    Ix'Aerns and enfeebling

    checked wiki, says "has resistance to all enfeeblign magic, immune to stun" for Ix'drk

    does that mean it's 100% resist? or will a fully merit RDM with af2 hat etc be able to land with any success rate. and a BRD with w/e massive amount of CHR be able to land elegy? and how about the other aerns?

    reason is because we intend to straight tank it with a thf, and whm(thfs alt), rdm, brd + blm(has blu rdm also), think it's acc be low enough for a thf who can solo charby fairly easily? and how about the other ix'aerns, obviously kiting during 100fists for MNK

    It's just plain immune, not resistant.

    I'd just kite it, would be way easier.

    Almost positive that DRG can be stunned, however. (I think most NMs in sea tend to be immune to all but one form of enfeeble, I used to have a list in my head but it's been so long since I cared.)

    mnk brd rdm can take a RR down in about 10 min with little difficulty, you won't have trouble but honestly RDM + BLM nuking and trading hate is probably a faster kill than THF DPS + the nukes you can get off with a THF tank :/

    Yes, kiting is better, Ix'drk likes to pause to cast spells, making it even easier to kite. I've co-blink tanked it once and it sucked. Mess up during its 2hr and you lose a lot of time.

    Also, ix'drg isn't immune to Stun, I think it's the only NM in sea that is this way?

    going to have to disagree, i could never stun it.. i'm positive all jailers are immune to stun and pretty sure all 3 ix's are too

    You can stun Ix'drg, I don't know if it builds resistance, but I often stun it (when using the nuke > zone strategy) if it gets too far from the "zone" and the spell lands for the 2-3 times I get/need to cast it.
