New ToAU NMs (Now with 100% more Pandemonium!) pg77

Mojo, what was the marid's resistance to enfeebling magic? Think a DoT kite by solo/duo rdm/nin can kill it? Low man ftw.

I'd say easy solo.
The only thing it resisted in our fight was Elegy.

Thanks you two, working on my Zeni to go pop him now.

[Xerlic]

My group just did Wulgaru. MNK head dropped.

For the first 25% or so it spams Dire Straight which is single target unblinkable 700-750 damage to a MNK. It moves extremely slowly without gravity and you have a huge area to kite, so you can easily low man it and DOT kill.

It's melee got a lot easier after the big arm blew off. At 25% or so it's torso fell off and it was just a pair of legs and ran around not doing anything.

What Mnk head? Enkidu's Cap? Looking through the datamining thread and I don't see anything else,

[Tidane]

Hissho Hachimaki, I'd guess...

Hisso Hachimaki

D22 Attack+8 Accuracy+8

Pretty good for Asuran Fists.

[A-Chaos]

Just attempted Velionis, after spending 3 hours and umpteen deaths finding him, we popped him.

BLU BLU BLU THF PLD WHM BRD RDM


BLU's rotated stun cycle with headbutt, threw in cannonball for 400 blunt damage every now and then. eventually got it down to 15 with no issues since THF TA'd hate onto the PLD for alot.

Once we hit 15, plan was to use CA and kill it. Plan failed when he immediately used the AOE 300 per person drain on all of us twice over. went up to 50%, and we wiped because all of a sudden, headbutt and outside stuns failed outright, and he did some kinda AOE super death chainspell of ga II's...

Same ol' SE BS, shoulda did Einherjar. Glad it wasn't my zeni, lol.

Wonder if lazy people will buy pops for these....

[Ohemgee]

Did him with BLU BLU THF DRK MNK SAM SCH RDM

Wasn't that bad. Got stronger as its HP dropped.

[Glade]

Almah Torque off Claret. Weak to Magic, best to kite him around to the north in wamoura area.

Have the person popping drop and pop him then have a kiter pull him up the ledge and north.

We had a bad set up for this NM we didn't realize it would be the way it was. Seemed that within a small radius of the NM he gave poison that did 100hp/tick. Highly recommended to bring anitdotes.

Dunno how this happen looks like reflect? Died twice, first time trying to SMN burn second time with PLD wiped around 2%. Looks like shear gets stronger >< really wanted the headband

[Demonlord]

too add on what glade just said, it has 100 dmg/tic poison JUST from being in range an on hate list. all of its ws's are different and fluid spread was hitting 500+ without shadows.

great, that accounts for (probably) all of the tier 1 NM drops, looks like the nicer stuff drops off the higher tier stuff (duh).

OP updated with new stuff etc etc

it absorbs magic damage of the day's element (and then by virtue of being a puk is given 100% TP)

Wulgaru also drops Riot shield. And the latent on Riot shield is having no equipment equipped. Weapon/ranged and obviously shield are ok. Everything else took off the latent. Sorry no pics.

Shiva using Heavenly Strike on Shiva is what he meant...unless they never fixed that glitch with Puks.

Probably a glitch, then? Iceday ended half an hour ago and even if Shiva used Heavenly Strike on itself, it wouldn't absorb it as HP.

Just killed Armed Gears, pops at G/H-11 on the 1st map of ruins. It's a RDM and starts off extremely resistant to melee. It will cast an enspell and the only way to damage it is to nuke the opposite element of that enspell. Casting the same element cured it. Predator Claws also seemed to consistantly do high damage, none of the other avatars could do anything worthwhile. It gradually became less resistant to melee as we brought its hp down, but it didn't seem to be because we killed one of the gears. Its 2hr was Mighty Strikes, and when it got really low on hp it used a move called Heavy Armature, which basically gave it 100Fists and a bunch of shadows. At low HP it seemed to stop casting enspells, and all forms of damage worked. It spammed Cure 4 and Restoral at low hp. Normal TP moves weren't really a problem, except for Rail Cannon which hurts =(. Dropped Tomoe and Thunder Grip, got a Charcoal Grey Seal from the NPC.
No pics cause of PS2 =/

Which Enspell did it use?

[Atreides]

it would make sense if armored gears had a random chance of dropping any of the new element grips, it seems unlikely that each of the 9 tier 3s would each drop a different one (as there are only 8), perhaps it works something like Ob (the automaton NM) where it can drop grips at random like Ob does attachments.

What seal did you need to open up the Armored Gears offer at Sanraku, out of curiosity?

That's my guess too, it might be based on the Enspell he uses. If he used Enthunder, Enwater, or Enstone, we would have something to test (either drops gripped based on enspell, enspell weakness, or enspell strength. Or it could be totally random)
