ANNM Information and Discussion

[hedcc]

not sure if this was answered already but does every person in party/alliance needs the key item to fight these nms? or is it like isnm 1 person can etner everyone?

[Butcher]

Everyone needs to have key item, once mob is popped, everyones key item is torn apart.

[dejet]

i have to say gear like this looks good for PUP seeing the low C skill acc/haste dont seem bad at all.

im no pup though so ya >.> i would not use that though on a real dd job with good skill such as sam.

>.> suck at forums

but "gear like this"
see the key words?

Seems like a pretty common drop :/

Chain #1

Augment was barone hands with DEX+2 on it.

[urat]

So drop wise, are we seeing the same drops for most of the various battles? Star sapphire, ingots, etc etc, or are we finding only certain battles drop certain items. Too early to tell?

On another note, has anyone tested whether the -delay augment on those hths is lowering TP return?

Finally, for the haste/slow +#, I wonder if mayhaps the way its worded, if it will enhance the effect of haste, IE with haste+1 getting haste cast on you will enhance the spell or something. Mayhaps someone should GM and ask them if there's a difference between haste +1 and haste +1%, since I haven't ever seen it written that way before...

Someone already tested it and found out Haste+1 = Haste+1%. Your other idea was not tested, but I doubt that would be the case.

I'm tempted to say that all battlefields share same loot pool depending on their level cap, we're seeing Star Sapphires in all the 75 ones etc.

As for augments, they are probably zone-dependant.

And 60 caps probably got the crap drops, just like ISNM.

[miokomioko]

Are people still bewildered by the lack of percent signs in the augmented stats? Apart from SE writing them out with actual #% data on the ACP website, they have been tested... It's as simple as SE decided, for one reason or another, to not have "%" at the end of augmented stats. That is allllllllll.

Tried to do Grauberg 1 tonight, took 6 people, BLM WHM BRD PLD WAR SAM, we wiped after taking down 4 Hippo's, 1 of the breath moves wiped out the PLD.

Spawns 6 Hippo's and 1 Wyvern, damage was low on the PLD until the breath hit.

Hippo's Hit a WAR for around 80-100 damage when shadows were down, as it's capped at 70, they were down more than up.

Wyvern hit WAR for 200+

Sorry if this has been posted before.

The additional effect curse from the melee hits of the Funguar in Crawler's Nest is terrible. It's just like Chaos Blade from a dahak. Just as an fyi.

Yep, took our PLDs hp from 1500 to 150

I noticed that wyvern uses a diffrent type of breath attack i had not seen before.. i don't know if its native to the wyverns in grauberg.. anyway it's called Chaos Breath and it hit way harder than radiant breath.

[Silenka]

Did the Tiger one today with 7 people, had a PLD hold the main tiger while DDs killed off the extra ones. Main tiger just stood there and roared over and over, so it was an easy fight. Didn't get any kind of sleep resist on the extras, the tigers slept for a full proper ES sleepgaII duration.

Got a crappily augmented gully from the augment chest, and a khroma ore was the only loot worth noting from the item chest.

[Caiti]

Just tried to 7-man the Vunkerl Inlet ANNM (don't think there's been any info on it yet)

Basically the easiest way I can describe it - don't bother trying to low man it, seriously.

It's 6 Gigas MNK + 1 Gigas with horns BLM that couldn't be silenced easily (our RDM had AF+1 body so was missing the nq) The BLM had ice spikes which sucked, we had 2 PLD/WAR as tanks + BLU/NIN and SAM/WAR as to kill adds.

The MNKs slept first at fine but resisted Sleepga from BLM after 2nd or 3rd round. Adds have decent HP. CA Frenetic rip did about 30% BLM leader spams nasty Blizzard based spells and Blizzard based TP moves.

Glacial Blow was 700+ damage single target
Moribund Hack was 750+ damage AoE

Don't know about stun - BLM was too busy sleeping to really try. I assume it's like the rest and it builds resistance quickly (mandragora and deathcap both 100% resisted head butt after some time)

Main problem was the Gigas resisting sleepga but honestly the boss hits like a fucking truck so I don't know how to handle that. Maybe NIN/WAR with dmg-% gear?

Either way we got fucked pretty hard, also got fucked in Crawler's Nest, the boss seemed to go ZNM chigoe on our tank at under 60% any suggestions on how to handle that with repops in the room? Took adds down no problem but en-curse + en-everything and unable to kite kinda really sucked.


Edit: AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH @ posting from wrong PC again. This is Sath

[Kerberoz]

Repops in CN don't link or aggro afaik.

Not sure though, we did it Friday and it was easy, then yesterday it seemed to be in rage mode or something, spamming encurse effects which brought our tank to 100HP.

[Ramzii]

Yep, that's what exactly happened to us, and that's when we got ass raped

[BerenTebogo]

Yeah our PLD says it was pretty much non-stop Triple Attacking much like the Chigre NM with the same effects. Enpoison -> Encurse -> Enfuckyouintheass.

I was on BLU and head butt started resisting very quickly with full physical potency, full skill merits, and pretty beast gear (was my wife's account, not my gimp new shitty account)

[eva00r]

7 men Peiste x 7 Pashhow, not really hard.

I think most places are do-able by 5-6.

[hedcc]

just did lvl 75 batalia crawlers and meriphitaud, pretty easy, except the meriphi those gnats were waking up very early and were very resistant, did this with 8 people, pld/nin sam/war sam/nin brd rdm whm sch blm, il post pics of the super fail augmented items
