    just stopping by to say that mastop is a douchecanoe



    5NM + Bee attempt on Bismarck, took bee to 38% in 4mins~ but Mastop is far and away the worst part of that stupid zone. Even spamming Nocturne/Dia/Helix/Requiem/Threnody/Addle/Gravity/Silence it was only taking low damage (280~ damage Nagan swings) and evasive as balls.

    Cause you dunno how to kill mastop if you only hitting for 280.

    What else is there to do, since the information that is readily available gives the strategy that he outlined?
    http://bg-wiki.com/bg/Mastop for reference.

    aside from evasion messages in fractures, mastop should still only take 5-7 mins tops....

    you should have 2 GEOs, and thats already -4 buffs on it. Adding dia/threnody/helix should make it 7 easy any moment he uses discharge

    also you mentioned senbaak...... is drk the only job u bring? lol do shed more light on setup

    drk mnk drg sam + 2 of any kind should work and even out damage types

    Second fight went by faster, about 6 minutes

    DRK SAM MNK COR BRD WHM
    DRG SAM MNK COR BRD WHM

    mages all spam as many non-problematic debuffs and when damage seems to spike, toss stuns to prolong the time between discharges

    MNKs tried formless and damage all seemed the same, there was no 800+ dmg melee hits as some have claimed. Seemed like a drawn out fight sort of like how Kurma is for morimar, with occasional brief periods of multiplied damage.


    Gnat seemed like the damage it took was directly affected by how many debuffs it transferred in its prior Emetic Discharge. Is this true? After 6+ debuffs would be swapped it would take close to normal damage, but it would occasionally follow up with another fast discharge that only had a threnody and dia on it, and damage goes to shit.

    Got Muyingwa to 11% this last run but I have work in the morning so I need to go to bed. That last 25% on the boss is fucking brutal

    Mastop only needs 2 debuffs. More than 2 doesn't do anything from what I've seen. We just use dia and helix usually. Burn works too.

    Wasn't Mastop the one where you had to balance magic, meele and ranged damage? 4 MNKs alternating Formless Strikes and random Mura SAM or Ranger for the lulz?

    I've noticed a few GEOs using Indi-Frailty on here and figured I'd post what we do on Cerberus instead. Since Indi-Spells can overwrite themselves, we actually use Indi-Languor to ensure that never falls and have that same GEO using Geo-Frailty, whereas the other Geo uses Indi-Focus and Geo-Torpor. So the only buffs you'll ever miss for a couple seconds are eva/def down during the Geo-Spell recast, but m.acc+ and m.eva- never drop.

    Any notes on strategy, especially regarding Bee, to bring on topic? Some of this stuff might belong in Media thread.

    Just going to second this if you're having issues with hitting the Stun wall for your first kill. We actually solved this through using a third GEO in the slot that doesn't appear to particularly matter, but keeping MACC+ and MEVA- down on at all times is pretty significant for a first win.

    Pretty sure Indi-spells don't refresh the duration if you cast the same one. You have to cast a different indi spell in over to get the full duration, otherwise you have to wait for it to actually fall in order to get the same indi-spell back up

    No, I explicitly remember having to recast an indi-spell once it wears off because the duration does not refresh itself when you cast it while it's still up. I remember it very well because it's annoying since indi-debuffs don't have an icon or tell you when it wears off and the swirly effect can be hard to see when there's so many other things going on onscreen. But I guess it's possible they fixed it or I'm just going crazy, either way it's easily testable

    After this update it seems Kurma is more resistant to dispel even with macc and meva down on it.

    How many times did you try? I'm betting this is a Ridill drop rate situation.

    Our dispellers also had issue, not just a few % different either, it was night and day with same buffs.

    Great... Did it prolong the fight significantly?


    Anyway; Tojil attempts again tomorrow. Few things.

    1) I might go for selective stunning if our damage is a little bit behind. What can go through? Assuming Surge, most spells, and what else?

    2) I'm doing DRG myself. What's the proper procedure for surge jump and angon? Angon first.. Surge after it wears.. Or?
