Killer Instinct: The Beastmaster Compendium

Thanks for the response! I've gotten the Charmer's Merlin, Anwig Salade, and Desultor Tassets will come soon. In your opinion what's the easiest i119 to go for so I can begin solo/duoing things more efficiently? I've been trying to work on a PDT set, it's slow going thus far, picking up which pieces I know I can solo (namely old content stuff lol) are there any gear sets that are relatively easy to come by? I've been a bit reluctant to try a lot of the newer content because I'm not entirely sure which is soloable and which is just simply a pipe dream as far as solo goes.

Does anyone here have a gearswap that is up to date with new pet macros aside from the one Falkirk uploaded on front page? Don't get me wrong I love all the work you do but that gearswap is kinda overboard for my needs.

Also can anyone give advice as to what Job Points should be gotten first if you want to solo harder NMs? Saw 2 BST downing Yakshi with a GEO and COR few days ago in about 1-2 mins but I guess thats not possible if you don't have certain gifts?

I made a quick list of what pet-only self-skill chains can be performed. This was everything I could find. For regular use, the lizard pet is the big winner as it can make an L2 chain and burst on itself with just three charges, multistep, and the lizard pet is Warrior class also - making use of Fencer traits. Other pets have situational uses, like Tulfaire under Unleash.

Rabbit
foot kick -> whirl claws = impaction

Lizard
brain crush -> tail blow = fusion (fireball will burst)
blockhead -> tail blow = impaction (fusion is L2 and therefore better unless this is part of a multistep)
tail blow -> brain crush = liquification (fusion is L2 and therefore better unless this is part of a multistep, fireball will burst)
multistep: blockhead -> tail blow -> brain crush -> tail blow (fireball will burst, if you can time it to have charges)

Grasshopper
sensilla blades -> tegmina buffet = detonation
tegmina buffet -> sensilla blades = scission
multistep: sensilla blades -> tegmina buffet -> sensilla blades

Sheep
sheep charge -> lamp chop = impaction

Tulfair (under the effects of Unleash only)
pentapeck -> pentapeck = light (molting plumage will burst)
pentapeck -> swooping frenzy = fusion (light is L3 and therefore better, molting plumage will burst)

Diremite
double claw -> spinning top = fusion
grapple -> spinning top = impaction (fusion is L2 and therefore better)
spinning top -> double claw = liquification (fusion is L2 and therefore better)
multistep: grapple -> spinning top -> double claw -> spinning top

Raptor (under the effects of Unleash only)
chomp rush -> chomp rush = darkness

Apkallu
beak lunge -> wing slap = liquification
wing slap -> beak lunge = scission
multistep: beak lunge -> wing slap -> beak lunge

Mandragora
head butt -> leaf dagger = scission
leaf dagger -> head butt = detonation
wild oats -> leaf dagger = distortion
multistep: alternate head butt and leaf dagger

Cannot self sc
crab, fish, fungar, eft, fly, snapweed, raaz, beetle, tiger, colibri, spider, antlion, ladybug, slug, frog, acuex, mosquito

Some options for magic bursting trusts include:
Shantotto (in all her forms, Shantotto 2 being the best)
Any BLM or SCH trusts. I'll be experimenting with this setup:
Tank - Healer - RDM - BLM or SCH - BLM or SCH

Edits:
thanks for finding more, Falkirk and Kingofbastok.
found more multisteps
trusts
improved readability

Yup. Pretty straight forward. Stay away from it unless doing pet abilities, avoid getting hit by Cackle, get MDD off if you do get hit. Just use Xerin/Bertha, pop Tegmina if adds pop - it should wipe them out. Ran up real quick after LS Reisen event today to do one. He didn't pop adds this time. With less gear/job points/vorseals Trusts may become necessary.

Looking for a fix as to why only Nukumi hands +1 equip for ready moves when i have high amounts of TP, using falkirk's latest lua. Had a friend fiddle with it some and he couldnt work it out any help would be appreciated.

Also how much of a difference do TP Bonus Axes make on WS? I am currently using 2 Skullrender for Physical and Deacon/Nibiru for Magical but the numbers are not awesome.

I am having a VERY hard time to find ANYONE to do Skirmish with me.

Any way to get these stones rather than relying on buying them from AH would be absolutely fantastic. Thank you. u.u

Gearswap won't equip both at once during the gearswap process....Any way around this?

=( Sorry to hear. You gotta start somewhere; we regularly help returning players in our LS with Skirmish[A]. (If you ever consider jumping~!)
I most likely would never consider jumping. While I am not happy with the server I am on too much, I do realize it wouldn't be uch different anywhere else. Not to mention I don't have the funds to jump to another server just at a possible chance to get help with things I need. :(


Unfortunately you either farm them or you buy them. Other ways include login points, or getting lucky from the daily gobbie box, etc. Some people in in the same boat as you like to do the more solo-friendly zones like Rala[A] or Cirdas[A], sort out what they do/don't need, and sell off the rest. You probably already do this though.

I actually do not do Cirdas etc seperately. Running into Behemoth makes me sad when it takes too long to kill him as he levels up so much...and the Bee Just murders me. I even did Cirdas with 3 people...and came out with less than I spent going into the run using a 5-5-5 pop. :/ ...Kinda deterred me from doing that.

I suggest getting a Kerehcatl or something so that you don't have to deal with trying to swap into/out of two identical weapons.

It sounds like there's an error somewhere in your gearswap scripts.
But there's a really simple way around (that is instead of finding and fixing the issue), just use the in-game equipsets for your double-skullrender idle.
(I think the issue is that your script is having a hard time differentiating between the two skullrenders, but the in-game equipsets don't have that issue, which would make them a very simple solution to your issue.)

Is it possible to get DEX+15 Acc+30 on Digirbalag? Highest I ever saw as Att+25 and Acc+20. It seems a lot harder to get max acc on Digirbalag than Valorous gear.

Also, why does the Magic Ready moves equipset on OP suggest using Kumbhakarna Axe with TP Bonus instead of Digirbalag with Pet MAB?

Does it matter if you use either Acro or Taeon for ready atk/acc sets? They seem to offer the same augments

If I have a Despair R15 Path C helm, should I still get the Moogle Kupo d'etat helm?

What exactly am I looking for in an idle set? Would a no-pet idle be just -dt% and regen/possible refresh --- while a pet idle would be regen and pet dt? By idle, I mean doing absolutely nothing.

If I am idle yet pet is engaged, that means pet pdt/mdt, right?

@Falkirk

Is there an accurate estimate for what Empy Reforged Head+1 does for pet? I was under the impression before reforged, it was 100 attack or something? You able to confirm its actual benefit upon pets vs the weaker counterpart?

How are people using their Digirbalags?

The masses of accuracy is nice and all, but I've struggled to find a situation where its actually that helpful.

The original Ferine Cabasset +1/+2 testing was done a few years ago, here. These estimates were all before /checkparam was a thing... but the Monster Correlation bonuses are hidden from /checkparam so it doesn't matter too much.

At first glance the Pet:Attack boost seemed like it was a static +100, until another parse was done here that insinuated a percent-based bonus.

So, when Monster Correlation is favorable:

ferine cabasset +1 - Pet:Accuracy +10, Pet: Attack +10%

ferine cabasset +2 - Pet:Accuracy +20, Pet: Attack +20%

nukumi cabasset - Pet:Accuracy +22, Pet:Attack +22%

nukumi cabasset +1 - Pet:Accuracy +24, Pet:Attack +24%



I agree that the uses for Digirbalag are few and far between. It probably depends on the content you're doing, and what kinds of buffs/debuffs you've got in your party setup.

With some Pet:Accuracy gear, food, Familiar/Accuracy+ job points, gifts (and the hidden Ready accuracy bonus) you're sitting at... 1350ish pet accuracy? That's pretty adequate for content level 130 (up to level 140 with Drachen + Torpor) without reliance on the Run Wild crutch.

Sometimes in random lowman groups it can be handy to have these axes if an NM levels up once or twice. And then there's Reisenjima T3+ where every ounce of accuracy is critical. But for everything else, it's more than adequate to stick with TP Bonus/Acc+ axes. :)

Yeah, Rengar. That most definitely sounds like your gearswap is having an issue with differentiating between the skullrenders.
So easy solution: use a vanilla equipset with the skullrenders in it for your idle. (Doesn't have to be the whole thing, can just be the axes.)

If you were to use two skirmish axes with EXACTLY the same augs, pretty sure you'd have the same issue.
So just use the vanilla equipset for them and you'll be golden.
