JoL

JoL question. Did they change the holding 2 Phaubo's thing? Because we just encountered a problem where with 2 alive it spawned sets of them 3 at a time. They people holding them died I believe before the next 3. This is the only thing I could think of that may have something to do with the enmity on the sharks. I am truly confused. Input please. :D

Hmm........
far as I know it still works as of like 2.5 weeks ago.
Never had anyone die while trying to hold.. NIN with evasion setup works pretty well..
It is quite possible SE may have fixed this in most recent patch, not sure if it spawns 1 or 3 if you have some sharks out that do not have enmity on them.

I think (and I could be wrong) that J'Lo will still spawn up to 9 total sharks at a time.

I honestly don't know where I got this idea from, but it was in my head so now it's on the page.

:3

Well I know 9 was the number, but he is supposed to spawn 1 only if you have two alive. Yeah, I did it not too long ago too, about 3 weeks and it worked fine. The reason the people died were cause of bad luck or something. I think one of them kept dcing and I was in no way ready to tank one on whm/blm lol. This is really annoying lol =/

Anyone else have any idea?

[Seditedi]

Actually... now that I think about it, we had one JoL, where some retarded RDM mistargeted an Aern... LOL...
Call For Helped and like 9 spawned during the time it took us to let it go unclaimed... you got spawns of 3 while attempting to hold them because your holding people died most likely.. when sharks are left without enmity it probably spawns like normal, but with enmity on them it spawns 1.

Are you sure that the one that you weren't holding died before the next set spawned? If it doesn't then you get another 3, and then you have to kill them all and start the process over again.

Don't Call For Help = Doesn't pop more

I'd assume from the OP that their tanks died for some reason then those 2 plus 3 more phuabo were alive at same time.. was it popping 1 until the tanks died or did they not live that long?

Anyone that has done this following update that could confirm it still works?

Also.. I honestly don't know how 2 NINs can die to those. Pretty simple to hold... I did see you saw one was lagging or w/e but still. Our holding pt is basically RDM NIN NIN. I did it last time as RDM, just Haste NIN, pop Slow II on the phaubo and they shouldn't take any damage except from TP move when JoL uses Astral Flow. Even if they do end up taking a hit that isn't blinked the summons don't hit very hard.. maybe 100-150 tops?

Did JoL yesterday, it still works.

Also, the 2 that were being held were CFH'ed (don't ask me why), made no difference at all. And we got aerns a couple of times too, also made no difference.

Looks to me like the only way this can go wrong is if you fail to kill the one that you're not holding before the next set spawns.

[Seditedi]

So to sum it up for Soul, it still works.. don't let your tanks die! lol.
Also, kill the single pop before the next summon round.
