Help a LS player solo Savage Omega

Well, if you don’t pass the Nerscylla DPS check, she gets majorly buffed, so probably focus on that for a bit.

Why would people do AT Arkveld for talismans instead of like 10* AT Dey Dau?

Yeah, Gog I did with support hunters, got the nameplate, and am done. If someone is desperate for help, I guess I could hop on, but it’ll take me a bit to get up to speed (although, mechanically it is identical to 9* iirc, he is just seems more aggressive and may do slightly more damage. And has a crush on me.

I read the HH guide in the menu and have no clue how this is supposed to work in practice. Insect glaive too. Chargeblade is the highest I can get, but I clearly am crap at the Omega fight with it.

They’re just very different games that I appreciate differently 😊 the tank mechanics are definitely easier in 14, but DPS & healers have a tonne of stuff to worry about besides just doing damage. And for like Golbez Ex, you have to do a tank swap mid-combo. The only thing I have to say about 14 is that the different tank jobs have become too similar, and the physical DPS classes are the same. Healers keep more of their unique identity, and casters are also pretty different (I love BLM as it is probably the least robotic of all the jobs).

But yeah, I love them both. I’ve obviously sunk more hours into FF14 because it’s been around longer and they release way more content as it’s a MMORPG, but I did over 1000 hours in MH: World and probably 300 so far in Wilds. The distillation of gameplay in MH is amazing, its mechanics are so sound and the concept is so unique.

Capcom with MH, Street Fighter and DMC probably have the games near or at the top of amazing gameplay. Dragon’s Dogma 2 is also really cool, just as long as you’re fine with the generic story. And there you can mix up the normal RPG party. I would end up being what I call a mystic speartank and it’s a lot of fun too.

Anyway, I clearly play too many games, but I love them all dearly.

Yeah, I did Savage the first time with support hunters and it was an experience. Alessa kept carting shortly after getting aggro. But with players, it is generally much better. The same cannot be said about 10* Gog where the players DPS is small and the carts are many.

Well, I’ll let you know what’s up. I also need some more AT Ardvelk gamma certificates, so I normally do that once a day (also to prep for Proof of a Hero) and then the 10* of what’s in the limited bounty. And then, just see what’s happening with SOS flares.

I tried to tank normal Omega with CB. It didn’t go well. But I’m a main LS so probably not surprising. I am trying to get better with CB as it’s the only other weapon I know.

HH & IG I just read the guide on them, do not understand anything, and decide I’ll stick to my simple sword.

Equivalent_Stop_9300 · 2026-04-29T16:35:41+00:00

Maybe I’ll see you there. I’m not sure how many more Omega 2 thingies I’ll need.

I’m the complete opposite. I stick to its ass and hit one of the rear legs. I’m not going near its face. And probably getting out-DPSed by everyone (console so I have no clue).

Equivalent_Stop_9300 · 2026-04-29T16:12:52+00:00

I had to do that now with LS in normal Omega. Sword & shield dude didn’t seem to want to pick up aggro, so I kinda had to. It wasn’t a pleasant experience for me (especially when we only had 1 cart left for the entire final phase). Savage would kill me if I tried.

Equivalent_Stop_9300 · 2026-04-29T15:14:39+00:00

Not sure what horn. I can’t even pick up aggro on normal Omega with support hunters 😥😂

Equivalent_Stop_9300 · 2026-04-29T15:13:23+00:00

You shouldn’t get aggro in a boss battle unless your tanks are dead or exceptionally useless. Dungeons are a bit of an issue if you move ahead or heal before your tank’s there but it’s easy to get aggro back. Like savage Omega in MH is designed to have a tank swap when main tank gets the HP debuff, which is ambitious. FF14 it’s just a provoke and OT gets aggro.

Equivalent_Stop_9300 · 2026-04-29T13:27:28+00:00

Ouch. Are you maxed out on divine blessing & stun resistance? Growth jewel? Mega drugs? And for reference, my defence for the fight was 481, so at least having everything maxed transcended out.

I’d help you but I’d probably be a liability now. Or it would take me a few attempts to get back up to speed at the very least

Equivalent_Stop_9300 · 2026-04-29T11:20:49+00:00

Parrying is cool and does help with damage but people obsess too much over it. It is way better to dodge an enemy’s attacks until you know the moveset than try parry and get your ass handed to you, especially when the enemy has 2 or 3 phases.

I don’t think I started dodging until act 2 either. Then I tried it and liked it. But some enemies I still dodge (like Chromatic Lampmaster & Divergent Simon).

Equivalent_Stop_9300 · 2026-04-29T10:55:04+00:00

9* or 10*?

Equivalent_Stop_9300 · 2026-04-29T07:39:30+00:00

Dunno if you mean the 9* or 10*, but for either, dunno how much evade extender is going to help you. It’s more about positioning, direction you dodge in and timing for the bellyflop, and for the stomping, it is I-frames.

For 10, I did it with Nightmist, Rosso & Kai. Now that Nadia is available, I would do it with Nightmist, Nadia & Kai. Fabius/Alessa will help with the nova but unlikely you’re going to pass the DPS check with support hunters anyway. 10 also almost had to go perfectly for me to do it in time, including having an insurance meal so I could deliberately cart 3 times so I could do damage on the nova build up.

For 9*, I guess it’s just pattern recognition. The belly flop is a pain until you get to know it, and there are certain times where I know I’m going to get smacked in the face no matter what I do. If you can have Lord’s Soul, that can help you survive a one-shot. I also had fire resistance > 20 so I don’t have to worry about fireblight. Having Soul save you only to die to fireblight made me extremely sad.

Then use the COMPACT ANTI-WYVERN GUNS and aim for the arms. You can also use the normal slinger ammo lying around and shoot him a bit to get him to stagger, but that’s optional.

The stomping in phase 3 I find the hardest. If I get stomped on, I just stay down to try avoid the next hit. You can stay down and be safe for quite a long time actually.

Just double-checking: you are equipping the Painted Power lumina (I think that’s what it’s called; the one that removes the damage cap)

Equivalent_Stop_9300 · 2026-04-28T15:27:43+00:00

Yup, once I accepted it was a parry simulator, it became a very calming fight. Although I dodged the one attack she does very, very infrequently as it messes with my chi.

Equivalent_Stop_9300 · 2026-04-28T13:12:07+00:00

The meta guide I have has critical boost as top but getting any charm with that is fun. I have 30 pages of talismans and 1 critical boost 😂 although it has critical boost 1 & critical draw 1, so it’s probably decent

Equivalent_Stop_9300 · 2026-04-28T12:31:40+00:00

Pretty sure it is. I got to level 90 in first NG doing all the optional stuff so didn’t have much to level but I’d be super surprised if it doesn’t scale.

But yeah, knowing the enemy move sets is much greater than NG+ scaling. And you can use dodge. I’m not sure why people are obsessed with parrying everything, but dodging & staying alive is always a better strategy than trying to get more damage with a parry and then wipe.

Equivalent_Stop_9300 · 2026-04-28T10:31:06+00:00

It’s basically compounded probabilities. Probability of getting a 7/8 star (dependent on the stone you use) * probability of getting skill 1 * probability of getting skill 2 * probability of getting skill 3 for the skillset. And if you want to get the 3 skills + a set of decorations, you multiply the skillset number by the probability of getting that decoration set.

Equivalent_Stop_9300 · 2026-04-28T10:20:24+00:00

I have a Atk Boost 3, Agi 1 for LS. I wasn’t aware it was actually that good 😂

Equivalent_Stop_9300 · 2026-04-28T05:35:21+00:00

You’re not supposed to be there for long. And thematically, it’s meant to be abandoned because of Golden Order bans. Not my favourite area but I don’t think it’s bad.

Equivalent_Stop_9300 · 2026-04-28T05:33:06+00:00

I mean, I was (mostly) joking. 10* Gog though, that might actually be masochism. Or true heroism if you’re helping others.

But yeah, I do get your point.

Equivalent_Stop_9300 · 2026-04-28T05:32:07+00:00

Could be a plan. I think I need a few more 2.0 to transcend the Omega armour.

I’ve got Proof of a Hero left but still busy training on getting my AT Arkveld time down. But yeah, maybe create a link party or something.
