Wild Fire

Ive been playing w wildfire for a while now and what ive learned is... MAB>AGI agi will throw out some random numbers... MAB is pretty consistent havent brewed with it yet but just on normal mobs.. also Fireshot adds nothing to WF other than extra dmg b4... i know it SC's with Raging rush and Blade Hi.. but thats all ive got.. havent tested with a bunch of ws's also dmg depends on mobs weakness to elementals aswell

The bonus on +2 COR feet is a 20% damage boost to that element for a small amount of time.

ah ok.. i did it on rng/cor since my cor isnt 85+ yet hahah

yes the fireshot improves the wildfire by 20% damage. i wasn't using much magic attack bonus at all for these, it was actually more AGI heavy so idk what you mean by random lol. but its nice to break the game every now and again ya know? lets you feel like a god among qq'ing dd's around you

oh and unfortunately i was /whm at the time because hit the left pad instead of the right pad by accident when changing subs in a rush lol. but i guess it really didn't make a difference.

well i stacked on AGI atmas and i stacked on MAB atmas then i mixed and matched and when i stacked on AGI it was just inconsistent.. dmg would jump up and down.. MAB was consistent but not enough dmg mixed i got about the same dmg as MAB atmas then i did what every1 else said lone wolf smodering +MAB atma and that works for me! so i stack on the MAB gear

if u check my profile u can see when i was last scanned thats my gearset for WF build rings r both MAB+2 and 1 has +3magic crit hit rate on it aswell ive yet to see +3mab from chest :-(

regardless of when i stack either mab or agi my numbers only change by about 10-15 dmg, and they don't always change then. they're constantly consistent per build

anyone brewed orth with wildfire yet? i would liek to know how it goes?

I also do my testing on colibris in Mis.coast maybe it has somthing to do w that.. i just pick them cuz they r weak to fire and piercing...

it probably wouldn't go down too well. someone slipped in a gamayun during that session and my wildfires only did about 8k a piece to her. and with his fire resistance it wouldn't go too much better.

Edit: try testing on Iceberg murexes at the bottom of the hill at flux1 in ulegeurand range. you'll love that. most i did to them tonight with wizards roll 11 and an actecics was somewhere between 7600 and 8k

yea i was wondering. i need claws for dagger. thinking about trying to cor brew it and see if it's good dmg or not. i mean hit rani for fireshot 43k then wildfire hit him for 66kish. was dead after that. i know he has fire resistances i just dont know how much.

rani has dark resistance last time i checked. but that was a couple weeks ago

i was talking about fire on orth lol. but im test it out see how it goes i guess

post a ss, if you can. my ls is gonna do some of those so i wanna know if i can brew it for them.

I thought Orthrus actually absorbs fire element. I wouldn't do it with WF anyway, Aeolian Edge would probably give better results.

np ill let you know how it goes as soon as i do it.

i dont think fire cures him. ill just have blm cast fire on him see if it heals it or not. while waste a brew when you can brew it 5 to 7 times with wildfire. if it doesnt gimp the dmg to much ill just brew a couple with it.

This. It casts fire spells on itself to heal. Don't use it on him.

k thanks. i dont remember lol.

Earlier in this thread it was established that "65,536" was the highest displayable damage in the game. If you hit for more than that, the damage would just loop back over to 0 and start again (Which explains how some people would 1-shot Shinryu with a 3000 damage Wildfire...) If that's the case, how did you pull off a "99,999"

This seems just impossible according to the logic of short integers. (Not that I don't believe you, I just am finding a hard time wrapping my head around this WS)

Could it be that the Xbox360 Version of the game can display a higher amount of damage in a single attack... and cap it at 99,999 instead of looping it around?? I'd be really curious to know if you had any PT members beside you, playing the PC version, to see what damage THEY saw you do. It might be possible that while on your screen you saw a capped 99,999 damage Wildfire (you most likely did more than exactly 99,999); maybe players on the PC-version beside you saw it as 34,436+ damage Wildfire...

Remember when cures were doing 99999? SE had "fixed" the damage log in that patch so damage displayed could go to 99999, but screwed it up too and made cures do that much damage too. Ever since then you can see damage displayed properly.

The last update they fixed the damage displayed problem. It doesn't cap at the ~65k'ish number that it used to display.

Also, don't waste brews on Orthrus. One solid DD, one healer. You're golden. They only take like 10 minutes a pop. if that.

Ah, nevermind then... mystery solved... lol

Hmmm... that problem has been fixed eh?

Something tells me I might need to demo shinryu here one day...I still need that twilight mail after all ^_^.

I'm having a problem atm. right now when i sub /sam i can't get meditate to work at all. i use it and no icon pops up and i get no effect. i've tried inside and outside abyssea and even in jeuno nothing works. using the same armor set that i posted in that pic on the last page.

There's an Icon for Meditate? Never noticed one before.

I've been using Meditate on COR and WAR without any issues.

Meditate has no icon.

I don't play sam often cuz it's just a sub so i guess I fail on that count, but Im still not getting tp from using it ; ;

Are you using some sort of virus potion (is there even such a thing)?

Are you switching your main weapon/shield/grip/ranged weapon?

If you're seriously using meditate and not getting TP you've managed to break the game. Call a GM.
