/sigh, overcrowded mire

[Reynard]

i went to the Lamia Idolator camp described here yesterday.

Our setup was rdm whm cor mnk nin blu. It was a linkshell party designed to check this place out, so perhaps not an ideal setup (but certainly not an awful 6 man lineup), but our experience there made us wonder if this place is worth the trouble. I came here to BG hoping people that have had good parties there could fill me in on tips and tricks and what sort of setup i would want to make this place worth going to. I think we didnt have enough damage outright, and thus lost the chain after 5 almost always, and the low base xp, high lamia hp, and unsleepability made a few of my friends vow to never return. They did like the epeen ws numbers they were putting up though. And since its likely empty all the time compared to the main imp camp, i WANT it to be good.

So there is a definite lack of imps here, really just 1 or 2 of them, and a few more would definitely make this place better. Lamia are squishy and take big damage from WS, but they seemed to take a while to whittle away at. Maybe if we had more mnks as main damage it would have worked better? i was diaing and silencing them, the cor was doing acc rolls yet the melee were still complaining of acc issues (and they were geared well, especially our nin). Yeah they were all VTs pretty much, but the xp chains just didnt add up like the other mire camp does. we were all pretty bummed. There are also some skeletons on one side we could have pulled, and the low xp doomtoads are there too. Something just wasnt right. And we had a bad case of blood aggro and linkage at the wrong moment, and trying to rasie after that was very difficult.

any advice? I want to like this place, but....

5 bucks says you didnt setup a SC.

Qutrub only work as TP burn if you setup a small SC between yourselves, even if it's jin>asuran or whatever, make fusion / light and watch them numbers go up.

5 bucks for wafik. They didnt make SCing a priority. Im just the rdm, but i was trying to encourage them to SC more, and they did chain everynow and then ofcourse and i remember atleast once one of the melees commenting on it. I had invited a sam before the blu thinking sc madness was the way to go here. But hell i dunno, i filter damage. But these guys need to like, implode on SC or something. The base xp seemed lower than imps and flies, but maybe it was just me. What would you say is an ideal setup for here then? I'm not sure I can get Kltani to go back here ever, but i want to believe....

Qutrub die sick fast when you run a small SC. It's easy to do, you just need members with more intelligence than a rock.

Bhafthickets or main mire is probably always going to be better xp, but qutrubs are fun and virtually always open.

Edit: my pt of choice for dvucca is mnk war nin brd rdm whm. asuran, jin, and rampage all chain very very nicely together.

What is the resist rate on darkness for Qutrubs? I have never fought them outside of besieged so I'm also sort of curious about how much acc you need to hit them for around 80% acc.

Darkness kinda sucks on them, resist wise. Tachi: Kasha > Spinning Slash = Light tears them in half though.

And yeah, there are no Qutrub THFs. The evasive ones are DRKs, and they won't be an issue if you have decent gear.

[aurik]

Triple-attacking evasive as fuck qutrubs? Whatever job they are. They act like thfs.
