Simurgh the -New HNM-

[Drinhkinn]

20 minutes? No wonder, we can take down roc in... what, 5-7 minutes, 10 tops ?

[Confuzed]

Here we go;

[removed broken link]

lolol

Same thing happened to my ls. We started with only 8 ppl or so and not much dmg dealers. As more came on we were easily killing it then hit the 1 hour mark after being claimed and went nuts. 1116 dmg per hit, hurricane wing was 50% of everyones hp with stoneskin on. We escaped came back raised who was dead and killed him in about 35-40 minutes.

Edit: After 1 hour it also Resisted Flash and just about every debuff.

Diddn't do anything at all.. Still same old crappy faffy :3

[NynJa]

just killed fafnir...


1-claimed it with JP's around
2-was doing normal damage to it, and it was doing normal damage to us. when it was at 5%, it crit our mnk for 475...that seems standard, no ??

How long did u take to kill it?

shit man...idk
50 min ?

Tough to say, I was afk playing Tales of Symphonia over all the windows (BLM + laggy computer = impossible to claim shit)



just asked my pld and he said ~35 min o.0

[Zumi]

Lost to serket first time ever today he started doing 800 a hit.

The new NM system you only have a limited amount of time before they get stronger. But NMs like Fafnir you get more time to kill.

[NynJa]

Rofl then people must not use mrargus on your server Nynja, now all you have to do is add a /wait time to your pull macro when mrargus starts spamming, its good they made these harder and at least they're trying to fix bots but failed.

May I ask what have you claimed since the patch since you know how to bypass this...

[Lasitha]

it seems to only get strong after the 1 hr mark, but other lesser NM's such as serket go crazy in less time. Depending on the importance SE gave to the NM's I guess.

Simurgh at 20 minutes. He gradually increased in damage after 10-15min I think, going from 120 hits to 200ish, 300ish, 400ish, and capping at around 560. Gil sellers on Bismarck got owned by him, lol.

20 minutes? No wonder, we can take down roc in... what, 5-7 minutes, 10 tops ?

With only a WAR and a THF killing it? wow

The whole point of this update is to stop people killing these with minimal numbers. If you've read any of the past interviews you'll know how "distressed" Square are over what a joke Behemoth, Serket etc have become now. I guess this is what they felt was the best solution to make them real HNM's again.

Before this patch, If I could claim Serket I could solo him. Now I don't know about you but I don't feel any one person should be able to make 10-15mil in an hour even in this fucked up economy.

[Pete]

so with the new claim system (*having a short wait period for claim...)

are you guys having as much trouble claiming in the first place as before at least?

or would you consider it equal now?

OR too early to tell

I'm disappointed that I'll never get a chance to solo serket. I could care less about the drops.

I guess there's always Alkyoneus.

I saw fafnir pop yellow and had time to whip out my knuckles before one of the LS's there (Galleon much respect >.>b).. All this while their was JP + well known botters around... If only I wasn't on my level 1 mule ._.

[Roranora]

It seems: King Arthro/Serket/Simurgh/Roc all have 10 minutes from initial claim to be killed before level growth occurs, Ada/Aspi/Behe/KB have 30 minutes and Fafnir/Nidhogg 60 minutes. Just my guesses/opinions from what I've seen so far today.

Ada/Aspi/Behe/KB should be on par with Faf/Nid though, since they're basically the same level.

[Wulf]

ashen thats like saying simurgh or roc should be as easy as a robber crab in boyahda, since they are both the same level...

Bad comparison since robber crabs are normal mobs, whereas those are [H]NMs >.>

[Lancear]

NQ Behemoth is hitting for ~900 to 1000 per hit on Midgard.

I was there the whole time. Hardest I saw Behemoth hit for was 160 on a thief and about 60-120 on a pld. Although, I'm sure I saw him one shot a rdm or two.>.>;;

Funniest thing I've seen in a llllllooooooooooonnnnnnnnnggggggggg ass time.

[Demosthenes11]

I think aspi and KB are most like 60 minutes as well...
