Fenrir Minimum

[caelestis]

A talented PT of players can take Fenrir down.

My setup was 72BLM, 75NIN, 75PLD, 75BLM, 75RDM/WHM, and me at the time, 63WHM. Vermillion and all the +MP I could muster, I had ~800, and still used a Vile Elixer. We did dual tank, and suprisingly, it worked out. NIN's blink went down, PLD used cover, NIN reblinked and took hate back.

First Fenrir we lost to the BLMs not using Stoneskin and getting wasted by Howling Moon. Second fight we won fairly easily.

Eclipse bite rapes. Did ~1100 to my NIN in the fight. Lunar Cry was absolutely annoying because I was constantly erasing the NIN, and even then most of the time it would erase the ACC down before EVA down -_-a

The fight itself is really scary x_x I've been doing Kirin since my 60s (token lowbie of my LS, been in since the beginning so I've gone to just about everything) and nothing really could've prepared me for that fight. But as long as you keep on your toes and are alert the entire time, you should be successful. Cure V and a lot of luck is all that's needed x_x

5 people can bring down fenrir.

This is how it's done:

1: RDM/DRK (Basic role is to Chainspell~Stun from beginning to end of the fight)

4: BLM (Basically like a BLM PT, using biggest nukes to kill it within the time limit of Chainspell)

1: Leech (If you find yourself pretty much unable to make a difference in this fight, you can just sit back and watch it die

I've done this method quite a bit of times, never failed me.

4x ES thundga III?

[rpgcrazy]

yup, pretty much ^^

[Zempten]

Eh....4 ES + Thunderga 3 is going to completely wipe out Fenrir? I'm just asking ^^ Trying to devise a Fenrir PT ^^

I have an honest question.

What about BST's?? My LS has 2 74BST, and a 61 BST that have easily taken on all the other Avitars without a problem. Heck, the 2 BSTs (at 73) duo'd Ramuh. They also work well with my 74/5 RDM friend.

Would the BST's be able to take him on, without too much of a problem? Probably not as a Duo, but still. Is it plausable?

Fenrir is NOT like any other avatar. Do not assume you can even dent him if you have even the slightest trouble defeating the other prime avatars. He hits far harder, far faster, and has much more devastating attacks than the others, on top of being 10 levels higher than the others.

Unless you've got some sure-fire 5 person win combination (5xSMN70+, 4xBLM + RDM/DRK, etc.), there's really no practical way to win consistently without being a contributing factor in the fight.

Rough estimates on minimum levels:

DD Melee: 73+, the closer to 75 the better. Even then... hope the rest of the party can make up for your lack of effectiveness.

PLD: Don't even try unless you're 75. He will OWN you to the tune of 200-300 damage per hit, and he hits very very fast.

NIN: I've heard of ninjas beating this as low as 70, but it's risky. 72+ to be safe, and obviously the higher the better.

WHM: IF (big if) the rest of the party can handle things, you can skate by as healer as long as you can survive Howling Moon. Minimum level 61 for Cure V. Most pickup parties will NOT touch a WHM for this fight unless you are level 70+ with Raise III.

SMN: 70+ or you're going in as a backup healer or a spectator.

RDM: RDM below 70 won't even faze Fenrir with their debuffs, which means if you're below 70, you're a backup healer, and not much else. Don't make the mistake of thinking Refresh is going to be a big draw either - Lunar Roar wipes all buffs for all players in range; and if you can cast on him, you're in range for Lunar Roar.

BLM: 70+ or your nukes won't land very consistently (not to mention he likes to one-shot you if you pull hate). BLMs have a very short lifespan in this fight unless you're chainspell-stunning.

BRD: 70+ to land Elegy (huge help in this fight if you're not using the gimme tactics discussed above). Soul Voice can give you a much-needed edge in this fight, depending on your party configuration.

And howcome no one even mention DRK?
Fenrir weakness is light he is my whore i beated him manytimes everyone friend doin it ask me to help lol

Drk can take 40% of fenir hp from 1 ws



this bc anywell drk can outdamage best rng easy dunno why ppl only want rng for fenir slug shot averege 500 vs fenrir

6drk can beat fenrir maybe lol and [ with sleep potions and icras wing]
and fenir is stunable help nin tank ALOT to cast ichi and let utsu gain few seconds to recast time also those time when tank hp red and mage curing drk stun here help you if tank die = you get pwned same if hate lost

and afterall any tank cant keep hate from 2~3 blms but if you sata him that kind of damage blm will do damage of 3x blms cuz he will feel safe after this high sata damage

take notice there was no brd at pt or i could have did higher damage and food was sushi
and drk can get tp from sleep potions no need to hit him for tp

and btw i did that 1700+1700 2x time [first one was 1500+1500 no souleater saved for last at the fight i almost toke 75% of fenrir hp alone

you start skillchain at start then use wing and keep hittin till you finish him again =p

and if you have blm thundgaIII is nice and blm wont have to worry about hate at all

Minimum fame for all whispers is pretty hefty as is, and I'm reasonably sure you have to be rank 9 fame in Windurst for Fenrir.
