LVL 90 Solos

**Trix** · 2011-03-23 10:34

Lamia .09 is another one easily solo'd the usual way of re-summoning. Not sure about other jobs since though b/c the nm is smn. The drop for this might actually be worth it atm (levi attack bonus, anyone have it?) Is there some other hand piece that gives attack?

**Gustave** · 2011-03-23 11:36

Just curious since I haven't played in a while. What would Ochain have to do with DI compared to Aegis? Does it stop the stun/bind/gravity?

**Nemesio** · 2011-03-23 12:14

I think its just survivability.

**Gustave** · 2011-03-23 12:35

I was just under the impression you could only shield block rampart stance.

**Freon** · 2011-03-23 12:59

Add effect doesnt go off when you block, Trample move still steals ur mp when it successfully lands and when its coming back from trample its attack it totally wierd, im never able to block that so i step back a bit so its too far away.

Nin/dnc should be able to do DI also now, worst bit would be finding it without /rng. SW serket, guirve and lambton probably aren't that hard either now. Guirve would be the most dangerous because if you aggro it, I imagine it could still kill you quite fast.

Definitely keen to do hydra when servers up since torque is rare and is worth an inv slot.

Guivre isn't that bad, when I duo'd it a few weeks ago on NIN his accuracy was really horrible. I guess he could get a lucky Fang Rush in, but it can always go bad anyway.

**Chun Liroy** · 2011-03-23 16:12

How is the torque worth it now? Serious question. 50hp/1 TP?

**Fottiti** · 2011-03-23 16:13

You can use it to wake yourself up since its the same as a DoT. Good for solo or if you are with a mage who doesn't pay attention.

**Chun Liroy** · 2011-03-23 16:19

In certain situations I guess where you absolutely can't be hit.

Not Mage since...

LV 75 WAR PLD DRK SAM DRG

Always hated the Job selection in it ><

Frenzy Sallet isnt that good either:

LV 64 MNK THF DRK BST SAM DRG DNC

At least has MNK on it. Reminded me to get one.

**Fottiti** · 2011-03-23 16:24

If you are /dnc the mobs almost certainly hit you for more than 50 (abyssea, various NM solos outside of abyssea). Obviously you can always wait to be hit but a lot of the time you will have capped evasion so its easy for mob to miss 4~ in a row. From a utility point of view its more worthwhile than an individual piece PDT or MDT gear (my opinion anyways).

Edit: Just saw jobs, I initially wanted it for sam and completely forgot about that. Is always Frenzy Sallet (which still doesn't do Nin) but I won't be wasting time getting that. Oh well, still be getting one for Sam and War.

Just for clarification's sake:

1/1 on Project: Shantottofication BCNM, solo smn.

Spoiler: show

Considering it was my first try and the 1 week pause I could have done better, I guess.

Nice solo.

As soon as you killed one of them I knew the fight was yours as long as garuda didn't die with 20+ seconds on BP:Rage CD to pull hate back to her.

Wow, impressive!

A few posts back, you mentioned that you managed to solo Jailer of Faith on SMN. Any chance you could share your strategy?

I tried it earlier today and, to be honest, was surprised how far I was getting with just letting Garuda melee away -- 2 minutes of meleeing was worth ~10% of its HP. The problem I kept running into was avoiding -agas once I started resummoning my avatar. Each time it ran towards me, it would rape me with a Stonega III. I can't tell if it's because of my lolTaru HP (and/or the fact that I was weakened from a wipe on one or two of the pulls) or if because I'm doing something wrong. I had Shell2/SS/Barstone up each time.

Is there any trick to keeping enough distance between you and JoF while resummoning to avoid AoEs? I could never quite make it out of AoE range by running away (always got ~ 25.0 away WITH Gaiters).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well how far are you away when Garuda dies?

The carby kite/die/resummon method I learned was to get so far away you can't see the fight or the HP bar of the pet. At a certain distance the pet HP bar disappears but the name remains, when the name turns black(I run to this distance when garuda is like 20%ish) I resummon and if you run when she is low you know when to expect it. By time something gets to you at this distance you should have another avatar up even if the mob has flee speed. Use a BP and hate is on it, rinse and repeat.

Aquaveil+Stoneskin+Shell+Barspell and you should be good to get in a case even if it nukes you once then heal 32.1+ feet away so you don't generate hate and you should be fine.

Well the square room used to kite Jailer of Faith isn't very big. There's a pot north of it and a grah to the south so I can't really run into other rooms. That being said, the farthest away I can be (the other side of the room) is about 35'. Jailer of Faith is ridiculously fast so by the time Garuda gets resummoned, it's about 12-15 away. The problem is, as soon as it gets to me, it uses either Breakga or Stonega III for 700+ which either kills me or comes really damn close.

The only thing I can think of is waiting for it to start casting on Garuda, Release while it's still trying to cast, and resummon. If JoF stays still as it's trying to cast, I should get a few extra seconds of time. But if not, it's more or less the same problem.

**Syntex** · 2011-03-26 13:06

700 damage shouldn't kill you. Take off your HP->MP rings and maybe buy a few stone resist items. and that combined with stoneskin/aquaveil/shell/barspell and you should be fine. Barstona/barpetra in combination of those and he shouldn't outright kill you.

I think your not taking full advantage of stoneskin and buffs. If you get break just ride it out, your avatar might have hate if not then your SoL and got bad luck try again? Don't know what else other then a earth resist set.

**Darkmagi** · 2011-03-26 15:31

A smn is not going to resist from an NM of that level with /whm bar spells I'd think, invest in an MDT set.
