As for which NM is tied to which TP move it should be easy to determine. Fairy Ring uses Miasmic Breath, Nant'ina uses Fragrant Breath. So I'm pretty sure each of those NMs should use one or the other of Putrid Breath and Vampiric Lash, no?

I'll make a SS log of our Tree fight the next time that we go. We're repeating all 3 CoP dynamis zones soon starting with Bubu this Wednesday.

Problem is they might actually fix something like this...instead of let's say, everything else that really need to be fixed.

I'll be happy when we figure out wtf is up with this zone... If it was buggy I would think it would get fixed. They seem to fix important bugs rather fast.

hi AV

hi steam cleaner

etc

You don't know how steam cleaner works? :/

I'm pretty sure he was referring to... ah, fuck it. I'm not going to bother.

Its been a longer than how long steam cleaner was broken since DynaValk was added...

But yeah I do remember that now...

Hehe... As always. BG, giving ideas to SE since 2005.

Well, we finally went back to Dynamis-Valkurm. I took a SS log of our Tree fight and didn't notice anything other than the usual Big Tree moves (like the trees outside of Tavnazia or outside Al Zahbi). I'll post the log once I edit and upload all the SSs.

[wunjo_on_ramuh]

I've made a post on my LJ on this complete with screenshot logs from the Tree, Nant'ina, and CC fights.

Here is a rar of the original screenshots that I used to make the ss logs in that entry:

We've tried the zone 4 times, first time we didn't know what we were doing. Last 3 times we have killed CC with ease. There is a theory I came across one day that no one really talks about but I think it is a HUGE factor in determining whether or not you can kill CC.

As long as CC has hate on someone within melee range, he will be timid and won't use the abilities of the NMs that you killed. However once he gets hate on someone (like a BLM) outside of melee range, all bets are off and he will spam.

In our runs we kill Fairy Ring and Nantina. In our last three victories he has not used his main poison attack or charmed us. We stick everyone within melee range, just keep the mages on his back.

Try this out, I really think it works.
