Besieged and Melee types

Re: Besieged and Melee types

As a 70 DRK using sushi and full Acc gear durring besieged, I find it very difficult to hit. I constantly have to move around cause no one is "Tanking" and often get "The Mob is out of range" or "Unable to see the Mob". It isn't uncommon for me to go 2-4 misses in a row, or 3 misses and a 0 damage due to the fact that the Troll used Diamond Hide.

I have finally started getting 700 EXP and IS each Besieged. I go /WHM and cure myself and others, Raise people I see dead, and throw a dia to raise Enfeebling skill. It is also helpful lagwise if you let the mobs filter back to you instead of running back to the gate.

Not dying seems to be the key to getting exp and IS.

I went afk overnight in Al Zahbi, came back to find myself in whitegate... looked in the chatlog,


I had taken two AoEs and died, had about 15 Raise spells cast on me, and somehow still got the "Imperial Standing Has Increased!" message. Didn't look like much, but estimating from where my EXP/IS last was, I earned about 200. Not bad for going AFK and dying.

It has been a royal pain trying to hit mobs in Besieged, and I had 71 last time I did it, with around +50~55 accuracy gear. Usually when my hits landed, they were quite solid, though, so I'm not sure what to make of it.

I did 12 damage with an MB'd Firaga II, as a naked 60 BLM.



yes, mages, for the love of god, stick to buffs/stun/cure

Oh yeah, you get XP/IS for taking damage too, and as a whm, you generally should be able to get 700 if you find "safe" corners where people are resting and just cure them up. That's what I do. Or cure NPCs (they do decent damage, so you're kinda helping to kill stuff by keeping NPCs alive)
