Animated Shield Strategy Question

[Garret]

So are you saying the Shield can do Sleepga? Or that in addition to the ones I listed Scythe can as well?

When in doubt, carry Poison Potions anyway.

Seriously. Its like mages and echo drops.

Animated Shield is reallllly weak to Blunt by the way apparently.

Kraken DRK was doing 290-300ish a hit on him? Something like that anyways.

hay guyz, wutz souleater

Maxx already covered what I intended to say, there's obviously a blunt damage bonus on it. Not going to do 290-300 a hit without that.

It depends how many people show up. Killing with 50 people is easy. Killing with 30 means you probably want to know how to intimidate.

Actually, after DL, we had only 33 online when we killed Animated Kunai. We still just zerged it and beat it. I'm not 100% sure (because I don't have screenshots of the log), but we might have interrupted it while it was casting Warp. Not 100% positive though.

While this is true, it's still nice to know whether to expect Sleepga or not.

Last night, with our Knuckles, the only thing that went off when it started casting warp was a Mijin, and it interrupted it.

So hell if I know wtf keeps it interested.

Since it seems like the clock only starts ticking after it takes damage, would it be worth pulling with Burst II x10? Yes, I know it has a magic damage reduction, but I think you could knock off a chunk of his HP here, a chunk that would not count toward the time limit in any way.

[Garret]

I think a problem pulling with that would be hate on the Satellites linked to the pullers, in this case all your Blm.

Well that's how we won scythe, it seems to be the best bet.

Yeah, could do that, but if I remember correctly when we did it, nukes were insanely resisted (he has even higher resist on magic damage than the other other animated weapons, i.e. stats on Aegis).

EDIT: Nvm, Garret's right the Sattelites would be on the BLM's. Dunno if that's what you really want.

They're talking about the Animated Shield, not the Animated Septimus.

Elemental Sealed Burst 2 x 10, even if you threw in a spirit lantern, would do maybe 30 damage per nuke.. so 300 damage overall, or the equivlent of one swing of a kraken club for a DRK. Completely not worth it. And as already stated, you need to train away the satellites first.

[Roranora]

total derail, I know.. sorry in advance, but..

so quit trippin and go get some bitchs and get paid irl smoke weed 925 niggah yoc town you dont know about that hillside blood but way up on the hill tho teamjp owns your bitch asses fuck your ls

..where did I miss this... lol

[Grey Jorildyn]

Animated Shield can cast Sleepga and Phalanx among some other spells. Definitly takes a ton of damage from blunt for whatever reason. 4-5 MNK and 2-3 DRK w/Kraken should suffice for damage.

I don't think it would be hard to time casting so that a BRD could fire off lullaby right before all the nukes went off, and the lullabies would end up hitting the satellites right after the nukes went off, but before the BLMs were affected. By the time the satellites woke up again the tank would have hate, and shared hate would bring the satellites back onto the tank. Not like it would matter though, since they would just be slept again.

[Tekki]

Ive talked to Lordwafik about my Animated Sword run and spent a considerable amount of time reading up on it. First run we got to 10% with about 24 ppl. (@40% the sword Curaga'd the satellites. PLDs didnt invincible to start and didnt have it available when they woke. So I blame the loss on the rapage that ensued after they woke.) Second was 27% with about 25-26. (I dunno what the hell was up with this, he warped off super fast, like he would go 2-3 lines of uninterest all at once)

My question is this, can anyone CONFIRM that 300% stun WSs or Mijn stun warp? Or is it just random luck that people are stuning? We had 2 PLDs for the second run attempt to Flat blade w/ 300% but hate was pulled while he warped and we were out of range to even try. Mijin didnt seem to help either. If I could find some solid evidence or ideas to help a small group go the distance, thatd be great. 10% with 24 was pretty awesome. Now we just need some tweaks.

oh and btw, E-seal Sleepaga worked fine. They sleep like a baby until curaga goes off, then u need a soul-voice lullaby. (for the sword at least)
