If You Were an NM...

[KingOfZeal]

This conversation (edited) made me think... If you were an NM, what would you be? Job, abilities, drops, special circumstances, etc...

When would you spawn, under what circumstances, placeholder or regular spawn? How easy (or difficult) would you be to kill? Some would undoubtedly be an HNM-class moogle that requires a full alliance, but doesn't hit very hard, while others would be an innocent little mandragora that calls all sorts of wyverns and dragons to do their bidding and could consequently KILL an alliance easily.

So... what would you be?

Re: If You Were an NM...

I would be a lot like Stubborn Dredvodd. I only spawn randomly and stay on a hour or a few minutes. Plus my gear is crappy so I wouldn't drop shit. I would be the NM the people who don't have anything else to do would camp. I would be the kind of NM I would camp lol.

Re: If You Were an NM...

I'd be a level 1, 15 minute spawn NM dropping a staff that rivals the HQ Elemental Staves.. but the drop rate is only 0.5% on Watersday, 0% on all other days.

Oh, I'd spawn right in the middle of East Ronfaure aswell, same position every time.

Just so you die a little inside everytime you see "You obtained a fire crystal."

Re: If You Were an NM...

Two words I am pretty sure are sufficient to explain the general concept while striking fear into the hearts of all those present:


Mini-Febas.

Mini-Febas.

[Rothy]

Re: If You Were an NM...

Oh oh, I got another one.

Sheer genius.
Love you rothy, you retard.

Re: If You Were an NM...

I would be one of the UFO mobs that doesn't aggro alliances for the fun of it. The only way to claim would be being a single person (Read: Anyone not in a party)and I would aggro completely at random and I would de-aggro and attack someone else as soon as that guy joins a party/alliance just to screw with the minds of those HNM elitists.

Re: If You Were an NM...

Cheese Hoarder Gigiroon, because I never stay put while fighting something, much less stay in range long enough to get hit by TP moves.

[Evion]

Re: If You Were an NM...

I would be a level 21 force pop in Qufim. I would be popped by any R/Ex gear. I would have 100% drop rate of the last piece of R/Ex gear I was traded. My ??? respawn timer would be 5 minutes.

Re: If You Were an NM...

I'd be a NM named "Taru Devourer"

My Job would be Dark Knight and I would spawn only on a full moon on darksday

My main job ability would be devour tarutaru which would one shot any tarutaru in range and would leave them unable to be raised.

Consquently, I'd drop some really awesome tarutaru only item.

Re: If You Were an NM...

I'd be ix'drg because well, I'd like to never pop for adventurers and make them waste time camping me. :D

[Aksannyi]

Re: If You Were an NM...

I'd be Queen Aksannyi.

I would spawn in a new zone connected to Al'Taieu that's called Ama'thora.

Spawn time: 24-48 hours, with random intervals. (Might be 15 minutes, might be 45, might be 30!)

Element: Lightning, Darkness.
Weakness: Light.
Immunities: Sleep, Stun, Paralyze.
Resistances: Slow, Elegy.

TP moves:

• Villainous Aura: Instant. Terrorizes everyone in a 25' radius for 5 seconds.
• Inadequacy Strip: Instant. Removes all armor that is not Rare/Ex and not HQ. Equipment can not be re- equipped for another 30 seconds. Certain rare items that do not have an HQ are exempt.
• Terrifying Stare: Instant. Pummels a player, leaving them with 1 HP. Cannot be absorbed by shadows or Stoneskin. Phalanx does not reduce the damage. Used instantly after draw-in.*
• Queen's Curse: Instant. Reduces Store TP by 10 for everyone in a 20' radius. Duration: 1 minute.
• Pathetic Flail: Instant. Causes heavy spike flail damage to alliance members in a 35' radius when a DD in the main alliance (including BLMs) is performing lower than 5% on parse after 30 minutes of being engaged.**
• Patience Lost: Instant. Can only be used when raged. AoE damage that inflicts Bio III, Poison II, Plague, Curse, and Doom. That's right, DOOM. Don't piss me off, I will kill you. Once I rage, that's it, you're done. NEXT!!!!

Two hours used: Chainspell, Hundred Fists, Soul Voice. (I had to put one weaksauce 2hr)

Rage timer: Directly proportional to the damage over time. The longer you take to do 10% damage, the faster the rage is. For example:

10 minutes to 90% = 105 minute rage timer.
15 minutes to 90% = 90 minute rage timer.
20 minutes to 90% = 75 minute rage timer.
25 minutes to 90% = 60 minute rage timer.
30 minutes to 90% = 45 minute rage timer.
35 minutes to 90% = 30 minute rage timer.
40 minutes to 90% = 15 minute rage timer.
45 minutes to 90% = Instant rage upon reaching 90%, kill yourselves for being so horribly bad at damaging HNMs and don't try again.

The stronger you are, the longer you have. Don't be bringing that weak shit on me, I don't have all fucking day to kill you.

*MANAGE YOUR HATE PEOPLE.
**That's right, don't bring your gimp shit up in here.

Okay I spent way longer on this than I should have, but oh Lordy was it fun. An HNM with a challenge, that rewards people who can manage hate and do consistent damage over time, and absolutely rocks people who can't. Something that Tiamat and Khimmy should be able to do, but SE made it possible to be absolutely horrible at playing this game and yet still beat these NMs. NOT IN MY HOUSE.

I should add that I'd be really annoying sometimes but I'd be easily beaten by a group that isn't retarded. I take skill! Not luck, like some linkshells that get Nidhoggs that never wing once.

You pummel with your stare?

Also, no hate reset? Cruel.
