Or even a monk using hundred fists. I'm just tossing out ideas... other then what I have read I have no experience fighting AV.

I knew that a zerg could work(posted a few pages back). So close, with a bit more luck it could've been yours.. What ls is this? Who's SD?

Edit: N/m SapereAude right? It'll fall in a week or so I predict.

In the screenshot, I only see 4x BRD songs on Veyronn. I've only been at a few zergs (mainly just Baha2), but we always used a 3xBRD rotation. Did you do the same and 2x songs had worn off by the time the shot was taken, or was it just 2xBRD? Excuse me if this already got answered and I missed it. Thanks.

Good thread this - very constructive. I'm 90% retired from the game and don't really do events anymore, but it's still an interesting read.

[Caclax]

if only4 songs 2x haste 2x accuracy for kc is sufficient attack will add a little but its not /that/ important

[Midnightjade]

Yes, I'm just thinking that they got so close - really good effort.

Tuning up the details and a little bit of luck might be enough for the win.

But it is not practical.

SA was incredibly lucky that it didn't wreck them right away, this wasnt an average zerg, this was one with incredible amounts of luck. Trying to use this as the "AV strategy" is a dice roll, with the odds being slim to none, if any at all.

I think people are just trying to get it dead anyway, anyhow for the moment. We definitely need the real strategy, but it will be nice to see AV go down in the meantime.

Agree with this sentiment fully. I do concede though that it would be nice to see someone get lucky enough to completely zerg kill one and essentially give the middle finger to SE.

[Aksannyi]

With enough attempts, it's sure to happen.

But they'll fucking nerf that too, just like the wall of justice.

Why not just stick a couple drks on at a time in case AV pulls out aoe rape or invincible or perfect dodge?

Longer you fight, more chances for bene etc.

Longer fight = bad. He's got a million ways he can fuck you up. And even just two drks charmed would throw everything off.

I agree completely. None of us has said it was a strategy, and I'm not saying you said we did, but we're just trying to at least kill it.. you know?

Based on previous "valid" kills of AV, I would think that if this were to randomly be successful, SE will nerf Zerg tactics across the board, in the interests of "UR NOT DOIN IT RITE".

/wave!!!

give me your sash than no need to zerg it!

[Jogikat]

I had a quick question about the Zerg that brought it down to 27%. Did you guys start the zerg as soon as it popped or some time after this?

Reason I ask, i'm pretty sure the first thing it does is Call Wvyerns and its usually a good 30-60 seconds into the fight.

Maybe if you prepped your zerg PTs with songs and all that the moment before JOL is killed, might give you the 1-2min you need to kill it without any 2hr hassle.

[Lyn]

We had a mule keep it up for us as soon as it popped while everyone changed jobs.

[Weeks]

I had a sneaking suspicion after the first reports of AV fights were going that this was all intentional. Zerg it and pray for a lucky win. Square still hasn't come to terms with gear progression, and I don't think they want this mob on farming status ever.
