Vrtra back to normal?

[Shenrien]

You can throw a bunch of drks on it and it'll die eventually.

the drks from cutting themselves or the dragon.

First off, grats Second (and totally off topic), how do you get your graphics to look like that o.O I already do the Regedit hack, but is there something else that you do?

[Avarice]

Congrats on the win, but this is driving me crazy: why are those two SMNs wearing Austere Hats?

[Therin]

By the looks of the screenshot you tanked him out in the middle of the room, or, not against a wall. How did you compensate for the summons causing vrtra to move? Or is there some nice terrain glitch in there that i havent found yet?

If the PLDs backstep once or twice per summon as soon as it pops out Vrtra will take a step forward rather than spinning. That's how I always did it.

Only -Bloodpact delay item until you get summoners horn from xarca. ( -2 vs -3 ) Unless you buy penance hat.

Most likely edited in Photoshop to make the image look more crisp.

If not, I'd be interested in knowing what you did as well.

We killed Vrtra twice in the last couple weeks and haven't had any draw in issues

[Izildur]

Thanks xD

1. shopped the pic (slightly!) lol - but my gfx are pretty good to start off with.
2. yes we worked out how to stop it EVER moving - through a mix of trying a few times and a little luck perhaps. Also didn't have any draw-ins.
3. why the odd gears on smns - my guess is blinkmenot

Your kills were zergs, of course you didn't. ;P

It probably didn't even have time to summon!

We kill Vrtra with (something like):

PLD, PLD, PLD, WHM, BRD, RDM (tank party)
SMN, SMN, SMN, SMN, BRD, COR (damage party)
BLM, BLM, BLM, BLM, RDM, BRD (or COR) (pet party)
MNK, MNK, MNK, WHM, BRD (stray add party)

Won a couple of weeks ago without incident once we started using three tanks instead of two... After a while, two tanks becomes unfeasible because of charm spam.

ETA: Straight tanked.

Yea, but AF Horn (which every SMN should have) has Summoning+5 compared to the Hat's +2; macro in the hat for triggering the Blood Pact, then switch to the Horn before it finishes executing.

if i remember correctly it takes 1 round of nukes from about 8-10 blms to kill 1 pet, and with 4 that means 2 rounds of nukes for each pet.. how can they keep up with MP or did u get into MP issues? thanks

We actually had 5 BLM, now that I asked. MP wasn't an issue, and adds didn't last very long.

I think SMNs may have helped out a bit here and there if adds started popping faster than they were dying.

I'm inclined to say that "one round from 8-10 BLMs" means you're BLMs are either getting resisted for some reason, using the wrong nukes, or not paying attention.

It did pop smns on our first kill

Um. Why are you critizing their members gear? <.<

I'm simply making a point for their SMNs in case they didn't know. Austere Hat isn't bad by any means, you just shouldn't wear it for the full use of a Blood Pact.

[Izildur]

5 blms seems a little low - even with ghorn Im half Impressed if it was xD
