    Dynamis Attestation Question

    I was wondering if anyone has ever had a horrible run at getting the right attestation to drop? I am currently 0/9 on the Attestation of Decisiveness (Great Katana) and I have seen now 5 Scythe and 4 Bow drop.

    Pretty much have been spamming the zone on both Wednesday (8pm EST) and Sunday (3pm EST) for over a month now since its all I need to complete GK but damn I have never in all my dynamis life seen the wrong attestation drop 9 straight runs lmao.

    I have actually setup a run for a different day and time just to try something a little different to see if maybe that can help. Sp anyone else ever experience some horrible luck on the attestation mobs?

    Also was something really weird last night as Velosareon actually used Invincible which was the 1st time I have ever seen him use that especially considering he is a DRK/RNG/SAM lmao.

    Same NM, took us around that number of kills to get Bow to drop I believe.

    Not uncommon.

    0/8+ on horn when we needed it.
    3/3 on horn when we wanted dagger.

    Those NMs are awesome like that!

    There's always the 1% chance you get the 100 currency and no attestation. That aside, each attestation has an equal chance of dropping so you're just having bad luck.

    for real salt in the wounds, we were after the hammer (yes, the hammer. don't ask me.) for months too. it never dropped and eventually the person trying to make the relic hammer quit the game, possibly partially b/c of this.

    That's what we call justice.

    Yeah, Mildiodhewiuuxideugdhib is easily the worst of them. We had pretty bad streaks on the polearm and great katana ones too. Currently the sword one is giving us issues.

    Re: Dynamis Attestation Question

    i'm going to have to pull the smn/bst/drg NM sometime soon, and i'm concerned how the pets will interact, possibly linking the hydra. how does everyone else solve that problem? i've seen a couple of ideas about sleeping everything w/ es sleepga2 (sans hydra ofc) but it seems to me that this would create problems with pets linking the hydra back. the best strategy i've come up with so far i think is to have a sac puller just keep training the pets away. this would also solve the risk of flow turning you into sushi the second his pet wakes from sleep. how does everyone else pull it? (if you've ever even tried, that is. lolstaff, lolspear, lolaxe NM, so it's not really fought much. too bad i need axe and spear from it for my shell!)

    Just have a crimson legs PLD or a THF with Strider/Skadi feet aggro the NM and kite all the pops, including the pets. Someone with enhanced movement speed can kite them forever if they want to, but we just have them kite til we kill the NM and get out of the area.

    Seal/Sleepga II'ing all the pets is a bad, bad idea because the BST pets are all undead hounds and the NM's avatar is Fenrir.

    My LS is 1/1 on GK attestation I believe. You're probably just having bad luck.

    Re: Dynamis Attestation Question

    Well I was 1/1 on my Katana back in the day so I guess I cannot complain lol. Its just frustrating when you have 1 thing holding you from finishing.

    I wish they would make the attestation mobs like the weapon fragments where you know what your getting ahead of time lmao.

    bingo. that's exactly what i figured we'd try, doing it just like we do with the dragons for the boss of the zone. i was just concerned b/c i knew the NM's hate was funny if someone pulled the NM, then it was voked off a train. i'm glad to hear that strategy will work. thanks for the confirmation.

    We pre-pop everything in order to work around that strange hate (at least I think that's why we do it). The sack team will pop the NM helpers and drop glass, then get new glasses from mule. Then the helpers can be trained away on the actual pull. If anyone from our Death Squad™ can correct me, please do.

    Re: Dynamis Attestation Question

    oh, usually we just sacrifice one sucker to walk up, aggro the NM, then pop the hydra escorts. after that, we send a thf or someone w/ an RA who can get out of there fast to shoot one of the escorts. if you then have your pld voke the NM from the train and get the hell out of dodge with the NM to where you're killing it before the puller dies, the hydra will drift back to their tower like good little boys as long as your sac shot an escort hydra and not the NM. then we kill the hydra after, generally, just for some extra stuff before we move on. i was curious about the pet NM though, b/c his pets might complicate that some, so i thought i'd ask.

    Re: Dynamis Attestation Question

    Well, my shell doesn't pre-pop the NM helpers before actually pulling them, so I can't help you there. I've never noticed any weird hate issues, but we often use a multi-stage sac pull to get the NM. Meaning, one guy runs in, aggro's the NM, and starts kiting. A second guy stays nearby, grabbing the NM off the initial puller, and takes it back to camp. Once the main callers have voked the NM and the grabber doesn't have hate anymore, he stays away just in case all the helpers/pets come back for him. They have on some occasions, and have not on other occasions. I'm a BLM, so even though I hold the shell, I'm not much involved in the pulls ... if you want more reliable info, you could try sending a PM to Deathbeckons on this forum, he frequents BG.

    Re: Dynamis Attestation Question

    I've only done these pulls a few times but it was to my understanding that the helpers share hate no matter what with the NM no matter how far away you kite htem. The times i've pulled Goublefaupe, I've take the helpers as far as down the ramp near the quadav country area before they turned back and went to camp.

    Re: Dynamis Attestation Question

    when we tried to just aggro the NM and then yank it off the train, we often found the mobs coming tearing back for our alliance and while 6 hydra might not be that problematic to diaga and kite, w/o warning they can be a bitch.

    top of this thread talks about how to avoid your problems. prior page on that thread talks about the trouble you've had w/ the hate sharing. give it a read, give it a go, and see if it helps you any. btw, that's the guy who never got his hammer attestation. ^^ http://www.dynamisbums.com/forum/showth ... 634&page=3
