Tiamat Fill in the blanks

[NynJa]

There's also the ever present Spike Flail. Additionally he can & will draw in people, so if the tanks get roared, terrorized a lot, and Tiamat starts turning, especially on the ground, /assist Tiamat and see who has hate if he doesn't draw them in. You should figure out what to do with that scenario.

You tell them "quick, try to stand behind it. If he cant see you, he cant attack you."

We've heard of another LS that uses two PLD/NINs to achieve roughly 1:30~ kill times which are very impressive. Don't really have any facts to back that up but I can imagine it is possible with good stuns.

hi

[Zigma]

i use 6 antlions and do it in under 45 go me

[Kirku]

Killed it in about 1 hour and 20min with pld/war and nin/war tanking it, trick is to let ninja get hate on the ground and let pld get hate in the air, works really well for us

it's sweet for what it can do, but it's a one trick pony. when that setup kills Jorm and Ouryu let me know.

and the WAR/WHM concept is brilliant, the same can probably be done with a PLD/WHM.

I thought the first bst wyrm kill was jorm?

Blaze Spikes - he casts this a lot, don't get it confused with Firaga III

Doesn't matter if you confuse it with firaga3 and try to stun it anyway since tiamat only casts one spell every 40+ seconds so even if you got confused your stun would still be up for the next tiamat cast.

ehhhhhhhhh...usually

If I mess up a stun I just silence to make damn sure she doesn't Firaga before i'm ready.

As for solo stunning, it can be done as long as you have little other responsibilities; I've never gotten that lucky, I'm always still asked to refresh 4 others and help cure. Luckily you lose your mind before you ever run out of MP or pull hate.

The JPs on our server (NC) use 2x PLD/NIN and a NIN/WAR for their tank party. Not sure if their still doing this, but this is how they originally were killing wyrms when they first popped. Hate was never an issue, very impressive watching them back then.

[Raineer]

2 PLD/WAR, 45-70 minute kills.

Hate > all

When I get the gear I want to try that, but yeah WAR/WHM as gimp as it sounds, think of how much hate a Provoke followed by a Curaga II is going to generate. Now If this WAR is aslo a PLD with some pieces of Koenig, that would be intresting. I know some JP shells tank Fafhogg with RDM/NIN and RDM/WAR. Now days anything is possible you just have to try it, but would you really want to experiment on a CoP Wyrm or a HQ land god?

This thread would be better if it was Tiamat mad libs.

Unless you are doing moves that risk flail, it's not really that much of a experiment is it? Tank dies, boot him and swap in a real one. I love trying different things, the only challenge with it is that sometimes it requires the alliance to buy into it more and make changes and adjustments. Which requires thinking....ya, easier to not do that.

I don't think the kind of tanks you are using has great effect on the speed of your Tiamat kill. I'm sure it can have a small factor, but really, how fast you kill is reliant upon how many smn, sam, x dmg dealers, and blm you have. cycling blm spaming and SC thunder4/thundaga 3 gets tiamat down really quickly. But as long as you get it done, and it's not a 2-4 hour ordeal, its np. tiamat isn't too difficult to hold either. Last time tiamat poped I claimed it with about 4-5 people and held for 30 till people got there with less than 7-8, right infront of an ls of like 50 people working out their first time strat, maybe crappy but got gaiters~

So we went down to Smelly Chasm only to find the ugly beast, Tiamat. We pulled it with 572 linkshell members in the zone. The fight started off at ludicrus speed, but got easier once the poopsocks got alot more hate. Our summoners were the main DD, as they kept calling out Dracula, master of the gay element. When night fell, Vin Diesel agroed our alliance, and caused us many problems. The fight lasted about 2 millenia, as the drugged up asshole beast finally was slain. We we all anxious to check the treasure, as much to our surprized it dropped a Flint Stone and a absolutely nothing. It was a great day for the roflcopter linkshell!
