Took all fucking night; literally, but finally got this!

Farming started at 10pm est and ended at 6am est. Everyone in my group got what they needed unless they left on their own, not because enough ppl weren't left over.

Gratz, it's a sexy piece.

I bothered to get it on Thf 6 months ago, had to go back again for a Rdm subligar, because I had that quest flagged. (Which killed me, to have thf subligar for like 3 months and not be able to turn it in.)

I knew from the start looking at all of DNC's gear that we'd get this added. And I couldn't be happier to own one.

Recent accomplishments? Nothing yet, 8k exp and I get Dancing Edge.
8/8 dagger fuck yea.

[Elexia]

I love that piece of gear too.

Beat DNC G5 1/1..was a pretty fun and hectic fight.

That's about all really.

[Sakka_Valefor]

Got DNC52, and full AF:)

DNC is quite a fun job, I've been main healing since level 15. Been doing a lot of 4-5 DD's + 2 dnc parties.

Next goal: lv60 by the end of the week!

[[Bariss]]

Got lv62 and Dancing Edge yesterday

Campaign just got a while lot more fun :yes:yes:yes

[Sakka_Valefor]

Got level 54! 6 levels until DE (5 dagger merits) - possibly 5 levels?

Dancer's Tiara is sexehhhh. My party got roughly 12-14k/hour, got 52-54 in one pt, in about an hour and a half.

60 by thursday, 75 by the 28th is my goal!

[Seppuku1]

Okay, one of the main reasons I leveled dancer was because I thought they had great potential to solo things (And I still think they do) But I haven't heard of any stores of dancers soloing. Granted, it's early days for full-time dancers but I thought people would have tried something big by now.

So a little story as to why I want to hear stories of soloing. I love to make ffxi videos so I thought I would go out and get my dnc testimony to record the G5 fight. I went to grauberg and soloed (I think) EP guadav's and they were easy but took an amazingly long time to kill! I'm not fluent in my macro pallet on dnc yet so I realised I was focusing on so much at one time that I kept forgetting things like shadows and things; it became an issue.

But if we look at DNC on paper it just screams soloer. Decent haste build possible (Turban, Dusk Gloves, Rapparee, B.Zereh's, Dusk Feet, Swift Belt) those add up to 21% i think. So our haste build is pretty nice. We can instant heal ourselves which is simply unbelievable, we can stun, gravity when in trouble; basically we can do a lot that seems great! but in reality, is it good?

Let's get our soloing boots on and give dancer a run for their money!

[shadowvincent]

Well, I solod the codex for my rapparee harness easily enough. Started fight right after zoning in, ended fight on 300%. DNC/THF in the sacrarium, full eva gear. Absolutely no problem at all, just takes a while to kill things.

[Seppuku1]

Codex? Don't you mean Gemini Subligar? (I think It's Gemini?). I went down and dualboxed nin/war and rdm/whm for my Subligar, It took about 6 hours ;_; Seen as how the only solo THF spawn is linked with a RNG spawn.

I was messing around in Gustav Tunnel with a friend for Ungur. We pulled it with NIN/WAR, DNC/NIN, BLM/WHM, WHM/RDM-(me dual-boxing it) and unfortunately at 80% the Ninja got one shotted and the Monk only had full DD setup, no tanking gear. So I decided to spam cures around and grabbed hate. I tanked Ungur without a great setup (and I'm still terrible with my macros) to around 30% then I got hit with a para and then Fang rushed ;_; (or whatever Ungurs WS is). Both Ninja and my death was from being unlucky.

I just find it quite awesome that I managed to tank it on Dancer. Without a great eva setup, Ungur was missing me quite often.

With a bit of preperation and lady luck being on your side, I think it might be possible for a well trained/geared Dancer to solo this. I could also land stun 3-4/5 and I hit a gravity 1/1 (Just used it to see if I could land it).

A possible tactic could be to clear a nice section around his pop spawn, pull him into the tunnel closest to him then try to successfully land Gravity. By clearing the area close by (the ramp leading to Taxim spawn) I think you could run away and throw up spectral jig then rush off to the 1st map where lizards and goblins roam - for free kiting/no aggro camp.

I do forsee the Paralyze to be a problem but If we do get in trouble and Gravity stays (I know from experience that once you land it, it stays on for a while - unless i'm just really lucky) and run whilst erasing yourself.

Anyway, I thought I would share that with you. I'm going to try and dual-box it over the weekend as dnc/nin and whm/rdm - just to see again if it really is as easy as it seemed when I did it with friends. Then possibly try solo.

Ding 70
To do list:
Farm for dusk hands/feet
Farm for Behemoth+1/jamby
Spam ahsu talif for star sapphire and zerephs
Camp KA for Vbelt
Go finish CS and get Suppa (I beat DM just never picked an earring)

Edit:
Went to give Chary a try and I walked in to an empty room (someone must have just killed PH's and warped). So I thought I was lagging and just didn't see the mobs so I walk into the center of the room and Chary pops on top of me. So then I call down some friends and bam

I don't have nin lv'd but since I was tank, I decided to wardrobe as a nin.

[Kaparu]

reppin dat c-walk son? :satisfied

[Cream Soda]

C-walkin on the mothafuckin concrete!

[Nilene]

congrats Vegetto!!! lol, you should tell me the tod for it now jk...or not, whatever lol

anyways, i finally got retribution done which cleared me up so i could get evisceration done, after reading how Mercy managed to do better on g5 with evisceration, hopefully this will help me since im 0/4 on that lol

[Cream Soda]

Did you do Evis yet? I'm 2/3 done with my trial dagger if you want to do that together.

Edit: Ding 72

Trying to see if anyone will sell a star sapphire while I still have the money for it before I go ahead and throw my gil into a behemoth+1 or jamby atm

Beating G-5 post 70..really doesn't...do anything you know? Every DNC past 70 did better in the G5 due to having better WS, gear and likely merits, which alone makes the battle easier than it is to a 66-70 DNC.

[Mooki]

Let's see .. the past few weeks have seen me get:

Denali Gamashes (a great piece for both my dnc and blu)
Raparree Harness (a great TP piece if you have good acc already)
Full dnc AF (this looks soooo good on mithra ^^)

and not really related to dnc, but I got it while farming the gemini subligar: the map for Phomiuna Aqueducts ^^


Too bad Veg on that Barbarossa Zerehs ><

I'd love to try working on those, but my nyzul isle group can't yet.

Need to try camping Ose for an Assault Jerkin.
Only 3k away from 8/8 dagger merits
I want to farm up a testimony, I like doing the G5 fight on all my jobs, and dnc sounds like a real challenge (yeah, it may not be as big of a challenge for a 75, but it should still be fun)

[Cream Soda]

Grats on the goodies.

I wasn't expecting to win lot anyway, I was up against 4 JPs (JP button -.-)

[Nilene]

Yay! I'm officially a "dazzling dance diva" lol

For me, beating G5 was all about the title, i think it so funny lol, definitely keep the title for a while, i usually have "Super Model" to pay homage to my LS, but "Dazzling Dance Diva" is a keeper, at least for a while lol

I thought I was first to beat it on my server since no one else had record and my time went in as record, but i was told it was reset every maintenance, so bleh...either way, happy i won and got title! thanks to mercy for her helpful tips and video!
