Abyssea HNMs

[Hushigoshi]

Took around 1hr10mins, started with 4men. At around 50%~ hp, fish decided to come. She came as brd and changed to thf at 15%.

All in all, can be done with 4 ( rdm/nin x2 rngx2). Probably 3 is do-able but no TH.

Edit: Forgot to add that, mayari came as smn first for zan. Did around 2k+ then she went WG to get her 2hr WC and returned to zan again for 700 at around 75%hp. After which, she switched to rng.

[Arthars]

Make sure you have show all on.

didnt see "show all" on APradar 2

my "show all mobs" is greyed out in APradar 3 O_O;

[Kaeko]

Not sure how it works on AP3, but I sent you a PM about AP2.

[Arthars]

only god can explain how much i love Kaeko

[Natsuchii]

I can't get the copy of Apradar I have to work. Anyone have a copy compatible with Windows 7 x64?

[Arthars]

i'll try the apradar2 and 3 that i have on my windows 7 x64 and will let you know O_O

[Ahkow]

gogogo str +6 ring can i have it ?

[fab]

my "show all mobs" is greyed out in APradar 3 O_O;

you need to upgrade to pro on apradar3 or unlock apradar2 . need to enter a pw tho .

[Cooleko]

Well anyone attempting to do Lord Ruthven, 3men is do-able. Since the first 20mins, the rng was a smn prior and can't time her bps during movement so she had to do a job change. Then during mid-fight, she had to use whm to go jeuno to buy food for her rng lol

So, what were the 3 jobs? rng whm ???

mid fight did someone solo it?

Not sure what your getting at but i want to know what your getting at!

Edit: Thanks for the edit above will Replicate soon!

So for the groups who have beaten Yilbegan and are getting used to the fight what kind of setup, DMG, and positioning did you find the easiest? We tried our first last night (1/20+ on black abyssite) using RNGs for DD and 3 PLD/WARs tanking from back legs and tail.

The dmg itself seemed reliable until the RNGs started hitting DMG cap and healers were getting hit with too many AOE's. It depopped at 32% when we got hit with the knockback move and hate target was outside of 25'.

Kind of hoping for some protips as to best DD, where people should stand, and if holy water works so we don't have another one depop. We also may try 2 PLDs next time and go /nin instead.

Thanks in advance, and yes I imagine there are some strategies from early kills earlier in this thread, but I'm hoping a few LS's have the fight down pat now and can share their experience.

Too lazy to read. Has anyone discovered exactly how enmity works with these new NMs? Mainly looking at Capricornus and Yacumama, during 2-hour they seem to have the same enmity decay as say, Chigre, but all other times they act like normal mobs.

Am I missing something?

[BlackMoomba]

Yacumama doesn't have hate decay from what I've seen. Just during his 2hr, most people bleed all their enmity away. I nin eva tank all tier 2, and just use smns for hateless dmg, works really well. Capricornus's dive move has a hate reset for whoever it's targeting.

The uhm...Recoil...something... resets hate on whoever it hits.

Rdm/nin x2 and rng. Definately do-able with relic rng from their low enmity ws but a non-relic rng might be able to do it too. However, highly doubt i am going to test it, one depop time-out is enough for me. When i did it with 2rng 2 rdm, while the smn was changing to rng after odin's zantetsuken, time was still good with single rng.

We used apporximately the same setup in all of our fights so far. The idea is to position tanks (on the tail) so that it doesn't use the knockback move therefore no chance at depop. It sounds like your DDs took hate and it ran at them and knocked them back? Try keeping a THF with your DDs for accomplice etc. Holy water does work, but not even close to 100% obviously, still worth using though.

Not sure where you fought this but we have only fought it in Xarc so far and it seems to go into a mode (we don't know why) where it continually spams Meteor every 45-60 seconds or so. Best bet for that is just to make sure Shell is up and Stoneskin on your mages and eat them. If you try to get out of range you run the risk of depop.

I really didn't understand the idea behind /war, yea it spams 'gas relentlessly but not enough to justify taking hits and frantically trying to keep hate. Exeter and Pride probably would have done fine /nin.

Oh yeah, I definitely missed that part. PLD/NIN is what we used.

[Nevex]

Not sure if anyone has tried this, but you can keep Elegy forever on any of these NMs with a single BRD.

BRD/BLM ES Troubadour Elegy > Warp > change jobs to reset JA timers > OP back > repeat.

Inc nerf.
