Low man t4 ZNM

[Ahlah]

Do magic damage reduction/MDB gears cut damage of T4 ZNM tp moves such as Nerve gas/breath attack etc?

[Tsuko_Asura]

Nerve Gas, definitely.. But reducing it is really just a matter of holding on to a bit more CE that would have been otherwise lost from taking damage. The Curse, from my experience, will always lower your HP farther than the actual attack will, so it isn't as if it saves your healer any MP.

Pyric and Polar Blast, I'm honestly not sure. I've got -25% MDT and +25 MDB, and I still get slammed pretty hard by those.

[Valyana]

I *think* breath attacks are only reduced by -Breath Damage Taken, not -MDT or MDB. But I don't have any data.

[Tsuko_Asura]

I'm fairly certain that's correct, but are Pyric and Polar Blast breath attacks?

Yes.

[Suiram]

Aurik verified at some point in Dynamis - Valkurm that Heat Breath wasn't reduced by shell. MDB... I think I've seen similar testimony that WHM and RDM take the same damage as everyone else, but don't quote me on that.

Just did tyger, PLD/NIN + NIN/RDM works really well for tanking it with COR/BRD support.

Wouldnt really recommend evasion tanking it though...I got more parries than dodge even with kurayami landing.

What buffs did you have? 2Marches/Evoker's/ and?

[Zilong]

ninja, but it's kinda useless in the fight since he doesn't miss much to begin with.

Evoker and refresh along with having ethereal to soak shit up after a dreadstorm give you enough MP to continuously spam dispel though.

This is the write up that one of our Samurai tanks did regarding our lowman Sarameya's.

As you can see in the Screenshots he posted, we had 10 people there. I was ranger, and honestly did negligible damage, so was optional. We also had a thief there purely for TH4. So, honestly, could consider it an 8-man fight.

I've done this fight previously with paladin tanks using fire resist, and after using the samurai tanks, I don't think I'd ever want to go back. The fights went so smoothly that, baring the inevitable hiccup, it was no more worrisome than fighting any other mob.

Hope this can provide some help.

(We also lowman Tinnin, generally with 8-9, using 2x PLD, 2x WHM (1 2boxed), 1 RDM, 1 BRD, and as many BLM's as we can squeeze in. +TH4, of course)

You should really edit the portion about the hate 'reset'. As I explained on KI, its not actually a reset, his attention is simply put on hold until you perform an action upon him and regain your VE/CE levels.

This was just me posting Shidobu's write up on the fights to try and assist people who were asking questions. editing it is up to him, not me.
