Wait you wiped to Bennu?

[NynJa]

Well if they were using a SMN on it...

Good point

[Byrthnoth]

TP moves shouldn't be an issue with this method, as Avatar BPs give 0 TP, monsters hitting for 0 gives them 0 TP, and there's no reason to let the avatars melee. Something like Fistule would just be a matter of time, and probably wouldn't involve any clones unless he has regain.

[NynJa]

I'd GM someone if they were killing something solely based on this method...would take an hour to kill Bennu, and thats WITH the piercing bonus Garuda would get on predclaw

Except Predator Claws is slashing.

Back to tunga, why is Smn being able to kill it a problem? I solo Tunga / Eruca / Borer / Izazt or however its spelled on Rdm/Nin for jewels and I think tunga is the easiest part. Chainspell vs. Chainspell with Fools drink? Rdm wins.

Maybe because some ppl like to go in and kill it w/o doing azure farm for 2hr chest (especially solo) unless you want to wait 2h for next chainspell and thats pretty lame to kill 1time per 2h w/o red !!.

You got it right. Add a pickup group, greed from people wanting all 3 triggers, and idiots arming themselves to kill while triggering, and you find your alliance trying to hold the nm under 10% waiting for a club WS from the only WHM.

The SMN tanked impressively for 5 minutes while people learned their lesson.

Shows how much I care about smn

If it's so easy, why did the PLD fail?

[Atoreis]

Are you serious?
Did you just say that putting Garuda at Bennu is hard because PLD wiped? lol

[Kirschy]

Yinnyth was testing Atma of the Burning Effigy for Wildfire and came to the conclusion the "Fire-based weapon skill damage+: Major" works in the same way as gorget, not an extra multiplier for elemental WS. I went out to Abyssea and ran a quick test myself in capped conditions. Arching Arrow recieved ~ +.2 ftp boost. (Twice that of a gorget.) Interesting Atma for sure, not sure how much use it'll be considering other Atma have better damage potential. (For those math inclined, the actual bonus is 50/256 which is equivalent to using elemental Gorget + Belt.)

[NynJa]

If it's so easy, why did the PLD fail?

First, before I answer this question:

Wait you wiped to Bennu?

Because theyre using both PLD and SMN...

Now, to answer Purrloin's question:
Because SMN avatars can attain -100% PDT whereas PLD cant. Its kinda hard to die when you're getting hit for 0 on every physical attack.

I like this guy.

Shhh. I'm mocking BG people too dumb to understand "wipe." All the SMN had to do was exist, preventing the wipe. Puts the pressure on the BG-strength tampon, doesn't it?

[NynJa]

If you insist, perhaps if the PLD were on a useful job and the SMN were on a useful job, then there would have been no need to resort to defensive holding measures.
