Dorp XVI: In your ENMs Tripling your dorps

[drwaffles]

Well I've only ever done Prudence using the wall, but others have told me that it's exactly the same with Justice except easier since it doesn't vanish periodically. That's not to imply that WoJ'd Prudence is at all difficult.

[absolutezero]

As far as prudence, we just kite around island with 3 Smn + rdm takes like 20ish

[Lekotas]

How to kill prudence in 3 easy steps:

1) Thf outside ally pops flee, and pops prudence(with 2-3 pairs of powder bewts) and runs toward Sea lion's den.

2) PLD/NIN flash's(the second unclaimed yellow) prudence and (2 whm +2rdm+brd) keep him alive(using cure 3's and 5;s, but never cure 4s), as he holds hate, while blm's drain/dot/t2/t3 nuke prudence down to 10%.

-stop- @ 10% until mouth opens.

3) PRudence alliance is holding's mouth opens and blm's kill it.

The end. Takes like 10minutes, involves 0 death, almost never teleports(unless a blm goes nuke happy). Drain is REALLY effective against prudence in terms of dmg-MP, when we low man it with like 3-6 poeple we use drain a lot until its mouth opens, for quick easy dmg while kiting.

It is REALLY easy for a PLD/NIN to straight tank prudence with mouth closed, but it becomes very much harder when mouth is open. It attack fast yes, but it doesn't spam tripple attacks like with mouth open, so thats why we do the majority of our damage while mouth is closed and kill it as soon as mouth opens.

All sea mobs except justice/love are duoable by RDM x2(and Hope/Fort/Ix's are soloable for that matter). Justice is doable with 4-6 as mentioned before, and I've done love with 9(though I believe it could be cut down to 7 with perfection in jobs, gear, and execution). Having a sea-only ls is laughable because mages are the only jobs that really stand to benefit from it and while novios are plentiful, capes are a huge bottleneck as is prudence torque.. you need other events to make effort:reward worth a shit. Also, depopping a prudence is nothing new and killing prudence with 3 isn't the least bit difficult(nor is it with 2 for that matter).

I got a lot of PMs regarding strats, so here goes:

Justice(6, comfortable margin of error, good gear/merits expected but relics not required):
RDM/NIN
BRD/WHM
BLM/SCH
BLM/SCH
SAM/NIN
SAM/NIN

Keep slow and elegy on at all times. Sams should DD tank it as if it were a bigger merit mob, if they get charmed then sleep them. On occasion, both will be charmed before the first SAM's charm wears, in which case the RDM should be highest on hate list and easily capable of holding it due to NIN sub. BLMs alternate AM2ing pets, using the halved MP cost stratagem exclusively.. it should be up for nearly all nukes. BRD keeps march x2 on sams, ballad x2 on mages, rdm refreshes blms and hastes sams, hurf durf. Not a very hard fight.

Love(9, can be reduced further, again good merits/gear required but not relics)
PT#1:
RDM/NINx2 OR RDM/NIN + PLD/RDM OR WHM/SCH + PLD/RDM if you feel your PLD is reliable and confident he will not die to astral flow
BRD/WHM
BRD/WHM
SAM/WAR
THF/whogivesafuck

PT#2:
BLM/RDM
BLM/RDM
BLM/RDM

BLMs should be keeping stoneskin up as much as possible, as the first 9 sets of adds(27 adds total, 9 pops) will include hpemde and xzomit.. hpemde will not die in 3 thundaga3s. However, if all BLMs start a second cast after first goes off, one will get it off uninterrupted and stoneskin gives you a buffer to survive. Good idle sets are a plus. The RDMs should build hate without any attempt to do damage until the 27 adds are gone, as the regen will likely overcome anything you can do and if not it's not going to be noticable damage with this minimalistic of a setup. After the regen is broken, SAM and THF should be getting marchx2 min mad and using pizza.. each blm may do ONE tier 4 spell after they -ga 3 adds before returning to resting for the next set. Fight duration is roughly an hour, 30 minutes of which is waiting for regen to break. You may try to damage it before then, but getting your SAM near hate cap when they likely won't outparse regen by any noticable amount is rather stupid. One of your main party BRDs should be ballading both tanks and casting one set of melee songs, while the other should be casting one set of melee songs and swapping to BLM party. Watch your fucking positioning, nobody should be eating ANY aoe that isn't targetted on them.

Your my new hero. Sorry sath.

[stewie]

Honestly, I don’t think the fight could have gone any better for us regardless, and to pull off a trio of Charybdis despite a MPK attempt really shows just how good we really are.

Wat.

Dorp XVII: Obtained - Joyeuse! 9/10/09 - A date which will live in infamy

[Kipling]

You seem confused. Here, let me help you.

Dynamis Currency: I assume you're referring to people posting AB dropping? AB never drops. Most people have never seen it. I have personally never seen it and have been doing cop zones pretty regularly since cop zones were released. Thus, it belongs here.

Hagun: Haguns, while more common than currency from AB are still rare. Some people are luckier than others. Some go 0/40 or something absurd before even seeing one. Again, it's rare and it belongs here.

Joyeuse: It's 100% drop unless everyone in the party has one. (Barring that one weird charby someone posted where it didn't drop, but iirc didn't they all have it or something?) Posting a joyeuse is like posting a ZNM trigger that isn't tier 4 dropping.

I hope you understand a bit better now!

I understand perfectly fine. It's a drop thread and they posted a drop. Do you understand?
