When Hell Freezes Over

Just wondering if anyone has any personal experience with this ENM, couldn't find anything on search other than random threads from general mixed in with old locked What's Better threads. Any testimonials would be great, thanks.

Used to 5man this with a RDM being 2boxed.

DRK BLU RDM WHM BLM was our setup and this ENM is pretty straightforward. You'll be hit with 4 waves of Snolls with 1-3 Snolls per wave that can cast Bliz IV, Blizzaga III along with singing Ice Threnody to make those spells hit harder.

Basically grav and/or bind the two you arent dealing with while the DD tear into the snolls. Occasionally you'll see one use Mighty Strikes but they dont really have much HP in them, BLU stuns helped to keep them under control.

The worst thing is getting 12 Snolls (3 in every wave) but if you need to buy some time just hold one Snoll until you are ready then the next wave will spawn.

Hmm, so it seems like it's not very duo-friendly unless you want to push your luck and hope for 1 mob waves? Was thinking of trying with BLU and RDM, how much HP would you say each bomb has?

ES sleepga -> Blizzaga III + Blizzaga II or I

A friend and I duo this weekly BLM/RDM+RDM/BLM(me). The first two waves of three (if we get them), we ES+sleepga. Otherwise, we just use standard grav/bind crowd control. One T4 from the BLM and 2x T3s from the BLM+RDM takes down a bomb, or the BLM can just solo with 2x T4s if MP allows.

There is a bit of luck involved -- I don't think we would be able to win if we got four waves of three; but that has yet to happen to us. A couple times, time/MP has become an issue, so the BLM manafonts a wave. More fun, easier to get to, better rewards than Brothers, so we like it.
