impressive, must be a real snoozefest though

Give Kakeo a few months, and he'll be soloing it!

(based on lolgoogletranslator) i believe it said something about it building resist up to gravity, so blm, or sch would probably have some problems, with their lower enfeebling skill. i won't be surprised to see rdm solo it though.

[Eanae]

Impressive. Especially when shells with 18 still wipe to this. <_<

[Callisto]

It's easier for 2 people to gtfo from Meteor than it is 18. I'm impressed 2 RDMs were able to do enough damage in the allotted time though, maybe something to look into for me.

If you plan to try, don't expect to win without a few hundred K gil.

I have a link to the video (I'll link it when I find it again) which shows them with an inventory full of Hi-Elixirs and Vile(+1). At one point it even looked like they used yag drinks. A friend of mine and I tried without dissecting the vid enough and we timed out at 50%ish. We both have capped merits and much better gear than those 2. Ability was also not an issue.

Edit: here's the link to the video I described above. Doesn't seem to be the same people, but I'm sure the same concept still applies.

So more realistically you'd be looking at 4-5 to do it consistently without dropping a bunch of gil on meds, still I'd much rather do this with 4 RDM friends than a whole alliance.

[Tsuko_Asura]

Appears as if you'd be better off with a RDM to keep the thing under control, and one or two RNG to kill it.

[Callisto]

That's actually a better idea, I forgot I don't know 4 other RDMs who'd I'd trust to not fuck something up.

[Spekkio]

video links dead. anyone who can repost a brief summary?

[Crisco]

Edit: they're under maintenance until tomorrow.
Lol...wow. That's funny they're dead considering they worked 2 hours ago.

Both video's are basically the same thing.
- Each player goes in with at least 6 Hi-Elixirs and Vile/(+1). One video a guy used an INT potion, which is likely he just had it laying around.
- Bio 3 at all times
- Gravity almost all the time; Bind helps when turning it if your partner can't pull hate.
- Each video starts off the fight with at least 1 CS nuke, where they dump 2 MP pools and begin to use the meds to replenish their MP pools.
- After that it's standard solo/duo kiting. It's almost non-stop nuking (has to be to finish within the time limit) with use of meds while convert isn't up.

Both fights finish with less than a minute remaining.

Site maintenance now, can't view it for a while

[Zilong]

I remember seeing a video on nico with 3 RDM/SCH trioing it like 2-3 months ago, and the fight took like 25 min iirc.

[Tsuko_Asura]

Probably a silly question, but what kind of difference do you think there would be between a constantly-nuking RDM and a RNG? Common sense tells me that it'd be no contest, and that the Ranger would obviously be putting out more damage, but Chainspell has me second guessing.

Thoughts?

rdm will put out more burst damage most likely while a rng will put out more damage over the course of the whole fight due to MP issues i'd think.

Would be a lot cheaper to go RNG too, as you wouldn't have to spend crazy amounts on meds.

[MisutoVapira]

Movement speed.
Those RDM's ate meteor and lived, I doubt a ranger's survivability. If the ranger gets hit, it's all over. But then again, skill is everything in this kind of fight. I guess it's either spend your money on hi-elixers or HQ ammo. Having a ranger in place of a red mage loses out on that extra gravity as well... But as far as damage output goes, I think a ranger with gear comparable to what the redmages were wearing shouldn't have trouble at all out-DDing the red mage.

Thoughts and speculation... all I know is, I'd love to try it as the ranger.

Nice vid and might be worth a try. Funny thing in the vid tho is their text on the site is japanese, their text in game is japanese, but their macros are all english. lol
