Ixion discussion thread

wot u want.

You mean a royal+1 LAWL. The cloak is pretty nice I would say. But like evey other item in this game. Shit is situational.

[Zanz L. Barre The 3rd]

The dagger is definitely best for DNC, but it's still a pretty decent THF dagger.

I'd go Azoth/Blau over blau/sirocco maybe for THF? hmm

Cloak is for SCH for sure it seems.

As PLD's tanking Ixion, budo and I both noticed by either coincidence or some sort of mistake that you can totally evade the move "Lightning Spear", what I mean is Ixion seems to just stay in lets say North position, as tanks or anybody in that north position, can move to the sides and evade complete damage from it. So there shouldn't be a reason to get hit by it at all, unless you are bound, which happened to us once or twice, but other than that, completely able to evade it.

Also the Zeus move seems to be centered on the target and AoE's on him, I was able to run away from the zeus move dmg when budo had hate.


Just thought I'd post this in case no one has noticed/discovered this. If someone already did and posted it, sorry xD, just still excited about this haha

The problem with Sublimation hat for me is it essentially adds 1mp/tick, which is like getting refresh. You can get that effect full time by using a verm cloak anyways.

The reason way Ix. Cloak would be good for SCH in my opinion is you still get that refresh, but the regen in addition to Orochi Nodowa gives you constant 2 hp/tick, which can counter the -2 hp/tick from Sublimation. Not having a net loss in HP is good for certain solo fights. I even carry garden bangles just to try to match regen. It's definitely a playstyle deal and what you like to focus on - I'll admit it's a ticky-tack reason outside of long solos.

Back to is it useful though... If someone offers you 27M for it, it's useful because it's 1/3rd of your LS's next relic.

k, we were kinda fighting it in the wrong place lol!

Additional point of interest about the one on Lakshmi. Largely it is being kited.

[Euphoria]

we stopped kiting it lol, dont lie mak

I said largely. It is held still for a while but as a tank goes down it seems the answer is to run ir around a piece of terrain, in this case, the wall.

In addition to what Darthvoltrius posted, you can visibly see when Ixion is about to use one of his lightning based attacks (Wrath of Zeus, Lightning Spear) by watching his horn. He will first charge his horn with electricity and then ready one of the moves. I found that after he charges his horn, he doesnt seem to move from the direction he is facing. This is a pretty good cue for tanks to know when to move out of the cone aoe range and avoid taking damage from Lightning Spear.

We spread out our tanks as well. In the beginning we had 2 tanks, minimal support and minimal buffs and got blasted by it's TP moves, so I suggested we stand apart so both tanks wouldn't eat dirt at the same time. When more help arrived, we probably could have stood together but we just stayed the same. Needs more Aegis tanks

Can also evade wrath of zeus if you run away quick enough

dead, cape cloak horn tail

[Euphoria]

attacking from the back seems to do the most damage

[Belkin]

Attacking from the front does about -85% damage

Lunarians killed it a bit ago on Bismarck. Got it in Fort KNS. The problem with that spot is theres a very small area to fight in (G-11). Mages couldn't avoid bunching up together to be in range to heal the tank. But at least you could face it against a wall for lightning spear (most of the time). Had some weird instances where it was on one of the walls. Otherwise, a fun fight, though no cloak drop.

SMN and RNG was our main damage. Angon worked wonders apparently.

[chapstick]

Ixion is being a huge bitch here. He'll pop, we see him on widescan then 10-15 seconds later he'll poof. What's going on? It's really driving us crazy. Why won't he stay in one zone for more than that long?

[TripleX]

Safe to say everything but Dagger is 100%?

[Belkin]

None of the items except Tail/Horn are 100%
