Ark Angel Battles: The Second Coming

[Trumpy]

Yea ffxidb doesnt entirely help for the reasons you stated, but i have seen a few references to this is a drop from DM only kind of thing and was just wondering if someone has made one place to find this info like the wiki yet. Sped thru this whole thread and saw mostly some strats and drops here and there. Well was just checking anyways thanks.

Apparently I was mislead. What I read was that Galka drops it, but it appears they were referring to the Galka inside of the DM fight. My apologies.

[Tarage]

Is Summoner useful for these fights at all? Or are they laughed at? Is the DM fight easier or harder than the individual fights? I know the 20 merit KIs are required for the solo fights, but are all 5 required for DM?

[Protey]

weapon for hume is anahera saber and castigation
weapon for elvaan is anahera sword and cagliostro's rod
weapon for mithra is anahera taber in addition to the one you have listed
weapon for taru is venabulum and anahera scythe
taru also drops fravashi mantle

you can use SMN in DM. someone posted that on a successful win on very difficult DM they used a SMN. the mobs in DM are the same as the individuals but you usually have a PLD supertanking while 2 parties of DDs kill each one at a time. So in a way, DM is easier than the individual fights. Yes you need to kill all five individual fights on normal mode (only once) before you can fight DM.

Mmm, so DM is more of a LS activity than a pickup party activity.

Guess I better start looking for a LS...

[Shenrien]

Has there been any confirmed gear drops off Normal? like grip off Hume. I know the weapons appear to drop from just about any difficulty with varying rarity, currently something like 0/10 on Normal Hume for grip and wondering if I'm just wasting my time / merits.

I saw a couple of DM /shout party on my server.

[Malithar]

Got the Grip off of HM on easy a few days ago, and the Manabyss Pigaches today on normal.

[Terravcota]

Off Normal I've seen:
MR - Sekhmet corset, Raimitsukane
TT - Fravashi mantle (x2), Theurgist's slacks
EV - Patricius ring, Dynasty mitts (x2), Osmium cuisses

SMN was used in our very difficult DM wins, while it might not be in the optimal setup, there aren't enough 119 RNGs on our server to make the optimal setup. So yes a SMN can have a spot in a DM and be useful.

What you said would work for DM on normal difficulty, not so much on VD.

It all depends on what difficulty you attempt it on. Normal and lower can be done with pick ups most likely, while difficult and very difficult should be done with a group of trusted people.

[Fake]

DM is likely doable on D with a melee setup but I haven't seen any reports of anything but GK being done with melee on VD. While I'm sure TT and EV can be done with melee setups on VD without too much hassle, MR and especially HM can probably 1 shot you with anything less than 2 shadows unless you fulltime DT gear (which doesn't work since these are the 2 with highest evasion).

[Tarage]

Yeah unfortunately every LS I've joined in the past year has evaporated. This game is hemorrhaging users.

[Hitou]

I'm in the same situation with no real LS anymore besides a tiny social shell. People I know personally have all left, but the total of people logging in when I play has actually gone up by about 200 players since they added Trust/eminence etc. Not sure how many ally sized LS even exist on Siren anymore.

On the side, what is the highest difficulty people have been able to duo MR? And what job set ups were used?

Done it as Pld/Dnc and Sch/Rdm on easy. Pld getting hate back after charm was messy, but it was easily survived by running back the tunnel when nearing charm. Typical dots and light nuking for damage. Imagine normal would be a bit rough to fit in enough damage, but might be doable with a different setup.

[NynJa]

I know it doesnt give you a huge window to work with, but couldnt you attempt to fealty at 50% and block it?

My personal solo experience on DNC/RUN is that MR uses Charm exactly at 40% and if the pet isn't alive it wont use it. So at 41% I switch and kill pet, then WS MR down to 39% and avoid the whole thing. (worked 2/2)
