Dynamis Lord Strategy??

[Genosync]

That's what, -30% total?
Then we have Fast Cast + Warlock's Mantle for like another 15%.

Minus 45% cast time? That should be outlawed.

[Octavious]

Well, for those who don't know me I'm Octavious of Cait Sith I frequent these boards cause they provide a lot of information. I was wondering if you could share a few tips on Xarcabard, my DynamisLS Crusade is going there ETA2-4 weeks or so. We have gotten to the mega boss in Beaucedine on our practice run LOL with 29ppl~. I've read a little about the dynamis itself but the Dynamis Lord strategy isn't spelled out well, aside from Chainspell + Stun (Yes BLM own RDM DarkSkill). If you want to see our site, http://www.crusadels.com , or my photo site http://www.octavious.piczo.com , or email me at mailto:[email protected] it'd be GREATLY appreciated. Quicklet is wise kitty! /bow

It's not resists. It has no effect. Take this pic for example.

It's the same shit as when a Ahriman uses Airy shield.

Also, wtf do you se a rdm/drk on the RDM NM for? Its a pussy and can spam *AT* worst tier 3 spells.

[Quicklet]

It's the same shit as when a Ahriman uses Airy shield.

Actually that's the same message as when you stun something before its previous stun wore off. Casting spells on ahrimans after they use magic shield still show up as resists.

[Genosync]

Mmhm. The only time you will see a 'No Effect' message is when the effect is already on the mob, to reiterate what Quicklet said.

At least his Stun landed once.

[Marcatil]

I think it landed more than once. Sendo is the leader I think of a Dynamis LS called IRON, and there was a video out when they took down the DL. You might end up watching it twice, once for the instanity of the fight, twice for the chatlog spam :D

Edit: Oh yeah, DRK and BLM have the same Dark Magic cap.

[Quicklet]

Dynamis Lord downed by NA's on Bismarck ^^. 0 deaths the entire ~minute it lasted. We had a pretty diverse group of jobs (atleast one of each), but our main strength came from about 10 RNG and 10 BLM. BLM tear apart Ying and Yang, RNG own Dynamis Lord without mercy. 2 sets of 2 RDM/DRK's for chainspell stun to hold him down and he wont get off a single attack.

There really isn't any way in the game to do that right now without chainspell stunning, so yeah even though you might end up with a lot of "no effect" stuns because you're casting so fast, you're still basically keeping him immobilized the entire time. If you're not keeping him immobilized then a lot of people are gonna die, there's just no way to avoid it the way the game mechanics work.

Never noticed the magic shield since I don't play a mage job. ;3 Onry notice Airy shield because it fucks over my RNG "Sidewinder has no effect on the blah" etc. ;3

[deadzee]

There is aJP linkshell that kills hima way without having to keephim chainspell stunned....it takes them about a hour. I'll ask my riend about it when I get off acation, see if I can find out what they do. They kill it pretty efficiently with about40~ people.

[Quicklet]

1 hour fight vs 1 minute fight, hmm...

[Genosync]

I think we know which one has the least risk involved.

And I wouldn't want to spend an hour killing DL when I can kill him in ~1-5min and farm AF/recover from deaths the rest of the time.

[Zaris]

Can people really get to the Dynamis Lord with an hour or so to spare? Seems sketchy at best but I dunno. Considering that a lot of his moves (that I have seen) seem instant, it seems that gambling life and limb by chainspell stunning and finishing him off in a heartbeat is more efficient then letting it drag for an hour. Long fights wear some people out and lets unexpected circumstances become reality.

[Quicklet]

Yes.

[mdn]

if you rush to him and don't fuck around you can make it so when you wipe you have your 2 hours back for a second try by the end of dynamis

[NynJa]

sub nin

subbing nin doesnt work. that tri Omni Slash thing fucked me up through full shadows, lol.

[Fira]

Sub nin does work. It takes 3 shadows, if you have 2 only, then you're dead.

[NynJa]

well then I'm a shitty thief.



Nynja begins casting Utsusemi:Ichi
Nynja gains the effect of Copy Image.
Nynja hits Dynamis lord for 5 damage. <- yay thf's
Dynamis Lord readies Oblivion Smash.
Dynamis Lord readies Oblivion Smash.
Dynamis Lord readies Oblivion Smash.
Nynja's Copy Image effect wears off.
Nynja gets pwned, alongside 30 other morons.

Zaris, just to elaborate on what Quicklet said, last night we reached Dynamis Lord with 1hr21min left. Unfortunately, most of that time went to waste because we didn't win and were left with a team full of low spirits for the better part of an hour. No farming was successful after the DL attempt, but with a solid route on the way there, you can have a lot of time remaining. We had 57 people, I believe.

And I think you need to differentiate between his AoE. Violent Rupture, just like Wrath of Gu'Dha from Quadav NMs is blinkable by Utsusemi. If not blinked, you'll be knocked back and gravitied. Oblivion Smash is massive AoE damage (partly dark? '-') which seemingly can't be blinked. Tera Slash is another AoE of his; we saw this lovely WS in a batch of 4 summons of himself, so perhaps this is another blinkable one you may be thinking about, and just seeing 4 of them, fucked us up regardless.

[Zaris]

Ah, I see. I didn't realize about how quick people can reach the DL since I myself haven't even been to Dynamis-Xarcabard yet. I meant no disrespect.

And I see what his weapon skills do now. But if I recall correctly from Deadhead's fraps video of Wiffleballs' first attempt at Dynamis Lord, he was casting -ga III elemental spells too that seemed like they were casted instantly. I'll have to review my sources once I install a new motherboard cuz my previous one got busted. >.>

[Roranora]

Yeah he casts at a Chainspell rate, essentially.
