Dynamis-Buburimu experience

[Nikko]

we saw him use charm, and did no tkill that NM.. so that makes sense as well.

[Demetrios]

There are 4 Orc NMs, 4 Yagudo NMs, 3 Goblin NMs, and 4 Quadav NMs in the .dat file. That would be 15, one for each job and two hour.

[Lockecole]

SE's clever.

[senseless]

i think the more important 2hr's to remove would be benediction, mijin, and hundred fists, possibly blood weapon also cuz him healing himself 1k per hit on someone would suck also lol. It would be neat to see this all true though, disabling 2hrs and special moves by killing other NMs/dragons in zone though

[Lui]

Let's list the dragons

Vishap was south of Onzozo beach, and seemed he had the poisonga breath.
The dragon on the beach just west of Mhaura had the Graviga.
Jirka (some J name) is north of Onzozo on the beach, though don't know his ability.
There was a complicated A name we fought as well, Atravias or something like that.

[6souls]

Stollenwurm: Ability; Lodesong (AoE Gravity)
Stini: Ability; Flame Breath (directional fire damage)
Tarasca: Ability; Heavy Stomp (AoE dmg & Paralyze)
Basilic:
Alklha:
Barong:
Aitvaras: Ability; Voidsong (AoE Dispels ALL buffs, uses every 5-20s).
Apocalyptic Beast: Ability; all job's 2hr's, All -ga spells, Poison Breath, Curse move, etc.

[radav]

We killed only 2 dragons before our attempt on Apocalyptic Beast.

One was Tarasca(Might not be exact spelling.) who roams along the stretch of road that runs north where there's a large clumb of goblin statues. This one spams the jumping TP move. I can't remember the name right now.

The other was Sihti who roams along the north edge of the road starting where it forks east and west. He was super weak and did the Fiery Breath move.

Also there's a dragon that roams on the beach near the bibiki entrance. Not sure of the name. Also this is the area where we find the ??? to unlock subjobs. It may just be luck but we've found it there both times we've done this zone.

There's another dragon as well who roams in an empty area South of the Buburimu Outpost. Again not sure of the name just putting these here in case someone wants to know where all dragons are.

[Lui]

yes thank you. There are 9 lesser dragons and AB makes 10. Trying to compile the information on my LJ to get a rough map going.

[Sykes]

I think that we've already identified the most important dragons ... Aitvaras and Tarasca (and maybe Stollenwurm and whatever one does Chaos Blade).

I think that the next step is to identify what beastmen NMs are what jobs. I identified a few in my earlier post ...

Gosspix Blabberlips - RDM
Woodnix Shrillwhistle - BST
Shamblix Rottenheart - DRK

... hopefully someone in the pulling group from my LS can accurately describe their locations, but obviously they're from the goblin statues in the middle of the map (mainly just west and north of the zone start).

I think that the most important NMs to identify will be WHM (we were ok until it used Benediction for 27-something thousand HP), NIN, and SMN ... and perhaps to a lesser extent DRK, RDM (how bad is his chainspell?), and MNK.

[Lui]

well yes, but I was hoping to get all the information so people can pick and choose, I've been looking for NM information and dragon information as well.

SMN - Baa Dava the Bibliophage (+ Baa's Avatar)
BRD - Ree Nata the Melomaniac
SAM - Koo Rahi the Levinblade
NIN - Doo Peku the Fleetfoot

Those are the yagudos (from Faranim). I have screenshots at home of some of the quadav NM's. I know i encountered thief, but isn't there a way to check dat file or something to get the rest of the names?

[Sykes]

Ya, I'm hoping that someone can at least tell us the names of the rest of the NMs (I never did bother figuring out how to get monster info from the dats) ... unfortunately, their jobs are not in the dats, so we can only know that from actually seeing them unless their names make their jobs obvious.

[Ichthyos]

From my LS's run last week:

Va'Rhu Bodysnather (Quadav) - Thief
Gi'Bhe Fleshfeaster (Quadav) - WHM? (Didn't see Benediction but it was casting WHM spells)

[Lui]

Thanks Ich.. I guess I'm focusing on mapping this one out first cause I've already been in there once, and it looks like the easiest to figure out. (Kudos to everyone). Once I am comfortable with the information i have on this I'll move towards Valkurm and Qufim. we fought all the quadav NM's on Sunday but I forgot to write down their names, figured they weren't important

[BRP]

Judging by the jobs they usually have, you can expect something like this(not fact) :

Yagudo - SAM NIN BRD SMN
Orc - RNG DRG MNK (BLM?)
Quadav - THF WHM DRK (PLD?)
Goblin - BST (RDM?) (WAR?)

RDM can be Quad or Gob. PLD could be Orc or Quad. WAR could be Orc or Quad or Gob. BLM could be Orc or Quad.

[Ichthyos]

Np, Lui. Good job on the compilation so far. I was starting to do the same for my own LS (for the same reason) but then I found the post on your LJ, heh.

Oh, and one other thing: one of the Orc NMs is named Hamfist Gukhbuk but we didn't get to fight it before time ran out.

[Lui]

sounds like MNK NM - whereabouts were the orc statues? I'm assuming they are on the path somewhere.

I think this is correct setup based on my research so far
Orc: PLD RNG DRG MNK
Quadav: WAR BLM WHM THF
Yagudo: SAM SMN NIN BRD
Goblin: RDM BST DRK

[Sykes]

The orc statues are along the path towards the Outpost in the west. There is actually a rather large concentration of them right at the Outpost.

I think you're pretty close if not right on with your list of jobs by beastmen type. On our first run on Wednesday, we popped all the orcs. We vaguely recall PLD and MNK NMs among the orcs. I had parser running during the run, so when I get home, I'll try searching for 2-hours.

[Sykes]

I found these while reviewing my logs of our Wednesday runs ...

21:36:10 Lyncean Juwgneg uses Ranged Attack, but misses Sykes.
21:48:44 Flamecaller Zoeqdoq starts casting Poisonga II.

so

RNG - Lyncean Juwgneg - Orc (in the middle of the road towards Outpost)
BLM - Flamecaller Zoeqdoq - Orc (at Outpost)

or at least I'm fairly certain that those are the jobs based on what has been confirmed elsewhere.

[Lockecole]

Ehh..NINJA edit..I read above post.

[zymurgy]

MNK and BLM 2 hours didn't really pose too much of a problem when we did AB since the PLDs did an exceptional job of running it. Same goes for any other of the type, such as DRK or WAR. The main concerns IMO are whm nin and smn, and in terms of dragon mobs, heavy stomp, voidsong, and lodesong. Unfortunately, since the beastmen NMs are so spread out, it's unlikely that we'd be able to kill all the correct mobs with enough time left over to take down AB.

A nice theory floating around our LS (DynamisBums) right now is to just bruise it a bit and run it until it uses benediction, and then emply a DL type strategy to take it down before it uses benediction again. I didn't get a chance to write down the order in which AB used the 2hrs but from what I recall, there did seem to be an order. It would make more sense at least, than just a random 2 hour whenever.



Hey, what's up eddie
