Long Bowed Chariot - Buffed ?

[Hapernack]

Silpha if you're interested, my salvage shell is still recruiting mnks. I'd be happy to give you a trial and at the very least let you tank a buttload of bosses until you could do it in your sleep. PM me if you want more details.

[shihei]

Boooo hope they fix this before my group starts doing bhaflau, unless it is still killable with a good group, then we should be ok

Been getting better and better at every zone, and lucky on drops(except the ones i want )

Glad the first group I wanted to join for salvage runs didnt want me, cause...cause...cause....just cause.

[Hapernack]

Its buffed and its harder but I don't think it should break any groups entirely. If your strat was sound and you weren't relying largely on luck, this buff really shouldn't affect you at all. On a scale of 1-10, if LBC was a 7 then he's now like a 7.25.

We're still doing him with MNK MNK WHM RDM COR BRD - BLM (WHM/RDM) so it's not that hard...I still haven't noticed a difference but who knows

If you haven't noticed a difference then you probably just haven't seen it yet. It doesn't happen all the time.

2 LBC since Wafik posted, no change for us. Just as easy as usual.

I've actually noticed this "hyper" behavior on other monsters, not just LBC:

- doing ENM Vahzl, the mea boss did Brume->Thrash->Carousel in 3 seconds with only 3 of us in range, and he was at like 75% HP.
- doing Promy-Dem, the boss did about 6 fissions in rapid succession
- doing Promy-Mea, the mea boss went on a huge rampage, doing Brume->Spike->Carousel->Thrash->Carousel in rapid succession. He then chased around the survivors spamming TP moves once in range.

I'm thinking SE broke something with monster AI with regain.

[Hapernack]

I'm waiting to see triple-Spike Flail.

[thorjones]

Ok yeah something wrong with LBC.

Tonight he was hitting me for Dble the normal amount.

Back to back Tp moves.

We have a brd with relic horn and had two whm and a rdm healing and ran outta mp, even with soul voice from curing. Never seen it this hard.

Did it another two times, probably our fastest kills. For the people that are having the "buffed" LBC's, just to take a lolkalia stance, is there anything you're doing different? RDM wise, pathing wise, etc? I mean for us, the difference between one RDM and the next is huge. One has actual enfeebling merits capped for TierII, and the others have lolphalanxII. SlowII3/3 and elegy is an 87% increase in delay so...anyway, just wondering.

we did have a different rdm than normal both pretty evenly geared/merited though we went path we always go(west 1st Floor, Southeast 2nd floor, and west 3rd Floor).

Slow doesn't effect TP moves, last night ours used 3 TP moves without any other actions in between, not even a normal melee attack.

Wind weather last night, so killed one gear then just ran through the rest.

[Churchill]

Was it under 25%?

[ringthree]

Was it under 25%?

It was close last night, but I have seen it do TP moves back to back above that.

And this isn't under 25% HP TP spam, this is back to back to back with nothing in between. Animation for the last move ends, and the animation for the next one begins.

[Churchill]

Regain+WS (server delay) and all of a sudden TP possibly? I mean, on LBC he seems to use TP whenever he has it rather than waiting once you get him down there...it wouldn't be implausible for that to happen as I've seen it before from LBC and to a minor extent LAC. I just never thought it was weird.

Edit: Ours was a little tougher than usual tonight, used all this TP moves at 100% for sure, also got off 5 HM's somehow...bad luck at it having TP as it turned, but didn't seem any more gay than usual ;/. Despot on the other hand dropped our PLD with like 5 back to back Panzers.

LBC is definitely much more annoying that it used to be, but its not overwhelming. Despot, on the other hand is just retarded now. We weren't expecting it and we had to gravity and nuke it, LOL after it ate our NIN's faces.

[Uzor]

Killed it twice without noticing a difference, then did one that wiped us. Then did another one just fine.

The one that wiped us double attacked 100% of the time and hit for over 400 to a fully unlocked MNK, with a fairly high critical hit rate.

[Thefrost]

I wonder if it is a glitch since my group kills him along with the gears the floor before and have noticed him just as easy as before sometimes and sometimes much harder. One time with all gears killed his hm still was doing 90% and so we got tanks to get on his side like if he was unweakened.

[Churchill]

He always hits me for 400 a pop as a fully unlocked MNK, that's nothing new.

And anytime we clear some gears but not all he's harder than just walking by from my personal observations. The nice thing is, HM won't kill you, and by the time he HM spams, he's regaining, so once your tanks lose hate theres a good chance he'll HM a group of mages and you'll be able to re-establish.

[Thefrost]

I said ALL GEARS and still did 90%.
