Einherjar: Valgrind (Odin's Chamber)

[Belkin]

Whats up with them sneaking e.legs in there, we got those shits in tier 1 -_-;;;

Grats on dalmatica though, its nice to know that at least 1 Abj from Aspid/Nid/KB seems to drop from Odin

notes:

AoEs, except zantesuken, have a small enough range that mages can stay out yet still cast (around 17' max I think). I didn't need to use meds once, didn't even die since I was oor for everything. Melees need fucktons of meds though.

Highly resistant to all enfeebles save dia/bio. I got para to stick once in full skill/acc gear on iceday, never got slow.

Great Axe wars said they could easily eat meat on him

Killing pets doesn't drop feathers.

More to come, pics etc!

don't think he'll go test now <_>

Like people said, it's not worth killing the adds. They're pretty weak yea, but they hit hard as fuck; my shadow went down for a sec and it savage blade'd me for 1226 on war -o-(mighta had serk on ;D) overall the fight was pretty easy though you can still get fucked if you get unlucky. Btw I think the move's name was Ofnir? he says some blip with gugnir in it and tosses spear and rains down on you like medusa shit, that move fucking hurts D: took like 800 dmg forgot if it's blinkable off top of my head. Anyways guess it's a kb/nid/turtle once every uh 1-2 months <_>

more notes:

Odin did a high-powered WS three times during the fight, I think at 75, 50, and 25, at a slightly longer range than usual. Did craploads of damage, took out our tanks the first time around. I think it was Geirkosul or something, basically an animation of spears raining down on the targets.

Like I said before, only melees really need to worry about the AoEs, but they need a fair amount of meds. some form of instant RR is a good idea, remedies, wings, etc.

Dunno how much of the following info has been posted already, but heres the types of WS he has, courtesy of Xcpt's translating abilties:

Gagnrath - AoE damage and Terror, range limited to melees

Sanngetall - aoe damage and full Dispel. Happens every 10%. Having two WHMs in the tank party was handy to rebuff

Valfodr - aoe damage with Curse and Silence. Use Remedy to cure both, making mages do it takes too long

Geirrothr - aoe damage and Bind.

Yggr - gives Odin Killer effects. Uses near the end of the fight, after zanketsuken. We used 3 RNGs thinking intimidation won't affect ranged attacks, dunno if it was true or not. Really sucked trying to cast on it though.

Ofnir - aoe damage. Nothing huge here.

Geirotthr? - large AoE damage, like I described above. Dunno if thats the real name, I'll take a look at screenies as we get them in to see if I can find it.

Zantesuken - uses once below 10%. Can run out of range, beyond 40' is enough. once it got to 12% we all ran oor except for one tank and a few dd to take it down.

Summons helpers in sets of three, named after the chambers. Killing them doesn't do anything that I saw, and they despawn eventually. Pops seemed to be % based, couldn't tell if depop was % based or not.

uses magic: Sleepga 2, blizzaga 3/4, AoE blind para slow petrify. xcpt said he uses Dread Spikes as well but I didn't see that.

Meds you may want:

Mages: MP stuff, pro ether and vile was useful to have although I didn't use as RDM. RR gorget/pin, and a backup macroed hi-reraiser is reccomended. anyone that needs to run in and buff melees will want to bring a stack of remedies in case, but people that can stay outside shouldn't need.

Melees: macroed RR item is useful again in case you are going to die. can't keep RR up at all times due to dispel. Need remedies to counter Valfodr. Stack+ of food, since dispel goes through that too. elixir wouldn't hurt. Need poison potions for sleepgas, at least a stack, probably two.

Our group didn't know what to expect, so we went overboard on the meds: both viles, pro-ether, holy water/echos/eye drops/antidote, rr scroll and both rr meds, two stacks of remedies and two stacks of food.

EDIT: oh yeah, apparently BLM sucks on this.

[stinkypoo]

The move they're talking about is Geirrothr, and the first one did a crapload of damage <_> (edit: the helpers had already popped by then, so I guess it's unrelated). Killed both our PLD/NINs so we had a WAR and a NIN tank for a bit.

Every other time he used it after that, it was more reasonable...I think he used it more than just when he summoned helpers, but not 100% sure :S. It also looks kinda cool:

Oh the entry on Wiki is partially wrong about his spikes being undispellable; finale works (being light based and all I guess):

Was a pretty fun fight, too bad you can't do it more often

no, it isnt even close. Without drains, its ordinary. Certainly not better than Perdu.

Valhalla head is a piece of shit, Koenig/Kaiser Schaller is much better.

Even the body is meh, I'd say Koenig is better unless you're stacking the hell out of VIT gear (meaning diminishing returns), and even then it's only for /WAR so it's useful for like. . . sky guardians, sea jailers, Faf/hogg and Dynamis? <_>

sorry,we use /war for everything. Both pieces are extremely good, the head is only better because it allows for you to use Ares's Cuirass gaining refresh over head while still gaining -5% physical damage., where you only lose some sheild skill and some vit . Also 6 shield skill from a kaiser helm isnt helping an aegis much.

The blue sword sucks because blumages suck, the drg lance is powerhouse. head>body>lance>sword. Id be very disapointed if we got the blu sword, and i truly feel bad for you guys for getting it ;;.

also..lol sky guardians.

I truly feel bad for you.

*edit*
stay out of the forum unless you want to justify your thoughts. Almost this whole board is full of idiots like you that know nothing and just make stupid comments, i thought for a few seconds the idiots would stay out of the section, guess i was wrong.

Who the fuck are you? What the hell are you talking about and furthermore, are you really that retarded?

Welcome to Apathy.

[Mertron]

It's possible I'm the only one who feels this way, but as a BLU I'm not really impressed by that sword. Depending on the frequency of the add effect it really only looks good for soloing >.> Guess if one of those three jobs has to get it though may as well be a BLU though.

Bummer that the summons dont drop feathers. Einherjar definitely losing some appeal, even with the ability to clear chambers in any order, you still have to clear all 9 chambers to get back to Odin. 9 runs takes around a month at best, factor in people missing a run here and there, and you're probably looking at Odin being a once every-other month event at best. They really should boost the abjuration drop rate in the first 9 chambers.
