Re: Up in Arms

I'm gonna be flat out honest here;

I highly doubt it can be done. That NM has quite a lot of HP and while a RDM probably could wear it down over time and possibly even win solo, there's no way you'll do it within the allotted time. I've heard of some RDM + RNG or RDM + BLM duos etc and even then it tends to be a very close call.

HOWEVER; maybe enthunder 2 + composure will change this?

Re: Up in Arms

Didn't do enough damage fast enough. I'm going to redo some macros, because I wasted a LOT of time fumbling around.

Good news is that Sleep and Bind and Gravity went off flawlessly.

I pulled out when he was at 40%, but I probably could have gotten him to 20% before I got kicked out.

I also have to see how my gear is affected, because my lvl 70 rings pretty much act like the +iNT rings at 56. So this will come into play. It's also likely that I don't need a Red Cape, because Rainbow Cape will adjust accordingly.

All stuff to take into account.

Also, I wasted a lot of Time doing Blizzard and running, when I should have done Blizzrd, Thunder, then run.

Vile Elixir was very nice to have, but expensive.

I'm also kind of hoping that this strategy doesn't hinge on my convenient usage of Chainspell.

Another thing that irks me is that I haven't used "non-windower macros" in so long. BLEH!

Re: Up in Arms

I remember a thread about this on another forum.'

A RDm doesn't have the endurance and power to do this inside the time limit alone. It can be Duoed though.

Re: Up in Arms

I wouldn't keep wasting seals trying to solo this. If you can devise a strategy to solo him to 40%, grab another RDM and work out a strategy to duo him. It's great and all to solo things, but pushing yourself to solo something that's unrealistic to solo is just going to burn you out. I'd recommend duo over solo any day.

But if you happen to want a 3-man strategy, grab a PLD and a DD (I usually bring a DRK).

Re: Up in Arms

Less ppl = more money.

But then again, the difference between 30 million and 15 million is negligable when you normally live within the means of a 200k budget.

LE SIGH~

And wasting 60 seals every attempt trying to perfect it is better?

I guess I kinda lucked out 'cause I have two friends who are willing to help me get a K Club out of this ^^ (though we haven't been going often since they're usually busy with various LS events)

Damn I'd love to have that club...

Re: Up in Arms

If its any help i has a vid on youtube of my failed soro attempt.

If only i didn't ran out of mp so fast =/

**ShepardG** · 04-06-2009, 02:09 AM

Re: Up in Arms

Do you run out of MP during Chainspell? Would "Vile Elixir" + "Vile Elixir +1" help? It's 76k for both on Phoenix right now, which is alot to spend on soloing a 60 seal BCNM, with less than a 1% chance of success(for the kclub atleast) and the sure drops only equal out to what, like, 40k?, but...>shrug<

Re: Up in Arms

I forget when I did. Haven't watched my vid since i posted it either :<

And solo = no money. So it's really the difference between 15 million and zero.

Re: Up in Arms

Oh hai guys! This is Wishmaster3k here thanking Malacite for taking one line from my post and picking it apart.

Newsflash from Obvious News Network: Malacite; You're a douchebag. I've only been back a week, and I don't know what has been crawling up your ass and giving you orgasm through prostate stimulation, but your comment about "Composure and Enspell II" or whatever the fuck you said was out of place. Thank you for implying that I'm dumb enough to try to melee this. You've generally been a complete asshat in every thread I've seen you in.

Fuck off and die in a fire.

We now go back to our regularly scheduled Post.
--------------------------------------
Elwynn: I'm very well aware that if I die solo, I get nothing. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out.Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I'm sure Grendal died many times attempting things we thought were impossible, so tyvm for your insight, but I'd prefer constructive criticism, not brazen words from someone whom I've never really seen on the RDM forum. People said that Hurricane Wyverns weren't soloable. Grendal posted a video on page 2 saying he killed 3.

Ameroth, I appreciate the suggestion. I've seen it easily done with two, so I'm not concerned about a 3 person rotation, but thank you. And besides, I'm not bringing a DD, because then I'd have to heal. If I duo, it's going to be with another mage, preferably Red Mage, so that I don't have to babysit.

ShepardG: I converted and did an Elemental Seal Drain and kept doing that till Chainspell wore (A minute is a LONG time to cast unrestrained). I used a Vile Elixir though, but that was once I got him past 50% and I didn't want to take a knee till I knocked off another arm.

Akashimo: I'll make sure to kill him extra hard JUST for you.

Re: Up in Arms

I don't know about solo strategies, but I duoed with me as rng and rdm. RDM gravities, then I kite and shoot arrows at it. Very simple and little to no mp loss.

Good luck if you decide to give it another go solo though.

**Hyrist** · 04-06-2009, 08:58 AM

Re: Up in Arms

Wait, that's something that hasn't been considered has it?

Failnaught (not kidding, that's the actual name) is a bow recently released that has a damage rating that trump all other bows for Red Mage. It's not as good as a Ranger bow but it doesn't cost MP to sling arrows at the mob.

So a way to possibly solo it, if you can take the hit in MP and defense uses, is to Sub RNG and pelt him with arrows, or add ranged attacks to your origonal strategy. It COULD possibly make for that 20% damage you were needing.

Just a crazy idea.

You just kicked that box and said "I AM NOT THINKING IN YOU!"

Good tip and that may work.
