Trying to beat Kirin in under 10minutes, any tips?

[Stellar]

We tried this with 2 whm's and mp was a problem and also melee going down to back to back whirlwind/sandstorm moves.. which he seemed to looove to do back to back.. Each one would do 500-900 damage, almost always two shotting me as ninja. Damage was insane though as a kikoku/unji ninja with 21% haste, +22 acc + march/mad/min/min.. Hit a few 200+ crits..

Any way to lower damage on those whirlwind TP moves? We would try to voke off of eachother after it, but sometimes if a melee just WS or something it was tough to pull hate..

First, definately need more than two WHMs. I don't really think that it can be done safely without at least 3 or 4 of them, and they have to have refresh. Occasional curing from others with MP (BRD, RDM, BLM, etc) helps as well to ease up pressure on them.

Sandstorm/Whirlwind are always a bit of a problem.. Having a WHM in PT with us with capped Shellra V + Barspell merits helped to cut the damage by a lot, just having her alternate Baraero and Barstonra.

For the most part she kept Baraero up, and ran in for Barstonra when it began to cast -ga. You can kind of alternate the barspells based on what he is spamming as well, normally if he does two Whirlwinds in a row he'll follow with like five more... He seems to sort of spam the TP moves in groups.

I also personally brought a set of magic defense gear, and just macroed it in for any time he went on a Whirlwind/Sandstorm/Heat breath TP attack spree on me. It definately saved my life a few times, and allowed me to solo straight tank it and survive ok during a few partial wipes. It's worth taking it with you if you can.

I just think of the good old days when beating kirin in under ten minutes meant just grabbing a few more rangers

[RKenshin]

I miss that too.

I just think of the good old days... like yesterday... when beating kirin in under ten minutes meant just grabbing Rukenshin

Fixed.

So is sandstorm earth or wind based? I was assuming earth based with the name, so baraera would hopefully lower damage on one of the two attacks? Seems better to keep barstonra up if thats the case. If they are both wind based, than baraera would make alot more sense...

[RKenshin]

Pretty sure that:

Whirlwind = Wind, needs Baraero.

Sandstorm = Earth, needs Barstonra.

And Epical's erection is permanent.

I meet your 8 min 24 sec and raise you a 3 min 28 sec kill tonight ^_^

That was total pwnge LOL. To think this took hrs long ago.

[Krandor]

Full 2hour spammage could do it.

I think BTL said they got Kirin to 50% in 1 minute with warriors and Bards all 2houring?

Edit: Post calling this bullshit got deleted lol

[Sylvana]

LOL yea Krandor we were on the same boat we got it to like 35% with 2 hrs in like the 1st min then 2hr + heat breath knocked out a few wars, including my rng so we could have cracked 2 min ish i think if not for that. I had pt lead and couldnt swap the dead bodies ; ;

[Belmoth]

Was soooooooooooo much fun, need to try that again ASAP.

I give you a congratz for a 3minute kill. However, I was disappointed with Kirin I was hoping for ONE Stonega IV through the whole vid but nothing =\.

I wish people would drop their rezolutions down to 640x480 before recording and uploading on youtube. Nice accomplishment but honestly I couldnt see shit in the HP meters or damage in the logs.

That's exactly what I expected "macros" to be like for a DRK lol

Very nice kill though, I always wanted to do that but people were too chicken.

I would very much interested in trying this I have about 3-4 war/nin's and 3-4 mnk/nin's who can show up. Only 1 ridill war, however the other wars stack up very decently. Any other job is pretty much available to us.

first PT setup would prolly be 2x Brd/whm, 3x War/nin 1X whm.

What would everyone suggest for the additional PT"s, most members in my LS have multiple jobs and normally can get a turn out of 20-30 members, our bigest limitation would probably be Brds we will prolly only have 3x available.


Thanks in advance
