I have done the scorpion a handful of times already. Our Set up was PLD, THF, RDM, all of which are well geared. Really easy to kill if you don't get an unlucky mighty strikes tp move on you. Death Scissors hit our PLD for 1400. Also make sure you dispel its attack boost! Anyways we have only killed in the past. Got Fatality Belt off it on our 5th kill 1/5.

And two Krabkatoas with shit drops and no title.

Anyone got a strat that worked for them on Lamprey Lord? His en-poison was rediculous. The constant triple attacks made keeping the poison off virtually impossible as well.

BLM absolutely rapes him. He has very low max HP, around 10kish. Time nuke did the trick pretty well.

We used dual pld tanks, had what I'm assuming was Slow 2, in addition to elegy on it. March x2 haste etc. You've gotta make sure you poisona the tanks asap or you'll definitely end up dead quick though. Only had the PLDs with 1 RNG and 1 SMN on it, didn't take much time to kill

Got bobcat belt from Orcus. I took a SS but I can't post it.

Farmed Tier 1 & 2 in East Ronfaure [S]
Spawned Krabkatoa in the present; full drops & title.

Not saying is relevant, was just reporting our experience. We tried the scorpion with that setup + another blu sam and a sch instead of blm, and was going smoothly until 30%, was going down much faster than fly, then he somehow managed to oneshot the PLD with a mighty strike + wild rage. sam 2hred him + SAvertical clave and dead, no drop.
The scorpion is more dangerous due to the 2hr spammage, and need more experience and preparation for a low-man pt than a 18 ppl alliance from end-game LS.

Also, the curious thing about the alternate pop for me was that it was the almost exactly same pop-point for fly, and we got scorpion, then fly again. Maybe is just random, but i thought was curious enough to report it

We triod the Scorp yesterday PLD/NIN RDM/WHM WHM/SCH without any problems at all, RDM had no problems debuffing it and it was never rough really. Feed it less tp, it's tp moves are a little damaging.

It depops again I'll ragequit.

this ^
depopped at 30% for us last night

[Loziel]

i have seen a few pics of the blob nm, but no real reports. could it be 6manned? any info?

[Flic]

tank, brd, rdm, whm, 4 blms is prolley the least i would take, pops adds that take about 4 ga3s to take out.

Hate to ask hate to ask- but what's the lowest people have done T3s with yet? I wanna get Krabkatoa dead ASAP >( I've been busy doing crazy dumb avatar quests and wotg missions so I haven't had a lot to do besides start killing T2s hoping beyond hope for it to change colours

We killed Krabkatoa with 8 people.

[Darkmagi]

Killed Krabkatoa with 8 earlier. Was fairly easy, we had 2 pld tanks, rdm, brd/blm, sch, blmx2, and a smn. Didn't have plds melee to reduce tp spam. Has some natural TP regen but its not bad til 25%ish. Didn't have plds melee to reduce hate reset spam and just took it down slowly.

[Stellar]

Hate is so funky on some of these, such as Lamprey Lord... We just had 2 rdms, 2 blms and a few other dmg dealers and decided to pseudo zerg it and it died rather easily...

There's something odd about his poison. Haven't pinpointed it yet, but I've seen it do over 200 a tick, then during our last fight it ticked 5-6 times and didn't break my stoneskin. Another member saw a tick for 15 / tick..

I started tanking as Rdm/war and took approx 30-40 dmg per melee hit, but the hate was so wacky and the poison so damaging, I'd probably just go for the quick nuke strat.

Maybe you guys can figure something out from the timer and the screen shots. Prior to getting hit I was full HP and I assume that I was healed back to full or close to it.....

So as you can see, I was hit for only 115 damage, then poisoned, which wore off in the log approx 10 seconds later. (3 Ticks?)
I was then healed for 617, leaving at least 502 to DOT damage, with some approximations on timing... This is definitely not always the case though.. something's funky with it.

Sorry If I'm supposed to hide images or whatever, not sure how to do that.

Someone mentioned earlier in the thread actually trying to 4-man the Crab. Ah, here it was:

just did t3 crab with 4 ppl . was backup on nin and forgot to change katanas double stun katana+1 proc`d nice on it so far , but nvm wiped @ 42% due to the poison .

almost locked it for 10% with katanas and biki shell on pld .

That's pretty impressive for 4 people.
Don't remember where I read this,

We popped T3 Crab and with just the 4 of us got it to about 80% according to radar.
NIN with full Eva setup and the crab was missing about 70% of the time.
We were able to land Elegy on it but not and RDM debuffs.
Mega Scissor seems to be like Throat Stab, was taking NIN to red HP every time and resetting hate. It did seem to have a small delay so might be possible to get out of range of this (we were testing this when Venom Shower destroyed us

Just based on what I'm reading, TP moves are pretty dangerous but there should be plenty of DD's that could tank this. I was wondering if anyone has actually tried using poison/venom potions on Krab? I saw someone mention this but nobody's said anything. Worth trying at least to see if his poison won't overwrite your own? (wishful thinking)

[toqabowl]

anyone try to get pics of the new nms and see if they can be used in pankration?

bump

I would love to have a giant crab or blob.

If this in wrong forum plz forgive me.

I posted this on LS website. We are going to try and 6-man Krab tonight with this strat/setup. I'm a little worried about the hate reset stuff, so maybe take it slow as suggested in one of the posts above.
-------------

MNK/NIN, NIN/DNC, RDM/WHM, SCH/RDM, BRD/WHM x2

Basically, research shows that stun katanas and evasion does very well against him. SE also made a maintenance to hopefully fix the insane AoE dmg it does. Given that, I think the strategy would be played like this:

- Krab has a high dmg AoE move called Venom Shower (~500 dmg) + 40/tic Poison that cannot be removed. To counter this, AoE Stoneskin + Drain Samba + AoE Regen 2 (12 HP/tic) + Paeon (6 HP/tic or 8 HP/tic with Ebony Harp +1).
- Stun Katana's proc often (~10%).
- Elegy and Slow can be landed, but highly resistant.
- Mega Scissors wipes shadows and resets hate.
- Tank can wear a lot of EVA to mitigate being hit by Krab. He appears to have pretty low accuracy.
- Krab has very high dmg AoE move (might have been fixed). SCH is there to mitigate dmg and AoE+Cure as necessary to save on MP consumption.
- AoE distance appears to be 20.4' (edited) so it's possible that mages will not get hit if standing in the proper location.
- BRDs will sing Double Mambo + March + Paeon (if poison is down, switch to double March)

just a little correction here, venom shower does way the fuck more than 500 dmg. at least, it's possible to do more:

so don't go fighting him thinking if you have 700hp or so you'll be fine. i don't understand why the huge spread in numbers, but it hurts. bad.

[Darkmoon]

They fixed Venom Shower, it does about 400-600, and the venom that you cant remove can be blocked with venom pots.

Range on it is more then 20 though, this is a large~ mob, so move to max max range, dont sit at a blind 20.1
