Einherjar (Tier 1, create a separate thread for tier 2)

Perhaps there are several modes for each boss that load randomly? Hilde (marid) has chigoe mode and shower mode, etc.

[phane]

We got the Marid to 30% stunning PS. It had not reached the point of resisting stuns. One miss is pretty bad though, and depending on the group, I can see where MP might be an issue. We had about 8 to 10 blms and ended up running out of time.

As time ran low the DD started to melee it again and it resumed to spam PS till it was nearly full. I dont see how you can melee this boss and win at all.

If we are unfortunate and get this boss again, i might try and have the blms start working on the marid while the DD take on the regular mobs. As long as it isnt in chigoe mode we should be able to work it down in time. Probably suicide trying to take on boss without killing the other mobs, but i dont see where anyone has beaten Marid anyway so wth. Your fate is determined when you enter i guess.

Marid sucks >.>

Edit: When he was in chigoe mode, the summoned chigoes were resistant to sleep.

[Therin]

I love the buffalo boss because it's random hate reset. :D

Kraken + Souleater and not dying = win.

[Rellinger]

From what I'm seeing in the last few posts is that if you have the Marid boss, and you don't kill the random mob that pops, he'll spawn chigoes, but if you do kill it, he'll spam the healing move. Which is the lesser of 2 evils? D:

Light sleepga spell required make the area virtually harder by requiring certain specific job to come

Every single thing in the game requires certain specific jobs to come.

not like there's only one job with light based sleepga, so at least there's a little redundancy, right?


..yeah.

virtually harder because it requires specifically bard not rdm|blm or a tank with shadows, or B+ H2H, etc.

Doesn't BLU also have a Light-based Sleepga or two? Sheep Song and Yawn qualify.

you're right. sheep song and yawn would qualify (I missed these) although I don't know if I'd want yawn as my primary light based sleepga - how's the range duration on sheep song?

Octavious reported not killing the bird but still not have chigoes spawn from the marid. Could've been a different bird (Muninn), though.

EDIT: Maybe:
Huginn (Pink crow): Defeated: Weakens/changes enemies?/boss (Marid no longer spawns chigoes), Despawned: Enemies/boss stay the same (Marid spams P. Shower)
Muninn (Black crow): Defeated: Chest, Despawned: Enemies/boss stay the same
Heithrun (Sheep): Defeated: ?, Despawned: ?
Tiger: Defeated: Enemies?/boss? stay the same?, Despawned: Enemies?/boss? weaken? (Maybe Huginn affects the boss and the tiger affects regular enemies?)

[Octavious]

yea, we most definitly didn't kill the bird. I remember on TeamSpeak everyone was like "Wtf? Wasn't there a f--king bird?" lol. It despawned as we finished the last Chigoe off, it thats an indication of anything, I don't know \(^_^)/

[phane]

Huginn (Pink crow): Defeated: Weakens/changes enemies?/boss (Marid no longer spawns chigoes), Despawned: Enemies/boss stay the same (Marid spams P. Shower)

Our second time in, we killed Huginn and it gave us a chest, but the Marid still spammed PS.

When we started to manaburn him, he did not spam it as much, but with melee on him, it was constant.

[Sagacious Sundi]

Oh, maybe I mixed up Huginn and Muninn. For the first I meant whichever bird is reported to leave behind a message.

EDIT: Yeah, definitely mixed up the 2.

[Kitha]

Our first run gave us doomed and marid. Killed pink bird, got message, went to fight Marid... it spammed chigoes AND pro. shower. The spawned Chigoes seemed to have Endispel; we'd get overwhelmed and somehow the WHMs who got hit by the Chigoes were unable to RR after dying.

We've had a couple more runs without any wins (crappy luck with the mob packs). Nobody is really enjoying Einherjar so far.

[phane]

Killed pink bird, got message

Most of the posts say the pink bird drops a chest. Do you remember which message it was?

Nope, our first run we killed the tiger that popped, and the Marid spawned chigoes and spammed Proboscis Shower. Tiger seems to do absolutely nothing.

On our first run we didn't kill the bird and our Marid had Chigoe and spammed shower.

[Uzor]

have anyone actually seen the sheep? 'cause, you know, with 4 random mobs, the odds to get sheep should be 1/4, but no one have reported the sheep ever popping, which makes me think the random pop isn't really that random =/

Yes, last saturday on our second run, killed it and no message nor chest popped.

[LLK]

We did "G" chamber last night and we pretty much fucked over our chances of winning.

12 Ghosts and The Marlboro

Had about 12 ghosts and plowed threw those with the normal ease. Poison Pots + Holy Water for the sleega / Curse counter. Brown Bird popped we killed it and I personally didn't get a message, but a few of my LS mates did(so they say).

We engaged the Marlboro boss with about 18min left on the clock. Original plan was to have the SAM SATA the 2 tanks while everyone else was out of range. This is where everything went wrong. First off the SAM weren't in the same ally as the tanks so no SATA there. On top of that people didn't pop there poison pots (mage wise) so SAM started dieing left and right. Add on to that the crazy ass TP moves it has and our 2 tanks (both were PLD) couldn't maintain hate due to para / silence / whatever the fuck else it gives you with Bad Breath spam. So there hate was all over the place. Which of course led to mages (BLM) eatting dirt.

BLM nukes were doing a steady 8-900 damage per TIV. So I really think if executed right that the SC+MB order we had planned would have work. We just wtfucked it up. During the last 5 minutes we called for a zerg on it. And with Chainspell Stuns + melee 2houring (some of which were weak) we took it from 79% -> 30%. So it's really not that hard of a boss we were just trying to minimize it's TP spam and we ended up fucking ourselves.

Oh well live and learn I guess.

Went in to "S" tonight with 21 people.
4 brd
1 blu
3 pld
1 rng
4 blm
2 sam
3 rdm
2 drk
1 war

We had 8 Nikur (doomed) and the Morlboro boss. We killed about 3 doomed mobs before the brown bird Munnin spawned near the boss (not near us). We pulled it, and killed it. We got the calming mobs message. Did not notice any difference with the remaining mob strength. We rested to full and engaged the boss with 16 minutes left. Half of the time melee were too debuffed to do anything, so the blms did most of the damage. We got him to about 60% before timing out.

Next time we are making all melee /sam and bring sleep tp items. We will perform SC+MB only. No meleeing the boss if it is morlboro or marid.

[Lordender]

2nd time in a row we had 24 mobs + mb timed out both times.

Tuesday's run we had 12 dark ele's and 12 ghosts, Marid boss.
Tonight was 12 skeleton's and 12 ghost, Wivre boss.

I begin to think lolherjar, totally not impressed with it so far(massive fail unless it gets a-lot-better in the higher wings). LS won our first two times we did it, didn't get anything worthwhile from chests yet.

[miokomioko]

Our LS has been very lucky with our mob types and now our group is 3/3 for the first wing. Yay for maybe Wing-2 next week... if there's enough people that attended all 3 runs.

1st run: Doomed/Bugards + Wivre Boss + Bird (depopped)
Drops: Wivre shit.

2nd run: Worms + Manticore Boss + Tiger (killed and no chest or message)
Drops: Manticore shit.

3rd run: Doomed + Orobon Boss + Bird (killed and got chest, no message)
Drops: Orobon shit.

[Lexa]

Did Rossweisse yesterday, 19 people, 2 BRDs and got Garms + Marid. Didn't go so hot, the poor BRDs couldn't keep up with all the Lullabies. How are people approaching Einherjar, btw? As on big alliance, one tank, taking out one mob at the time, or splitting up into "exp setup" groups, each with a tank, each taking on a mob?
