Hydra being fought on Bismarck

[IAmAnonymous]

After taking a few hours to figure out how to do it on the first attempt, but let's not count that because you did the second attempt in 45mins.

You can tell, from the past few updates, SE is directing their attention to DDsONRY HNMs. They also have severely gimped BLM's capability with yesterday's patch. So, I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of the HNMs from now on HAVE with a lot of DDs.

Remember to include "Throw in SMNs."

DRK is the new SAM. Got any of them?

No.

A scout said "Hydra up, JP having trouble" so everybody came as w/e they were on at the time. 3 DRK/THF came and it did not go well. 3hr+ wipe. 2 DRKs changed to useful jobs (NIN, WAR) and other DRK stayed as DRK/THF. The NIN and WAR owned it, while the DRK/THF got in for title.

SA+TA+Spinning slash did 900-1100 dmg, while B: Jin did 400-600 and Rampage did 500-900. Two Ramage/Jin were going off to 1 Spinning Slash. If you gotta come DRK, I suggest ya come /NIN with ME/Ridill and save bag of tricks for last 10%.

Hate to say this has a cookie cutter set up on day one, but NIN, WAR, SAM/THF, BRD, RDM, WHM onry. =/

In Unicorn:

a certain LS takes it down to 88% for over 2:30-3:00hrs then completly wiped, then a JP LS takes it down from 100% to 28% in 1hr then regened back to 90% in less than 10mins before they teleport out lol.

In the end a JP LS with some friends engaged and killed in 1:42hrs and got a Hydra Fang only

You can see from the SS I was lagging really hard and somehow the drops didn't appear in my chat log!

yeah, you was an interesting fight to watch, too bad we werent there for nearly that long at all, and bonk warped out cuz it was late, they got it to 20 in no time at all, too bad it was what 4-5 am for them

[Stanislav]

our manaburning JP hre with like 2 melee.. 0 smn 1hr 80% down..
we had it at 4% wanted to reform and these asses took it
we know exaclty how to win now arg

I'd love to know if Absorb-TP does well on this one. Probably not because it resists magic a lot, but still i want to see it. This spell has great potential to balance DRK's slowness with getting TP.

[threevo]

i got resisted the one time i tried w/ 284 skill ;-;. hardly an ideal setup/merits

[Ohemgee]

Just need to cycle in a melee's, TP off the mobs near the ledge

[Tyche]

We just threw like 10 melee at it...2SAM, a few WAR, and a few MNKs. MNKs did meh...Drops to 15% in about 20min tho. Fucking outside healers kept getting hate and wiped us in the end.

Honestly, after getting Diabolic Eye, I'm going to merit Dark Magic. I have 301 without any dark magic merits or new dark magic gear since the patch. I'm betting after merits it will land pretty well on HNM.

SA+Gekko was doing like 800ish. His Flail move is targeted AoE from behind D:

How large AoE?

[ponskun]

Is there a recepie out for the use of fangs? Been searching and had no luck.

[Ryko]

2 Fangs, a Wamoura Silk, and a Wind crystal makes you hate SE

lol sorry bub, blms are still going strong from what I've seen.

Meanwhile,
anybody else notice in Jhun's screenshot the headless necks seem to be smoking? Could this be some clue to decapitating and keeping him headless? What's it look like when a head dies, and what's it look like when one comes back?

[Ryko]

It's like.... black smoke/blood that flows from the decapitated necks.

[BlackSkye]

SNAKEEYES FTW~!

Its like a L88-89 bonecraft recipe

Not large, maybe a proportional taco size.

Anyway, we wiped at 15% and LB reclaimed at 55% for the kill.

We didn't wipe you, without my leet summoner cures you would have died!

[Ambir]

The hydra gear is SAM/DRG so I guess it makes sense that it gets melleed ; ;
