Hey guys, our static which has been together since lvl 40, got our first actual challenging NM kill tonight. I know to most of you guys it won't seem that great, but it was kind'a one of those milestones for us all.
Our static is at 64, we have pld, war, rng, blm, rdm, whm. We were in Boyhada Tree, and someone in our LS told us Aquarius had spawned. So, seeing as how our rng needed his Fransisca, we escaped and headed in.
First thing first rdm did ES + Gravity, and pld voked. He kited with earth staff, building hate, and keeping himself alive with a tad bit of help from our rdm. The rng and I(war), were tp'ing off of a nearby robber crab. After we figured hate was pretty much established, we went for it. The blm started nuking, the rdm started heavily enfeebling, and my girlfriend the whm (squeeking with shaky nerves and excitement here at her comp screen), was just trying to keep up. The SC went for a combined 400 or so dmg ><, but the burst was good enough for 700+. The blm kepted nuking, the rng and I built up TP again, and the pld went back to kiting. We did our SC one more time, and then the pld used his 2hrs. The rng and I used our's, and the blm and rdm went nuke-crazy.
We killed him, he dropped meat, shell, 2 water crystals, fransisca, and Damascene cloth. Cloth's currently at 800k on our server, so we made some good gil for our static fund.
I just wanted to share, because I thought we did very well and we all had a blast. Other than this I think our most remarkable kill was shadowlord or something ><, so I was proud of us. =D
