Gulool Ja Ja

[konoko]

the past 2 weeks my ls has attempted this jerkface for the title for mythics, and evry time we fight him we have wiped between 1% and 10%

we have been using a tank pt of, WHM WHM RDM BRD PLD/NIN PLD/NIN
Our dd's have been sams (Meditating and running in to ws) and Rangers (standing out of AoE range)

we have been holding the helper mobs with an outside alliance of ppl who want to help out but do not want the title

because of his Vorpal Wheel we have not been enfeebling him, but after 10% he seems to go into a Regain mode and the healers cant keep the tanks alive, the DD start dieing and eventually the healers start dieing, its been extremely frustrating and we would really like to beat this Ja Ja Jerkface

any help would be appreciated, we will be attempting him again next saturday, with the difficulty of these HNM, its a wonder they dont drop some godly equipment, Odin was a Piece of cake compared to him

We tanked him with Nin's instead of PLD, since he does his vorpal on blind only (irrc)

We make 1 PLD stay out for 2h then he enter invicinble and we zerg her down to 0

[Jamofu]

i did this with 15 people other day, it wasn't too bad.

[Bakthi]

Does anyone know whether Quick Draw causes him to retaliate with Vorpal Wheel?

Beaten Gulool twice now. First time was messier than the 2nd. But both was won easily.

Tank PT - WHM WHM PLD PLD BRD RDM
2 x DD PTs - WHM (or SCH), BRD, 4 DDs.

DD's consisted of SAM, RNG, BLU mostly and some SMNs. DDs just cycle through TP dumps, if you have outside people can rotate them in to dump TP or w/e. At 10% just have the DDs unload 2hrs. He dies fast. Last run our Tanks didn't die at all and very few melee did.

I tanked ADDs 2nd time on RDM/NIN which was a joke. Just pull them into side room away from the group.

Both times we got the Chestplate to drop. Got the ring the first time only. HQ Desynthed the 1st chestplate into 2 Imperial Wootz Ingots. Still have the 2nd to Desynth sometime.

The AoE wasn't a problem for you on the main guy? It seems like our healers keep getting overwhelmed on him due to all of his AoE moves on the melee around him. Were the Blue Mages incredibly useful for stunning his moves? That might be a neat idea, keep him perma-headbutted if it works.

You tanked all 4 adds? They're non-sleepable right? Bind and Gravity? Was it a short enough fight for you that this worked ok? We've gotten overwhelmed usually around the time our holding parties start dying.

Neat, I didn't know they desynthed into something useful.

8 smns, /fight

[fndragon]

Just an update since we were successful with this earlier this week; BLU/THF does some good damage to him. SATACA with 0tp was doing around 500-600 with a pretty crappy Cannonball build. Every other minute I was able to do 350-400. All of this hate-free on whichever tank he wasn't looking at. (and then run like hell, because Decussate can and will one-shot you for 1200 damage).

We don't have 8 SMN, so we were forced to tank this straight up, which meant quite a few deaths. Rangers and BLU/THF were our primary damage, and it was dual-tanked by PLD/NIN's. Atonement also helped.

[konoko]

yes as fndragon stated we finally defeated him, SMN's were doing ~200-400 on BP's, my rng was doing ~60 per arrow, and 390-440 on slugshots (when i was hitting, he tends to put shadows up the moment before you hit slug -.-)

sams were pretty useless, i think most of there WS's were hitting between 100-110 (but none of them had /thf for some reason hmmm...)

fndragons blu was doing quite a bit of dmg, and only died once when he got cought in AoE, but never took hate from tanks, im sure the SATAing on tanks helped them hold hate since they were being carefull with flash on pld/nin, and if we do him again i would strongly suggest brining more blu/thf's to this fight, it helped immensly

4 plds with allot of healing support had almost no trouble, he uses Mijin at 2% and almost wiped us, luckily some of the DD payed attention when we told them to back away from him at 5% and we quickly finished him off

chestplate dropped, no ring though, evryones verry happy to have the title ^^

[Indalecia]

Smns shoulda been doing 600~ and giving no tp. What were they using?

[K4IKA]

yeah that was a fun fight, our tanks did a great job. I was one of the tanks and died twice (once from the adds, had to help the others that were having trouble) and second with his 2hr at the end.

Overall just having the right jobs and the right people doing the work you can come out with win!

HQ Desynthed the 1st chestplate into 2 Imperial Wootz Ingots.

Smithing I'm guessing?
afk clobbering ls brd for lootwhoring all the beastmen god's drop with ridiculous lots.

[Valkrish]

what i'd like to see is a screenshot of a plate being desynthed into Imperial Wootz ingots.


Pandagod seems to have synthed quite a few in his time Lets ask him for a SS so we can all attack the 3x NM ToAU beast kings

[konoko]

smns where switching between allot of different summons, trying to find one that worked well, i know they wernt happy with garuda, diabolos, ifrit, shiva, or fenrir, near the end they were using Ramuh, the numbers i said where what they told me they were doing when they were using diabolos

[Indalecia]

Believe it or not, for all 3 kings, Titan is the one that shined. Was fucking weird.

[Fiendishone]

I solo'd him. It was fun.




P.S. just making extra posts so i can respond in the advanced players section and hang with the cool kids. 6 more posts to go!

[konoko]

well next on our hit-list is Gurfurlur so we will see how Titan does

[Indalecia]

Recommend doing him last, the small area makes him a dick.

[Streak]

I'm ready for these titles next. One thing I'm a little mixed up on...

Under what conditions do each of the kings spawn? I've been scanning for Gurfurlur a few times but he's not usually present.

Are they only popped when the beastmen are level 5+ and preparing? That doesn't make for a very long window to gather an alliance an trek out there.

[Arthars]

im sure all the 3 materials can be synthed into imp wootz ingot but i dunno if need HQ desynth for it

i still got 2 of them but wats the skill requirement? XD
