Jesus, really sorry to hear that Corrik.

I know you probably know this on a logical level even if you don't feel it, but it's not your fault that you couldn't convince him. You did what you could but at the end of the day there's only so much you can do with so much misinformation out there.

Oh ugh whoops accidentally said "first dose" instead of "second dose" there

Boosters are now approved for all adults! (6+ months out from the first dose of Pfizer/Moderna or 2+ months out from J&J)

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Welp looks like they might be moving on it after all!

Yeah, I've thought about just getting it after Thanksgiving since it'll have been 6 months since full vaccination status.

Yep I was gonna wait and see if they'd approve it but definitely wanted to be boosted before visiting my parents for the holidays. I eventually got impatient because I didn't see any movement from the FDA/CDC and then my state expanded eligibility a few days later anyways...!

My opinion is basically that it clearly should be approved for all adults and there's no supply constraint in the US so...

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Anecdotally and totally not from personal experience you can probably just go and get one without anyone stopping you

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Some states such as CA, CO, NM (also NYC) are now allowing boosters for any adult 6+ months out from their second dose (2+ months for J&J). With cases starting to climb again and more data coming out showing substantial increases in vaccine effectiveness after a booster Id highly recommend that everyone get one.

My dad still hasn't gotten the vaccine yet. How likely is he to be okay?

Without any level of immunity (and with treatment if necessary) I believe the average fatality rate is somewhere around half a percent. It also depends heavily on age and preexisting conditions though.

I'd imagine the mRNA boosters for gen pop would start in a few weeks, which would be 6 months from when they were initially opened up to everyone (at least where I am).

I'm not quite so optimistic; my impression is that some of the people making these decisions think that boosters for people at (relatively) low risk are a bad use of resources compared to getting more people newly vaccinated (either in the US or abroad) and are letting that affect their decisionmaking, even though those considerations should be outside of their purview (whether the boosters are safe+beneficial to the individual patient).

(Also if those doses aren't used for boosters they're probably not actually going to be sent abroad anyway and supply is not at all the constraint on getting more Americans their first doses).

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Boosters are now approved for all vaccines (with mix and match also allowed)

Anyone 18+ who got J&J first can now get any booster. Boosters for people who got Pfizer or Moderna first are still restricted to those 65+ or whom are at high risk (really hope they expand this to all adults soon...)

FFT: 1/3, Alma AASB

Pretty good luck so far!

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

On the plus side I do have an almost complete Galuf (S1/AA1+2, chain) though as a chain holder I cant really use all of that stuff in one fight! But yeah given how many elements Bartz covers missing his stuff is unfortunate.

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Nicely done

FF5 is my favorite FF! This game absolutely refuses to give me any of Bartzs SBs, though

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

III torment down

Arcs damage seems a lot lower than it should be to me, though; even with Mogs USB1 up he wasnt capping with holyja under his AASB2 until like 200 chain. I only have like half of his RB unlocked so I guess thats some of it, but still

Core LotR: 1/3, Elarra G+!

I had been putting off buying this because the proshellgas cost 2k lenses and I usually use Tyro with Elarra, but I probably would have sooner or later if I hadn't pulled it here

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Yeah, I can sympathize with that; its definitely nice to make progress without having to bash your head against the wall trying to figure out more current content

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Do we stop getting extra rat tail missions (beyond the weekly one) after this?

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Ah yeah I still have five of those to go myself (and one dream). I just did XIIs with Mog solo healing last night to clear my weekly missions!

XIV is actually the one I typically use for farming; my fastest time on that is just over 11 seconds

And yeah two cap breaks should be enough for an effortless sub-30 on any of them as far as I can tell; I believe they came out when USBs were top-end tech? I mostly put them off just because I dont want to spend resources leveling/moting characters for whom I dont have any decent SBs.

I meant moreso do I have to beat all 16 6* magicite to unlock WOdin? Thats definitely good to know though!

No, just one 6* and one Dark Odin

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

How feasible is doing the WOdins with RW chain? The kill times I see are usually pretty long and I dont have very many teams with native chains...

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Decided to try Kalavinka Striker for the hell of it (with overdrive). Got him slightly into P2 and then had no idea what was going on with the painting mechanic.

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Got em



Definitely feels like it could have been faster (and there were several times where I thought I would wipe), but the old man is down

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Yeah I was considering lensing Tyro's glint for it, though since I'm using a magic team Mog is definitely preferable if I can make sure the esuna chase goes off at the right time. Petrify was indeed lightning-weak (and was the Odin that gave me the most trouble). I lensed Tyro's USB1 for that, found out I really needed a last stand too, and then had to lens Edge's SSB and bring him along as otherwise dead weight... not fun!

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Got it, guess I'll pick that up then!

I also have his AOSB1... that's completely useless, right?

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Yeah he sleeps 4 people at some point which was ultra-obnoxious (on my 20% run I got lucky and was able to clear with Mog's AASB2 chase on his next move). I think the main issues for me were that I was using pretty low hit count abilities (Anima with Seymour, whatever the imperil ability's called with Vayne) and I couldn't get enough meter to use Golbez's sync after chaining with him... I guess I probably should have used a meter RM on him. I was basically constantly capping on everyone while the chain was up, so presumably fixing those issues could get me a win but it's just so annoying.

Actually it might be easier for me to ignore Golbez's chain and use the RW one so he can use his sync right away? Not sure how much I need his chain's buffs here, but probably worth a shot.

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Grats on Alex! I tried dark-weak Dark Odin yesterday (my last one) a few times and wiped around 20% despite having what on paper seems like a pretty good team...

So looking at Noctis's earth ability access, I guess he really wants his HA2 to use with his earth sync, huh?

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Mog ball on the daily draw... dupe Agrias AOSB

Used my 15 day ticket on earth: 1/11, Noctis earth sync!

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Oh right; I actually have that dyad but it didnt occur to me that it was newer than his healing stuff!

(Also whoops yeah Ysh is not the only XIV healer, but Alph is great dps so itd suck to have to heal with him instead)

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Are they moving Alphinaud back to dps too?

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Ive only cleared mag weak Titan, phys weak Leviathan, and now both Shivas. I think I possibly have the tech to kill Ramuh (Ive gotten him to P3) but Im not great at the game and dont have the patience to spend hours working out non-power creep clears.

I think the main issue with using Ysh as dps is that shes the realms only healer (unless youre gonna take an out of realm healer instead of support).

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Phys-weak Shiva down!



Using Ydas sync correctly without the Papa combo is so annoying. Got a ticket from it which I used on earth...

1/11: Josef AASB! This is only my second cap break for II and it looks like its a full break counter, so Ill gladly take it even though Im not sure hed make my earth team (and definitely not ice).

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Congrats!

Tried physical Shiva for the event mission once; completely lost steam in P3 and wiped at 12%.

I think my mistake was using Caters AASB2 first instead of her AASB1 (only her first infuses so I wanted to save that for P3, but 2 ran out before I could get off another anti-aegis debuff which would have really helped). It was also annoying to have to use Treys glint to reinfuse; the switch-draw mechanic is really awkward and essentially wastes two turns of his AASB (to use the glint, and then to use a non-infused attack).

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Finally got around to killing water-weak Dark Odin

Just dark-weak left, though my dark teams are kind of a mess... never figured out which 6* abilities were worth using because of the dumb drawbacks they all seem to have

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Man, my earth mag team could definitely use that Rydia sync!

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Anyway, I got my third 500 Gilgamesh down (XIII; I was a bit worried about healing since I only have Vanille's BSB, but it was fine even after Mog was killed). Not sure if I can do the XIII 550 or two other 500s; I would have thought I had enough for VI, but I could only get the 500 down to 10% earlier.
