Delve

[kenshyn]

We've done alot of matamata over the last week in shell, inside fracture, and it really seems to vary on how many it takes. We use 1 SMN to prepare it with a PLD holding while DDs kill another NM usually. We let it TP and just Thunderstorm once inbetween. Ive seen it be ready for kill after 4 tps and sometimes after 7.

I guess the real question for me would be is when does it reset? After 4 and you hit for 0 then it resets at 5 if damage isn't changed?

still thinking wat 3 NM to sealin morimar delve

....
but im thinking 15 people can kill raptor while SCH MNK BRD solo mata the same time we hit on raptor...

Seal Matamata, unless it as gimmick, mnk will be 100% useless on Tojil.

Which NM is easier outside: Tax'et or Mastop?

Tax'et

[Jem]

Tax'et by a landslide imo.

Tax'et for sure, it's simpler anyways in that you just have it use 20~ exuviations and then zerg it down. Mastop you deal with the headache of debuffs on everyone in range, petrification, etc.

[Nishida]

Is 1x RDM enough to get the 20 Exhuviations? Should I get a SCH too?

[Jem]

1 RDM is generally enough. Also get your DD's to spam WS'es that inflict status effects. It's not like their damage matters until the end of the exuv cycle anyway as it's healing all the damage back.

Last question..my main adoulin job is MNK but I have Blutkrallen which does Add effect: weakens defense and my main WS is Shijin which adds plague. Is that going to be an issue?

I'd have everyone with a debuff throwing them onto it. This includes ws brd songs blu if you got it flash absorbs etc

Yes, same as using shinjin, switch wpn and use asuran w/e else good ws you have.

Guess I'm going BLU since I don't have anything to switch to. :X

Been a pretty big fan of having a corsair sub dancer to keep a samba on the wamoura. Its pretty noticeable sometimes since the samba effect guarantees that it will always have 1 debuff on it.

In sad news, geomancer enfeebling auras do not block the damage from hellpounder on the scorpion post 50%. It would've been awfully convenient, and a nice niche for GEO, but sadly SE seemed to think that would be OP (or potentially glitched).

[Prothescar]

Has anyone tried opposing element runes/lunges on that pugil to weaken his enspell?

[Vathris]

Is the gimmick on the T5 turtle, Kurma, known?

[Ophannus]

Doing Basalt Delve right now and noticed that as a RDM I can sleep Eft/Raptor/Matamata with extreme ease for the entire 45mins. Instead of having 3 PLDs to tank each mob, I've just been sleeping them all, think the next run we'll try 1 PLD tanking all 3 with a WHM healer and a BLU just spamming AoE sleeps for the fight. They don't SEEM to build resistence, though I am getting GEO magic acc boost. I've been sleeping them for basically full duration with 80% accuracy for basically the entire 45 minutes.

[dasva]

They do build resistance or at least outside they did when raged... but they started out so easy to sleep that it would probably take a long time for anyone with any real skill lvl and decent gear to notice

[Hermaeus]

ok so i have been working on farming the beads for eventually hitting up boss's so what i am currently looking to find is some advice on doing mastop out side. set ups etc any advice would be great!

[chichicha]

this should mean we are able to hit boss chamber in less than 10 mins

Haven't got chance like this.
But does the first wall drop sooner you have cleared T1-T3?
If not... You are still waiting 15mins?!
