dunno.

@Flatflyer: The early drops are the bait (1st run, got takt +34 which I don't give a fuck since Zara/Rykros is the dream combo for me), that's why I always try to run new stuff day 1.

Spoiler!

With or off boost
Back to PD era, only worthy drop I got were 2 invade units and then peanuts but cubes.

Same with Mother which never ever wanted to drop EPD until Mom/Desu eq happen (and got it after I had and affixed one from crest exchange obviously 0u0 ). Astra units? No sir.

Deus eq was more kind with me until it decided to drop a +34 talis the same friggin run I got the last one to +35 cf one (positive side is I had not to deal with upslot) :v No rykros drop until Mom/Desu (again after I got one from crest exchange).
Ended to +35 my Kazami katana not so long ago for the sake to get it to +35 and beat the 2k satk barrier of katanas while knowing Atra EX is near the corner and finally got it to drop from enchanted forest while I wasn't giving a fuck anymore and was after jutus which were refusing to drop.

Dragon EQ was kinda ok I guess since I got Demonia Sword when everyone was still running after it.

O.Loser. Nothing worthy.
O.Apprentice. // // but S pets but it doesn't count as it don't make you deal more damage :v

Current LQ drop mainly Fi weaps of all kind and rarity while it's the one I play the least. I'm still trying to remember which drop was any relevant with the main class I was runing this lq... Wait, in fact none was.

People call for RNG god, I simply call this online Troll game xD

From what I've seen, skipping the DPS check is not faster though. Not by any measure, really.

haha. Troll game. Honestly there is a reason to all of this.

Currently there's well quite a bit of new content like 15* star weapons and new units etc etc.. to be honest there is not much going on at the moment to keep everyone busy unless you count masquerade which ends at stage 999
Hence the delay tatic and weird rng

I mean honestly if you found everything inlcuding the new content and you are told that's it for now.

Would you still continue to play as in really play and not just login for what a few mins ( 5 , 10 , 15 ) then logout

It's notoriously known gear is well affixed out of the box. I play regularily almost all class, have 3 characters to keep gear up to date while playing fremium so don't worry the game keep me busy way enough... (and my steam library have many games I've never played because of that :v)

Spoiler!

Also I shut up now because it's really becoming off topic : x

[Flatflyer]

okay nevermind I take what I said back lmao

still going to need to run it 50 times for the stone which still sucks but atleast I only have to worry about that now.

[Zorak000]

an individual's drops are basically a speck of dust in the desert for this kind thing; about the only real way to get an idea on how much the 14*+ bonus was doing is if somebody had a picture of the drop record from the end of the boost week, vs what the drop record looks like now

even though we can't even see a quarter of what even drops on the item record anymore....

I did get a phobos TMG and a celestial wired lance since getting the boost to level 10

i've had a few mpa's skip it and go straight to the chest which made the last part of the fight go straight to his all or nothing light explosion faster but there were a few not paying attention and attacking the DPS core anyways
