Fairy Ring DMG Dealt??

[KeenoOfSylph]

So been doing Dynamis for a long time and have been tryin to figure out what kind of DMG Fairy Ring NM in VD actually deals out. The main PLD in our LS always takes 500-1k DMG per hit and hasnt figured what he needs to be gearing against. Luckily im not the main tank gettin my ass whooped but if you have any insight on Fairy Ring NM, I`l like to hear it.

Physical or Magical. Piercing Blunt...etc?

REPLY POST GO!

Skip him.

Would assume its normal hits are physical, of which piercing, slashing, or blunt doesn't really mean jack as a player. I'd lean on Silence Gas and Dark Spore being breath moves, of which how much HP it has will determine their damage up to a presumed cap. I can't say we've ever fought it where nobody's died as the earlier mentioned TP moves can one-shot people at high HP. Just circle around it and kill as quickly as possible. SAMs trying to Overwhelm WS has led to some amusing death piles otherwise.

We only tried to kill Fairy Ring once that I recall, messed up pull and had a needless wipe. My advice, skip FR. Don't need to worry about it really if you're going to zerg boss anyway. And by skipping FR you have ~5-10 mins (depending how fast you set up/complete this pull) of farming. Some might think 5-10 mins of farming isn't too great, but sometimes you get lucky and Duelist's Chap -1 drops with a minute to goooooo

Is there any tricks in Valk to prevent the boss from charm-ga-ing? Every time I've done it it seems like a 50/50 chance... if he charmga's at start, you lose.

Otherwise, you just zerg and win. Easiest or hardest fight you've ever done, on the flip of a coin.

but I wasn't leading the runs, so I'm unsure the real strat?

[Beave]

There's not really many options to prevent charmga. First off, it's impossible to completely 100% make charmga NOT a possibility.

There is, however, a way to "reduce the chance of charmga" on the boss. To do this, you have to beat the NM Nant'ina which is near kons[tab] zone...and even then, Nant'ina also can charmga you. My opinion is to skip all NMs except the ones you need (only the flies to get subjob back), as they more than likely are a waste of time.

Why are they a waste of time? Because like you said, this fight is pretty much win/lose. I'd rather have the extra farming time, and have just as random a boss fight. Just zerg and kill as fast as possible, hope for the best.

Kill Nant'ina.

As for fairy, skip him. If for some reason you want to fight him... have the pld two hour.

Never got charmga after killing Nant'ina. I'm sure there is a chance, but never happened with us. Double the fact if you don't kill fairy and he has access to that ability.

This is what I want. I think I could convince some more Valkurm runs out of my group if I knew we could stop charmga. And I really want to start farming Tav...

Killing Nant'ina is very easy also, takes about 15 mins max to get to him and kill. While the ally is clearing out the quads in the way have two thfs go get Nant'ina. One will aggro pull and if he links something (Cact. sometimes roams near him) have the other thf grab Nant'ina while the main thf sacks. Pull Nant'ina back to ally for a very easy kill and win for this zone.

I never skipped Fairy Ring with my past shells and tbh, never wiped at it - just once because someone brought some aggro friends, but that's it. So difficult? put 2-3 PLDs with sentinel and zerg him, then bossy is a 100% win with Nan'dude and that

That's all we do now dynamis wise is 1 COP win per week and 1 tav. It's amazing how fast you can almost cap beauc/xarc gear without burning out doing tav. As for city gear, we target some city mobs in cop zones, their drop rate is insane.

[thetruepandagod]

just curious but has anyone else messed with the giant fuckton of stones that pop west of the outpost at some point?

its something like 16 stones and god only knows how many mobs.

[Dimmauk]

Kill Nant'ina.

This is what I do, I just load up MDB and -% magic damage gears. Engage and 2hour, and have a RDM CS stun.

[Neosutra]

All of his attacks are breathe damage.

Hrotti, Crimson body, etc, and dont suck.

Too weak.

[Kongolo]

a bit random.. maybe dark coral can help with Dark Spore??

we usually zerg/TP burn it.

[Argettio]

My shell are 1/2 on the Valk win.

We killed Nant'ina both times, but the first time he still Charmga-ed us and we wiped. We lack the raw DD power to kill it in less than a min (~20 people)

But will a solid zerg set up you should kill it so fast that the risk of getting charmed would be very low.

Happened to us on our last 2 Valkurm runs. Just bad luck I guess.

I never knew what kind of attacks FR used, so I just load up on HP. I'll invincible as I pull it out for hate (because lag makes it hard to pop off sent. and every other JA before all the DD WS). Get yourself 1600ish HP and just have every mage watching you for cures. Normally better to cure you even when your hp is full, because by the time the cure gets off, it would probably of hit you for another 800 dmg already. My ls was made out of a bunch of social LS players, noone had HNM/sky/good AH gear when we started, and it has never been a problem.

Kill the flies, Kill FR, Kill Nantina, Kill the boss and have about 85 minutes left to farm.

[Hwang]

Does invincible work against him? I know his attacks go through shadows and perfect dodge
