Well you could get lucky and just prove it with the drinks! I'd test it myself but I don't have empathy merited yet (just dinged 90).

I'll repeat this again, but pets get your Atma. Why not use an MAB Atma?

My searchfu sucked so anyone got some tips on Azdaja? I joined a pickup to try and get a brd knife so it wont be as easy as with my friends. I'll try not to suck at searching again in the meantime.

(make a .txt file in your scripts folder, have it say this:
input /equip head "Hat";
input /equip neck "Neck";
input /equip feet "Shoes";
etc etc
and save it as something.txt, then in windower just type (or macro) //exec something.txt.

Spellcast is better, but this is another option and quite possibly what he was thinking of.

Edit: And Azdaja, yeah, tail tank + outside ally whm (cus aoes wont hit outside ally).

**Fievel** · 2011-04-26 23:08

Oh yeah I forgot that part, keep whm on the outside, even if he dispels your cruor buffs it's easy to survive with just utsu, his acc is awful and shadows absorb flail.

Probably either a competent stunner as well or time your ichi/ni shadows well with the -ga IV spells. He likes to -ga IV then immediately flail afterwards=dead tank.

And as far as the atma thing, I completely forgot lol. I'm still pretty new to abyssea so I don't remember a lot of the stuff.

Decent mdt set + competent healer and there will be no need :3 he has a pattern in how he nukes -> flails, easy to pick up on when fighting him. But then again he said he was going with a pick up, so meh, stunner may not be a bad idea if you don't know the whm lol

**Khajit** · 2011-04-27 00:16

First pop of the group. Wipe within 10~15 seconds. This is going to be a "fun" night.
But at least a whm has been convinced to go outside alliance after that fiasco.

**Fievel** · 2011-04-27 00:30

10sec? lol

**Khajit** · 2011-04-27 01:03

I'm not exaggerating. It basically went. I see they pulled it, I run over on brd to elegy and buff them.
spike flail , spike flail. FLAWLESS VICTORY. I didnt get to the end of my second song with troub/nightinggale off when songs tend to land around/under @25%.
Second run went alot better with whm on outside. Sadly they never put the whm back outside after they procced red for atma--> brew/invite and idk how a person brewtello locking ends up running out of time before he can kill more than one mob. Sounds like a job for random fail first thing in the morning.

So someone is claiming on the SE forum RNG board that it's AGI that increases ranged attack hit rate and not DEX like melee. Is this true?

**Mercilessturtle** · 2011-04-27 02:55

Yes, racc is agi.

THF + WHM + BLM. THF tanks from behind, whm and blm drop party. Spike flail/aga won't hit WHM outside party. When he is casting an aga, make sure to time ichi so it goes off right after the aga because he loves to follow up with spike flail. After each spike flail (make sure you are using ninjitsu to determine grellow proc) get the BLM in the party so he can do grellow spells and make sure he drops before next flail. There is some luck involved with the lame dispel, so if he get sit off and dispels your cruor buffs just have the WHM or BLM hold him by running up and down the hill (should pull it to flux 7 btw) while you get buffs. Also make sure you get the last hit on him before BLM drops pt or else it goes purple.

BLM doesn't need to be outside party, just have them sub nin and they can stun all -ga too.

**Draylo** · 2011-04-27 07:05

Then you lose a proc by not going /brd.

There is no such thing like mob likes to make TP move after -ga. Don't feed it TP (turn away) while he cast and it wont make TP move right after.

Idk if he asking to farm dagger or he asking to farm +2 items?

I was fighting every Azdaja at west and at 20+ fights we had aggro from one skele maybe once. I was MNK/blm and I was stunning -ga myself (only after dispel because before it -ga damage isn't a problem). I once died because of encurse + spike but other then that it was easy. I'm a Galka tho and w/o cruor /blm I had 1980 HP or something like that (Because of that I never tried to get cruor back while someone hold Azdaja I simply finished it w/o cruor)

My WHM always has Apoc on so in case of wipe he can easy zombie hold it.

If you need yellow I would suggest MNK/nin and use some HP atma if you are not a Galka. WHM outside and BLM outside and do it like Draylo wrote. I wouldn't risk THF tank. It's better to kill 3 with yellow safely then 2 with yellow and TH and risky.
I wouldn't also run for cruor in case of dispel. Just let MNK put RR on and only run back for cruor if he wipe or even HP to jeuno and come back if you don't need to stay in zone because of lights or time.

If you need dagger only I suggest mnk/war + blm/nin and whm outside and after blue stagger just pop some fanatic and 2hr (you wont finish it with that but it will speed up fight a lot). In case of dispel just let BLM stun all -ga and it will be easy.
