Mythic Weapons Discussion

[Jackyl]

Losing ZNM items is SO fucking brutal.. ugh.

[Loziel]

So did he have his SJ for this fight or no?

If so i was thinking Maat might be a good test subject for some kind of zerg strategy but this new info really throws a spanner in the works

[barber2006]

Solo BCNM

Zahak = Hydra mob, fight 100-95% Then depops

Wow....hydra solo. Number of brd daggers unlocked by 2012: maybe 1

[Kaolas]

Yes he had support job. used /nin.

[MillionDollarMan]

Too bad he's not on PC..If he could record the video maybe people could post some ideas from what they see. SE needs to stop with the gay shit.

new excitement to this thread

since 0 damage = 0 TP, it MIGHT be logical to think that mystic WS is the key to beat it at 1%

he prolly think that SC can finish the boss off and used IW

high chance he did not use the mystic WS specifically at 1% since he wont have TP

but he did enough for us to understand 99% of this mystic quest

kudos to him, i hope he can get it next fight

/cheer

[Sho]

Ahh sorry about that Transmit-- meant something like a Magical BLU Spell or something. Dats give nothing of leeway during the fight itself-- could you ask him if he got some text from Balrahn in /say? Like During the fight and just before he died?

Perhaps something like this JP:

"You feel it, do you not ≺Player Name≻? The quickening of the blood, the life bubbling up within you...
That is the Aftermath! Surrender to it, and know the true power of mine arm!≺Possible Special Code: 00≻"

Pulling at straws here now XD

Said he used TP from being hit so much when it wasn't taking any dmg to use the nyzul ws.

[Arthars]

btw is zahak a hydra?(3 headed thing) or a "hydra"(fomor)

my bet is zahak is a 3 headed hydra and balrahn is a fomor :O

Do you know if he tried Expiacion with Tizona only or with another weapon as well? (main handed)

[Kroot]

/kneel like odin? to show respect

[Nevex]

Does Balrahn say anything at 1% that might give a hint on how to defeat him?
Or maybe like Vigil weapons (Wigthslayer, Swordbreaker, Quicksilver etc.), the uncompleted Mythic ones might require to be "charged" or something with WS points prior the BC fight to be able to kill him.
Can't think to anything else at the moment.

[Kaolas]

He went to sleep, so can't ask him any more questions atm.

I'm pretty sure he did main hand Tizona, offhand perdu hanger the whole fight. I may be wrong and can't say for sure though.


And for the questions about npc chat, I'm not sure. He went to sleep a bit before I had asked him.

That is an interesting thought. Perhaps Dragunov can check his Tizona with that weapon checker to see if it does indeed accumulate points when performing WS with it.

I never tried the wapon checker before - does it show points for weapons that normally do not need to be unlocked, or does it only work for weapons known to accumulate WS points such as destroyers/nyzul weaposn/etc?

[Reapz]

Wow nice try but damn, how do people get there so fast!

It shows all points accumulated on the weapon, and continues to log points as long as you use it. (I remember seeing someone's Destroyers having well over 9000 WS points logged on BG).

[Lyramion]

Also ask if Balrahn used 2hr during the fight - like maat.... some jobs could get a nice fuck you if he does.

MNK would hurt unless he is kiteable or something lol

[Kaolas]

He said he didn't notice a 2hr animation, but he was focusing hard on the fight and may have missed it since "Blue mage Azure lore = too weak so I don't know"

[Dimmauk]

The guy was on PS2? So no WS checker.
