    That's all the others were pointing at it, that it wouldn't be too far fetch to expect it from SE, cause they have done it before that's all

    We don't wish for it, but we wouldn't be surprised based on SE's record.
    This.

    It's hard for me to think that AV will be zergable based on SE's track record with this mob. Maybe a few times, sure, but after that they'll fix it ... they always do.

    I don't think they'd really touch Souleater though. Or maybe they will! New, improved Souleater help message: Consumes your own HP to enhance attacks. Ineffective against Absolute Virtue.

    le sigh.

    It's probably a HP% thing. Like over 50% no braces, under braces.

    Aren't there Einherjar mobs with Souleater resistance?

    It would surprise me if they left in zerging in as a viable strat to AV. It's likely they just didn't test it before their new re-adjustment.
    They put this mob (and CoP) up on a big pedestal that we have to knock down the way they want...

    I'm not in the LS that attempted the last zerg, so I have no idea what it used specifically. However, as far as I know, once AV gets to 79%, he puts on his bracelets and proceeds to rape your face by spamming meteor and comet.

    Bracelet form is below 60%. At 79% it throws either a Comet or Meteor at you it seems.

    Well something was different at least... It's probably because of the speed of the fight , maybe it was engaged in another 2-hour which prevented it from Meteor/Cometing. I'd ask if it did any back-to-back 2-hours, but because it was over so fast, I'm guessing not :3

    Hm that's weird. Did you push it to 8% in split seconds maybe and it was maybe still the Meteor from reaching 79%? Was it maybe casting something before, so the Meteor got delayed?

    Or was it casting Comet at 79%? Would love to nail that fact down if possible.

    IDK, I'm on the fence. A part of me hoped that the new AV would be a crazy finesse battle (like I presume SE intended) that any VERY skilled group could hope to pull off. Zerg fights always seemed so anti-climactic to me... 30 mins of prep for a 30 second fight was never my thing. But at the same time, anything that makes AV "feasible" (I use this term very loosely as 6+ KCDRKs is far from feasible for 99% of groups) is a good thing right? I guess time will tell but until then LOAD UP THE DRK CANNON!!!

    PS: I love you Vey you LS hopping lootwhore! =)

    It was probably like:

    Hello, my names Absolute Virtue, I have come to rape you and your families, are you prepared? Oh fuck I'm at 8%, *meteors*. Fgts

    even if drk zerg works it seems you cant pull it off every time because of how AV works. does he put PD up? does he stun the group? stopping bout 12000 dmg? can it be done it seems very so but everyone doing this is going for that one in 100 kill. we still need to find the trick for the kill. tho the zergs do seem to be doing something. maybe if we slow it down(after the 1st kill) we will fine out.

    Well when AV pops he just kind of chills and talks for a few seconds, so if you beat on it right as it pops, it might not react right away, and when it does react, there is a small pause. This could all add up and he could be dead right as he starts fucking shit up or right after.

    They wouldn't nerf KC drks. They'd just give AV something to make that not work, DUH!

    i could see them leaving zerg as is purely because it's much higher risk, presumably, than the "right" way to fight it. AV was hardly fighting back in the video SE showed to us which indicates that in a controlled fight, a win is far more likely than a zerg attack. until we figure that "right" way out though (so i'll see you guys in 2014 when they give us an actual hint?) this at least serves as a high risk solution in the interim. once (if) it's solved, the "right" way will supplant the zerg method and thus kill it by obsolescence.
