    It seems to have half HP, the pets have half HP as well. It also seemed to resist nukes less, so it's more BLM friendly than before, although that might have been in part due to the accuracy bonus on skillchains.

    JOL was much easier. seemed to have significantly less hp than before. Still took about 10 summons to kill his regen, but much easier

    Somewhere, someone is trying to hate me to death for my crusade of trying to convince everyone that AV is defeatable.

    Seriously what is wrong with having a thread devoted to AV? It isn't like it will down the game. If you don't like to read about AV, there is a reason for the thread name. People need to grow the fuck up, and stop bitching, and post useful information, so I will start:

    Yes my theory is that 'Absolute Virtue readies Chainspell' > 'PC uses Chainspell' will lock that 2hr period. It has 100% not been tested because NO one knows how to make AV go to a 'readies' mode or ready any 2hrs, and it also matches perfectly with the SE video, they were showing it indirectly, but there was an instance of it in the NA video also.

    I have posted before that my ls: Apathy on remora attempted AV about a month ago, and we survived manafont meteors, and wiped on the second manafont due to lack of PLD with fealty up, however after we wiped and people left, I, along with a few others stayed, and began to just flee AV off to give it time to 2hr, and shortly after this 'Absolute Virtue readies Blood Weapon' the FIRST of the entier attempt, which before we wiped was about 30min or so. After that first readies it did about 10-15 2hr ALL 'readies' and finally exact chat log: 'Absolute Virtue readies Lateral Slash' > 'Absolute Virtue uses Hundred Fists' seconds later. I did call a SGM and reported this, and I have yet to get a response. When or if I do, I will post that info.

    Offensive strength remains the same for the pets and Jailer of Love. The same number of them is summoned before shark only mode begins. Regen also seemed to be the same as it was before, although it can seem like it's higher because it has less max HP.

    Note the 'could've said.'

    As for other posts, I consider it a generalization because its the way timers seem to work in FFXI based off an action that starts a battle or instance, if you will. If not, well then I'm sorry. ^^

    There have been like 5, none of them went anywhere because of random dumb drama. This thread has been up for less than a day and is already filled with random dumb drama. Why would it be harmful to keep "i'm better than you" crap out of the thread?

    Thanks Mojo, exactly what I was looking for. My shell just recently got into sea and this "2 hours to kill both" drama made the leader of our troupe a little worried.

    In response to the whole AV drama, you know, before we grab our torches and pitchforks, did anyone stop and think maybe its a bug that JOL and AV are on the same timer?

    I'd say wait until the round of emer maints are done. Then we can complain.

    By the way, in regards to the 'readies' theory. I honestly think it's a bug with the chat log. The only time I ever see "Absolute Virtue readies" is when someone outside of alliance has hate on it. If it does have anything to do with weakening AV, it's not nearly as simple as what people have presented thus far. The same could be said about the reactionary theories. People are looking way too hard into randomness in those regards. High damage can trigger weaponskills as well as job abilities. This behavior is very easy to observe on sky gods. You can trigger Seiryu/Suzaku 2 hour if you spam them right damage right when they pop, every single time without fail. These times where you see AV use a weaponskill after blizzard or whatever is most likely because the blizzard is unresisted, and AV has accumulated enough TP for the nuke to trigger it.

    Edit: Also, yes I would agree that it's probably a bug. JoL pets are tied to AV, you have to kill a certain number of them to fully break its regen. It would be pretty retarded to put a time limit on JoL + AV and then force you to take longer on JoL kills.

    Any evidence of AV using particular 2-hours multiple times at this point?
