Assault Info Compilation

[macbain24]

the brittle rocks resist poison 100% the rest of the dot spells work though

[Coren]

We killed all 10 qiqirn for 1 mine, bashed down 3 walls, and ran out of time on the last wall when it was at 50%. With good gear, 2 mnk 2hrs, and everything else, bad luck still comes into play...

That being said, are the bomb mobs of any use? Can you have them self destruct next to a wall or anything?

[Xerlic]

Yes you can. We lost a mine cuz the person who used it on the second wall didn't realize that he had to stay engaged as it was his first time doing the assault. So we lost the mine.

Someone suggested using a bomb to self-destruct, so we brought it as close to the wall as possible and it blew up the wall. We tried again on a different run and it didn't work, though, since I guess the bomb was too far away. The bomb has to be as close as you can possibly maneuver it to the wall to get it to blow the wall down.

This was tried alot at the beginning with no luck.

I've done this once, got to 4/5 but ran out of mines. We got the last wall to like 60% when time expried (gogo 100 fists and chainspell aero1)

As for aga's - thundaga3 does like 8 dmg instead of 2 so our BLM insisted to waste all his mana on that for the first wall so we had no MP to MB-smash the turtle people.

[NynJa]

I haaaaaaaaaaaaate blm's who fucking use aga3 when you actually need to be smart with your MP.

[Suci]

tga3 for 8 lol. t2 for me does 19-20.

Sometimes I wonder if BLMs would be better in chaining EXP parties if they could figure this shit out...

Bring all of your haste gear if you're a melee. Attack/acc mean shit vs. rocks. Not sure if warriors/mnks hit for more than 1-3 but I sure as hell didn't.

I'm curious if a pick-type axe would get a damage bonus.

DRK/NIN SE Dagger/Dagger?

[BlackSkye]

MNK hits for 1-3... if you have no BRD playing minuets it sorta looks like this-> 30-40% do 1, 40-50% do 2, 10-30% do 3.

With a BRD playing Min3, and March it looks like this-> 10-20% do 1, 40-50% do 2, and 30-40% do 3.

Attack definantly helps destroying the walls.

[layoneil]

we got a lot of 0s when we did 2 x March instead of Minuet + March.

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but bringing a THF for Lebros really helps with the mine drop rates. I went 1/6 twice and then someone came THF and we went 4/4 and finished with a lot of time to spare. I guess I could have gotten lucky but the other THFs I've talked to all say "lol Lebros is easy!"

I feel the same and i'm a THF lol. Worst drop rate I've ever had in there was 4/6. TH4 ftw. first time i went i was 6/6 on drops (lost two because i didn't know you had to engage)

[aurik]

I was hitting for 2-4 with double march, meat food. Critting up to 7. Asuran for 25-32. We even got darkness to do 1 dmg.

that's cause you're a MNK, we didn't have any MNKs.

i think jobs were NIN THF DRK SAM RDM BRD.

[BRP]

Thundaga III should do roughly 20 to 30 damage. Not worth it of course. Spamming tier 1 and 2 while keeping elemental debuffs on is what BLMs should do.

I wasn't sure whether we just got lucky, but fwiw I've experienced the same thing. I cleared this going 4/5 on mines (TH4), then later played a friend's MNK to try to help LS members clear it. We went 2/8 or something on mines. The next day I went on THF and we got enough mines to win again. /shrug

[Dezzimal]

Stuck on mamool ja at the moment. 0/5 on it, going to try again in a bit. Last time our first gate fell with 30 seconds on the clock.

What gives? Do I just need to get lucky like with lebros?

Not really. You kinda have to get really unlucky to lose. Stand in front of the gate, pull mobs with weapons, if their weapon disappears kill ASAP, pull other mobs with weapons, repeat. If you run out of mobs pull from the entrance area. I'm 4/4, we've had streaks where 4 weapon mobs in a row had their weapon disappear but we still come out winning. Are you sure you're positioning it correctly in front of the door and always pulling mobs with weapons if possible and leaving other mobs alone if possible?

We're only going with 4 people at the moment. Just me for DD on NIN. WHM, BRD and PLD spamming tp to the mob though.

Just to be clear: moving to the side does not help correct?

We always try it anyway, but a lot of times are tank is late and it still hits the door. So /shrug
