Good Snoll tactic?

[Dezzimal]

The nerf didn't affect it that bad. I beat my snoll after the rng nerf, and the sam/rng in my group easily did 25-35% of all damage, didn't even have time to finish all 5 of his sidewinder before he died from hate.

That was also the problem before the nerf. Without someone to heal you, you were pretty much dead after the 4th sidewinder. (700 dmg x4 if nothing missed)

Best thing is when the bomb use Berserk at the start, you can do 2000dmg sidewinder on Sam/war

PLD makes a huge difference on this and are sooooo underestimated. If they used Invicible with a WS, they could hold it as you finish it off quick. I lost this a few times, hardest out of all the CoP missions for me, but I won it easily with a PLD.

My last few attempt with PLD, they always lost hate after the 2nd sidewinder (5 sec in the battle). I would hardly call them useful for this one.

Except SAM/WAR doesn't get sidewinder.

PLD makes a good salt bitch. If they can: sub samurai and meditate to 300% TP for spirits within and bring an icarus wing along.

You want a medal or something for finding that mistake? I obviously didn't meant Sam/War...

Its hard to tell on these forums sometimes.

IMO WAR/SAM and such are the kings of this BC.

Not that hard if you use common sense.



[Edit]
Reality, how much TP did you had? Waited 15 minutes for 300tp? Only time I went War/sam, my dmg were crap (well, 900->700 or something like that) . Can't say I had the best level cap Gear on war however.

[Reality]

the BC is 30 minutes, the battle takes about 45 seconds if you're good enough

so you have plenty of time to mash meditate for a bit before you engage (yes, I stored TP to 300% for the first RR, the next was only 100-113%)

Yeah, I know you can wait pretty long, I just think it's a waste of time unless the rest of your party really suck and you need every bit of dmg you can get. I've done the BC 11 times and won 10 times, I've trouble understanding how people can wipe multiple time, unless their job selection is very limited.'

My mini-static had this selection of jobs:

1 - THF
2 - BLM
3 - RNG NIN (no sam sub)
4 - RDM WHM BLM SMN
5 - BLM WHM RDM

6th member wasn't really in "the static" which is a term we used loosely. He came BLM. Basically THF did spirits within at the start from sam sub then perfect dodge and salt.

How we'd lose - first job there is the job that person came. RDM dies first since they wouldn't rebuff with chainspell active, claimed it was valuable time spent nuking, can't nuke if you're dead dumbass. BLMs always got spanked hard too by AoE.

Hello, I'm a first time poster and trying to find out some info. I'm 0/3 on Snoll First time the group sucked second time I had same setup. RDM RDM SAM BLM PLD SMN with 2 salts third was same. Everyone is telling me I should of won that it must of been mages anyway I static with RDM friend so having a SAM and RDM is unavoidable but what are other good jobs to fill up other slots? and how many salts would I need for setup?

If you drop any of those jobs drop the smn. With that setup, only the smn should use salt.

pld invincible, everyone else use 2hrs and do damage. As everyone else mentioned rdm and sam are great damage in this bc.

[royze]

kings of this bc are mnks...

try mnk/sam or mnk/war

spam raging fists..i hit so hard with capped merits at that time...i wanna do it again i wish there was an enm like that...

maybe there is but i dunno

[Rayden]

My group is getting ready to do this. Does the timer begin on him as soon as you enter the bc? Or does it start once someone aggros it?

It's on aggro.

tyvm

[umer]

would the following set-up work?

nin, sam, blm, blm, blm, rdm? rdm for healing when needed.

expect the NIN to die fast if he isn't careful. Hate will be very shaky with that setup as well

[umer]

mmm ninja has the +10 enmity earring plus other stuff might help a little though i was wondering if it could work like this all 3 blms es and flare on start as burst off the sams self detonation ( can they do that?) and right after everyone 2hrs and zergs the hell outta it. ( nin uses salt at start for flare).

[Lasitha]

My group went with 2 smns, 2 rdms, war and brd. 3 salts. Easy easy win.

WAR Meditated to 300 tp once inside, he used salt and then Raging Rush with Mighty Strikes for 1400 dmg to stablish hate, BRD put fire threnody on it and the SMNs alrdy had Inferno going off by the time threnody was on. Each did 950~

At this point, the 2 smns used their salts, and the WAR had used Icarus Wing for another Raging Rush for about 1000 dmg. RDM chainspelled from the moment WAR did Raging Rush first and were landing constant nukes for 250 dmg.

Summoners didn't get their second BP off, it was alrdy dead.

=/ Too bad we came up with this setup after our 5th lose.

Why does it say you're in the zone: The Eldieme (255)

[Lasitha]

I have no idea, but I think it is related to not having updating the sig since 6 days ago.

[Hirronimus]

The summoning megic bot prolly fucked up read out of data.
