SMN Burn FTW?

Speaking of which, has anyone figured out just wtf an eternal nightmare is? Is it his super-sleep that he noramlly does in the fights againts him? (i.e. damage will not wake the target)

UPDATE

Rarab Tail: Not only does it make Tutori run around like a mad man. While under the effect of the tail he also takes much more damage. Reports of him taking 100-300 damage off a Tier4 Nuke from a BLM changed to 1100-1500 while he was stunned from the Tail.

Teams of x6 mage jobs seem to work well against him. Making use of 2 Tails you can keep him locked for a full minute while everyone nukes the crap out of him. Other combinations of jobs would also work I suppose, but it's useful information know anyway.

*Edit* This is also the case for his natural Physical Damage cap... although due to his constant running around, it's much harder to hit him without some form of stun.

Jobs that can utilize Nuking Spells or Ranged attacks are very useful in this fight. If you have access to SMN, BLM, SCH, RNG, COR, BST or PUP... you should prove to be effective in dealing damage while he is disabled.

Re: Beyond Infinity: Limit Break 99

If a Red Mage can't still solo the world, then we've got nothing left but the feather in our hat.

I've yet to see a RDM solo ANYTHING meaningful in under 10 minutes.

Is it possible? Maybe, just not before you time out of the fight.

Re: Beyond Infinity: Limit Break 99

Is there a 10 minute timer on that fight? I guess I could settle for timing out and count it as "not losing", claim a victory on principle.

Re: Beyond Infinity: Limit Break 99

According to BG having a SCH + items makes the fight a complete joke (Accesion Phalanx & Embrava).

SMN helps as well for Alexander.

Re: Beyond Infinity: Limit Break 99

Went in after work last night.

x4 MNK/SAM, x1 MNK/WAR & me on SMN/RDM.

Buffed with Protect 3 and Shell 2 on everyone. Used Earthen Ward (Titan - SS), Ecliptic Howl (Fenrir - All Stats +), Noctoshield (Diabolos - Phalanx) and finished with Hastega (Garuda - duh).

MNK/WAR buffed with Warcry, Aggressor, Boost and Berserk. The others only used Boost/meditate/dd food.

*all buffs were done before entering the fight*

Once buffed, we entered and all 5 MNKs engaged the Taru. I immediately popped Astral Flow and used Alexander's Perfect Defense.

All 5 MNKs popped Hundred fists and the fight was over in 45 seconds. Set the record for Valefor. No Tail used. Complete decimation... poor little guy didn't stand a chance.

I considered using Convert and resummoning Garuda to help out... but Tutori was already at 70% health by the time Alexander had vanished so I didn't think it was worth it. Had I know we would set the record, I might have done it just to edge in a few more seconds.

Re: Beyond Infinity: Limit Break 99

I just got my ass handed to me. I rolled in, applied some debuffs, renewed Utsusemi and then BAM! Asuran Fists. I went from full HP and a complete set of defensive buffs to face down in the dirt without even getting a chance to drop some damage on the little imp. I don't think I'm going to bother trying to solo him a second time.

Unless he's susceptible to Bind, Gravity or Break. But SE hasn't let anything but fodder mobs be susceptible to that in years.

I wish you had recorded it.

Re: Beyond Infinity: Limit Break 99

Nope. He's immune. So much for that plan.

Re: Beyond Infinity: Limit Break 99

My first time in he dropped an Aegis PLD almost as fast.

Immune to recording? :3

Re: Beyond Infinity: Limit Break 99

Hardy har har.

If I had the software and know-how required to record fights I'd probably make a habit of it.

Re: Beyond Infinity: Limit Break 99

Search for a free download of Fraps video capture software. Install... follow the VERY simple instructions in order to record gameplay videos of anything you play (assuming you play on PC). It seems confusing for only a second but it's actually very user friendly with a stupid-proof control panel.

If you plan to use it, PRO-TIP: Set it to record in Half-screen mode... not full screen. If you record FFXI video in full screen mode it comes out with normal speed sound and 1/3 speed video. So far I've found no fix for this aside from capturing in half-screen mode.

Re: Beyond Infinity: Limit Break 99

Even more important, configure FRAPS to save the movie to a different HDD (physical HDD, not just a different partition) than the one where you have your game and system files installed, if available.

That alone removes the lag and other annoying access related slowdowns many people FRAPSing things suffer from.




PS > Try saving the clip to a different disk first and check your performance. If you still have significant slowdowns then Yggy's suggestion should solve it.
