    Let's get it on!

    Also, apologies on not getting this started sooner. Now you can see how often I visit Media.

    An mdt/mdb set is one of the most useful sets you can have in abyssea seeing as every single mob loves to do high tier nukes, is it needed? No, but it's more useful than most of the other shit sets most monks carry around. That monks gimp and 5k hp is unneeded, I've tanked Rani several times as a taru mnk using DD atma and never came close to being one shotted.
    Most things also dont en-absorb buffs and being able to keep max-merited shell5 up is possible. Most mobs, while doing high tier nukes, are either stunnable, or dont deviate from certain elements, meaning you can throw on additional MDB from barspell. Even then, they should never put anyone in danger of being 1shot, even if you're caught without shell. Its just Rani's nukes seem to do double damage if they're on the same day of the week...atleast those are my observations. Our one attempt to do it without Brew, and we fought it for a good while before resorting to it, was 1shotting people with aga4's matching the day of the week, every other aga4 just dropped people to orange.

    Did any of those people at all have MDB/MDT sets? 'cos honestly, I've done a few non-brew Ranis, and even if people got caught without shell5, them having MDB gear meant that the risk of one-shot from a nuke just wasn't there. I'm slightly reluctant to say this, as it's perfectly possible - and likely - that other factors play a role in our experiences, but it sounds to me like you had to brew 'cos people were dying 'cos they didn't take proper precautions (muling away a few pieces and bringing along 5 or 6 pieces of MDT gear). But hell, it's 3am, and I'm not entirely sure what you're claiming... you started off trying to justify sub-par atma by saying MDB gear isn't needed, when the whole fact that the guy in question needed said atmas seems to stem from lacking MDB gear. So it seems to me that the solution is to carry around MDB gear and use proper atma. It may not be needed for most stuff in Abyssea, but in a fight as potentially rough as Rani, where you know you can't keep shell up 100% of the time... I'm sure you get my point by now. Though frankly, I'm perplexed as to what you're carrying around that means you have no room for MDB/MDT gear.

    Possibly also worth noting that the only mention on wiki of Rani's nukes doing 4k+ is after it rages.

    Rani doesnt have a rage timer? Wiki information should be taken with a grain of salt. I also stated the only spells that wound up breaking 4k were spells related to the same day of the week, the other spells were always manageable.

    I'm fairly certain rani DOES have a rage timer.

    Yeah, its kinda hard to notice but usually by that point its got the -90% DT so it might as well be raged at that point, but MDT sets are pwn! i have 90 fully geared jobs all with MDT set(thankfully they overlap so its not too brutal)
    Edit: i have not actually experienced a raged Rani, so i dont have a lot of ground to speak, only saying what i've heard.

    It doesn't "rage" it just builds DT

    Exactly...thats why people seem to THINK it rages. If it were rage, it would hit harder (which it doesnt), be more evasive (isnt), all magic would probably be stronger instead of a certain element (stretch because I dont believe rage affects MAB)

    Hmm, guess you're right, guess I(and others) thought that the -90% DT=raged Rani

    It might've been a fucktarded mayad poster who gave the thread title but I am totally taking credit for it.

    I've never seen such an acute case of Purple Mob Syndrome. Shit started with a purple Cep-Kamuy afterall.

    Your handling of the situation is appreciated, BG. Watch the fuck out, only two people died at AV.

    Fair enough, never actually had one get to the 90% DT stage when I've fought it.

    Why didn't you offer to give him correct gear choices?

    If it was me, i wouldn't have bothered, most people like that get ultra defensive and go "MY 12.95 ASSHOLE DUN TELL ME HOW TO PLAY"
