In what part of misreaux does kutharei spawn? Wiki doesn't say.

[Francisco]

If it's the chess piece mob, then it's just south of the raptors behind the gate.

[Khajit]

Does the sobek atma give counter even when not a mnk?

Yes.

[Maguile]

You are what you eat - lowman strat guyz?

[Khajit]

Rogues roll any good again thanks to RR atma?

[Not Kuno]

Good way to lowman Kukulkan and the NMs to pop it? (wyver, hippo, arhiman)

[Pendulum]

Does grellow affect magian trophy NMs in Vision zones? (chloris buds, carabosse gems etc.)

[rog]

I would guess so, but not sure.

Wivre: dd+someone with paralyna. Arhiman: we did 2xrdm/nin plus someone to grab the adds, but it is quite possible that you only need one of the rdms. Peiste: 2 rdm/nin and a brd (or someone else with stona). Never fought the hippo so I can't help you there.

[Manf]

The hippo is easy, and wiki makes it sound much worse than it is(as usual). DD/WHM killed it easily(could use RDM I'm sure). It uses multiple tp moves in a row; wiki said up to 4. I only ever saw 3 at most, usually only 2. You could try to turn everytime you see it attempt to use a tp move so you don't get terrored from jettaura, although the most damage I took from a tp move was around 800 from a back heel(with counterstance up). Pretty easy to heal through.

[Not Kuno]

My only issue is a)no rdm b) my only DD jobs are drk/thf/blu/rng and c) my 2box only has brd. I do thf/brd for a lot of stuff that isn't super accurate, but on stuff that cast spells I get raped. D: Plus a lot of old zone NMs are retardedly stronger than scars ones. >.>;

[Manf]

I'm 100% sure THF and BRD could do the hippo as long as the BRD has a refresh atma or two. His accuracy was pretty bad against a monk.

Searching these forums is a real bitch, so here's a few questions that probably have been answered:

1. Lowman strats for Ovni? besides 2x RDM.
I have available:
Pretty much every job 75+, MNK, SAM are the best melee, RDM BLM top notch
RDM, BRD, WHM, BLM, SMN, meh gear, has a good amount of merits
WHM, BLM, newish character, pretty gimp, ok gear, blm isn't even ele capped
Only good atmas I have are Razed Ruins and Minkin Monstrosity (sp? lol), WHM's 2nd atma is Carabosse's (lacking any other refresh atmas on it)

3rd char is pretty much stuck on whm, so I usually end up doing MNK RDM WHM, which works but is kinda slow. I've been using this for Carabosse pretty successfully, with the 2nd char being rdm/drk for stun.

Would Melee RDMorBRD WHM work for Ovni? Never done it before, but really want to get the abyssite, and I guess a belt wouldn't hurt. This is the main reason I don't want to do 2x rdm, and because I'm 3boxing all of these characters so I don't know if I'd be able to.

2nd question, TH only way to help increase Empyrean items? I'm currently 12/50 and I don't think I've seen a double drop yet -_-

3. Warbler, again interested in the merit abyssite, would it be doable? (Also, I really doubt it, but just for the lulz, what about Eccentric Eve? I really want that vv atma )

Thanks for any input
(I miss having a linkshell )

You've got 2 rdms available, stop that "besides 2x rdm" shit. You know the answer, why are you even asking?

Same damn thing for warbler too.

[Kidnoftle]

actually I find dd whm rdm faster than rdm 2x on ovni >.>

Do you just kite with rdm if DD gets 1 shot?

[Julian]

Yeah ok I'm gonna play 2 rdms by myself without any trouble at all. OK

Also, one of the rdm's is pretty shitily geared. If you're not going to answer the question, then don't post.

[Kidnoftle]

Can't kite it, never been 1 shotted by it, just man up and dd it. Nothing dangerous except a potential boosted primal drill which even then hits for 1.8 without shadows. The thing has the accuracy of a downbaby with a blindfold, I cap eva easily on nin. It also has no eva so don't have to worry about acc issues. Damage output on it is pretty static even if it gets off 4-5 invinces, you won't see you're dmg suddenly drop to nothing. If you opt with mnk whm rdm you get all blue procs, if you go w/ nin rdm whm you get 11/15. Don't really see a reason to rdm 2x it.

Edit: If you're worried about the DD going down just have the rdm/nin and hold it while the DD hps and comes back.

[Julian]

Alright, thanks. Nin is one of the jobs I don't have leveled, so I'll try MNK on it when I get a chance. Thanks.
