Delve

[Fondue]

Our first tojii all it wanted to use was baltholithic shell which is horrible stoneskin when you're already hitting for gimped damage, and today it was lahar spam

whats a taru gonna do

[Jem]

Yeah, you're basically hoping it spams Pyroclaustic Surge or wtf it's called.

Also forgot, it gains access to Dispelga at some point too.

[Diomer]

We killed 5NM and played 10min with Tojil same dmg.

Maybe I misunderstood, but it seemed like acc and everything sounded much better than when bead locked since you took it to 50% in half the time as bead locking.

[NynJa]

i dont remember reading anywhere that killing NM's opposing to locking them out via beads nerfs NM's though.

The 50% Tojil was with Bead locking. The 5 NM run was the previous run where we just dicked around with Tojil, didn't try anything serious. There was no noticeable difference between bead locking and killing all the NMs with no beads.

Ah, okay then.

did some turtle(kurma) and have some breakthrough findings with aid of some info from JP wiki


2. the stomp move does not seem to 1 shot anyone... so theres really no need to kite... just fight him at pop area

That is because we had +5 scherzo on. Tetsudo Tremor is still highly dangerous if blms are not kiting.

Have you guys been using a Geo on the Delve mega-boss, not that it appears that wouldve helped on the shark, or with meteor spam.

[Jem]

We did. GEO debuffs are very useful for pretty much every NM.

[Raffi_XI]

galka geo is the way to go

[Toth]

What's better in your opinion: Indi Def Down + Geo Torpor or another combo? I hate being in the line of fire but cest la vie.

[ccl]

We do eva down/def down. Our geo sit on like 40% pdt/capped mdt ? Something like that

[Tymon]

Sorry for knowing nothing about GEO, but do you only need one to get a high degree of utility?

Or does it take two to get multiple good debuffs on?

Can do one from the distance (the GEO spell) and one that you need to be up close for (the aura-like Indi).

Range might might be counted as far as activation for the TP move is concerned, It could be alliance-wide thing.

Well I meant no one got it dispelled as far as I know

[Kujah2010]

Im curious as to your setup jem, especially if you are getting kurma down so fast. We can do the first 4nms in around 20 mins but kurma just takes forever with melee!
Our setup is:

DD DD DD BRD COR WHM
DD DD DD BRD COR WHM
PLD RDM SCH BLU GEO SMN

Any tips?

Our dd setup are the same, for 3rd pt we used pldX2 geo brd whm sch, outside plds are thfs.

same here, i can imagine most DD setup can kill all 4 NMs fast but the kurma will be a massive block

how you guys bring down kurma with a DD setup in 20 mins?!

10min ish, we dispel shell, we rebuff after song, we use debuff(geo, dia, impact), our melee are sam and drk

Not sure about the BLMs, but there was no scherzo in my party because I'm a horrible BRD; Tetsudo only ever did ~800-900 damage to me even when I didn't have protect. Definitely dangerous if he does it twice in a row.
