Re: absolute virtue popped and...

yeah, reading the account now

Re: absolute virtue popped and...

That is just wild. Even after CFH, synching 2hours, and 70+ people (mostly blms) hitting it at the same time it didn't go below 98% before regening to 100%. Perhaps this is a precurser to them raising the lvl cap (wishful thinking I know). I just don't see how else SE's development team could claim to have beat every nm before adding it in this case.

Re: absolute virtue popped and...

i think this thing is impossible to defeat with the current level cap, equipment and spells...i dont know in what was thinking SE when they created this thing...
all jobs 2hrs , spells like tornado 2 , aeroga IV , aero V , instant casts meteor , cannot be stunned, etc etc etc...well, you saw it on the link...
i think that fighting this thing isnt funny...
i hope they ll nerf it

Re: absolute virtue popped and...

Yea I was reading that thread as it was goin on, it was pandemonium (bad pun :S). But seriously, I don't see how it can be beaten. I think they fought 6 total hours, that's including the JoL fight. But I really don't see it being beaten anytime soon, unless they raise the level cap. What do I know though, there could be some strategy to it, besides BLM nuking it to death...Nah...

Re: absolute virtue popped and...

Excuse my quick, ignorant comment, but I am only familiar with the name JoL from some past readings. How does this NM, as well as AV fit into the Vana'diel universe? (i.e. is it based from CoP mission sort of how Kirin is from RoZ?)

edits: mi grate speling!

Re: absolute virtue popped and...

Jailer of Love is one of the new NMs in CoP sea. Not sure if it has any bearing to the story of promathia though.

Absolute Virtue, well that was a bit of a surprise

This is the average FFXI players mentality. Have you guys ever realised that some encounters are not made to be defeated on a LS's first attempt?...

Jailer of Love / Absolute Virtue will die eventually. People will figure out a stratagy that worked and execute it properly. Not everything is to be given on a platter...... unlike Fafnir/Nidhogg, Apisch and KB... of whom are absolute jokes and serve to feed the average players mentality.

Besides, SE has stated that this encounter was beaten internally.

Re: absolute virtue popped and...

Hahaha, MERETOR!!!

Anyways, they're obviously some trick to beating them that doesn't require you to throw dozens of black mages at it. Sort of like animas and the Promyvion bosses, and Mistmelts with Ouryu.

Re: absolute virtue popped and...

Hmm, think the Blue Mages will get to use any of AVs special abilities?

[Kagerou]

Re: absolute virtue popped and...

U mean Medusa Javelin for 2k average dmg and a average 800dmg aoe Aureol wind?

I hope not.

Re: absolute virtue popped and...

First off, this is like any CoP NMs. I remember when CoP first came out, everyone ran off to find the Wyrms and then wiped a million times before coming up with a strat to defeat the Wyrms.

Here we are again. Anyone who went through many of the BC fights in CoP missions will know that there's certain items that can make encounters easier. Has anyone in that group fighting Absolute Virtue ever looked into items that might help them? Particular equipment setups? Those kind of things that can only be researched with time

I remember reading a portion of that Sage Sundi interview and how NA players were "whining" about how tough Jailor of Love was. Complaining about how the regen was too strong, etc.

In WOW, there's this NM named Onyxia. The way you fought her, was to do "something" before you actually fought her. I'm sure this is the same for Jailor of Love and probably for Absolute Virtue. Probably a fight of other NMs in the area or finding some very rare items that might either be used on the NM itself or used to unlock other items or ways to weaken the NM.

God, a lot of players lack effing imagination.

Well in quandry to this outburst, considering that the mobs name is Absolute Virtue has any one possibly tried fighting Absolute Virtue with the Virtue Weapons?

Ironicaly each of the weapons possessing 1 of the 7 virtues, Faith, Fortitude, Hope, Justice, Love, Prudence, and Temperance. All 7 used at once would essentialy be Absolute Virtue destroyer if they are trying to make the gamers think. Also as you notice the 7 weapons of virture never has a repeating job, means you need 7 jobs that will work with the 7 weapons.

Is it me or anyone else notice SEs fixation with 7 and godlness stature? I mean Ambrosia (Food of the Gods) all stats +7, 7 virtues weapons (All of which posses a stat and surprise +7 a stat). Just about anything related to Heaven or Hell in this game has the number 7 related to it.

Anubi's Knife (+7% Crit), Lust Dageer (+7 AGI), Sirocco Kukri (Wind controlled by God +7 Wind), Garuda's Dagger (+7 attack), Gluttony Sword (+7 VIT), Greed Scimitar (+7 DEX), Durandal (Sword blessed of 4 Saints, +7 VIT), Curtana (Sword believe to of been forged from the Lance of Longinus, the lance that pierced Christ +7 CHR), Wrath Tabar (+7 STR), etc...
