Soloing/Duoing Verdelet ZNM

[Ratatapa]

OK i've got this pop item for a while and i can't find help at all, so i was planning to go solo it on RDM/NIN or duo with another friend

I know that to pull need to make sure that there is no imp in the way, to pull it to nashmau pool.

My RDM, no refresh equip (aka duelist hat dalmatica) but i got wlegs. about 10-12% haste in gear for utsu recast.

My Friend, about same thing as me, but he got duelist hat and no Wlegs.

MY friend has alot of solo experience on RDM while i have not.

So for all of you RDM soloer, think my RDM would be good to solo or should i ask my friend for help.

Also can i have any tips on fight ex difficulty/lenght for solo or duo? ^^

Thx

I "duo'd" it with a certain SMN who posts on these forums, but I'll leave that name out of it because I ended up soloing most of it heh. It's pretty easy to kite, I went in as RDM/NIN without wlegs and they weren't even needed since he stops and casts so much. The only thing that might kill you is frenetic rip, but as long as you pay attention, you'll do fine. Easy solo, even if you've never solo'd much of anything before.

My summoner nooo Q_Q My advice: Dont get in range of frenetic rip!

On a more serious note, you really don't need movement speed for this fight as Sai said. He casts magic so much that you can get far away from him. The only problem is that if he does get in range of you, his frenetic rips do hurt very bad. On my smn, it would 1 shot me I believe, even with a full stoneskin. Died about 5 times that night so I wasn't much help. <_<

As long as you keep running, even if you start on top of it practically, Frenetic Rip won't touch you.

As noted, it stops to cast a lot making it a bit of a joke. It will randomly use crappy stuff like aeroga 1 as well; it doesn't only stick to high-tier spells.

My one recommendation would be not to cross paths because of sleepga; that's about the only thing that can go wrong with him. Very easy.

Oh, also hug the pond due to chigoes though they shouldn't hurt you through SS/Phalanx etc. More of a nuisance.

i soloed it at 72rdm/36nin with no enfeebling skill on my new char, it just took forever, i doubt anyone who isn't retarded would have any problems with it

I was under the impression that it does have rage mode where doesnt take magic damage. I havent gotten to that point but I've done only as duo, not solo. You'll even be okay with frenetic rip as long as you have all of your shadows. Whatever magic reduction/MDB you can scape together makes it a little nicer as well.

It full resists any non-ele sealed nukes at that point, but bio still works.

Find a couple BSTs and let them have at him.

[Xera]

In reguards to the rage issue, if it happens and you're feeling safe doing it just put a fresh bioIII on it and zone in and out of Nashmau it should be removed.

Can even add some SMN in there too.

Could RDM/NIN and a BST duo him? I also have the pop item and haven't bothered to use it up to now. My RDM friend has AF2 hat and some decent haste gear, and I have decent gear for my BST and a couple Beast Affinity merits.

Would hate bounce all over the place and mess things up, or would it be ok? Sheep as pets or just CC?

Well the way my group does ZNM, for most of it is what ZNM is abbreviated for us: Zoning Nuking Monsters. We just bring them to a zone and zone/nuke/dot them. We did this for almost every ZNM from teir 1 to 3 except few that can't be zoned. Works good and usually kills in 10-15mins. Only issue is steal really but who steals ZNM? Just bring rdm blm sch w/e and do that and win easily. Remember team up at the last 5% then just nuke it normally.

[Yugl]

Does he run back to the ??? at Imp speed or "walk" back normally? If it's just the usual walk back then I could see a SCH Helix/Bio soloing him.

[Questionable]

He walks back normal speed, well a bit faster because it's an IMP so have to catch it fast. When I did it with my group, a couple of my members got pussy and didn't claim when they zoned back out so it went too far and we had to grab it back to zone from always half way to spawn point.

If you're going to do this, do it right by subbing NIN, I don't care if you love stupid spells other subs give you but sub NIN so you don't die instantly from it's spells when you cast your dot/spell on it.

Plus anything other than NIN sub for doing zoning nuking is worthless, seriously wtf are you going to do with no shadows.

On the topic of ZNMs, semi off-topic, but which ZNMs can't you solo anymore post-update?

Don't think it would have any effect since ZNM solo's don't utilize bind/gravity as the main source of survival.
