KSNM99 Wyrm - halp~ :(

[In Flames]

As others have mentioned, a fire resist set really isn't needed for this. Wyrm shouldn't be in the air for more than 30 seconds or so, 45-50 absolute tops.

What we do is whittle it down to ~72% with regular melee/rngs/plds and then fire off a SC to push it under 70 and force it to fly. Then when it's flying just have your rngs and blms go balls to the wall to take it under 35-40 and make it land. Hate will most likely be on them but it shouldn't be too hard for plds to get hate back, or you can sleep it in case a fire blast/wing got off. With decent melees, rngs and blms the whole fight will take around 10 minutes.

Cant be slept, but Im sure you just forgot about that.

[In Flames]

It can't? I must have just assumed it was the same as fafhogg. You forget a few things after a break.

Oh and also, seeing as you're the tank, you should be the first to run in and eat the opening TP move. As tobatobu said, you can wipe the alliance if it uses dragon breath, so get a blm to stun it once you run in and you'll be fine. The timing is almost impossible to mess up.

If you don't want to worry about landing SC/MB to get it back on the ground asap, then put a sch in your tank pt.

Pld
Pld
Whm
Rdm
Brd
Sch

Brd keeps ballad/march up on the ground and fire carol/ballad up in the air. Whm uses barfira and pro/shellV, rdm refreshs and hastes (the Sch too for lower recast on stoneskinga), Sch spams Stoneskinga and phalanxga. Then as long as you have some sort of dmg, you can hold this until you win or time out no sweat.

I was wondering why nobody just had someone ES+Sleep 2 it to start. Guess that's why.

Any cheap fire resist build that doesn't involve Wyrmal Legs? I can't exactly get those and im missing some good leg armor D:

[Lilswitche]

I don't think anyone mentioned it, but, you should pull it to the side of the circle and gravity before the SC+MB. It only flies when it reaches the middle of the fight area, gravity + stuns allows you more time to damage him without him attacking you from the air.

Raptor/Dino Trousers are the next best thing... 3/4 respectively. Really doesn't compare to 20/21 of Crimson/Blood but thats all there is unless you can get some leg armor augmented.

interesting, can he tp while hes running back to fly tho? I know his back would turn on you, and possibly allow a spike flail to occur if he can TP during his run back to the middle.

[Goldberg]

I normally tank Wyrm on sam and i take 0 fire resist it really doesnt do anything a fire carol cant fix
Just remember to be unblind @75% for SC, lol
Once youve done the BCNM a few rounds it`ll get easy`r each round
We normally do with about 7 peeps including myself and still 0 belts, lol

Say wuuuuuut?

Rampart is like stoneskin, absorbs a certain amount of magic damage. It doesn't make you immune to magic for its duration.

If you're using a FR build and getting hit for 20's, Rampart lasts a pretty long time. (Assuming you have a full VIT Rampart macro)

Cheap Fire Resist Set

That's extremely cheap, the majority of the fire resist in that set is quest able or purchasable for under 10k on most servers. That's also overkill for Wyrm.

coulda replace mitss and sandles with iron ram ones

rdm/nin brd whm blmx3 or rngx3=win if you know what you're doing

[Liminality]

You can look @ my video on a low-man KS99 Wyrm if you need help on the PT setup. You really don't need many people @ all. It's mostly a BLM fight. Tank PT had 2 BRDs, and the BLMs in 2nd PT were fine on mp w/o the BRD if they know how to play BLM. The tank used a small fire resist set, but most of it was handled by Fire Carol and Barfira. The fight only took ~15-16 minutes with 10 people.
