the concept that giving up 5/tick damage and -10% mob attack is worth not breaking bind is entirely retarded, especially given i've straight tanked the whole fight on rdm in absolute trash gear

Another decent strategy is to find a couple friends who also want Xarc drops. Probably a group like rdm, thf, blm, maybe pld and split the cost of the glass. It will run you each 125k per run and you'd be able to straight tank easily, kill faster, and sac without wiping.
Of course although everyone swears they'll stay until all members get their drops that won't happen, but in that case just recruit another person.
Here's my LJ link related to my earlier posts. DEFINETELY CHECK IT OUT, YOU WILL GET A GOOD LAUGH AT THE DROP.

It has a lot to do with luck as well, once it started cure spamming, the pld jumped in to try and shield bash and stuff, he got hate pretty quickly which took a load off but it is possible with no outside help, we duo'd it down to like 8% or so before it started cure spamming.
Leave comments if you'd like, im coming back to the game so you can expect more updates with it if your interested (will probably go from alex to asura if anyones there and needs a hand)
Have one of the rdms come /drk and try to stun it? idk, or just save some MPs and CSS him down at 10%. Either way atleast the 100 paid for the run lol.
