Neo-Dynamis Changes

[Mahoro]

Was killing DL pretty easily with brd vere mnk x2 thf rdm dualbox whm, probably much more lowmannable if making use of things like earthen armor/scherzo combo, or a real whm.

What is the situation with Ying/Yang now? Haven't popped DL since the update so I just wanted to clarify what happens. Do you have people kiting them away?

[Khiinroye]

He summons them partway through the fight. They've never reached my group, regular DL dies really fast.

[Byrthnoth]

Yeah, honestly I didn't even realize they still spawned with him.

[Ksandra]

kk thanks for the info guys. How often does he spam death btw? slow enough for only 1 stunner right?

[Byrthnoth]

We did him with a Bard, three DDs (I think), and one stunner. I think he only got one TP move off. Remember that popping any NM in Dynamis grants a Confrontation status that unsummons Avatars, if you try to go the PD route.

He usually wouldn't summon them until it was like ~10% if anything, just had the thf grab them if needed. A badly timed chainspell can be pretty mean without a decent healer though, had one wipe cause of that.

[Ksandra]

hmmm ty guys, hopefully we can do it. XD

This appears to not be the case if you are only party/alliance in zone. We were popping NMs in Bastok yesterday and about 1/2 in stopped getting Confrontation status and icon. Could not figure out why until right at end when someone pointed out were were only ones in zone now. Did not have time left to see if having someone drop party and popping one caused it to come back. I doubt that will happen in Xarc but you never know.

In my experience it's only been the Boss/Archboss that is confrontation, the other 4 Tome NMs say "you have 30 mins" but don't unsummon.

Spoiler: show

ADL#1 had summoned ADL#5 and #6.
I think there is no "real" or "fake" Arch Dynamis Lord, you need to kill them all. If you are too slow it will summon again and again... Some japaneses blogs relate the same information.

Not true, all our wins have been with at least 1 add still alive.

[Tachi]

Oh ok, 5 was the real ADL on the video. Maybe there are 4 real ADL (1/3/5/7?) and 4 fakes (2/4/6/8?) if anyone uses POLUtilis on them.

[Churchill]

Has anyone proc'd old DL/got old drop items?

Also, is Windy as much of a pain to 3box TE's as Jeuno is, or is there more space and less cluster?

No Procs, have seen mantle/ring/100's though.

It's about even w/ jeuno. You could do all 5 if you can 1shot (impact + obi + no resist) and all the mobs looked away (1 NIN at the E 2, 3-5 mobs at the others). If you're really hurting for people can send small groups to 2 E side, Waters zone, and pick off the bridge to AH one as you pass, but the canal gate likely needs more than 3.

[Churchill]

I 3box w/MNK WHM BRD, so that's basically what I did for Jeuno with a few mishaps. Good to know the fun continues.

Did Arch DL with JPs this morning, it split in half at like 50%, we killed one, started fighting the other, PD wore off, and it split again and killed us all. Nearly every single melee had a Masamune/Ukon/Apoc/other relics or emps, and a 3 bard rotation, was sort of depressing.

Killed 4 regular DLs easily after that, first 3 no drop, last one dropped a ring. (Was just me and one other guy lotting, he beat me )

[Tachi]

Yea, Scherzo and EA are wonderful together, they stay all the time unlike Migawari.

Scherzo (no AF3 Feet) :

Ninjas NMs become a joke in Dynamis but even so, people completely underestimate these buffs, especially Earthen Armor...

Btw the latent effect has nothing to do with HP.

In case anyone's wondering, EA+Scherzo with higher skills and Aoidos's Cothurnes +2 can up to at least DT-83%. (It also works on special moves like Impalement/Mijin Gakure/Throat Stab/Ballista Kick/Disgorge/Cataclysmic Vortex/etc but not on Tarsal Slam)

Very handy in Voidwatch/Dynamis as has been said and probably on many other things.

Here's a question: What would be my best job combo/ technique for solo farming dyna-bastok. would I be able to get 5/5 TE's solo?

Background: Just finished my stage 4 currency, and i'm still 40 100 bynes short (assuming i get a lone) on my stage 5, I have all jobs but sch and pup leveled to 75 or higher, at 90 I have the starting 6, DNC, BLU, DRG, SAM, COR. I have decent PDT and MDT taken sets, but i'm curious if this is even a fesiable thing. I can shout of course to get a few extra folks, but would really like to finish this without dragging folks along with me. Are there any good camps that folks know about, and could I handle NM's with any of the job combos I can make?

Sounds like Arch DL will need full time EA+Scherzo. Unless you guys fell to death?

I think blu could get the job done, the time extensions except for the first 2 can be tricky to get, but wouldnt you be better farming xarc or something and selling the currency you don't need to buy bynes?
