    HNM/Event Strategy compilation

    I'm looking for an archive of strategies for HNMs and events (KS99/TP burn Kirin/etc.) that isn't lolffxiwiki. The Event Section isn't really specific enough and I think alot of the data I'm looking for was lost in the recent server mishap.

    So basically
    Does anyone know of a shell that has publicly viewable strategies for endgame? Or someone on BG that wouldn't mind me asking them a few things?

    Well, if you leave a list of NM's your looking for ideas on, I'm sure a few people can help you out with ideas. :)

    Re: HNM/Event Strategy compilation

    actually a pretty cool idea. Though strategies will always vary depending on tanks and mage/melee jobs available and whatnot.

    Re: HNM/Event Strategy compilation

    the wiki is decent - usually there's a strategy section for most battlefield fights either on the page itself or in the discussion section.

    *most* things in this game are pretty straightforward, or at least straightforward enough that about 10 minutes of thinking after reviewing special moves and behavior from a wiki or somepage entry should be sufficient to get a rough strategy from.

    From my experience strategies are going to vary depending on the LS, the people, the available jobs, all variables that make a difference. Your best bet for any fight is to learn everything you can about it, and devise your own strategy based on the aforementioned variables.

    Re: HNM/Event Strategy compilation

    I understand up to a certain point that you're going to have to tweak a setup based on availability, I'm looking for more overall strategy.

    As for a list:
    Khimara
    Cerberus
    Jailer of Love
    TP burn Kirin

    Cerb and Khim; read wiki to learn what their TP moves are, make sure your healers understand what statuses you may be inflicted with. Make sure you have a stun order to stop Gates/Fulmination from going off in latent.

    Jailer of Love strats are all over the place on this board if you look, but basically tank outside of melee range, have a group of whatever that can efficiently take down pets, and deal steady damage to JoL.

    TP burn Kirin isn't a very complicated strategy, just...TP burn it. Bards, MNKs, DRKs, WARs and a ton of healers.

    Re: HNM/Event Strategy compilation

    Personally, I'd like to see a database of collected various HNM strategies.
    Something you can reference without having to make a topic about and wait for someone to respond.

    And toss in a DRG and/or THF for Angon/Feint, both of which are awesome.

    Re: HNM/Event Strategy compilation

    This website already is a database of strategies, I highly recommend the search function.

    Now I know it looks like there's a lot going on, so I'm going to talk you guys through this with numbers I have labeled on the picture.

    1) Aspidurkajihadalone - He's a turtle. He does turtley things like spinning around in circles, eating things, skateboarding and doing breath attacks. Don't stand in front of him unless you like getting hit by mother fucking breath attacks.

    2) Ninjas - They tank the turtle. Laugh at them if they die.

    3) Black Mage Army - Casts Blizzard IV until they pull hate and get sucked into the turtle blender of doom. Then you get a raise 3! Hoorj!

    4) loldrk - Melee make SCs that BLMs can burst Blizzard on. Darkness, Distortion or Induration all work. If you go /thf, you can give hate to the ninjas. NEAT!

    5) Villian - Poor PLD doesn't tank turtle, so he's fighting adds. Unfortunately, Vil is fighting this manticore near the mages and they'll get hit by AoE dmg and MP down. DON'T FUCKING DO THIS YOU RETARD!

    6) Pin - Is being a good BST and charming crap and running it away.

    7) RDM, BRD, WHM etc - I don't know why you people leveled these boring ass jobs. These people do the same thing they do on every fight, buff people and cure. Fun.

    8) Map's dead - lol.
