No joke, sub-ryunohige DRGs are point for point at best only on par with MNK and BLU, exceeded even; sad state of affairs that. admittedly I didn't account entirely for jump TP bonus gears and ***like that though

Then don't quote the whole post and put "False." DRG sucks without mythic, deal with it.
OAT DRG isn't terrible with good gear sets, I used to be able to hold my own in NNI, but on stuff like Provenance I'd fall behind down with the MNKs and SAMs, sad times.

Anything that can do damage semi-competently can hold its own in NNI.

Semi-competence is a pretty high goal to shoot for these days though. Remembering to not run off before buffs are put up on floor 1 is hard enough for some people...

and I disagree with you. Deal with it. I like DRGs, wyverns are cute. It depends on what DD you reference, its not a war or drk. Theres a few jobs out there classified as a DD that DRG would beat even with relic. I enjoy not having to throw WARs and DRKs at everything. Like I said, didn't notice any change in run speeds or win ratios bringing DRG to Nyzul. So whatever works.

You and I are saying the same thing.

But no, sure, let's ignore the math because Wyverns are cute.

Also I fail to see which DD jobs DRG is beating with a relic.

So which DDs is DRG beating with a relic? I'm sorry, I can't allow "cute" to be included in the final score.

Don't care about maths to find out. lol. I just enjoy the game, dont worry about math. Like I said, whatever works in the events that we do, and DRG seems to have no trouble.

That has nothing to do with whether or not DRG is competitive with other DDs.

I somehow doubt SAM, but can't say for sure, and grats on sometimes beating the only one-handed job that sometimes gets included in the "DD" listings.

I think you worry about being competitive too much, which is fine. Some are like that. Just not the way I play. Cuteness factor wins imo. :)

Idk about DRG relic but I don't recall a time I've lost to a relic/emp SAM using my OAT.
But hey, idc anyway. I know DRG Relic is ***, I have the mythic /shrug.

Yep, I know, I geared my DNC around your guide, (which is awesome btw). Melee WHMs are fun too.

My 96 RNG with an lolOctave club and Annihilator did pretty well.
I think without embrava, KC rangers are a good option..
A little squishy, but no real problem in 1 shotting the mobs with Last Stand..
Now if only I could find an actual group, and not a pickup group filled with DRGs and people wanting to go NIN! D;

Never gone with a pickup group so not sure how that would work out. :/

Shouldn't MNK be a lot more competitive on parses when the new embrava is applied outside Salvage? I'm just thinking that the loss of regain affects MNK the least.

Went with my usual group, SCH x2 DRK x4 and cleared it twice with no problems. We used the exact same tactics as before, and still kept using Embrava.
The lamp cooldown and floor jump changes have actually made it easier, averaging 17 floors instead of our usual 19-20.

Embrava wasn't nerfed in anything except Neo-Salvage in this last patch.

BST would probably do way better then anyone would be willing to test.
Now you have me wanting to make a BSTx6 NN win video......
A while back I saw a 6man bst party, they got to floor 93 apparently with 19 jumps, the 80 boss was rough apparently, they all had Relic axe's however >>

Yeah, relic DRG is worse than DNC and grats on sometimes beating the only one-handed job that sometimes gets included in the "DD" listings.
I'm sorry for bringing this up a day later but I just seen that top quote you made. I assume you mean to say DNC outdoes MNK? lol

Not sure if I just misunderstood that, which is possible but I find it hard to believe, that a DNC could beat a MNK unless its being played wrong lol
Curious of what peoples thoughts are to rebuild statics as i am thinking Brd Sch Blu Blu Sam Mnk. Since embrava will be refresh now could have sch embrava on say last 5min or just when prior to up up or landing on 100 if you have the time. that will benifet blu alot specialy with blu 2hr being able to self sc now on FL100, having blu with constant mp would take the place of a DD having constant tp since no regain from embrava there will be less running up and 1 shotting mobs on Floors such as all enemenys etc where as blu can spam spells n run of with less delay of there own refresh plus brd. Would like to hear others thoughts and plans of how to conquer this nerf w/o bein affected by the Tp loss from embrava
