87% manafont ;;

[psnsonixx]

not 5 minutes after I post that we eat a manafont meteor.. son of a bitch.. we held it about 45 min.. only reason it took so long is it was earthdays and we only used stone heh..

basically we kept to element of day, and casted stone 1, stone 4.. over and over

12 blm

3 pld brd brd whm

and alot of outside whms to keep the plds up.. was simple, a little rough at times, but the constant dmg of the element was keeping it calm.. I'll try and look to see if somebody screwed up and did another element .. its possible.

sorry for getting hopes up.

were recovering.. its 88% now.. most of us up..

[Neosutra]

Can you please log/respond with the last 3-4 2 hours it used before manafont, and the player actions in that time.

As well as your response to each AV 2 hour.

(When you get free time).

sonofabitch.. its a bunch of jps and americans, and the communication sucks.. mostly jp.. and they let it frickin regen.. probably 30 of them standing around coulda held it .. they WERE fighting it before.. were not doing this as "A linkshell" more of as a server.. I haven't slept in 30 hours it happened to pop after nidhogg, so I went to give support.. so really, its 90% jp and 10% usa.. nice to see everyone get along and work together with no regard for drops.. just wanna win.... but i guess not..........

probably woulda done better on thunder day.

[Jedimasta]

At least he popped fairly early in the Vana week so you don't get screwed with spamming Bio and Dia
Go go Watersday!

[psnsonixx]

hahahahhah yeah right, it popped like 7 hours ago.. we been playing with it off / on trying shit.. well the jp's were.. i helped here / there.. I asked them to try this idea I had, we did, and it got 87%.. nothing special just wanted to keep it simple... killed regen, tried to keep the aerns down but only had 2 blms.. mighta been our short coming..
idk.. rough shit.. we had it on light/dark day too.. everyday so far.. but i wasn't here for ice/thunder or involved.

[BerenTebogo]

Would it be safe to assume, and this is just that, an assumption, that the static delay between 2hrs is a time given to burn the local aerns down, and if they're still up at the time of next 2hr you have a chance to be bent over a table?

[psnsonixx]

i dont know, he 2 houred ALOT.. but nothing bothered us.. at all.. the sam 2 hour was zzz for us, everything except manafont... even chainspell was easilsy survived w/ 3 people up there.. oh, soul voice was gay.. but fealty got us past it... usually only had 1 pld get charmed in 2 min .

keep this in mind.. we did majority of this on earth day w/ stone IV's doing 87 f'n dmg.. if we had this on thunders day, we woulda had it to alot lower in the same time... but meteor.. no solution sorry...

ps, we did spam some 2 hours.. dont know how many...

Assuming they dont pop 3 seconds before his next 2 hour.

That would be fun to keep track of: AVs 2 hour time refresh rate, players 2hours that reset it, and aern repops for all 3 aerns.

Fuck ya.

Are you a bad enough dude to run 3 stopwatches during AV?

Sounds like a job for the resident LS NIN / THF only player.

Do you mind going through the logs and posting the 2 hour order of AV and the players, and time between each. As well as info on wether you were killing 1 wyvna/all 3, and which of the 3 aerns were up.

Edit: To Sath: I can just keep track of them all on my head, while shadow tanking AV, drinking a beer, and getting a BJ under my desk.

You sir, are a bad enough dude.

[psnsonixx]

enjoy

(and yeah i got it at 88% because it regen'd 1%)

[BerenTebogo]

That meteor damage looks really low, was everyone swapped into MDB?

If not...lowered regend...damage progress...weakened meteor?!?!
WILD SPECULATION ABOUND!

[psnsonixx]

probably fealty. can't be sure if i used it .. you talking about me? Sonix? Or somebody else.. too busy to look at logs atm.. but yet i can post on bg!

ps no tank gear swaps.. we used full vit/hp setups to reduce dmg.. I took about 300 a swing on average w/ lots of shield blocks.

[Neosutra]

That log doesnt really cover any damage to AV, or his 2 hours/anyone else's. Nor does it answer the above questions. Go take a nap since youve been up for so long, and see if you can remember/recover some of that info.

And ya, that Meteor is about half what it should be to just about everyone in range.

[BerenTebogo]

probably fealty. can't be sure if i used it .. you talking about me? Sonix? Or somebody else.. too busy to look at logs atm.. but yet i can post on bg!

I see a ton of 1k - 1.8k as opposed to the usual 2500 all around and 1 PLD fealty'd.

It really looks like it was universally lowered damage.

[Neosutra]

Not to mention you guys were lucky enough to get the "comet" warning and no one said "OH FUCK" and made everyone run like the wind.

[psnsonixx]

hm, well thats good that its lowered .. didnt notice, its a busy fight.. and like I said there's so many people who dont play together.. we can't do the run like shit when meteor's coming.. jp can't understand basic add me to the f'n alliance instructions..

just some testing, we didn't expect to win w/ randoms.. but VERY happy about 87%.. I dont know how ruke's ls got it to 79%, I find it very impressive.
