Ark Angel Battles: The Second Coming

And another exalted log. Looking like the materials might be specific to the individual Arch Angels. Need to see more loot pools to be sure.

**Draylo** · 2013-12-12 00:50

Wow Normal mode EV was 10x easier than hume for some reason. Dropped an exalted log from normal mode.

What was your strat on EV NQ ?

**pancakesandsex** · 2013-12-12 12:37

This. We got murdered with 4xoat mnks, whm and rdm. Accuracy was a huge issue. Thinking about doing 6xSMN

Retarded setup, swap rdm for brd at a minimum. Can also swap one of the mnks for a cor if acc is still an issue.

In my retarded defense then, that setup worked excellent for every SKC20 we did on normal mode. Didnt seem dumb to assume it would work for these fights

I can 3box any SKC20 on normal mode with Brochain, Maoc MNK and SCH (no burning 1hr's either) in about 8 minutes. I'm not throwing this out there to wave my e-dick around, I'm just giving you a baseline of how easy Normal SKC20 actually is.

Not to mention this:
"In case you are curious about the current content level, when selecting “normal” difficulty, microcosmic orbs are content level 107 and macrocosmic orbs are content level 109."

Compared to this:
Setting the difficulty level
Each mission battlefield is divided into five levels of difficulty. Boss strength, number and drop rate of spoils, and content level increase in line with difficulty.
Difficulty Content Level
Very Easy 113
Easy 116
Normal 119
Difficult Over 119
Very Difficult Over 119

Did my video show?

**Ophannus** · 2013-12-12 15:24

Did EV use Benediction? Was Scherzo used or DT% gear? Surprised Spirits Within didn't one shot anyone, would imagine at lvl119 it would do like 3-4k or something.

It did Benediction healed 51k lol. I had acc gear on mostly unless she was on me. I had blinkmenot but I think others were in pdt

**Damane** · 2013-12-12 16:27

AA Galka was a bitch in normal mode, suggestion of fulltiming PDT gear and bouncing hate between melees, because 1.9k+ kasha leading in a light skillchain is not even for monks survivable. even with PDT gear your monks can still go into danger, fast heals required (keep your melees toped off).

He made fast food out of the monks, then we switched to full PDT mode. even then sometimes a mnks HP would drop by 2k if they were hit by a skillchain. one monk even died to a kasha ----> light skillchain in PDT gear (capped HP), because hate wasnt bounced :/. Kiting is good if you have hate and dont want to be hit by follow up WS, until hate switches to another melee.

Didnt try hard mode yet, but I have no idea how to deal with that amount of dmg if it goes higher up orz. This fight seems a canditate for bringing a pld @ tougher modes.

You can bind/gravity/slow/Para etc the galka.

EDIT: below 25% i think, he switches his WS order from something ---> something ----> tachi: fudo as ender

**Falown** · 2013-12-12 17:16

Just saw the video, /NIN and utsusemi is required, right ?
cause last attempt we wiped at 45%, PLD got one shotted with arrogance move.

**EjinCaitsith** · 2013-12-12 17:47

GK, Hard Mode. MNK/NIN x3 WHMx2 and BRD.

Extremely easy fight. Only AoE it has is Dragon Fall, which it doesn't spam. Killed it in under 9min(we took a min or 2 to buff inside the BC) with 0 deaths.

Spams SAM SP1 many, many times.
Resummons wyvern if you kill it.
Wyvern was sleepable with lullaby and a top tier debuff set. Repose never stuck.
It has a very high zanshin rate.
Gains access to Fudo at <25%. Can use 2 Fudos back to back.

**Ophannus** · 2013-12-12 18:19

/NIN to avoid 1hit WS?

**Draylo** · 2013-12-12 18:52

It's not required but I prefer sub Ninja on blu. More room for spells too for more acc.

**Darkmagi** · 2013-12-12 19:19

/nin adds a big safety net at least, I'd highly advise using it. We did MNK/NIN x2 WAR/SAM(Died instantly, wasn't a lot of help) WHM WHM BRD for elvaan. Wasn't too difficult, wiped once and restarted after bene, was mostly due to player error though.
