Swift Belt - Elvaan

[_chuchu]

If its been nerfed, how bad? Has anyone tried?

[Weeks]

Hadn't heard anything about a nerf, but I did it several months back and with 2 NINs he's just as much a pushover as hume and mithra. His accuracy is very poor.

[Zilong]

Fucking ridiculously easy now.

The rate of double attack/triple attack is either reduced greatly or just eliminated altogether.

Also, for lulz we did taru too, that too was also a joke...god i remember when elvaan would murder you for even thinking for a split second to use berserk.

[_chuchu]

Didn't even wanna go near the taru, now I'm tempted to go pop it with some buddies. Thanks for the info :D

[Starr]

Elvaan is shit tons harder than taru, I mean at least 3x harder.

[Aurara]

elvaan is retarded easy. i co-tanked it with another nin and we raped it lol c.c

[Maksudyst]

I solo tanked it on my 50 pld that I stopped leveling. lol. It's extremely easy.

I wouldn't get carried away. Perfect Dodge is a joke compared to Astral Flow, which, while it generally won't kill anyone if everyone is capped off, still causes a fair amount of chaos. There's also the fact that it summons something that's not sleepable by Red Mages, which is quite annoying.

[Callisto]

EV is retardedly easy for us, we do it PLD SAM RDM WHM BLU BLU most times. Taru absolutely raped us with Grim Halo > Astral the one time we tried it, not messing with it again.

[Zilong]

Well...when I did taru, it didn't use -ga a single time, and astral flow only took like 400ish damage.

Grim Halo is pretty lulz with nin tank, and it's not like the damn thing attacks fast enough for it to cause any problem with shadow where a grim halo would cause much damage (hell it just use single target spells most of the time)

Elvaan's not too bad, but if your WHM didn't hit the erase on Aegis Schism or hits other status like drown or acc down, it'd get really ugly back before they nerfed its DA/TA rate, since that shit is notorious for wiping your shadows.

[Charismatic]

Yeah, Elvaan would DA/TA at an insane rate... I don't see how anyone could call it 'easy' when compared to most mobs.
It might not have been super difficult but there's definitely some middle ground between easy and hard.

[Tsuko_Asura]

Most people probably aren't distinguishing between how most people handle them these days, and the alliances people tended to bring back in the day. When I say the Taru poses relative difficulty, I mean for a party of ~4.

What Does this mean? Did you solo it or did you tank it?

[Binkie]

What Does this mean? Did you solo it or did you tank it?

Means he solo tanked it, without another tank.
