Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment

wow I didn't realize Holla was such a pain? I was lucky to catch an experienced LS shouting 5/6 trying to help out some newbies so I got lucky...we went in with:

2 x war/nin (i was one)
1 brd
1 whm
1 smn
1 rng

Rng actually finished the boss off, it was pretty funny actually since we started doing crappy dmg towards the end and even skillchains didn't seem to drop his HP lol RNG is a must I think for the previous parts where the little guys spawn

Wyrm Mail
Commodore Frac, Gants, and Coulottes
Alchemy from 28.something to 32.2

Yup, sounds about right.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment

How difficult was Alastor? My social was going to go after it today, but one of the members was super pissy, telling everyone you needed 3 PLDs and all this other kind of bullshit in order to have a chance.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment

You do need 3 plds for Alastor and its kind of hard when people don't listen.
Need 1 nin or thf on the first nm, then the three plds on the ones it spawns until alastor pops. Whm or dedicated healing sch a must ;x Other than that should be like any other pop nm, dds, blms, ect.

Haven't done this fight in ages, but in the old days, we would have 2 plds, 2 nins, 2 whm, 2 rdms, an assload of blms and some melee (preferably sam's and rng's). If you can afford to have a 3rd whm sit outside the ally that helps. Sometimes people can't help getting Breakga'd and an outside whm helps. You pop with the trap, a feeler comes up and spawns an executioner antlion OR Alastor. Have a nin tank the feeler with another nin or one of the plds for pops of executioners. When an executioner spawns have the nin turn his back and do not damage the feeler until the executioner is dead. Have melee make sure they have TP from killing mobs in area or have /sam sub. When executioner pops take it down fast. If you need to use a blm or two to help take it down thats fine but keep at least 1/2 of your blms full for when Alastor pops. When Alastor pops you need to kill that feeler ASAP. Thats why you save up tp or a couple blms. It can get really hairy if you have executioners up when Alastor pops. After he pops a pld should take over kiting him. He spawns in a hollow and your run him up top around some rocks and then down in the hollow and back out again. Keep one pld and whm out of the way in case the other dies. RR items are a must. One whm should follow the pld around when he kites but have them IN FRONT of the pld and not behind. It's easier to keep track and avoid breakga that way, imo.

Nowadays we straight tank him. Mages stay up on the ledge along the side, plds down in the bowl with the mob, and pray the blms don't get hate and Breakga us all. LOL We usually have blms run toward tanks if they get hate. Not like every one of them does it though...... lolololol But for the feeler and executioners we still do it the same way as before.

*disclaimer* It's been a while and thats what I remember to the best of my ability.....ya.....thats right.....

It's not too difficult, and my LS has it down to a rough process. We take 2 tanks, me on PLD/NIN and a NIN/WAR for the Executioners. We take a few BSTs for the ants that spawn in the area. I'll melee/hold the Feeler until Alastor pops, then we zerg down the Feeler while the NIN kites Alastor. After it's dead, I once again take over and straight tank Alastor. We have enough healing that I don't normally have to worry about looking for a Stona if I get petrified between Utsu casts (which doesn't happen often with Barstonra and Barpetra). Enough DD will take it down easy enough. Out of 10 Alastors, we've only lost one with that strategy due to an unlucky Breakga, but otherwise, it's solid.

Having 3 PLDs is a good safety measure if you can pull it off, but by no means is it nessesary.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment

Well I hit 20 on mnk so I am offically out of dunes until I hit drk. Last night did my first garrison a 20 cap in West Ron. We ran it twice and got to the third wave before a complete wipe of the npcs. come to find out we lost alot of the mages first. So we revamped the team, hunted temp items from caskets, and mowed down the next one no deaths. NM died so fast we thought it was a part of the 3 rd wave normals. Didn't get any garrison drops from the lot, but it was all fun and 1,500 gil and good times is nothing to scoff at. Thanks for the invite Chaotickitty.

Are you talking about the strays? SMNs can solo them on every level with no trouble so your SMN should really have been having Carby pull them aside as they pop. If you're talking about little guys popping during the fight then you were doing Dem

Actually you talking about Physical attacks not hurting him makes me think it's Dem and some idiot forgot thier anima. Dem has a defense buff that makes it practically immune to physical attacks at this level. If it ever uses that attack and you have no nukers, RNG, COR or SMN with an Astral Flow charge remaining (which is why you never see good SMNs opening up these fights with Astral Flow) you might as well just quit the BCNM.

To be honest you would probably have been better off switching the BRD for a COR (if you really wanted a buffer) for more ranged damage or another offensive mage BLM, SCH, RDM since that group lacked any real consistent magical damage outside of Astral Flow once a minute for 3 mins. Nothing wrong with BRD it's just they aren't reccomended for BCNM a lot of fights because they get severely hampred by the level cap due to thier buffs being skill based and they also bring no additional damage to the fight. That and you are having the squishiest job in the game repeatedly run into the AoE which is bad news when some moron inevitably forgets the anima.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment

Grats to all who got Holla done. That one is a beast. I've gotten pretty lucky with it at 2/3 wins. Funny but I had the biggest trouble on the one that makes babies.... Dem, I think...

Mammet fight was a <Bio>tch... 1st pt I was asked to be War/Nin and it wasn't as successful a set up as we'd all figured. My winning time, I went as Dnc/Nin and healing really brought some ease to the fight. Also Dnc can build TP while the mob is in Transmog cuz, you don't have to see a mob to use a "step", you're enfeebling the mob, "steps" don't do dmg so you are not healing it; and you can Ninjutsu between steps. I suggest doing some "dry" runs tho... since you don't lose xp in the fight. We ended up winning the fight on what was to be our last "dry" run.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment

I only have a few accomplishments.

I have 24 bonecrafting and now I can make Gelatin for my Crimson Jelly. I also got goldsmithing to 9 by mining and making my own Brass Ingots. (I made a huge profit off of my extra brass ingots. I didnt know they were worth 9k a stack until i was told by a LS member. I can get a stack and a half every hour).

I have found a new Dynamis LS and I have gotten my first piece of Relic armor (BLU boots).

NIN36 BLM36

I soloed NIN from 34 to 36 using FoV, my Empress Band, and logging out so I could do as many pages as possible with my ring on, but BLM was a surprise because I was just doing the usual "spam campaign ops and it'll level someday". Having re-capped the magic in Besieged the other day helped too, because I was only 16xp over level.
