Einherjar Tier 2 [Now with more bitching!]

[Max™]

What? It doesn't boil? No Tangerines? Useless translation.

I have to say, the funny alone makes that an incredibly useful translation.

Also: Any Tier III news I've missed? Been checking all over the place to see if maybe it magically gets awesome for T3.

I particularly liked "It is continuously a bomb." myself.

[Rocl]

Chigoes, Diremites, and a Frog boss for tier2
Frog is crazy, yo

[Fryte]

Frog boss had random hate. Did Frog Cheer. Immune to head butt, but not Stun. Cast all kinds of time(?) magic (Breakga, Sleepga, Graviga.) Occassionally charmed. Died easy enough, just a lot of hurdles.

And hoorah for being cleared for tier3.

[Sagacious Sundi]

What did she drop? 3 Poroggo hats?

[Elmer the Pointy]

You can feel free to send me a PM any time you want. Otherwise I just stumble upon it a week later like this. Here's what they were talking about.
Ampoule = Einherjar points I guess, but I'm not sure what a Fool's Drink is. The rest should make sense.

• We cleared Schwetleite's Chamber.
  These were the monsters we faced:
  12 Flames of Muspelheim, a giant growing bomb
  12 Battlemite, Diremites
  Hrungnir, a Golem Boss
  Muninn, the special mob, a bird
  [/*:m:768f1]
• First, the Diremites were the toughest part. It was because they wouldn't sleep (5 resisted Lullaby, 8 resisted Sleep).[/*:m:768f1]
• The 2 Ninjas couldn't handle the barrage of attacks, so we had Paladins use Invincible and took them out one by one[/*:m:768f1]
• They dropped a box and we got some medicines and used them right away[/*:m:768f1]
• While fighting the Diremites, some other people went exploring. Along the way, they killed the bird. We got the "faint breathing" message.[/*:m:768f1]
• Next were the bombs. They didn't link, but they would expand every 10 seconds. After 4-5 times, they would then Self-Destruct. 6 of them reacted to Magic and would partially destruct. They couldn't be slept.[/*:m:768f1]
• We defeated the remaining ones safely by carefully pulling from a distance.[/*:m:768f1]
• A box also dropped at this point.[/*:m:768f1]
• The boss usually does high damage with its WS, and will Triple Attack with high attack power. You need to Phalanx II your tank and Cure constantly. At about 70%, it splits into two monsters.[/*:m:768f1]
• It stops using Triple Attack but now uses Double Attack. They use their WS simultaneously. The damage is fairly huge.[/*:m:768f1]
• Thunder Break x2 is just overwhelming, so those who don't die should use items like "Fool's Drink" (?) right away[/*:m:768f1]
• Both Golems will attack the same person, so hate dispersion is useless[/*:m:768f1]
• We beat it by nuking it down with simultaneous BLM attacks. If you try to go for the quick win, we think things could get messy. We made it just under the clock.[/*:m:768f1]
• Drops: Feather, 800 Ampoule, Raxa cloth, Golem Shard, Golem Shard, Mythril Ore, Mythril Ore, Mythril Ore, Orichalcum Ore[/*:m:768f1]

[Imitarate]

Fool's drink is invincible-in-a-can, one of the besieged/salvage/nyzul/einherjar-apparently temp items. Immunity to physical damage, but no hate spike.

[BRP]

Fool's is magical and Fanatic's is physical.

[Lordwafik]

Fool's drink is invincible-in-a-can, one of the besieged/salvage/nyzul/einherjar-apparently temp items. Immunity to physical damage, but no hate spike.

Fools only resists magical spells, not even magical attacks. So thinks like Blizzard and such.

[Rocl]

What did she drop? 3 Poroggo hats?

Yeah 3 Poroggo Hats.
It seemed to be kinda like a Qiqirn in Salvage as it kited itself, but still also ran to people with hate. It did AoE charm only below 50%, possibly even 30%? Wasn't paying that much attention, but it only did single target before that, and I think it continued to do single target a few times after- so we could of just gotten lucky.

Also, after we pulled the diremites, the brown bird popped. We killed it and got the weakened message, and all the diremites had 90% HP afterwards. It's highly unlikely all of them got cursed.. by a THF >_>

The translation just confuses me further, haha as that sounds so different from what we've encountered.
The Battlemites in Waltraute's Chamber most definetly sleep, as I slept them myself with Sleepga 2. Also, I don't think I've ever seen a box drop randomly without the pink bird. Most of the stuff about the golem seems right, but they don't share hate 100%. Kinda hard to explain, but I could definetly kite one a little ways away with gravity/bind. However, they did seem to enjoy going back to the same person- it was really weird. Then again, all bosses have weird hate in Salvage haha

[drwaffles]

Did Waltraute's Chamber yesterday, the last chamber we need to gain access to Wing III. Unfortunately we lost (first time we have lost a Wing II chamber), so the earliest we can be in Wing III is next Saturday. We got an initial wave of Spiders and Leeches. The mysterious mob that popped was a Tiger - it popped in the middle of the Leeches, someone claimed it but for some reason it just ran around the room randomly in amongst the Leeches so we couldn't get to it. Managed to pull it out eventually and kill it, but I didn't make a note of what message we got upon its death.

After the Spiders and Leeches died a huge number of bats popped (triple bats) and Poroggo boss. Eventually managed to kill all the bats with about five minutes remaning for the boss. One of our DRKs used SEBW at the start and immediately got Charmed... in short she went on a bloodthirsty amphibian rampage. As has been said the mob kited the entire Alliance at times (after casting Graviga orz), so we had no hope of killing it within five minutes.

[Rocl]

Oh, and for the Poroggo boss, blizzard sucks haha
Actually most, if not all, of my nukes got resisted, highest I could muster was 450ish Thunder4

[Not Kuno]

Poro seemed to have random hate. I was resting far back and when I was running towards the mob (havnt done any actions), it charmed all the melee and they all started to run at me. So yeah I think it has some random hate thing. He casted breakga once, graviga alot and sleepga often, but I dont think I saw any sort of heavy -ga3 stuff. He just liked enfeebles it seemed.

Also yay for tier3 clear now. >:3

[Rocl]

He did cast Blizzaga3, and Thundaga3 I think, but they were stunned
(also boo for missing the first tier2 clear and being 2/3 for tier3 ; ; )

[Suiram]

How do you guys handle people who missed earlier clears? Do them all two or three times to get everyone? Move on to the next tier but rotate in earlier rooms occasionally? One day a week for new rooms, one day for repeats? Trying to get an idea of a good schedule for when we start doing Einherjar again.

[Not Kuno]

Ein is super gay because people can't be at EVERY run, and so they get left behind. What we do to remedy this is try to go back and do tier 1s but.. even when we go back to tier1s there are sometimes people who are missing tier1 clears that arn't there that day. We do repeats alot and so we have most of the ls cleared for tier2 atm, but many still don't have tier3.

Moral of the story: Ein's system is gay and expect to go back to tier1s and 2s alot.

[Fryte]

BASELESS SPECULATION WARNING

The fate of Einherjar lies in that last chamber. If it sucks, Einherjar will fade into nothing until it's fixed via drop rate on abjurations or the key item system. Having to backflag people constantly is a huge chore. We've been doing Einherjar nonstop since it came out (2-3 months?) and we're just now almost finished with clearing people for tier2. Some have tier3, but most lack 1 or more. If you fight the Valkyries in the final chamber and they drop their feathers that could potentially be win, but it'd still be annoying for people who didn't show up for that run. I figure it will be like Bahamut v2's drops. Guaranteed rare/ex item + abjuration + ToAU craftables (see: Cerberus/Khim/Hydra stuff.) Fingers crossed anyways.

Oh yeah, and if SE is reading this, just because Einherjar is 30minutes doesn't mean it needs 1/6th the rewards of a 3 hour event. It's fucking hard and requires lots of power and balance that I would say -most- endgame linskhells don't have.

Before people label this as bitching, let it be known I love Einherjar. It's a frantic frenzy. I just wish it was rewarding outside of fun.

Speaking of third tier, where's the third tier thread?

[Admo]

Speaking of third tier, where's the third tier thread?

Why start one when they are making "game-breaking" changes to lower their HP in the next patch?

[Rocl]

Speaking of third tier, where's the third tier thread?

Find some decent information, hopefully more than that one or two runs that's been reported, compile it and post it.
I don't think there's enough information currently out to warrant a tier three thread, but if someone puts forth the effort!
