Neo-Dynamis Changes

[Mojo]

Well even in Bastok, it really is only that one time extension that is a problem. The one on top of the bridge you can TP snipe when stuff turns. Bring reraise just in case shit on the bottom aggros you. Really not that hard.

[Mojo]

Also, I'm interested in hearing how many groups are handling the popped NMs, if people are even trying them yet. NIN THF BRD WHM can endure most of them, although I tend to hit a deadlock at around 30% HP where we end up dieing because of their insane stat growth. I'm honestly thinking of (not that I even know this many interested people) bringing in a similar set up posted above but also with a bunch of BLM to nuke it down fast at the end because it really is just that absurd. Do TP moves like Spirit's Within and Atonement get resisted?

[Flic]

How feasible is it to get all the TEs in Sandy as NIN/DNC? Thought I read any place but Xard and Beau was an issue solo? This true?

Each sandy TE has a rdm and pld mob based by it, I don't think can pull clean.

[Daiiawn]

If you have 8 decent people the popped nms seem to be a joke (DL may need a different setup idk havent tried)

We usually have
Sam (Masa)
Mnk (veg)
Drk (Apoc)
Thf
Brd
Whm

Blm
Blm

NMs die in about 50-60 seconds, half of which they are staggered for.
**Blms are largly there for add control/procs

[Mojo]

Which NMs have you done with that set up?

[AzazaelFenrir]

Just tried getting an hourglass from the gobbies and they instead gave me some KI?? Also I heard rumors about proccing in Dynamis, so I tried Red Lotus Blade on a Kindred WAR and got red... Time for more elemental WS's LOL!

Do me a big favor, go get a big bottle of bleach, and Drink it all. Every last drop. Please, go now. . .


As for the TE issue.
Sandy TE's - will require you to pull at least one or two mobs before hands.
Windy TE's - Decent except for the one by the Waters Zone line.
Jeuno TE's - Do a different city.
Basty TE's - Haven't done Neo Basty yet.
Beauc TE's - Not terrible, a little bit of patience and you can get them all solo.

if you can proc the NMs, they become a joke no?

In bastok - First TE at AH has no adds, Second TE up the ramp has 2, if you are patient they path so you can pull without a link, 3rd TE has got 2 adds in the upper alch guild ally, 4th TE is with an NM, can pull it without aggro'n NM and the last TE is at the bottom of the alch guild right in front of the door, and its pretty much a guaranteed 1-2 aggro aggro.

All the city ones. I haven't been to a Beau or Xarc run with Daii but don't think they've bothered with them as of yet.

What she said

[AzazaelFenrir]

As said early in the thread. Pre popped NMs become a joke yes. Force pops will still have access to all their two hours. All you are buying yourself is a brief stagger window.

[MaachaQ]

Didn't notice info on this NM yet, Cavanneche. He's DRK/BLM Popped @ Nue's tower using Odious Mirror. Killed 2x, staggered with WS both times. Both times dropped Tome and Helm

[Arthars]

me wants that helm

[Koyangi]

I'm sorry if it's been mentioned, there's many NM's to pop and kill and such. I've just recently acquired the Jeuno mega boss for win item, would we be able to kill, whm, rdm, brd, and thf?

Also, are TE and zone wins zonewide are do I need everyone in exp range? Thanks.

If anything the Beaucedine popped NMs are a lot easier than the city ones. They don't have any of the 'fuck you' unique TP moves (Charmga/Doom/Wrath of FUUU).

As for other Beaucedine NMs, not seen mentioned yet but:

NM is THF/WAR

Also popped Pignonpausard, no SS (forgot) but it's a WHM/SAM. Dropped Khthonios Mask.

Lack of real DDs in that setup is really gonna hurt. The HQ boss NMs in city zones seem to spam Seismostomp over and over and cast stuff like Death so you want it dead fairly quickly.

Also, TEs are zone wide. For example in Beaucedine can send a BLM to get all the easy TEs while the rest go do the 20min eye TE.

I've barely touched zone bosses since the update, but I thought there were two different "mega bosses". The one for clears should still be a joke (the one in Windurst was, anyway). They pop with two adds that are sleepable. Trying to kill the boss stat with just a THF might be tricky anyway though.

[Alkimi]

Ah ok, I saw 'mega boss' and assumed HQ.

The NQ for normal zone win should be fine. Dunno if Jeuno one casts Death but shouldn't be many issues other than that.

[Byrthnoth]

Okay, so in addition to the most recent revalations, I put Pignonpasard down for Khthonios Mask and Fiendish Tome 23.

I'd would put significant quantities of fake money (gil) on Avesta Bangles dropping from Arch Angra Mainyu. They're mythologically related, in that Angra Mainyu is a figure written about in the Avestian language. I'd bet his other drop is Chtonic Staff, which fits with the greek underworld theme of the rest of the zone.
