Thread: Has anyone killed AV since the update?    

In the same LS as ashira. This is an overview of our fight.

Brought AV to position J-11 to fight.

The first 10 wynav sets, we did not damage AV while killing except for dia2. After the 10th attempt, we ganked it down to 95% and regen was definately locked. Went back to the same idea for 11th and 12th attempts - hold AV with a party while killing wynavs, not damaging AV.

13th attempt - we attempted to damage AV while killing wynavs - we didn't have enough ppl to do this in 2 seperate alliances, so we made an alliance of our AV holding PT with 12 BLMs. We killed wynvas when AV was 96%. AV eventually got down to 94% when we wiped this attempt. Regen was locked already when we tried this from attempt 10.

14th - 16th attempt same as before, no damage on AV. 17th and final attempt, we let AV go back to its K-12 spawn before killing it spawned more pets and we killed them (in hopes that somehow going back to spawn would trigger something?). No luck, and we let it despawn.

Of the 17 wynav kills, 13 of them were killed on the same ga. Other 4 attempts, wynavs died from different ga3, but it would have been impossible to tell they had died at different times if it were not for the "XXX defeats Aern's Wynav" message.

Wynav kills not damaging AV with regen : 10
Wynav Kills not damaging AV without regen: 6
Wynav kills damaging AV - 1 (@AV96%)

I seriously hope nothing was changed in this patch... because my LS was supposed to go last week instead of this week... Thanks to Auronku from LB for feeding us info during the fight.

Edit:
We never used any Skillchains on AV ever, was just straight BLM zombie damage. It was surprisingly easy to get AV to 95% with just 12 BLMs and 0 coordination or any TP stored beforehand.

All wynavs were killed with an element other than the current day. We wanted to make sure all wynavs died at the same ga3 so we avoided say using thundaga3 on thundersday because the 10% bonus damage could randomly kick in and do different damages to each pet. From LB's fights, they never bothered with the whole kill with a nuke on the day thing (it would be a total pain on darks and lights day). However, if the patch really did change something, I guess anything is possible again.

Is there a way to tell if AV's data was messed with at all? Like checking file sizes or whatever?

If they changed it that is pure suck...

As Fara said, yeah... We've killed it twice in the past, but absolutely nothing worked last night.

And yes, we did try killing the Wynavs in sync, out of sync, with the elemental spells of the day, the opposite of the element of the day, random spells, etc. Nothing worked at all.

Tell your BLMs to learn to use elemental obis.

Or they could use this. >.>

we followed LimitBreak's strategy (since they're a) on our server, and b) have killed it four times now)

Really? What were all drops?

Sure, if they were mentally retarded.
