Einherjar: Valgrind (Odin's Chamber)

[Eticket]

A Body
A Hands
P Legs
V Helm

lost on helm by like 40 points lol

So what would you say is the most efficient way to take care of Odin's summons?
Searched but didn't really find anything

[Rocl]

On a related note; has anyone ever killed the Valkyries? If so, what happened?

Most efficient is to just have 3 PLD/NIN or RDM/NIN or heck NIN for that matter each assigned to one pop per summon set (3 sets of 3 summons) and they just hold it and shadow tank for around 1-2mins, they get disinterested and return to Odin to depop. These are a joke to hold as RDM/NIN, Slow 2 owns them, PLD should have no problem either.

On a separate note, /hate for Nlegs drop, we've only seen 1 drop in 20 Odins, I've been waiting forever (I lost on the only pair we got with a 793, lost to ~820 ) for them to drop again. And wow at almost tossing Fork, that's one of our most wanted items lol. Oddly enough we also had 2 straight ebodys off Odin, but no drop last kill.

Nothing happens sadly.

We have 1 PLD/WAR hold all 3 of them, usually no problem with a RDM/WHM for support.

Ridic, they should at least drop feathers or something

[Taint]

Ridic, they should at least drop feathers or something

That would change the dynamic of the fight altogether, great idea.

At the very least would make it more interesting.

Rdm/nin with PDT gear, 4-5 pairs of powder boots and tav tacos. Use a pair of boots just before each 10%, diaga if pop and run, equip another pair of powder boots while running and use if needed, with shadows, food, buffs, gear they take a long time to put you in any real danger but extra pairs of boots just makes fight a lot safer (for the sake of 10-20k a pair and will last 10~ odins each).

[Kipling]

We just have a thf/whm diaga and run, works like a charm.

[Asdrabael]

Last Odin the LS just used a single rdm/nin with multiple powder boots and just flee'd them away. Unless your ls takes a ridiculous amount of time to take down 10% life, 3-4 boots should be more than enough.

Best drops so far :D

We're doing our first odin tonight, but we have only 1 rng and 1 smn, and 24 people.

I was thinking something like:

Tank PT
WHM
PLD
PLD
RDM
BRD
COR

DD PT1
COR
BRD
WHM
RNG
DRK
WAR

DD PT2
DRG
DRG
SAM
SAM
BRD
RDM

Holding PT
WHM
RDM/NIN
PLD/NIN
THF/NIN
SMN
BLM

That's pretty much all we have to work with, tops... I was thinking if we keep Angon+DiaIII up full time damage dealing wouldn't be too big of a problem. My main fear is taking too much AoE damage.

Is this going to be doable?

[nitsuj]

I'd just like to point out for statistics that in 11 Odin's, I believe we've gotten 1 or 2 E Bodies (I can only remember one, but we have to have had 2, right?) and like 7 A. Bodies.

We've got quite a few W Bodies, 2 P Bodies, I think 1 N Legs. Personally, I just want W Head... I'm convinced it just won't drop.

Odin stuff I think Hofud is our rare drop... probably Val. Body. We've got like 6 Odin Helmets and 2 or 3 forks. I'm compiling actual statistics, but it's not done yet, sorry :/

Just found it odd to see groups going 13 Odins with 8 E Bodies and 1 Dalmatica. I wish we could have some E Bodies!

No BLU? While not close to RNG, still is pretty solid ranged damage.

We timed out @7% because of stupidity.

First off, the DD can't read and only brought about 1 piece of food each wtf.

Second, I don't know what the fuck our brds were doing but they were only buffing 2/4 DD per party.

Last, we were still in good shape till we had to proc Zantetsuken, had about 2-3 minutes left approaching this point. The plan was to all run away at 11% and use the RNG and DD to proc it while everyone else was getting SV buffs. The DD I specifically selected to go proc it ran away too, and when I told them to go back and proc it, they sat there without a word.

Zantetsuken went off with well under a minute left and the DD got to Odin and started attacking him, but timed out at 7%

/Sigh

Oh well, that's all you can reasonably expect from a pickup einherjar shell on their first Odin I guess, but I still waned the win dammit. 7mil in glasses and counting. The hit in the pocket won't be as painful when we beat his ass in a couple weeks. Need 4 more wins to get back to him.

Did notice that conventional DD worked completely fine on him though. He didn't have any real threatening moves. The RNG was a real beast too.

[Nitecon]

Odin #14 with 22 people. (23 if you include 2-boxed TH3 mule)

H Body (#4)
E Legs
H Hands
P Body (#3)
V Helm (#4)

Got the 10 minute warning just as we were setting up to force Zantetsuken.

Our resident SAM sacrifice took him down from 11% to 8% :D

Then our rng took it down from 8% to 6% it was over before we even got started

Died within 1 minute after Zantetsuken went off, another great job, keep it up FC!

If you are nearing Zantesukin phase with 2-3 minutes left, you are already in trouble. Super intimidate mode will fuck your world up (as far as damage goes). Not to say you cant save 2hours/JAs/Icarus wings for this phase, but even 1% can seem like forever if intimidates have their way.

And ya, our group has had our close calls with 16-18 man Odins(we dont reclear wings if people miss), but never actually timed out.

We did however get screwed on drops on Odin 20 a while back. Was like "oh nice, this is our 20th Odin, maybe we will be rewarded with... WTF #$#$LIJLK P.hands, P.body, H.legs".
