New to pld, up in arms

[Kurt Cobain]

honestly it's impossible to lose with 1 blm (anything more just speeds it up), or rdm+ any job (whm nuking with banish works even <.<). can just get 1-2 others to kill it while you leech.



that works? o.o

yeah I used it to empty a mule I acquired on the PCC bcnm way back

[Zragnarok]

I saw a video on Youtube with a PLD, MNK and RDM or WHM (I can't remember, but I think it's a RDM for refresh). Just type "Up in arm" and you should find it easily. The PLD sub DNC, he's in full AF1 (there might be better gear for certain slot though) use Drain Samba and keep his TP to cure himself. RDM refresh and heal. He didn't put slow and paralyze but he should have lol Anyway, easy strat and they won.

Always gone PLD RDM MNK. Very straight foward fight, don't need to do anything special. If things go bad, RDM can sleep and everyone rests up. 10 minute fight tops.

I have mnk on my main account with 900+ seals. Any chance it'd be easy enough to dual box them both and just grab a rdm?

Should be doable, just might need to pay more attention to the PLD than the MNK.

[Awoir]

No job but BLM or RDM can do this BC. Don't listen to the others, they just want you to lose your seals.

[Khalil]

If you're serious, you're a fucking idiot. Raped this mob as RNG x2 and RDM or PLD, DD and RDM.

[Max™]

Think he's trying to maintain the "Blm or Rdm only!" mystique.

I'mma try to duo it later with my bud, 2 Pld/Dnc, we'll let ya know how it goes.

Just watch out when all its tentacles are gone. I think it's damage type goes to magic, because the one time I tried this I wasted Invincible since the hits just went right through it. Sentinel will probably be just as ineffective at that point.

[Shinryuu]

I've done RDM PLD MNK a few times, it's basically a countdown of his HP versus yours + MNK's versus the RDM's MP. Basically, your PLD and MNK need to be not-so-gimpy and you'll win easily, as long as your RDM isn't super dumb. However, if you and the MNK die for some reason, keep in mind RDM can solo the fight.

Please tell me this was sarcasm.

[Titanss]

never knew that, I'll have to try that out

[ChibiKawaiiMei]

PLD RDM DD.

We usually go PLD RDM SAM or PLD RDM MNK... we all wear a bibiki seashell, the RDM (me) usually dosent do much nuking until the end. Use sleep time for full rests, and the PLD better be damn good at his job.

As pld, am I going to want to do the full AF type of deal with defense food or go offensive with haub+1, woodsmans/rajas, ect, putting af or defense pieces in slots that don't rly have all that great of a piee at lv 60 (like head slot)

Whatever you ultimately think will help you keep hate better. That will depend on your other two members. Just keep in mind, it's moderately important you don't fall down, so I might suggest defensive gear at the start, when the hits are fast and physical, and DD gear at the end, when you might possible lose hate and your main contribution will be damage. Later in the fight, much of the damage you take is magic based, so defensive gear didn't seem to help when I did this.

PLD/WAR, BLU/NIN, DRG/WHM. Was moderately close at the end, but nothing a few yag drinks couldn't handle. 0/1 on drops.

[Shinryuu]

Haub etc. but also AF feet etc. probably works best.

[ninjafox]

bibiki seashell is good for this bc if ur gonna a pld straight tank it

[Norellicus]

Done it many a time PLD BLM DRG/BLU, works like a charm. BLM dots at start, heals through the first 2-4 arms (Regen is your best friend) and then if things look hairy can sleep and recover a bit...but with two Yagudo Drinks for each of us I've never had trouble.

[Telliani]

I do this with pld, rdm, sam.


pld kites (I am rdm)... I grav, etc, nuke.. sam works on TP. I sleep when SATA's ready, and they go around and around... straight up tanking when it looses all it's arms. Easy stuff, don't break any records, but there's hardly any risk at all.

[Aphelidia]

Ive done this fight before with pld rdm nin. One of the easiest setup ive ever used for that fight (even easier than a manaburn setup imo)

Pld would simply kite it around, RDM landing DoTs at all times, binding it and/or gravity it when needed and keeping pld alive. Just dont overuse gravity too early as it will start resisting when he hits harder. Me, the Nin, I would spam elemental wheel, each nuke dealing 60-80ish points of damage. they add up fast since nin can pretty much nuke non-stop. I would also melee it when it got near me, building up TP and landing a blade jin for 300-400 when i had TP and when it would stop to use an ability so it doesnt go out of range. We took it down within 7-8 minutes every time with no trouble.

PLD just equip standard def gear. AF and earth staff was what we used.
