TeamTT 2nd attempt against PW, full video

hi, i hope this is the correct forum

TeleTubbies • View topic - tt and friends 2nd pandemonium warden attempt

yesterday, TT and friends from all across cerberus server joined up for our 2nd battle against PW. we got it down to the point of getting pw below 75%, which means surviving and killing the respawned lamps and the mass AF. while we succeeded in doing that at the 75% mark, it wasn't in any efficient way. this is THE point to have a close look at before we give it another try.

of course there is still improvement left regarding all the forms before pw itself. however, our strategy doesn't need any major change going by the fact of how fast we progressed. sorting out the minor faults and as simple as it sounds, have more experience will make that part even smoother. given how complex the battle is, experience has a much deeper impact than in any other. our strategy was heavily based on what the ffxi endgame community was willing to share (mostly on bg) and what we personally learned from our first run. thus there is no point in hiding how we did it and i personally strongly believe in sharing our knowledge.

this fight is by far the most complex and entertaining i've ever witnessed, while it still feels doable. i'm sure if you can perfect a strategy fitted to your own ls, pw becomes a very fun and rewarding fight. our basic strategy was:

- have a blm ally with 2 pld/drk and 2 sch/drk. pld pull lamps, sch stuns them
- dd on pw itself only coming from rngs + 2-3 sam/thf to pin hate on the plds
- have a party for adds (molds) + a couple of strong melee dds
- have 1-2 rdm/drk for stuns @ khim and cerberus forms
- on hydra, exchange all rngs with the strong melees, because rng dmg is nerfed (about half)
- once lamps from cerb are down, whole blm ally immediately warped and job changed to melee dds. meanwhile cerb was hold
- on final pw form, dd alliances kill lamps

here is the full, uncut 2h 1min video of our fight:

there should be 4 full sources atm, more to come once people finish the download. please leave it in your share and upload it as long as possible, thanks.

enjoy, share the lulz we had and maybe it helps towards your own attempt. as previously mentioned, our major goal now is to learn a way to fight the final lamps 1 by 1. once we figured that out, i'm 99% sure we can beat it. pw itself is very weak, as you may noticed at the end of the vid were we just do damage to see how the dds do.

up to you what you and your ls makes out of it. we share this because we wouldn't be as far as we are without all the previously shared pw information from this community.

No seeders, I'm sad.

Good job getting as far as you did! TT is pretty much the one linkshell on Cerberus that I respect. :D

It wasn't TT alone. There was about ~75-80 people participating from what I observed.

Edit: That's probably why the title says TeamTT

About 60 actually, 40 TT and about 20 friends. Everyone else that was there as far as I know were there simply for the show. After we hit the final form, its possible that people just started to throw their bodies into the mix against the lamps, but defintely for the first 10 forms, we kept the organization tight and was defintely limted to a blm ally, the main ally, an add PT and 6-7 pld.

But yea fun fight, can't wait for the next run, we basically got to PW with 52 min left (something we can even further improve on, Hydra literally took about 15-20 min).

Oh one thing to note, probably written somewhere. The order of the forms did throw us off, It will do Chariot set, the toau kings, then cerb/khim/hydra. But within each of those sets, it seems to mix it up. We were expecting the discoid chariot to be 2nd, but was third this time around. Cerb was last instead of second last the first time we did this.

Hi,

I was just wondering if you will ever open apps again for ls or if you will keep it closed forever. I was going to apply a few months ago and was disappointed to see that they are closed. I can understand if you have the members you need was just surprised to see it no longer open. Anyways I know some of the TT peeps and most are good people.


Edit: Good luck on your next attempt on PW.
