CA efflux whirl then sleep and whisker should kill pretty much everything.

Does anyone know a good strat to solo/duobox MKD final fight? Have RDM/WHM/BLM on alt. Almace on main as well.

Can't seem to ever find anyone to do the fight and I know it's easy as hell with a group of 4 to 6.

At 100% TP you heal 50% back, idk about you; but I cant think of needing to heal back more than 1600 at a given time.

True true and if I used a TP bonus off hand as well that be insane heals anyway lol. Okay I think I am sold on finishing my TP Bonus +2 off hand now lol.

@Atoreis

I thought I had seen a video, thought I dreamed it or something! Thanks for the reply.

**Aemora** · 2011-07-22 11:32

Looking at that video, and other peoples comments in this thread is making me serious wonder if I know what the fuck I'm doing with my Almace. Sure, I can cleave and shit, being a mage since I first started this game that shit is easy to do, but my Chant du Cygne's come no-where near anything you guys are serving up, nor do my spells equate to as much damage as that video is pumping out. At best, I'm averaging 2.5k CdCs within Abyssea (occasional spike to 4k and the such). I cannot get my attack anywhere near 900 (as someone in this thread stated), but hovering around the 500 mark. I'm more than open to having people mock me for my terrible damage output and the like, and would love for someone to play the "you're doing it wrong" card and tell me how to gear for CdC better than I currently have.

Code:

<set name="Chant du Cygne">
			<head>Deceit Mask</head>
			<neck>Light Gorget</neck>
			<rear>Brutal Earring</rear>
			<lear>Suppanomimi</lear>
			<body>Loki's Kaftan</body>
			<hands>Enkidu's Mittens</hands>
			<rring>Thundersoul Ring</rring>
			<lring>Rajas Ring</lring>
			<back>Atheling Mantle</back>
			<waist>Cuchulain's Belt</waist>
			<legs>Tumbler Trunks</legs>
			<feet>Lithe Boots</feet>
</set>

Please tell me where I'm going wrong :/ I know I need Aias Bonnet and probably some better gloves, but what better gloves? How should you gear for CdC, and what is the best gear you could get? What is the best Atma combination for CdC or BLU melee in general (usually go with VV/RR/Apoc)?

That would be your major problem. For sword damage, you want to use either Alpha&Omega (best but has -HP), Sanguine Scythe (second best), or Gnarled Horn (only slightly behind) in place of VV. GH versus SS mostly comes down to +HP versus Subtle Blow (from the AGI), or boosting Benthic if you cast that a lot.

Gear changes aren't going to be particularly drastic. Besides Aias, Epona's (over Rajas inside, Thundersoul outside), Aesir Earring (unless you think you need the accuracy), Alcide's Mitts +1, Thunder Sachet, and Rancor Collar would be upgrades.

Does anyone think MKD final fight can be zerged with Azure Lore now?

Those mobs in that fight take two to three fold damage. So divide his dmg by 2 or 3 and that's kinda the numbers he'd be hitting a different situation.

**dasva** · 2011-07-22 13:18

Part of the difference is you only have 1 crit rate atma. The amazing dmg from CDC comes from critting even more so at only 500 att. And you are only hovering around 70% crit rate and only like +35% to crit dmg hence why your spikes are almost double your normal. Need more +crit rate to up your consistency. Personally my best dmg has always been RR, SS, GH.

Aside from already stated gear improvements there is always att augmented jupiter rings. MKE hat. Alcd. Leggings +1. Also looks like you need to be eatting attack food. Or better attack food. Setting things like double attack and attack bonus traits and downing stalwarts like it's no tomorrow also help. And triumphant roar when stalwarts is down

Like stated above, Crit atmas ftw. I tend to use RR/SS/Apoc. Also opposite brutal i use a Light earring Aug. Crit hit rate +1. Don't have Aesir yet (probably wont get it.)

**kenshyn** · 2011-07-22 13:56

A fun alternative I use is RR/OMNI/SS +100 dex does boost cdc a bit. Also works well if /thf and Vanity dive for quite a kick.

**macross** · 2011-07-22 17:49

I usually jump on monk or war if i'm gonna set full on 3x melee atmas.

**Clash Perez** · 2011-07-22 18:45

Dropping Apoc from any combination of atma may help you with consistently high numbers, but it's going to significantly lower your TP gain and overall DPS.

If you're there to do actual damage rather than just masturbate over your WS numbers, stick with Apoc.

**dasva** · 2011-07-22 19:15

Depends on the situation. During most cruor pts I spend some time waiting on other group so I can get tp from VV and then just almost one shot my mob after they done with theres so the tp to ws ratio is a bit skewed there

What do you mean? If you mean zerg the final form down very fast, than yes. If you mean enter > zerg him down in first form , then no. He become invincible at 50% or whenever he runs off to heal, can't harm it past that point.

**kenshyn** · 2011-07-22 22:48

I hear masturbation is great for stress relief its a fracking game lol...

Uh, what?

**kenshyn** · 2011-07-23 06:31

Read the silly comment 3 above mine lol in a game where everyone and his mom is doing 3 - 6k ws not much time to dot any more. How many swings do you get when most big things die in 2 - 5 minutes. Long fights dot rules short fights not so much.
