Quick Question: Dynamis Bubu Bene NM

[Eldelphia]

Is the NM Quad (Fleshfeaster) popped upon aggroing stat or upon stat death?

Upon aggroing it. Easiest way to do it is to have the alliance camp to the east of it, on the hill, and have a sac puller shoot the stat and head north-east, sorta towards LoO. Make sure whoever's pulling the NM off gives them a while; it pops a good number of mobs so if he grabs it early he'll drag mobs back too.

[Eldelphia]

Thanks, sorry I should have stuck it there but wasn't sure. Got our groups first bubu win, 4 x hundreds and 16 various other drops

[Zidiane]

Well you could do it like that or..

I do it like this, I train from the Yagudo Nin nm, past smn and past the whm having someone pull off the Nms each time and take them to ally.
Makes 1 easy pull for all the needed Nms for boss.

My shell doesn't even bother with NIN or SMN NM, it's a waste of farming time. Apocalyptic Beast goes in job order for his 2-hours, meaning you have to go through Mighty Strikes, Hundred Fists, Perfect Dodge, Chainspell, Manafont, Invincible, Blood Weapon, Charm(?), Soul Voice, Eagle Eye Shot, and Meikyo Shisui before you even touch Mijin. If he's up for even CLOSE to that long you've lost the run anyway.

I'd have to agree with Korremar. In about 15 runs of Dyna-Bubu, I haven't seen AB use Benediction.

I don't quite follow? Korremar still advocates killing the Benediction NM, which removes him from using it entirely. If you've ever seen Manafont, it's been up long enough to Benediction.

Yeah, I think read his post wrong >_>

[Korremar]

Yeah, we still kill the Bene NM, because usually we'll have him at camp and most of the way dead when he'll "use" Benediction. He can still use the 2HRs that you lock, but they do nothing but waste his time. If we didn't kill Bene, he'd usually have about 60-80% more health to knock off.

Also, the NMs have an unusually high droprate of their respective job's armor, supposedly.

[Snprphnx]

Tonight, my shell didnt mess with any of the NMs at all. We pulled 2 dragons, forgot which, and then the boss. Minimal deaths, and we got the win.

[Terrestrialrage]

Usually pretty safe to pull Whm NM cuz if the fight runs long cuz of some unlucky Heavy Stomp, you wanna have that security. Nin and Smn are definitely not neccesary, and Whm NM takes 2 minutes tops to kill.

[Spekkio]

we usually knock out voidsong, body slam, heavy stomp, and if we're busy waiting for a dragon/ab to come in we'll kill thornsong/lodesong cause they're close. usually AB will have used up several of his 2 hrs otw to camp. either he's already done w/ 100 fists and we just let him bene before blowing TP and trying to bring it down or we just kill it before. one time he bened at like 5% and still went down no problem. just took a little longer. if ab can't stomp or voidsong, just throw bodies at him and he'll buckle eventually. he's a pushover, plain and simple.

[Eldelphia]

This time we did Aitvaras, Koschei, Stollenwurm, Tarasca and Fleshfeaster before AB. This was our first serious run in Bubu, although personally I have Tav access and have had for a couple of years at least thanks to my old shell.

Would have been all done by the 30 min mark but a bad pull on Tarasca meant we ended up wiping to a bunch of orcs which came running.

Drops from Beastmen were crazy high, we took out some of the quads whilst over in that area and I couldn't note em down fast enough. I remember we had a pool with 5 in at once including 2 PLD hands.

Wasn't expecting the win to be too hard, was pleasantly surprised by the pool from AB because in all the runs I did there before, I never saw it.

[Kerberoz]

Waste of time killing any 2HR NMs... just get tp on it and hold back until it uses bene, then zerg and it'll die before it gets to mijin or astral flow.

[Korremar]

See, that's just it though. Last time, we ended up with AB being very close to us when we fought him, and if we'd have held him until Bene we'd have wasted MORE time then it took us to go kill the WHM NM. At least for us, it's generally quicker to do it while killing WHM NM.

[Spekkio]

if you reel it in early, just go for the throat when it shows up. he doesn't live that long so you should be able to figure out if you can drop him before bene or if you need to wait. any way you slice it, you're probably better off skipping NM and just getting to farming sooner.

[Dammerung]

my stone monument ?? and lighthouse ?? runners will sac and pull the whm to the main group.. no time wasted

generally kill voidsong>spikes>stompx2>ab

This is correct ... multiple pullers ftw. Our record is 22 min from enter until win in Bubu and on that one I'd say we wasted 3-4 mins waiting on dumbass AB to get into a favorable position to pull.

[SubzeroDiabolos]

I'm debating weither or not we should try this zone or not, low man linkshell with very little knowledge of the zone but we'll have to get used to it eventually, so would you suggest killing WHM NM or not?

EDIT: low man = 15~ inexperienced players.
