Has anyone tried PW since the update?

[Starr]

Someone told me Sapere Aude have skipped 8 forms without knowing how and the draw in is a real pain.

[Shuemue]

Yeah, that was posted in the other thread with all the QQing

[Starr]

By me, no? Sevarufag told me idk if it's true even I want them to confirm it but teh secrets!!

They won't confirm it, they will however read someone elses strategy and then not give any info when they discover something new

[donnie]

Were you able to tell how much HP PW chariot form had? I believe SE claimed PW's HP was lowered in addition to its pets.

Thanks for posting btw!

The agas that did get off seemed to take a decent chunk off.

I don't know about PW but something interesting happend today while i was waiting for my LS to gather for Ein.I watched the AV video on wiki in HQ,and noticed that the BLM has his back turned to AV's back.Also the whm has his back to AV but on the opposite side.

That was'nt what seemed wierd to me cause in other threads i've read people think that those extra bodies were there to absorb Aeroga IV.What was starnge was that when AV moved the BLM immediatly moved and got behind AV and turned his back again.This happens @ 2:50 in the movie US version.Just thought i'd say this cause many in my LS found this interesting and strange ,i dont think anyone has brought it up anywhere.

Maybe he's Kunoesque and refuses to stare into a battle

[Cow_k]

Less AV speculation, more PW info to be stolen by SA with no reciprocation~

[Yugl]

Looks like a mule + pack of SMNs could take on PW quite easily. Have the SMNs 2hr + BLMs aga (If you have ~10 of them) and hopefully take out the gears in one shot while damaging PW himself. Since he doesn't regen, an outside PT with a mule can hold him until everyone changes back to ass whip mode (aka TP burn).

^ Until 9 days later he's patched to have a severe magic damage taken reduction.

I run a strictly ZNM/ToAU NM ls...and we've had a popset for quite some time, as well as 2/3 on our second (0/3 Tyger this weekend...)

While we're a very good group of people, I'm really curious as to how many people are needed to make a solid attempt. Having our entire roster there would put us at 30 people, just curious as to how many people would be needed for an avid attempt...all readings prior to the update would tell me we'd need to look for more people, however I was hoping with the changes our shell would have a shot at it on our own.

We will post information after our attempt(s), but would like to know if anyone has solid information on the numbers needed to even have a shot.

Thanks

In my opinion we'd need to see what kinda jobs you have to work with, Jamal. We went in without a plan and not knowing what to expect HP wise on lamps, warden, his new draw in trait, etc. I think with some info provided here, and knowing what your LS has to work with the BG community could maybe help you put some type of plan together. We, I know for a fact, will be much more prepared and have a plan ready for next time after observing behaviors, hp totals and so forth.

Our normal setups for tier IV's have been pld tanked (/nin)...tank party has normally consisted of:
PLD/NIN
PLD/NIN
BRD/WHM
WHM/SCH
WHM/BLM
RDM/WHM

Backup tanks available

Damage we are extremely versatile. We have a large numbers of SAMs, a couple of BLU's, and obviously other melee available as well (WAR/SAM, DRG/SAM, RNG). What we don't have is Kclub drks...we have 3 very-well geared darks, but none have a Kraken.

On the other side, we also have 5 feasible smns (all pretty well merited) and/or (some share jobs) 7 feasible BLMs.

Also, should it be needed we do have NIN/DRK tanks available, however in most circumstances we've found PLD/NIN more succesful.

Thank for the response...I've been trying to come up with a plan, but frankly it's extremely difficult with how hush hush things have been (after the original ventures).

Edit: Support jobs (BRD, COR, SCH) we have capable people, it's just pulling them from other jobs as well. Knowing what to take in would give a good idea.

Over an hour in, PW just skipped some general forms. On Hydra now. Starts out easy with lamps, then definitely gets harder and harder and shit.

We're in totally good shape still.

How many chariot forms did you fight?

[dys0r]

k BLMs and RNGs doing shit damage right now on Hydra, but in no real danger of wipe or anything.

Any ideas on damage, guys?

[Lordwafik]

Melees, FFXI counts ranged attack as a nullifyable form like black magic, so give it a shot.


Good luck guys!

[dys0r]

Thanks.

We have SAM army incoming shortly. RNGs are just throwing some Ridills on some shit till they get here.

Edit: SAMs totally fucking up Hydra.
