Dynamis - Xarcabard question

[cosworthrs]

My LS has been utilizing some unique routes to find the best path to up our mob count per hour(possible rdm/thm/blm NM's), we currently are @ 64 NQ mobs(not counting eyes/stats) and then the three NM's with 18 +/- people with three timers.
We use a pretty basic job setup(5blms, 3 rdm/blm's, a brd, some DD, a sch, dancer assist, 2 thf, single pld and a whm sack puller).
My question is on the route, currently our order is:
10(solo by rdm)>35/39(timed-aga)>43>55>57>58>59>69>56>53>54>
129>136>135>97>98>99>100>101>126>125>123>124>121>1 22>115>116.

any thoughts on more mobs or quicker route? we currently sack 117-120 to get to the upper level...

I assume you're using the Dynamis Lounge map, yes?

089-092 should be easy to add. Both eyes come in together in pairs, but the group of mobs is very manageable.

029-034 can be pulled in clusters of two eyes each. That should bring in 8 Kindred at a time.

With the number of BLMs you've given you should also be able to nuke the eye wall (144-149) and get the final extension. Have the BLMs target 148 for a timed ga-III, then pull in the first cluster. Repeat with a timed ga-III at 145.

With 5 BLMs, have you tried single target sniping 117-120? Those 4 eyes only spawn 9 mobs total (RNG x3, PLD x3, SMN x3, iirc) and that should be manageable without a sac.

we had that single target thought, but had three blm's sub rdm and 2 were subbed whm, will probably try that next time. did not even think about 29-34 that looks like a viable option as well. We have done 89-92, and might option it in depending on which NM's we kill, thanks for your help

This does not work. The north half of the demons will still link with the south half of the eyes.

Really? That just worked just fine for us on Tuesday. I can't think of anything that we do specifically weird or different there o.O

[Pendulum]

I've definitely taken out half the eye wall with a timed nuke and then the other half with no kindred aggro. Was back when i was very new to dynamis so I can't help you with which eye it was sorry but I've definitely seen it done.

I assume you're using the Dynamis Lounge map, yes?

People actually use that site?

That's the guy that stole all the information from our site, and made his own with ads to get ad revenue lol. He copied our maps verbatim. All the errors we had on our maps were copied over onto his, but he says he "did all the research himself".

[Izzy]

To actually be useful and answer your question, here is what we used to do in DynamisBums. I expect these to magically appear on DynamisLounge within 24 hours:

We started doing a blitz strategy a while back that allows us to spend less time trekking between pulls and just killing. It looks like this. The time markings denotes how much time you should have left in the zone by the time you reach that point:

If you have enough people to split up into two groups, try this:

The quicker you can kill DL, the more mobs you can get after that in the remaining 20 mins too.

Which eye do you target Ehran (from top to bottom of the hill, I assume it is the one closest to the top). My LS has been splitting the line and having a sac puller agro the bottom eye as the puller grabs the top eye and returns to camp. If we can split the line cleanly on the pull, no need to waste a sac pull.

The numbers change depending on what map you're looking at. But it usually works something like this...

North

Eye 1
Eye 2 <<< Target
Eye 3
Eye 4
Eye 5 <<< Target
Eye 6

South

Hitting Eye 2 with a timed ga-III will wipe Eye 1 & Eye 3. You can repeat this with Eye 5, to wipe 4 & 6. We normally start at the bottom of the hill and work our way up.

do the demons still spawn with this method or do the eyes die w/o spawning demons?

[Hogie]

If its anything like the other pulls, it should just kill the eyes, spawn the demons and nothing links. Im guessing like 5 blms but just wana confirm

5 BLM should work. Sometimes you can get away with 4 if they're good, but one resist and the plan is botched.

Seconded.

[Fasl]

Thanks! We have two more Xarcs this month and I will change our strat to do it this way. We definately have the BLM power for the nukage.

[WANG]

029-034 can be pulled in clusters of two eyes each. That should bring in 8 Kindred at a time.

I apologize for bumping an old thread.

Can these actually be pulled 2 at a time? We've tried twice now and they just come as a shit load of mobs.
