Just curious on the part about Poison II wearing w/o set duration, do you mean in the case of a partial resist? Also just b/c I can't really remember from the times we've done it, do the Wynavs despawn when it dies or do you still need to deal with them?

[Aihree]

The wynavs die instantly when ix'drg dies. No need to deal with them.

[Belkin]

Wynavs die. Poison can be resisted much like elemental spells can, but the resist only effects duration.

Yeah I don't think I've ever had an issue w/ that on easier things like Ix's, generally my main issue is someone doing something stupid to make it go through the teleport, then by the time it comes all the way back debuffs have worn and it's almost full health. I swore up and down last time we did it that the next time we pop it only me and 2 others are allowed to fight it and everyone else has to go pop Ix'DRK for me.

[Belkin]

Yeah, I found adding people to a low man strategy just causes a lot of headaches. The way it goes through the teleporter is if somebody touches somebody else with a buff or cure or something.

Example being

BLM nuked, got hit.
I cured them and zoned.
BLM zoned shortly after.
Ix'Aern traveled through teleporter to attack me.
Went from 32% to 100% -.-

I think if you each sort of "solo" it together... if that makes sense, you would avoid that issue. Keep everyone out of a party and have everyone take care of themselves. Nuke/dot zone, wait for it to be unclaimed before the next person nukes. We used to manaburn it in this fashion, when it gets to low %, we party up and time nuke/zerg it. I love applying solo strategies to lowman, although it's trickier to manage efficiency.

Yeah, just... don't party and don't interact with each other. It's like soloing but faster.

Sucks balls to solo on BLM, especially when it pops on you with sub-100 MP. Thank God I went 1/1 on Vice, even though I don't need the damn Cape.

[Xerlic]

I don't even want to begin to think how long it takes to pop this thing solo on RDM. It's bad enough when I duo it with a BLM friend of mine.

[Tsukasaz]

It takes days to solo pop it on RDM.

[Belkin]

I've got it on the first try multiple times :D

[Tsukasaz]

That's because every mob in sea hates me. Especially someone named Ix'DRK.

[fishstix]

Do the PH's sorta "reset" if they havent been killed in hours? like it'll pop on your first few mobs.

[Amok]

I your entry you say "Horde Lullaby and Medusa Javelin from Ix'DRG can quickly end your attempt if you aren't careful". Which for me brings up the question, what's not being careful? Can you outrun Horde Lullaby if the link immediately starts casting if you're at max range when you start casting Bio? What about outrunning Medusa Javelin?

This.

Disband party, t4 nuke and zone except 1 BLM who's bioing and keeping an eye on it in case of depuration. You'll never have any problems, blm don't need refresh unless they suck, nothing resting can't fix.
