Strategies to Defeat AV (All Theories/Ideas Here)

[Cog]

tell me when since AV was patched has it used two SPs in a row. i have asked this before and all i get are screenshots of the wall of justice, well let me tell you it hasn't happened again. same with draw-in. SE fixed AV then to prove it made the video. not even they could live through Mighty Fists or Chain-a-Font without some god/debug mode.

*edit*

yeah in before "omg BRACELET MODE" QQ

show everyone a SS of AV using 2hrs back to back that was taken in this calendar year.

well there isn't one, and until some LS does make AV put on the gloves (take off?) we can assume the 60 second rule will hold through the entire fight.

1) They proved nothing in that video. It was edited, small sections of a much longer fight. The only thing that video managed to show us how to do was break AV's regen, which (if you have read these threads you would know) that there was an LS that succeeded in doing this.

2) Again: Read. The. Damn. Thread(s). You will see the 2hrs still go in succession -- here's one you don't have to search to read: Call Wyvren & Mijin Gakure. One always follows the other no matter what (and yes, Call Wyvren is still considered a 2hr for AV, he does not Spirit Surge just like every other mob with DRG abilities).

everyone should read the threads, i did at least twice, as i was posting in them with current and valid info...

the videos show a lot more than just regen breaking my friend.

i fought AV 1 week ago and he let his wyverns stay out until we let him depop (lets just say he never used mijin gakure)

pics from 2008 or its not the AV that exists in FFXI today

I must've missed where 1203 is over 9000.

I assumed no ls present...

I think its kinda weird, and im full aware ppl in this forums are a bit over-sensitive about AV, but can it be possible that if you had more than 1 ls in the alliance, AV will stop one or more two hours?
The dev team said they wanted ppl cooperate with each other to fight this mob, ergo the weird pop condition. *quote Dev team interview*
I remember the one kill on my server, Big NA shell joined with Big JP shell, they killed it, it stoped using two hours after a while. No wall trick, etc.

Maybe the "by what principlesss art thou driven?" its cooperation? its a JP game after all.

There was 1 other thing that was discovered due to the video, and I think it's one of the important things to note:
Absolute Virtue READIES <insert 2 hour here>. vs. Absolute Virtue USES <insert 2 hour here>.

We don't know the significance or difference between the two, except that AV has two distinct ways in which it can use two-hours.

Just...no. No.
I'm sorry, I've been quiet up till now, but that was just...my mind. You blew my mind with that absurd shot in the dark.

Thank you. Thank you for melting my brain with fail.

Maybe I should be more clear. The only real information of use anyone got was the regen break. Other than that it is just a bunch of scrolling text that we haven't found out the secret meaning to yet.

When (or if...) someone (ever) does stumble upon the answer, I have a feeling it is going to be by complete accident and only then will we be able to look at the video and go "ooooh..."

Right now, coming up with any other ideas/theories just seems to be a giant waste of time. I don't think anyone will come up with anything more than what has already been tested.

Although, I won't lie...I hope the multiple LS thing is true, only because it could bring out some great friggin' drama.
