    SM Assault Blitzkrieg Question

    So, my Assault Static is all around SL now. So we're trying to do a few zones for some people to get them some desired items. The PLD in my group is looking for a Sanguine, and hearing it comes from that assault we've been doing it 2-3x out of our 7 runs a week.

    My main question is if the NM Bluethunder is supposed to charge you with the first wave of monsters. We've done this assault 4x so far and have yet to actually see the NM approach us. We've fought through the wave moving through the zone, as well as staying in static positions and have yet to see it.

    If anyone could maybe clarify something I seem to be missing it would be appreciated. I'd really like to get max points on this assault as it's relitively both fun and easy. Thank you in advance to anyone who's able to clarify my confusion.

    Octy~

    Re: SM Assault Blitzkrieg Question

    If i read this correctly, for the first NM to pop you have to kill a significant number of Mamools, instead of regular mobs.

    If that is not your question i'm sorry.

    Edit: IIRC is about 20+ Mamools

    Re: SM Assault Blitzkrieg Question

    So, focusing on the mamools then? I have to believe we killed quite a few by the time the 1st wave ended, but we don't start looking for the Mamool Ja NM until after the 1st wave. I'm getting the feeling that is incorrect. Then again, I would hope I would have noticed a longer named mob during the wave...

    I just found a thread on here that might have solved our problem (kinda)

    You dont really have to move much, We did force our way to one of the big areas, and the NM just popped close.

    I got all excited, than saw it was my old thread. I tried the BC at least 10 times, and still havent succeeded at popping the NM. I always aim for mamool 1st, killing 20-30 every times but it never worked. If you need a certain number to pop, its definitively more than 20.


    I suspect it might have something to do with the area you are fighting in too, Maybe you need to find the right room to make it pop.

    I've seen it pop, but it sometimes doesn't aggro and just runs past and who knows what happens to it then. My run was low-manned so we just let him go about his business since we were short on time anyways.

    I remember reading somewhere not only do you need to kill a lot of mamool ja, you need to avoid killing too many of the regular mobs(like only a couple max), or he will not pop, maybe that is your problem? Not sure if this has been debunked.

    He's popped for us twice out of the many runs we've done. We've always done the same thing: fight right on the ledge outside the tunnel near the start, bring 2x DD (usually THF + BLU) and a RDM, kill everything as fast as possible. He popped towards the end of the first wave both times, we killed, got key, then shortly thereafter the first wave stopped and we'd hafta exit the assault while trying to escort through the second wave because of time.

    Re: SM Assault Blitzkrieg Question

    The number of mamool require is like 120+ if I remember correctly. Usually the rule of thumb is to kill mamool till you see the boss, kill the boss then start using AOE to kill everything. With 4, I usually can pop the boss, save the NPC but can't finish the third wave.

    p.s. BLU owns for this assault.

    You need to sleep the non Mamool and focus on killing Mamool exclusively. I know for a fact though that we managed to get the sword you're after without popping the Mamool NM at all though.

    Yeah, we've (I'm in Octavious' static) just been AOEing and Againg everything in sight, so we might have to reign that in a little bit next time we try it.

    Knew it had to be something strange, we've yet to do that assault with a full party and we still powered through in like 15 minutes (only had the first 200 to kill though)
