The answer seems so obvious

I had been told he was immune to stun, that's what I get for not testing myself.

Can I stun it brd/blm? -_-

**Neisan** · 2011-01-15 20:38

He's not immune but he builds resistance, if you stun disgorge and only disgorge it shouldn't become a problem.

Edit: We win, it's not like we're losing pops left and right, just annoying to have to tank weakened for a bit.

If your "lowman" has to be two, then I'd say NIN with Miga isn't easily matched, especially if you're dualboxing it and may miss a stun. I would bet BRD/BLM could land Stun on him, but I know /DNC cannot (because he absorbs damage when readying TP moves the stun affect won't process, I only successfully stunned one Gorge/Disgorge and I'm still not sure how that worked).

Glavoid can disgorge without gorging, which does a pretty random damage. For me, it was always 3k (divided among the targets). I've heard other people report up to 9k divided among the targets though, which may correspond to what you're seeing. It could be HP-based, or based upon the last Gorge from the previous pop.

What do "Occ. grants dmg. bonus based on TP +5%" on moonshade earring?

This. Random 3k DMG is lame.

Isgebind with DRG MNK THF WHM BLM (Or BRD)?

**Julian** · 2011-01-16 00:11

Isgebind is pretty easy, did it MNK WHM RDM no problem, never really in any danger. Especially if the mages aren't 2boxed and can keep buffed and be ready for when it roars.

Not sure if answered yet, but since you have rdm, simply doing fan. drink -> diaga on the mobs at the 100 yalm warning and nuking one of the spheroid will allow you to break even on the drink before dying. Also, the martello won't immediately die to the onslaught of mobs this way, helping prolong the battle to gain more credit. If not on rdm, can use a regain atma and AoE ws with drink for a similar effect. Additionally, having a pet job helps as the mobs will focus on the first npc they see, either the shields or your pet. As for zone, just go to wherever has the chance of attack at 80-85% reported by Horst.

**Sylvrdragon** · 2011-01-16 01:33

What ever happened to Kraken DRK? Does it work on stuff in Abyssea, or did SE finally say "Fuck that shit" and make everything immune ala AV?

**Yugl** · 2011-01-16 02:11

That sounds really nice. Was the RDM there for debuffs (What lands and how tough? Tower Atma needed?)?

**evilpaul** · 2011-01-16 03:11

Is Sedna fucking broken or what? I joined two groups that proc'd red on it and I still don't have the fucking Atma. Anyone gotten it?

**Cream Soda** · 2011-01-16 03:32

Who gets KI if the person who claimed warps? Next person who did an action on it? Have some competition and want to use all our players even those w/ KI. If they claim and i voke then they warp. Will I get KI?

**Seol** · 2011-01-16 03:34

I haven't kept up with BG lately, so at the risk of being an idiot and asking this again... Anyone has gotten any problems with POL crashing suddenly during fell cleaving? it only happens in the new areas so far, but during TE farming (which we do by Cleaving) ppl start DCing all the same time sometimes after Fell cleave goess off, it has happened more than 12 times in the past 2 weeks, all to different people, always 2-5 ppl DCing at the same time.

No, then it will simply be lost.

Got it fine, a while ago.

**Villian** · 2011-01-16 03:54

I did my glavoids with whm, thf, war, smn, and a rdm/blm. SMN and RDM was duobox, everyone had some sort of pdt gear and stay in glavoid's disgorge zone with avatar and it's pretty easy. We all had Earth Wyrm atma and with Barstonra from whm, slowga rarely land and nukes were weak. Used Titan for stoneskinga. Disgorge rarely gets out with a rdm/blm stun but we just wanted to play safe. Max disgorge is 9k I believe? Did ~60 glavoids and never one that hit my group over 9k total.

Edit: Sometimes we also get a disgorge 9k w/o gorge but it stop after me and thf stands a bit further away from glavoid, not sure if it's pure luck or not.

**SteveMc** · 2011-01-16 05:12

Perfect or close too Blade: Jin set up please.

Go to shinryu zone, get refresh atma, and turn on your barspell bot.

Page late but Shoggoth is easy enough on West side of gusta, kite it around the huge ass rock at E8-9. You don't really even need to kite him around something, he's so easy to outrun and in chainspell he'll only cast single nukes or sleepga so as long as you have poison pot up and run out of melee distance you should be fine. You cold just run from one end of the zone to the other and then back again, as long as you don't get hit with gaze TP move it's easy enough to outrun. Worst case you get hit with an aga nuke for 300dmg, keep running out of range wait for him to cast his next nuke, cast utsu and cure.
I've kited shoggoth down from the top of zegruhn (sp.) hill, and only died from chainspell because I didn't know how to cope with it then and got raped which woulda happened anywhere.

Edit: And a question. Just finished ToAU missions but now no one's doing salvage Balrahns isn't the obvious option anymore. 4Macc would still be good for Dark magic but it's only 2macc more than insect ring which I use now. Only other option looks like Ranged one for Rng/Cor. Which do you think would be best?

**rog** · 2011-01-16 08:46

in chainspell he'll only cast single nukes or sleepga

No, it still casts -gas during cs.
