If you guys have a Justicair's torque, you can just counter the 5% Haste with 5% Slow and only deal with Fast Cast. I always avoided Haste in the past when I did Fast cast testing so I would not have to deal with a potential second rounding step.

Wiki says skeletons have -50% piercing and -12.5% slashing Im surprised none corrected me with my lol -33/-25.

Botulus Rex infos: (3rd rift is at F-9, west side of F-9 square)

Chymous Reek:AoE, average dmg, Stun + Shock
Sloughy Sputum:AoE Conal, Average dmg, Gravity + Drown
Crowning Flatus: AoE,average dmg, Stun
Rancid Reflux: AoE Conal, average dmg, Gravity
Just Dessert: AoE, average dmg, Stun + Drown (high hp/tic)
Gnash 'n Guttle: HP Down

One of these TP move must have a hate reset because hate is really weird on it.
Cast all -ja spell and Meteor. Maybe Death too, saw someone talking about it in previous pages, dont remember who.
Can chainspell multiple times. When it does it, from my experience, it seems to focus on only one person as long as this person isn't dead, maybe i'm wrong.
Has a bio aura.
En-amnesia on melee it but not 100%.
Has acces to regen, not reallly high but high enough to recover 1~2% if you stop dmg for 2~3 mins.

About the fight, like it was said before, Wildfire does really good dmg on it and aegis pld really help to tank it. The alliance i was in was able to drop it between 30~50% HP. Wiped after that due to lack of proc but it's not as hard as it look.

Gaunab's unique move is called Immolating Claw - moderate conal damage, plague (the MP/TP drain one) and perhaps something else if a DD knows.

Easier than dealing with Death Prophet anyway.

Ok I parsed 8 Kalasutrax. It definitely has some kind of PDT but Im 500% sure its usual for this type of mob 50% not more. I was regularly hitting for ~1k Ukko with this PDT up.

Idk if any part of parse can help you guys on understanding when it turns on this PDT?

Thats Ukko from 7 and 8 which were worst (partial wipes, low staggers so a lot of ukko w/o buffs and with PDT up)

Spoiler: show

and this one is our best one with white stagger followed by many red almost from start

Spoiler: show

Those are the rest

If you have the full log, check and see if it has something to do with the stance. I believe the stance is what gives it the DT-%, and every time (or only sometimes?) a stagger is proc'ed, the stance is reset (removed), until the mob uses the "Stance" TP move again.

If Kparser have log saved somewhere then I can otherwise not really.

I see people found Gerra's Staff off of Botulus Rex. Has same model as Fire/Vulcan's staff, add effect fire damage, and kind of mediocre stats -- anyone check if it has hidden fire affinity? May have been testing done in another thread, I haven't seen.

I got 7 points of dmg difference nuking Hares in Ronf with smn/rdm99.

With staff 135, without 128

Is that a difference 10INT can make? Just a quick rough test, I don´t have BLM or SCH. The "hidden" thing so far seems to be the "big" numbers the add effect can do. Got dmg ranging from 220 to 350. It didn´t lower Ifrit prep either.

If you have anything else I can do on SMN/something, I´ll do it.

**jimbobsonofgod** · 2011-12-19 12:36

My apologies its actually 1:09 instead of 1:08 for the hat + loq earring.

**ronin sparthos** · 2011-12-19 13:20

Gwynn ap Nudd has a unique TP move called Louring Skies that gets progressively more annoying as the battle drags on. The AOE dmg + paralyze + bind is at least 15'-20' from him and can make the battle annoying when he decides to use it repeatedly.

He also occasonally enjoys Thunder V'ing random targets (usually after skies). Uses a normal spellcaster mob set of nukes, AOE nukes and AOE enfeebles.

Likely just difference from INT, so I guess it's just the enfire effect then. Oh well. q_q (although those are pretty crazy numbers for add effect, I'm guessing proc rate is something less than 100%?).

**Lyramion** · 2011-12-19 16:58

Eyeballing procrate was maybe 10% only.

**Rehn** · 2011-12-19 17:17

How's the droprate for the armor pieces from the new VW? On par with body armor from jeuno T3?

**Karbuncle** · 2011-12-19 17:28

Well, I did... 12 Gaunubs or w/e, I think maybe of those 12, 2 People got a hat, and ~3-4 Got a leg.

I personally got 3 Guns.

So... Drop rates are still pure shit. On the EX junk anyway. I know 12 isn't a huge sample size, but it is 12 x 18 Considering the amount of people we had.

**detlef** · 2011-12-19 21:17

Is there a way to determine your current progress on a given tier in VW? I have a mule that I left out of one or more fights (can't remember) when we were doing Jeuno t2 clears but I can't remember which one(s). I remember somebody posted this question and the answer was with the debriefing with VW officer. However, I think it is just telling me which zone I can go to in my current tier. Is there another way to tell?

**EjinCaitsith** · 2011-12-19 23:04

Even though it's pretty obvious at this point, we can confirm that Botulus Rex drops Athos's tabard, nq knife, and riftcinder(probably drops dross, too).

Spoiler: show

**Lyramion** · 2011-12-19 23:08

Nice, knew they wouldnt give demon Empy99 items and this one not. Time to test crit bonus amount.
