my hubby will jump for joy if he sees this post as he is obsessed with these things (him: i hate these eggs *whines* i wanna kill big things like CGs. this is embarassing for a warrior to kill eggs...)
We'll go and test tonight or tomorrow night. when i went i petered out after about an hour as i had foolishly brought only all cures (now ill bring holy water) and i ran out so fast! plus i'll admit--my fingers became spoiled spamming an ultimate and being able to chat between spawns. CGs are VERY strenuous/fast compared to the chill speed of ulti-spamming. i'll try to get a guildee to record so i can post here.
overall for an hour I actually rec'd MORE exp 2%/hr on 2x which is roughly 32m. tho to be honest i'd have to say it was the lack of talking-the lack of running back n forth 4-5x an hr to do basil trades or FM crap-and the lack of overall distraction. i was focused solely on the monsters and killing fast as possible-kind of like early himes when they were "new".
oops--big ass duh to me on the freezing summons....i look at forums when im at work and i wasnt thinking. if they could freeze then of COURSE i'd be freezing F3.
as for 75k ifrit--that was the highest (dont we love to say our highest hit when we talk?) i avergage around 68-72k on ifrit. he does about 33-37k on neutral, mind u all my skills are maxed and my level puts me up there in terms of maxed out MA. (no where near the strongest when u consider ma/lvl but since im 19x by default it's high)
k i think thats it. depending on which night i can get someone to fraps for me i'll go. by all means im not a huge fan of these things. i go simply to please my partner since he basically carried my weak ass thru 3rd job and he absolutely detests newties. but i admit, it was a sit-back-n-be-proud mage moment for me since i realise we aren;t just ultimate-slaves and can be quite crafty with our 4th skills
*another note--i was asking the guild if any other mages want to join me to make a video and found that a mage couple have been hanging out there--LunarExE and RyuExE (they didnt mind posting their IGNs). they are an IL/FP duo and seem to be utilizing opposing demons to reverse the elemental strength. id love to see a video of 2 AMs at CGs as that seems the epitome of pro-mageness ^_^ i'll try to test an hour of the lower level FP casting seal and fire demon and i try to utilize blizzard. i haven't seen it myself yet, but if that gives full neutral strength it'd be interesting
(sorry to ramble-bored @ work on a friday!)
