AQ5 thread

... what's Joan going to there? I was under the impression that you either go full retard with your damage output and expect heals from weaker Raid members, or you go full support and use Andromeda to heal the damage dealers.

I guess stacking Joans means that you can entirely ignore all damage taken, which would probably be more efficient than Andromeda healing.

Also, how did the Ragnarok Disasters get nerfed?

Indeed. I speak from a perspective where you do not have the himes/ grids to dish out retarded damage, and therefore you relegate your role to supporting those that actually have that damage output. A healthy raid should have a balance of dedicated dps, Andros and Joans after all, unless you have a spacewhale or 2 on hand.

Putting it into perspective, having Andros only wouldn't matter if you receive enough damage. Instead of taking 8k dmg and healing like 2k, you might as well mitigate 60% of it for better overall effect.

Before AQ5, SSR accessories for the teams I was running (water and thunder) were so hard to get that i kept all of them, and leveled them to a point. I got a few to lvl 50, but a bunch are sitting somewhere between lvls 30-45.

Now I've expanded a bit and have fire and wind teams, and will probably want to add dark and light at some point. The thing is, it's hard to max more than 1 accessory per week, so It's going to take forever to get my teams full sets of maxed accessories, especially with the slot expansion coming soon. I'm thinking I should keep some of those bad mod high level accessories, just for the stats, since I put so much into leveling them, and it's not too much further to max them.

What I want to do is set a line of demarcation, so that accessories over a certain level are keepers, and ons lower than that can be used as fodder. The question is, where to set the line? I'm thinking somewhere between 35-40. So maybe 38? Is that reasonable, or too high/low?

It sounds like you're leveling them bit by bit. Are you made out of Gems? I level SSRs in two parts, ~6600 exp each. That's about level 37-39 depending.

Anyway, the only thing that really matters is that you have 3x Tiaras on whatever character has all five slots open. Nothing else comes even close to being important. Personally I wouldn't level up Accessories that don't have at least two useful Enigmas though.
