Grats Nic :D, enjoy your trials~
It is disappointing compared to my Nocturnus.

It's better, but it's not the huge leap over current gear like some of the other pieces are. NIN made out like a fucking bandit with 17% Haste from just 3 pieces and a slew of other amazing buffs, ditto SMN - their Body piece just absolutely shits on everything else. That was my point, in terms of over-all gains, SMN & NIN's sets offer tremendous gains over older gear whereas WAR already had some very good options available to it.
And I'm at 0/Gems & Lanterns atm, but I've already got a static for Cirin Lanterns so that's not an issue (he's an easy boss anyway >_>) honestly if I can just get past the mother fucking VNM stage I'm gold for an 85 Masamune. My problem is no one ever wants to do them & no broken-as-all-get-out Atma buffs. I could probably solo Lamprey Lord on RDM, if not for the fact that I have to do it on SAM and he's about as unfriendly to melee classes as you can get.
grats Nic, glad u finally got em, see ya once i get back.
I've been shouting for LL for like a week now, no one wants to fucking do it at all.
I did get a couple of people last night, but it wasn't a very good set up - 2 SAM RNG RDM. We might have been able to take it idk, but between his Acid Mist & ridiculous enpoison I just didn't want to chance it (plus it was like 2:30 AM and we were all quite tired)
How the christ do you solo that thing? I've gotten used to pinning a little bit from doing like 15 Chasmic Hornet runs but it's SAM. What am I supposed to do? Run around like a chicken with my head cut off between Meditates? I guess that could work but yeah, that's gonna take a long ass time to whittle him down. I don't have the +12 move booties for SAM/NIN either.
Just stand in the pin spot by the lake(http://kanican.livejournal.com/44638.html). It's one of those moving 1 step back and forth allows you to loop it around spots. It's not the quickest way by any means, but if you really can't get help it's possible....
WAT? The only piece worth comparing it to is Aurum. If you aren't 5-hitting, you're doing it wrong. And seeing the desire to do ZNMs these days, it's a pretty welcome alternative to Aurum. Furthermore, the stats aren't bad, at all, and are better than your shitty Nocturnus.
What are you smoking? Ya, the nin set is all-around pretty good, so is the warrior set. Haste? Really? Warrior can easily cap haste and get another what, 4-5% on top of that? I'm dropping haste all over the place on war, how is this even relevant? Have you looked at war feet, +10% crit dmg? That's a pretty goddamn amazing piece.It's better, but it's not the huge leap over current gear like some of the other pieces are. NIN made out like a fucking bandit with 17% Haste from just 3 pieces and a slew of other amazing buffs, ditto SMN - their Body piece just absolutely shits on everything else. That was my point, in terms of over-all gains, SMN & NIN's sets offer tremendous gains over older gear whereas WAR already had some very good options available to it.
So you think people will want to do Carabosse that won't do Lamprey Lord? Have fun, sounds like you're never gonna finish it though, no offense.And I'm at 0/Gems & Lanterns atm, but I've already got a static for Cirin Lanterns so that's not an issue (he's an easy boss anyway >_>) honestly if I can just get past the mother fucking VNM stage I'm gold for an 85 Masamune.

How the FUCK do you fail to a t2 vnm? I had a pt of random pickup people nearly zerg a bunch to death within 60 seconds at 80 alone.
How is ANYONE at lv 90 having trouble killing something that should die before you finish blinking ?
blue box.

Bring to pin spot
Outrun Acid Mist > Run back for WS
Cure yourself (Or use potions)
Repeat
Or you could beg 2-3 BST to throw sheep at it. LL really isn't as hard as you're making it out to be.
Too bad you weren't on Diabolos 4 weeks ago. I was taking Lamprey to the hoop.
It's a fucking leech with nasty stats? I tried to duo it with a RDM but the prick ate me alive (my eva is not capped, about 294 atm working on it. Probably a large factor I'm sure) although the RDM was able to hold his own and could have straight tanked it if not for his ridiculous enposion.
And getting people to help with this is like pulling fucking teeth. At least Carabosse has decent rewards that people will want instead of a lol 2.5% Drain/Aspir earring. Urd was nowhere near this annoying, even with her crazy TP spamming (which our group just ran out of range for anyway). Lord knows if I could just get a couple of nukers this'd be some easy shit but I can't even get a single person to respond lately.
And fuck meditate pinning, even if it does work I don't have the patience for that nonsense. It's not like I don't know how to take the SOB on, it's that I can't get anyone to f'ing do it with me. Doesn't help that most of my friends who are actually good at the game are either rarely on or have quit by now.
Alright, I was wrong. Some how your (inappropriate) use of italics is equally annoying.
Though, if you insist on using them, you should really try reading your sentences aloud to be sure that you're using italics correctly. At least half of your usages were completely out of place.
There has to be another way. shell out sum gil and get it merced. gil always brings the bitches to the yard.
Holy fucking shit how is Malacite not banned yet? Protip: The LL Earring is "better" than any drop off of carabosse, at least it will actually be an improvement (although a waste of space). If you ever even manage to get past the Carabosse stage, I will gladly trash my Masamune. If you can't manage to kill Lamprey Lord once even, how in the fuck do you expect to finish Carabosse? Offer some gil if you must, I really am looking forward to seeing you struggle as well as seeing your HORRIBLE posts.
