[Arthars]

killed 9/10

single target reset (main target gets full HM damage 1710 damage on MNK tank) while others get the 200ish damage only

instantly went to the WAR after

With that set up i have Dark Magic 306 if you add Nashira body and Merciful cape you can jack it up to 316, I'd recomment BLMS to use Nashira body if they have it on this fight, 5 dark and 5 MACC prety effective in getting your stuns to stick.

Seems that killing particular gears have different effects. We were able to turn off hate reset totally one time, but HM was still doing 600+ dmg.

Thank you for the advice, however, I did specifically say in my post that it's not Homing Missile that's getting us, it's LBC's crazy melee damage and double/triples. Our MNK's did get some practice vs Long-Armed Chariot who seems 10x easier, so maybe we'll have better luck next time we try for LBC.

There really isn't much to say about that except bring a RDM with capped Slow II and Paralyze II, make sure your BRD has CHR and weapon unlocked for Elegy, and if you absolutely must, bring a COR for Ice Shot. If you want to spice it up, have the Slow II RDM come /DRK and use Absorb-MND since Slow II is based on CasterVIT-EnemyVIT, you get double bang for your buck when Absorb-MND is used right before casting. Add a second WHM if you have to. If Slow II, Para II, and elegy are on, you would have to either get extremely unlucky or have slow WHMs or poor tanks for anyone to die.

That's an excellent summation. Thank you very much. ^_^/

For the last 30% I'll usually pop a mind potion in conjunction with my the gob mushpot it usually turns the lbc into a paraplegic with para procs.

Oops, I meant CasterMND-EnemyMND in the above post. Not VIT

Wooooohooooo.

Well, there's your problem. You're not supposed to kill the ramparts. :-"

[Cail]

/sigh....another bhaflau run, another 3 ramparts, another 0/3 on NMs popping...this is getting annoying

[Arthars]

its normal cail

its the same as NM there, kill, no drop in other zones

Quick question, what does the Archaic Chariot aggro on floor 4?
I thought it was sound and magic, but weird behavior when I went to sac it made me think otherwise lol.
Do the triple gears link to the chariot vice versa? Reason I ask is because I was sac'ing, ran right by it to aggro, but only got gears to aggro me, chariot then didn't aggro anyone else except for the last person that ran by... lol.

So just to confirm do gears link to it also?

Last night:
3 Gate Widows, 0 drops.
0 Skirmish Pephredo.

/yawn

The best I have done at pulling the gears is 8/10... and that was mad stressful. The last room was completely stupid; they almost never were away from each other.

[Seditedi]

Got to be patient and you'll be fine, our puller been like 10/10 9/10 10/10 on last 3 tries, and the 9/10 was a fluke =P just need to make sure you have at least 40-45 minutes when you hit the 4th floor.

[alphacat]

I personally like to have mnks pull with chi blast, since it goes off immediately and the gear won't move when you're casting. Like the guy above said, it's all about patience. Just wait, and they'll definitely move apart.

You really need to just be patient and be able to gauge your distances well (None of our pullers use Distance so I dunno how you'd use that to help out). Our main puller is 50/50, with me at 19/20, and a substitute puller sitting at 10/10. Its really easy, but you need to be have a semi-good eye for when gears are about to move/link or not.

[Slott]

they link via sight and a very small sound range, as long as they arent facing one another you're fine.

[Seditedi]

Also helps to be patient with the puller too, lol.
If someone is constantly saying hurry up etc. just tell them to stfu.

[Lordwafik]

If you can equip darts, those are best for /ra tagging gears, I've pulled it twice successfully now with Ziska + Acids (for def down, easier kill).

[Arkanna]

Anyone have any thoughts on the 2F rampart? We've popped it time and time again, and we're still not even seeing any Skirmish Pephredo's... it's getting to the point where we're forced to wonder if there's not other conditions that make it possible for the rampart to pop NM's. We've entered at all times of in-game day, we've entered with after having done the 1F rampart and after having not seen Mad Bomber, we've entered fully-geared, not fully-geared, etc. Oi...

Any thoughts?
