SSR Don Poroggo SlotNM

[KoD]

Hey would like any information that i could get on the best possible route to getting to this NM, And a strat used to kill it, will be my groups first time killing it, so any information will be greatly appreciated

Our group on averge is:
Mnk x2
Sam x2
Brd x1
Whm x2
Rdm
Thf

Thank you very much before hand, and sorry if i'm posting this for a second time i did read threw the SSR2 thread atleast most of but couldnt find any specifices on this,

plz forgive me on my gramma

My first suggestion is, if you haven't got the 35 body yet don't bother.

If you have just fight it the same way as you would any of the Zhayolm Remnants NM frogs.

Since you have a larger group i would tag team it. Have 1 mnk and 1 SAM on it with other mnk and sam back out of range with the mages. If a frog chorus goes off have the brd horde lullaby charmed players and send in other sam and mnk. rinse repeat.

Edit: just noticed you need route info too:

Floor 1- Take Right hand path farm intial rooms, kill the crew and Hammerblow - warp up

Floor 2 - Take NW wing, kill the 2 imps and warp up.

Floor 3 - Kill all the gear and the NM Gyroscopic gear that spawns. The room is then clear for you to trade the card and fight NM

[mdkuser]

you have 9 people. make 2 team 6+3. use escape trick for a 3 man team to kill this frog, and the 6 man team do a normal run. the best way would be to go east first floor and NE second, clear GG3 room and pop, kill the frog. Just need rdm + DD really. Add a THF and you can probably poke hammerblow in the same run. GL

[sruon]

That's the one for Ares and Morrigan 15 ? It's a major joke really, takes 2 minutes to kill at worst.

rdm sam brd can do hammerblow, dekka, gyro, and frog with time remaining

[KoD]

Thanks guys for the information its appreciated.
Will use this for tomorrows run,

yeah prolly, just never tried. I did powerdeg with THF+rdm only and took 85-90 minute ( THF solo sucks, cant Sneak attack). With mnk thf rdm you can do powerdeg + hammerblow+ GG3 with few minutes left, and dekka route is faster so yeah prolly.

Yeah, that is the best way to wipe a run, underestimate it. Believe me, I have made that mistake before.

Just treat it like a NM Poroggo and you will be fine, but respect it. It is no joke.

[KoD]

Once again thanks guys for the information Run went very smoothly got 2 the boss with around 10-15min left, got ech floors NM unforically No Lv35pieces Dropped

ITT: idiot ignores all advice and still brings 9 people to farm a 15

[Killkenny]

I've only done this NM 3 times I believe but from what I remember it hits a lot harder than the PMs and it didn't get stunned by Blade Bash or Shoulder Tackle (that may have just been bad luck or day we entered on). Its ga spells will hurt if they're only hitting 1 melee and unless you're galka or mnk thats something that could cause problems. However if you are just aiming to do the 15 NM you will have plenty of time after clearing room to just have your rdm bio kite it if you get in any trouble and the room is huge to do it in.

ITT: idiot ignores all advice and still brings 9 people to farm a 15

Why is he an idiot? I'm assuming that they probably need drops from HM/Dekka/GG1, and if they went on to LAC then that too. In my group, when we need to kill Don Poroggo, we just add it to a normal Dekka/GG1-side run:

HM > Dekka > GG1 > DP > GG3 > CC > LAC

3 ppl aren't getting all that done, but 9 people can, if they are skilled enough. Even if we don't have our most decked-out members along, we can do all of that minus CC (or minus LAC, depending on which we would rather hit).

Also, do you think a group who has never killed DP before is capable of 3-manning HM > Dekka > GG1 > DP? I'm assuming that when you (or anyone) first started Salvage, you probably were not able to do that w/ 3 ppl, if for no other reason than a lack of familiarity w/ the zone.

Yes. The time limit isn't very strict, less people means less worry about cells, and I did it first try with no difficulty >.> The other 6 could do silver sea as well, even hit all the same NMs + more if they need those drops.. bringing 9 is a waste.

Good point about farming the zone twice -- I hadn't thought of that. I just thought it was unfair to verbally attack the guy.

Also, I didn't say you wouldn't be able to 3-man that on your first try. I've never done it myself, but in my group I'm fairly confident we could pull it off on our first try. What I did say was that I didn't think you would have been able to accomplish something of the sort when you were new to Salvage and didn't know the zones/mechanics as well as you do now. You don't just jump into a new activity and pull off something like that.

he asked for advice, consensus was it's easier to split and 3man it than waste a run, he ignored advice and posted to tell us he ignored advice.. pretty sure the verbal attack fits

Why even ask for opinions on something if you'll just ignore them?

[Fridell]

Imo, Don Poroggo is worse then the ZR Madames, every time we done it, it hits both harder and seem to do more spell damage etc, maybe just random but that's how its been for us so far.

And yea, what Ringthree said, it's not good to underestimate this NM, do it with the mind set on that it's a cake can make you fail.

And if the person who needs the 15 is also someone who needs one of the 35's or a 25 from the boss-- oh shit, not splitting up just became more efficient than splitting up.

He asked for the best route and for a strat to kill the NM, and the first post gave all the information that he needed. Oh and look, his run was successful! He did listen to the advice that applied to him after all.

[Thorny]

or have 3 people who need 35s do a seperate run and have a second chance at them.. bringing 9 people is NEVER the most efficient option unless you're terrible and need that many to get your shit done.. they have essentially a perfect setup to split too :/

[KoD]

I'm Sorry, if you have felt that i'm attacking you, or feel that i'm ingore'ing your advice, i felt that i shld of posted my thnxs for the information and that the ran smoothly with the information i had gathered from this post,

I did not want to harm or feel that i was ingoreing, yours or anyone else advice, But i do have to take into consideration my groups abilitys and knowledge of each zone, and ability 2 run a split group, as it may be more valid option for well knowledged/skilled group but for my group this was not a valid option for us, and will still in the furture most likely split once the group has better understanding to the zones we are doing & Nms.

Please forgive me for my spelling/bad gramma/wording, Aswell my reply i do not mean to offerend you or anyone else i just had to do what i felt was best for my group at the time and what my group felt we was able to do,

[Arthars]

main diff about this frog is that it used frog song, which charms 1 target, and if you sleep slow, or didnt erase utsu before attempting to sleep the charm dude, your other DD will die in a matter of seconds.

Madame is way easier because chorus charm everyone, making everyone safe

so i think you should be more careful for this NM than madame.
