Red Mage Testimony

[hongman]

Ok, so im nearing that stage....hope to be there in 2 weeks.

Would like to know what the strategy is to solo Ruby? I want to get help if i can but, all else failing I heard that he can be soloed.

Any thoughts?

Re: Red Mage Testimony

i believe it is dot-> nuke-> zone repeat

Sleep -> Nuke.

Re: Red Mage Testimony

Does Sleep not get resisted the more you use it?

Re: Red Mage Testimony

yeah pull him, dont dot. sleep him, then zone. run in...dispel him till shell effect is gone, silence him and nuke-->sleep method. make sure to keep stoneskin and blink up at all times so u get used to doing that for maat as well.
with stoneskin and blink up u can get two of your most powerful spells on him before u sleep him and rest rebuff whatever. he is easy to solo once you get the steps down.
still gotta get my second testimony from him tonite. >.<

No, it rarely gets resisted as long as you have your dark staff equipped.

It's not gonna take 3 hours to solo it with nukes/sleep lol. DOTs are only for long fights. Sleep ftw.

ive never had any problems with resists at all when using sleep II on him every single time. (and ive fought him at least 12 times already)
every single sleep 2 landed on him.

Yes, but I never had a problem with Ruby.

Show up, claim Ruby with Silence and zone links if needed. Cast paralyze, slow, blind and what not, cast Aero III, Sleep. Then it's sleep -> nuke and reapply enfeebs, stoneskin, aquaveil and whatnot as needed.

Re: Red Mage Testimony

Way I did it was sleepga to wipe any potential blink shadows, then silence, then stone 1/something to wake him up, run to zone, sleep 2, zone, and come back. Usually it blew off any links while still keeping the main boss hog asleep and silenced near the zone.

Re: Red Mage Testimony

I haven't fought Ruby. I fought Maat, but I skipped out on Ruby. Maybe I'll just go kick her ass now that I know I can solo well.

I'd recommend doing Hover Tanks in the Temple of Uggalepih. It's much faster especially if you have a MNK or WHM friend.

So true. My husband and I duoed these for some decent xp over the few days I needed to keep re-farming testimonies. You will also get some drops from the Tonberries, since they are close and they are very easy to aggro.

Re: Red Mage Testimony

And now you can hunt Sozu Rogberry at the same time. It's Win win!
