    Dynamis Lord vs # of people

    We're considering adding a sort of limit to the number of people we'll actually take to fight the Dynamis Lord in my dynamis LS. Err... what i mean by that is, if on any given week that we do Dynamis Xarcabard, if we have less than a certain number of people, attendance wise, than we'll just farm, if we have more than a certain number of people than we'll go for the DL. We've killed the DL twice now, out of 4 attempts. Our first attempt we had i believe 60, wiped at 20%... still pretty damn good for a first attempt. Second attempt we had I 55, and won. Third attempt was a wipe with 43, and this past week was a win with 50. Actually, i think we probably could have won the time we had only 43, we just got unlucky with an oblivion smash getting through the cs+stun...

    Anyway I ask because we're still getting used to the fight, and exactly what it takes to win. What have your experiences been? Do you think theres a "safe" number of people to have? Or just certain numbers of the "critical" jobs?

    I still havent done DL..boo hoo

    but like with everything else in this game, its not a matter of how many people you have, but how many of the right job.

    Spirits Within accounts for a significant chunk, Nynja; even if you just have mostly melee who can only contribute that, it's still doable. We just had our second DL win last night and our LS has a rule that the first 64 people on the LS and at the trail markings go, regardless of job or long that member has been around. We had one BLM, one RNG, and one PLD who weren't able to enter. We didn't have as many of the ideal damage dealers as our last win but it almost died from the initial Spirits+Regain Feathers, lol.

    Anywho, Brennon.. I think once you break 50, assuming you just have a balanced assortment of jobs, it should be safe to try. Even 40 people with 8 of them BLMs and 6 of them RNGs (arbitrary good numbers for us), you're probably still running some risks.

    By the way, how have your drops been? We're 2/2 Mantle, 0/2 Ring. '-'

    8 kills, 2 mantles, 1 ring. Lowest we've done it with is 47, average 50. 50 is a good number I think, with that we're able to do it in under a minute but, I think given the right jobs and right strategy you can kill him in a minute-minute half with 40.

    Drops that I can remember off the top of my head that drop from HNM that SMN need now:




    ...



    uh...


    shit, I forgot.



    There's nothing anymore. Let the damn SMNers lot the stupid mantle.

    The only things that are useful to them outside of that are two pieces, at most, of their AF2.

    I was being sarcastic? Remember the thread where the SMN lotted and won Shadow mantle? Yeah.
