Absolute Virtue Theory

@Bamiman

Your theory has been carried over to an AV thread in the advanced forums. I think it would greatly help your case if you could check that thread out and give some more details of your findings. If we can keep that thread alive and keep adding more useful info, then we might actually make some progress on AV strategies. I think it would be just amazing if some people from BG showed up at the fanfest with our OWN video of someone defeating AV.

Well.

It might be useful if someone could show up to fanfest with a normal fight against AV, showing exactly where we get raped.

Toss in the Chocolate Rain background music (I knew there was a reason I had avoided listening to that clip... dammit) and a **I move away from the group to get Meteored at 79%.

1) Wasn't the aern theory debunked on this very page?

Not really. Bamiman said "Keep the RDM aern near AV alive and don't kill it." Then Hapernack said:

Killed all the Om'aerns around AV and did not notice a lock of anything at all. As a matter of fact he still Manafont'd and meteor'd us all to death a few times.

Doesn't specify if they tried holding RDM one for any amount of time, in fact it sounds like they just randomly killed aerns hoping it would do something (which is the opposite of what Bamiman asked to try). Bamiman then asked for more details and I don't think Hapernack ever replied :/. It may or may not work, but so far it hasn't been debunked as far as I can see.

As far as holding wyverns being too hard because of shared hate, Lhexh said:

Outside of Mijin it's really easy for a single RDM/NIN to hold their own Wynav since they can be debuffed/gravitied.

Need more info on this. How easy? Do they build resistance to grav like other NMs? Is grav really needed? (I would think it is to avoid -ga spells, unless they can be stunned...can they be?) Is shared hate a problem or not? Because if Mijin really is the only problem, then bring them to 1% HP and you're ok.
