At a recent ballista I received a /tell from someone who reads the site interested in the idea i had brought up about making a ballista ls. Honestly I don't know how else to put this without it sounding really corny but the basics is that I started the ls (finally). Newcommers as well as veterans to ballista are welcome. Send a tell to Linkinlp for a pearl or Lonethief (myself) for details or a pearl.

O_o Training grounds for a possible Ballista server challenge again?

Well it'd be nice to see a Ballista LS, something new to do other than all this endgame stuff. On the plus side, its one thing the RMT can't ever ruin. =D

So does that mean you're interested? :D Oh and I wouldn't doubt if a new age RMT is designed that owns Diorama and will make us pay 20k to enter. =/

Maybe, doesn't seem like it'd be cost effective when its a lot easier to boycott Ballista/Diorama than an HNM or God pop etc.

As for interest, I wouldn't mind, sounds fun XD

Ok that's cool. I'll look you up in game and hopefully we get more then just 3 people interested... I seriously hope we can get more of the Shiva server into ballista.

Ok so i've given pearls to most of you that posted here (one actually...) as well as a few random people that read the post and sent me a tell in game. I still can't get in touch with Rev though...so tell me when is a good time to try and find you (est please) and the rest i have to start looking for as well. Or you could always come looking for me too! ^^

I'm usually on around 9 or 10pm est in case anyone comes looking for me. Drop a tell and i'll usually see it when i'm back since i turn most chat filters on when afk.

last night, FruitBubbleGum (i cant remember the name, but its something like that) kicked off its first match... with only 2 people, Lonethief and myself... it was an uncapped, 4 round match in which i got my *** handed to me 3-1, lol... Lonethief was 75thf/37nin (with good eva gear ><), against my 73bst/36whm ballista n00b (with standard bst melee gear (check my WS link))... i brought 3 different stacks of jug pets, just to see which ones worked the best, the bst poster jug CourierCarrie, SabreSiravarde, and PanzerGalahad...

the rounds went something like this:
round 1
* {Call Beast} CC
* /ja "Fight" <Lonethief>
* Lonethief sleep bolts CC
* CC is asleep
* Lonethief and Lucke hack and slash at each other
* Lonethief sleep bolts Lucke
* Lucke is asleep
* Lonethief uses SA
* Lonethief pwns Lucke

round 2
* {Call Beast} SS
* /ja "Fight" <Lonethief>
* Lonethief sleep bolts SS
* SS is asleep
* Lonethief and Lucke melee away on each other
* Lonethief sleep bolts Lucke
* Lucke is asleep
* Lonethief uses SA
* Lonethief pwns Lucke

round 3
* /item "Poison Potion" <Lucke>
* {Call Beast} PG
* /ja "Fight" <Lonethief>
* Lonethief sleep bolts PG
* PG is asleep
* Lucke's Poison Potion wears off
* Lonethief and Lucke go at it with axes and knives
* Lonethief sleep bolts Lucke
* Lucke is asleep
* Lonethief uses SA
* Lonethief pwns Lucke (starting to see a pattern here?)

round 4
* /equip head "Zoolater Hat"
* {Call Beast} PG
* Lucke uses Zoolater Hat
* pet TP 120%
* /ja "Fight" <Lonethief>
* (remembers i have Sic ><) /pet "Sic" <Lonethief>
* PG hits Lonethief with Rhino Attack
* Lonethief drops from 100%HP to 80%
* Lonethief casts Uts:Ni
* Lucke casts Diaga (after remembering that im /whm) and strips shadows
* Lonethief casts Uts:Ichi
* Lucke casts Diaga and strips shadows
* /item "Poison Potion" <Lucke>
* Lonethief sleep bolts PG
* PG is asleep
* Lucke uses Reward Lucke
* PG is no longer asleep
* Lonethief sleep bolts Lucke
* Lucke is asleep
* Lucke is no longer asleep
* Lucke casts various debuffs (Dia2 (i think), paralyze, slow)
* Lucke and PG beat on Lonethief
* Lucke kills Lonethief with around 80HP left

so all-in-all, being a complete Ballista n00b, and him being a thf 2 lvls higher then me as well as a ballista vet, i thought i did pretty good (youll have to ask him tho)... i had a blast doing it, and am definately now hooked... i cant wait till the next match, so if anyone wants to try taking on a lolbst, let me know >:D

(sorry for the wall o' txt)

Yep he did very good, especially since he was new to ballista ^.^

Later that night 2 FBG members (Agasomething and Miraitrunks) also attended an uncapped Diorama with strangers, how it went is beyond me since I had to sleep. Hopefully next Diorama we do as a ls is bigger.

Just a side note there are about 6 members in the ls there for Ballista, the rest are for the social aspect of FBG. (But we will force them to ballista...and they're going to like it! :p)

Also forgot to mention that the beetle pet was the best pet imo.

Last night FBG held another match capped at 60 featuring a one on one duel between myself, BLM60/NIN30, and Lonethief, RDM60/BLM(?)30. While I never successfully beat him, it was still a good match and I almost had him a few times. I definitely encourage anyone and everyone to join FBG, newbies and veterans alike, for ballista is a very fun part of FFXI and can serve as a good relief from boredom and/or endgame activities!

For a BST doing Ballista, you might want to try a Funguar pet. Since they're dark based they can resist sleep/bloody bolt a bit and really a pet is worthless in ballista since they can be slept so easily, avoid that with a funguar pet.

Sorry for not checking back here more often i've been a bit busy with school work...trying to hand in last minute projects before the holidays. Seems like we got someone else interested in joining the shell.

I've been thinking about something said on this thread about the ls possiblly being training grounds for the next ballista royale. Who all would be interested in starting teams and training together for the next royale?

To those of you I haven't contacted yet about the ls... please try to get in contact with me XD seems like whenever i'm on certain people aren't. (Revenant and Blayke :p)
