The AV Videos: READ THE -OP- AND THREAD BEFORE POSTING!

[Zekyr]

well, we were gonna try the 2 hr when it 2 hr's thing; however, didn't have the right jobs in alliance, and started prematurely. i'm not even 100% sure what we're supposed to do, everyone 2 hr the second it 2 hrs? certain jobs 2 hr? just the job of the 2 hr? anyway, gonna raise up and see what we can do lol.. but i didn't read this whole thread and the video wasn't very clear on what to do

Try that out. I think that and the elemental magic of the current day is the only solid basis to start with.

Can see it now:

AV uses Chainspell.
Cue 20 2hrs going off.
AV uses Meteor regardless.
Everyone dies.
Clynt: least i got chiken

[Fou-Lu]

The way in which you are performing is incorrect.

[Tajin]

Did you do any damage at all? Was it Aeroga IV - Meteor? lol WHM deleveling >.>

[Lasareth]

Having a plan is always nice. If you want to see if 2hrs even do anything, I'd suggest having as many people as you can 2hr on his first 2hr. It'd be a waste yeah but it'd help you know that something is happening. After that point you could do weird stuff, like 2hr according to some plan (the jobs the aerns pop as, or maybe the 3 job combos the dynamis attestation NMs have, for shits n giggles).

Appreciate that you guys were anxious to be the first to try it, though

edit: like i said, didn't have a blm in alliance for when it did manafont, etc. for whatever reason, i was gonna chainspell when it did but it didn't, gonna redo parties and see what we can do <_< lol

My guess would be get anything that you don't want it to be using in the alliance.

One each of BLM RDM WHM DRK MNK at the least would probably help.

at the risk of being 'zamed, ki'd, banned or whatever you want to call it, i've been following this thread since it was 2 pages long at about 7am this morning, and here's my take on the koenig/earth staff conundrum. is it possible for a shield to block when a character is stunned? i ask because in the video we frequently see AV use that aoe stun/def down move(the name escapes me, i think its called impact stream), and in that event, i would think that no amount of MDB, shield skill or emnity would matter, but rather, you're getting buttsecksed, and so you want to be taking as little damage as possible during that. it would seem from the video, where again, we never see a single meteor get off, that apparently, his magic is not unmanageable, but rather his melee attacks and tp moves are more dangerous. of course blocking them with a shield/reducing them with a shield would help greatly, but at a certain point, you're just standing there getting assraped and unable to move, and the vit/def/hp of the koenig and the physical dmg reduction of the earth staff might prove more beneficial. i realize this is purely theoretical, and bear in mind that my pld is level 6 and i have much to learn, but if an aegis pld with, im assuming, good gear, just got a medusa javelin to the face and died, that's a physical attack that a valor surcoat isnt gonna give a shit about.

at any rate, in the time its taken me to post this, im sure there've been 2 more pages added to the thread, just throwing it out there...

edit: ok, so the MDB and shellV might've helped with meteor >.<

No, that's entirely bullshit, because gear isn't situational in this game. Aegis/Haut/Valor are by far the best combination of gear for a PLD, at all times, regardless of the situation. Geeez now that we have that settled.

As you can see AV used Manafront. No one used 2hours after... then comet and meteor. So they didnt get to test it. (my filters are off.)

You just tried to say that full timing Hauteclaire was the best option for PLD, 100%

Shut the fuck up.

Edit: oh, I gots wooshed.

Pretty sure he was being severely sarcastic. To answer your question, you cannot block when incapacitated (slept, stunned, petrified, or terrored).

[Belkin]

Did AV use chainspell prior to manafont? Or just Manafont then dicked?

Man, that must have sucked to just be watching and get hit by that.

[Lockecole7]

Severely.

Wasn't schooling, that's for damn sure.

[BerenTebogo]

First major woosh for me in a while, I blame AV

[Leonock]

Did AV use chainspell prior to manafont? Or just Manafont then dicked?

Just manafront from what I can tell, if he did use chainspell it was a while ago and much before the comet/meteor.

[Sev]

I saw hundred fists, and Manafront atleast not sure what else was used.

[fndragon]

With such a small window of opportunity to counter his moveset, let me be the first to throw out a suggestion:

It wasn't me! It was lag!

[Zekyr]

Clynt we need shots of Demo's LS chat after AV hit manafont, for science
