Cerberus after patch

[Epidemic]

Just killed on Fenrir. No different than when he's against the wall, you just have mages stand in the corner...no biggy, and I saw no stuns resist like some people were saying. BLMs tested out Burst II, and it did about 650 on the first and completely hit the dust after that, so I think his resistance builds VERY fast, and yes I know BLMs mostly suck on Cerberus but it was just a test

[Machazareel]

Just curious, if his melee dmg becomes 75% resistant at the last 25%, does his magical resistance dissapear?

Anyone tested it?

Haven't quite tested it per se, but there was once when one of our best blms (Palerider) landed a T-ga3 for 1101 on him, so that's actually entirely possible.

Umm below 25% was when both me and an LS member hit our top Rampages on him, (1290 & 1807) so he's definately not resistant to melee based off of HP percentage. It has to do with something else.

[Machazareel]

My comment was more directed to the theory of magic doing more when he went melee resistant. Probably should have been more clear.

Honestly, it was a long time ago, so I can't remember if it was when his physical def shot up or not. It seems logical, though. At the time I just figured it was because he owns. >_>

Someone's saying it might be based on game day.

This just in, Cerb takes damage based off the direction you face him.















































...and moon phase.

[Ryko]

Sarcasm aside, it's not like it'd be something you'd normally pay attention to, and there has to be some explanation to a basic halve in damage randomly, not that it especially matters.

[Secksi]

Fire weather? It's not exactly common up there, so it's possible you could miss it all together.

I know earth elementals pop at cerb, do fire?

[Ryko]

Yep

[Secksi]

Guess you probably wouldn't miss it then, I've only fought cerb a few times, but pretty sure I've never seen fire weather while fighting him.

I guess it could be a day/night thing too, another new common trend in ToAU areas.

[aers]

I've seen cerb's damage jump after a day change from fire to another day.

Killed him tonight, noticed no difference. AM2 was doing 500-600 on him. We had 5 SMN and their damage never started to get resisted.

Did they end up killing it =/? i was talking to a friend about this while they were doing it, how far did they get it down o.o?

[Noneko]

wiped at 20%, they were actually stunning everything almost perfect till then, only a matter of time till they kill it

[Ramuss]

=/

I swear wtf <.<; why cant our gil sellers just be stupid like some of the other servers =/, they make me wanna cry d:!

[Machazareel]

Usmell, Dontsteponme... gotta hand it to them, their names are far more entertaining that the ones on my server. <.<

[Ryko]

What, are you telling me you don't appreciate Ilovewingdings and Dingxiaoping?

[Devek]

The gilsellers had nothing but two ninjas and a buttload of black mages and still got it to 20%? (Given, thats only 1/5th of the fight).

Man.. I wish the BLM nerf was stronger than it was

[Nermal]

Man he popped again last night on Lakshimi. We got the first one after the patch, we wiped when one of our RDMs dced at 1%, and a lousy LS 2 hour zerged him to death. Yesterday one ls, which has the biggest trash talking leader of any, wiped twice failing to ever get him past 15%. Second time they wiped another group tried to claim, they wiped in about 1 minute flat, no way I would try and claim a 15% Cerebus, they couldn't get stun order in time, and gates spam ate them alive. Then another ls with a penchant for CFH claimed, they wiped but did manage to CFH on him. So everyone backs away, the ls that CFHed then claimed again, they did really, really good till about 5%, then they got overwhelmed and gates spam caught up to them. They ended up zerging him with 2% left and barely no one alive, chainspelling Thunderaga 3s from there BLMs for 0dmg. It was the most entertaining Cerebus I have ever seen. All three of those LS's make us look great on Cerebus. We do our best with 3 RDM/DRKs in stun order, they handle it great, and the rest of the people who can stun are just free stuns, until the last one we hadn't wiped since our first Cerebus, bad luck with dc at 1% sucks.
