Ok i made up my mind with Wiz1>Pyro2>Link2>Thau1>FF2 should i go full int or full con? Or 100 con then all int? Any suggestion on items? Agny necklace or animus? What weapons and bracers? Costume stats?
Yeah it’s not that good in PvE at all, but the MF bug going away won’t change much.
With enough defenses you’ll just take 1 from everything, and the MF bug basically just saves you armor durability.
I solo farmed my Emengard Shield using nothing but Nga (fine, maybe BC when I was really bored), so it can farm (slower than other classes), just don’t expect anyone to bring an FF to ET or anything.
Full INT if you’re mainly doing PvE, get enough defenses and HP hats and you won’t miss that 100 CON at all.
Agny necklace is a no-brainer for Pyros (and even on DPS non-Pyros).
Gemmed 5hammer will be fine until you farm a purple/orange 315 weapon, Grynas is a (relatively) cheap armor set that does the job.
Again, enough gear defenses and HP and you can go full INT just fine (in PvE).
Ok, I’ve only just realised that both Kurdaitcha and Blood Sucking now has “innate” surecast?? I mean, I’ve read previous posts about Kurdaitcha being bugged with 0cd at the moment but the surecast ‘feature’ as well? 
Anyone knows if this surecast thing will be permanent? As in, another mess up by IMC patching the mechanic but forgotten about the skill’s tolltip. IMHO these changes really gives a huge QOL boost for FFs.
…On the downside, I don’t know what to feel right now, having suffered all the way through Wiz2 just for surecast 
Then again given the choice, it doesn’t seem like neither Pyro1 nor Cyro1 would’ve made a difference with endgame mobs. 
Pretty sure Blood Sucking can be interrupted, Kurdaitcha is just bugged right now.
It doesn’t matter if you’re interrupted, it has 0 cost and cd, just cast it again.
Wiz3 is still ok for FF2, but if you stopped at Wiz2 then you’re spending a whole circle just to aid Blood Sucking.
Cryo1 has a great shield mdef attribute, but I guess it doesnt matter much if you’re just doing PvE.
I’ve just tried it last night. Normal hits doesn’t interrupt Blood Sucking even without surecast. Unless the attack pushes or knocks you back. Which is the same for if you use surecast IIRC.
That’s exactly what I did… 
Subzero Shield is a C2 Skill 
Ok yeah I just went and tested, Blood Sucking is currently uninterruptible.
That’s definitely a new bug, it wasn’t there a few weeks ago.
Probably safe to say it’ll be patched out someday.
Nah I’m talking about the attribute that gives you bonus mdef (and ice res) equal to 125% of your shield’s pdef.
Very nice for PvP, but optional for PvE.
Ah! Ok, Found It. Seems like Cyro1 would be the better choice assuming this ‘bug’ is intended.
Guess gotta wait till R9, hopefully things would’ve firmed up by then. And hope they give another class reset 
This build can do ET? Or can you be useful or are you just deadweight?
No it can’t.
FF has a big problem with sustained damage, something ET needs.
It needs something like Pyro to help it be ‘ok’ in PvE.
FF doesn’t offer much for endgame PvE, you’d best go for other classes for that.
psychic pressure isn’t interrupted by damage either. it is by knockbacks, knockdowns, and status effects.
I’ve been killed by surespell meteor even after I froze the person midcast with ice bolt… so… surespell may yet be “useful” for blood sucking
You may be right. I was playing with my Bokor last night and realise my Bwa Kayiman zombie train channeling isn’t interrupted as well. EVEN with knockback attacks. Kindly like how Kurdaitcha is right now.
Seems this may be a system wide bug for all channeling skills.
So better play FF for pvp? So my build Pyro2Link2Thau1FF2 cannot help much or cannot join in ET?
Did ET5 with guild members using my FF and it was stressful for me, especially given that I have the same build as you do.
But I’d argue for general PVE it’s an ok class, but for ET is a BIG no no.
The only thing that will be contributing in your build in ET is the PyroLinker part.
You can still join ET (it’s R7 content after all), but don’t expect to be competitive with FF.
Yeah FF just doesn’t deal with waves of mobs well at all.
Is there any great way (skills/equipment) to get a larger pool or SP? Obviously aside from invensting in SPR… which I don’t want to do. Mostly curious due to blood sucking being a big drain on SP.
Not really aside from SP hats.
Just suck it up (heh) and use lv15 pots while channeling the skill.
Hey it was worth a shot…
cloth mastery helps I think.
End game weps give good amount of spr too

sorc1 cat and passive can help sp regen alot… but the summon doesn’t X_X
After the last patch, what do you guys recommend for a FF full PVP and Full PVE?
Thanks everyone:)
