Has anyone killed Tiger and got message?

[Judai]

i swear muninn was brown in ross chamber too, just didnt bother getting a screenshot. you're just color blind

hell no! it was pink! I pulled it both times and it was definately pink. If it had been brown I woulda been like wtf. I had only read about pink birds at that point.

[Mudweizer]

Siegrune's Chamber

15 Ghosts (think they were grouped as 5 and 10)
Buffalo Boss (uses some move that go through shadows and hate was random)
1 Bird(pink)-didnt pay attention to message or not, chest with temp items after killed.

We had 8 ghosts left after first wipe, decided to go for boss due to 10 mins left. BRD and RDM slept ghost with no problem, just peeps forgot poison pots and holy water and stuff like that(noobed it haha).

Sorry if this is a super repeat of info.

Beat Rossweisse's on our 3rd try. Woot.
TripBats and Buffalo Boss with Pink Crow dropping a crate.

Was odd, max people in, only about 10 or so bats pop, no other mobs and just the boss, we got really luckily on this run with only a few mobs to fight and kicked its ass.

you're too fast trixi

EDIT: But we did kill that pink bird early on while fighting bats, before boss.

[Sylvrdragon]

How did you beat the Marid boss?

[Ryko]

Yeah I'm wondering, was it chigoe one, and does it use PS a lot less or something?

[Judai]

It says Buffalo Meat/Hide in treasure so either they don't know the difference between a Marid and Buffalo or the Buffalo Boss is named Madrid?

edit: skimmed thread and the buffalo had some weird name so I think some people don't know the difference.

Marid: Spams Healing move Probiscus Shower.

Buffalo: Hate Reset and Knockback.

Did again last night

Took so long to gather together, wasn't in the mood to remember which we did lol

Think it may have been Grimsgerde.

Anyways, a few less ppl then last time, mostly blms... >_< which kinda sucked since we ended up with 15bats 15 skeles.

Had 4brds that kept getting killed when we pulled skele's, so that kinda went messy. Got pink bird and chest this time.

And stupid Wivre boss AGAIN. Though its not so bad, just stupidly high def. Only had about 8mins left to kill boss after things going a bit stupid with the skeles. Got it to 40-% before time out, everyone 2hrd that was able to.

[SephYuyX]

Err sorry guys, yeah I meant Buffalo, had madrid in mind for some reason.

He was very easy, though it did take a minute for everyone to realize that we all had to be infront of it and infront of a wall. We kept haveing mages pull hate and thusly moving the mob almost to the otherside of the room because of the pushback. Once we got it in a corner, he went down easy. Melee's owned it with constant 1k+ dmg on WSs.

[Deimos]

Have any linkshells cleared the first wing yet? Hypothetically the earliest someone could go into a Wing 2 zone would be this Thursday, so I'd imagine there's got to be some LS that's gone 3/3.

We're 2/3, but we've gotten pretty lucky on the mobs in general, I think.

[toonces]

Ok .. i read all the posts.. coulda missed it.. but has anybody tried to CHARM the bird/tiger that pop?

Charm has been attempted and failed. Anyone try to "steal" from the shit yet?

Somewhat different experience in Siegrune's Chamber last night.

Entered with 22 people. The Chamber contained 6 Infected Wamoura and a Manticore boss. The Tiger popped, and died with no chest or message. We timed out with the Manticore at 20%.

The Wamoura weren't particularly difficult, but had large mountains of HP. They were easily slept by BLMs.

After the 6 Wamoura were dead we were looking for a second wave or second type of mob to pull, but the only thing left was the Manticore. Most screenshots and accounts I've read have included 10+ mobs. Has anyone else had any experiences with small numbers of mobs before the boss?

On Friday went in with 30 to Rossweisse's Chamber. Had single bats and tri bats. Bats didn't link together. Bird popped, killed no chest. Wivre boss. Took down with 3 minutes to spare. Nothing in chest.

Last night, went in with 36 to Grimgerde's Chamber. Had hounds. AOE Paralyze slowed the killing of mobs immensely. Took 14 minutes to kill. Killed bird again, chest dropped with temp items. Rested for 2 minutes before engaging Marbol Boss. Must be constantly dispelled. Breath attack must be aimed away. Suggest having some mages stand farther back from other mages in cass they need to be woken up. Killed mob with a bit over a minute left. Nothing in chest.

With 2 allies, for the mob part we use a 2 targeter system for the mobs. Each ally after one mob. 3 paladins to voke/flash/whatever slept mobs to try try to keep them off sleepers. Targeters were ninja and war who tank the engaged mob also.

We're aiming to pull the megaboss closer to a wall next time and keep the tanks back to it. Hard to get the boss there due to Draw In. Also, does the megaboss have TP Regen?

[Pendas]

Just throwing this out there to see if anyone wants to try and experiment. I haven't done any Einherjar yet, but my LS will be starting this Saturday and I've been gathering as much information as I can since release. The only cock-block of Einherjar seems to be the Marid Boss as nobody has figured out how to stop or delay its Probiscus Shower before it regens back to 100%.

Has anyone tried holding and damaging 2-3 lesser mobs next to the Marid Boss? Probiscus Shower sounds like it would be an AoE Healing Move, maybe holding and damaging some lessers while the main alliance kills the boss would lower the amount the Marid is healed by Probiscus Shower since it's spread out to the other mobs.

For those of you who've gotten the monsters are weakened/calmed message after killing the special mob, one thing I wanted to clarify: did you get the message after killing the bird? Or was it given when the chest was actually opened?

If it's when it was opened, perhaps the time you do so might have something to do with it (all mobs but boss killed, still fighting regular mobs, etc). If it's just when you kill the special bird mob, then forget that theory.

We went in Last night with 16,

6 of the "Nickur" (Doomed Toad Things)
Boss it was Morbol Emperor.

Toads didn't seem to have any massive unexpected Hp, died rather easy becuase they are so squishy.

Made the mistake of not limiting the Marbol's Tp gain and got Bad Breathed to Hell can back and timed out with it around 50%
