Ix'DRG broken?

[Spekkio]

Even without losing hate from zoning, that's a pretty long way to go without deaggro.

that's also not to say he didn't link something else before the first deaggroed making it a different aern coming to eat his ass but triggered by the first.

If the aerns from room 4 did link more aerns before deaggro/depop, then sleeping these links in room 2 and then going all the way back to room 4 would be more than enough time for the original aerns in room 4 to repop. Mobs repop ~60 seconds after depop and Sleep II lasts about 1.5 minutes. Even with a partially resisted Sleep II on them and considering the travel time from one end of that line to the other, we should have seen new aerns again in Room 4. We didn't see repops from what I can remember meaning that the original aerns were still gone.

I do realize there are lots of aerns between the rooms 2 and 3 warps and since we never saw what happened it could have been new links the whole time. It just seemed very odd to us and noteworthy at the time.

I think it is broken myself. I have killed this thing many times over the years. Last night i poped it within 3 kills. Instead of staying in midle of room and waiting for some1 to pull it it came all the way across the room and raped me and my pld. That has NEVER happened before. It has always stayed in the center of the room to wait for someone to pull it. Has anyone else had this problem? What ticks me off the most is that it poped after the 3rd dam kill. I didnt have to spend hours there killing sht for it to pop; And then it just came over over and stomped my ass for no reason. I didnt do anythying to it at all. Another thing that happened was it depoped within 30sec when it has always waited at least a couple min. before depoping in the past. Soon as i used my reraise hairpin it was gone.

I've had that happen. It's just like Aerns when they RR, if the person who kills it is to close to where it would RR or pop for Ix'Drg's case then it aggro's them, it's only non aggresive in the case where you're too far when it pops.

[Ghondi]

I was on the far side of the room if i was any farther i wouldve been in the next room. It has never agro from that far away. It really ticked me off cuz my ls is becoming lazy and no1 on my servers seems to sell this deed so i was tring to dual box the thing for it.

Didn't want to start a new thread and just a simple question about drg. First off I have killed this many times with a group so I know how it works with the zone and everything plus have a lot of soloing exp with drk. Anyway what would people say is the best job for soloing drg?

Rdm with capped bio 3 merits, Blm, or Sch?

My favorite Ix'DRG story is 3 members of my LS farming it for around 8 hours, then doing the DoT zone, Nuke zone method to take it down, and another LS wandering up there and stealing it between zones. Then inviting us in to help kill, then lotting deed, and asking us to random for it <.<

JP ls tried to steal ours once at like 4am via this method, but they wiped and watched us kill it

As far as poping it is concerned I'd probably say BLM is fastest on a per kill basis but it's slightly riskier than RDM which is slower but more conservative. I dont have any personal experience soloing as SCH so I can't comment on that but if I had to guess it probably lands somewhere in between BLM and RDM as far as power and endurance tradeoffs are concerned.

For doting the Ix'DRG to death I dont think it will matter very much. I'm sure we could crunch the numbers but I'm willing to bet the difference is small. Besides, more often then not, the majority of your time will be spent trying to pop the NM, so killing it efficiently is a bit of an afterthought.

Personally, I'd say it's a coin flip between RDM and BLM. Whichever you're most comfortable with is probably the best place to start. My advice is a bring a friend or two if you value your sanity! =)

[Kerberoz]

BLM is much faster popping, both pretty much the same killing. If I pop it solo I usually end up shouting for ls help though, because it's insanely boring to actually kill it solo.

[fishstix]

I once popped it by myself, but then limbus was starting, so I had to let it depop.
