Dynamis Xarc Strat

[Kaylia]

Our LS farm Xarc with 18 people all the time (2-3 blm). For the eyes at NM tower, we have someone suicide pull all 3 , and 3 tank grab an NM each. Nin can usually hold the NM solo with haste and elegy, and rest of alliance rape the weakest NM first. More than often, people just end up zerging all 3 NM with 3 party of 5-6people.

So yeah, that's 240/600xp suicide pull per tower, nothing dramatic (could give xp scroll to puller if is using rr2, otherwise, he can sucks it).

For the eyes tower, we do the same thing, but have 2 melee ready to grab both eyes that are already up since they are the only one you need to kill to pop the extension. An alliance should kill them fast enough to get the time extension before they come back.

I'm not going to say we never wiped, because shit happen once in a while, but the run are generally efficient without too many deaths.


-Nin sub for almost everyone (blm included)
-Sleepga II is a blm spell, and it should be used every time there is 3 demons or more.
- whm can solo hold the ninja NM, 2war/nin can hold an NM, you can ES+ bind them for 10sec, NM are stunable. Send 2 tank on thf NM, it rapes people

we use a single rdm/nin to kite all 3 eyes at each tower usually. he even manages to dot 1-2 to death usually before we get around to killing them. if he dies they just go back to the tower sinc we pull the NMs out of his kite path, and we just kill them after :/

anyone can kite the NIN and RNG nms because they just ratk every time they get in range and since demon ratk is hecatomb wave it will just continually get out of ranged, the mob will never catch you.

We've been using the same strat for over a year on Xarc NMs. We've used this strategy with no problems even with a 25 person run.

a) Everyone stays at camp except THF, RDM+NIN, RDM+NIN, RDM+NIN.
b) THF pulls an eye and runs back to camp.
c) Each NIN vokes a separate NM, and their respective RDM partners gravity and bind it.
d) Once THF is at camp, everyone kills the eyes.
e) When all eyes are down, someone calls in linkshell "Bring in <name of nm>"
f) Repeat until all NMs are down.

This is really easy because the eyes go down really fast and the NMs are very susceptible to grav, and especially at night NINs have +movement speed from boots.

Bumpity bump, did xarc last night with 15, which diminished to 13 by the time the run ended.

First we hit 2 time extension statues using sac pulls, accidentally aggroed a bunch of shit and wiped. Hit the 3rd time extension behind Vahzl, then killed all 15 nms (war + rdm af), hit the 4th time extension in front of the eye wall, then farmed using sac pulls until time ran out. Basically, you can pull out single demons using 1 sac (we had 2 thfs that took turns) and 1-2 vokers, takes 5-10 minutes per nm with 2 melee pts so about 2hrs to take them all out.

Almost everyone was nin/ or /nin. Demon NMs have a shitload of defense and decent evasion, though, so bards are pretty much necessary for your TPburn parties, and use diaII/III for sure. Party setup was whm rdm brd nin thf DD, one pt had a monk and the other party had a blm, and the excess pt was thf+smn+brd. We used rdm/drk chainspell to defuse hundred fists, and the rest of the demons weren't that bad. Mijin from the ninja nm did about 1k which left 2-3 melee alive as well as a few mages who were out of range, enough to hold the nm until people could rr.

About 30 coins (2 each) so we didn't make our money back completely, but we got a rdm hat which is easily worth the million right there.

and the NMs are very susceptible to grav

You sure about this? I've never once been able to land gravity on a single Xarc NM with 337 skill + max merits / gear etc.. Maybe bad luck, after the first 5-6 times I resisted I never tried again that I can remember...

Our strat is actually similar, though I don't see the need for gravity or bind.. 3 nin, 3 rdm or whm, puller and a brd to elegy NM's.. These NM are not at all difficult for a nin to solo tank.. Alliance focus on the three eyes and rape them in 2-3 min, then do the NM's 1 by 1...

I'm actually not sure that they grav or bind lol, I just know a RDM supports the NIN for kiting, so I could only assume it was for gravity and bind, although it could just be for slow/haste/paralyze,etc.

[Scythiroth]

They can be bound, it does get resistted every once in a while, but with haste on, I can usually keep them bound immediately after it wears every time.

I think I have tried ES gravity and it didn't land, so I don't think that can land ever.

[Raineer]

Gravity resists 95%+ of the time on Xarc NM's.

Doesn't mean they are hard to hold at all, just worth noting it's not even worth the MP.

It's usually not worth trying if you have enough people to kite them normally.

What we do- and it's basically the same strategy if we are doing a DL run (35-40 people) or just farming the zone (25-30) is this

give people a minute or two to rest up, tanks will call out who they are going to tank/stall etc. I'll call out a time for an opening sync nuke. Blms will sync a SINGLE target eye, usually the far left eye. 3 blms can basically take it down to low, stun it, nuke again and it's dead.

The middle eye is targeted by RDMS. They won't kill it usually but they can take a chunk off and others can help them out.

THe far right eye is for rangers. A single barrage can sometimes kill one of these things.

Because the eyes can do all kinds of annoying things we've stopped treating them like statues and started treating them like mobs. They aren't like the statues in towns. They move fast and aren't as easy for a blm to kill. At this time for any large pull the main assist tanks call out the eyes first to get them out of the way, while the blms and rdms rather than nuke focus on keeping the demons asleep. Melees burn through the eyes extremely qucikly and our pulls (like the very first pull) now are very clean with almost no deaths.

[Sidanoir]

We usually solo tank the Demon NMs with a NIN ... I have done it on DRK/NIN also...just needs Slow II and Elegy + March then extremely easy to tank..

Im pretty sure gravity never lands..I remember trying ES on them a long time ago...bind does work

RNG/SAM/NIN nms which spam hecatomb wave can be held by any job smart enough to run out of range of hecatomb wave everytime
