I can't understand why krab would take so long. The thing is really piss easy with the most conservative set up, 10 minutes tops. It can use megascissors multiple times in a row because it it just a standard tp move, at least from what I can tell.

[Afrohatch]

For the T2s, it is just random on what NM you will get?

yes, unless you're a dirty fucking hacker and use apradar, can easily pull up whichever mob you want then, it's pretty handy!

[Shamaya]

Also we tried PLD/BLU RDM/NINx2 on yacumama and the PLD never lost hate instantly during hundred fists,

I actually did it PLD/RDM, RDM/BLM, THF/DNC, THF/NIN, and during the first 2hour, I popped Sentinel and followed with a Flash -> Atonement. Almost immediately (mind you, I'm getting hit for 0's here) he goes for the THF/NIN and sticks to him until he dies, then after the THF/DNC until he dies, almost kills my RDM/BLM mule and then finally came back to me.

I know it sounds like voodoo, but something is messed with these NM's. Those two testimonials are like night and day. It's like with Capricornus. One dude said it never used MS Recoil Dive. Others said once every 20%. For me, I saw it use it at what appeared to be timed intervals every 20 seconds or so, bout 7+ times within only 10% of its HP. And then what this guy just posted,

Also, I think the pugil can occasionally spawn glitched or something. I fought it in the same setup yesterday, and it apparently lacked job abilities. The whole fight, all it did was swing at me. There weren't any TP moves or 2 hours to be had. That all happened in East Ronfaure in the present

Given how vastly difference these accounts are I'd find it weird to say it doesn't mean anything.

yup...this happened to me............the one i solo'd fucking 2hr'd and tried to smoke me. then my friend pops one.....and it does NOTHING except melee. he got blue and i became sad

[Windfoxster]

Yeah, the lack of 2hr from pugil is true at least to me, happened last night in East Ronf [s]. Regarding the weird hate during Yacumama's HF is true too, blm just cast a single stun and took hate till she died ( no prior hate on it cause she died) lol

Hate is just weird, don't read too much into it.

Oh ya, i suppose the depop message due to too far is different from time out? Too far's message is somewhere only the line of "can't sense its presence"? As for time out, i got the "Disappointment on its face" message.

[Darkmagi]

Just did an Urd that was normal the entire fight til 20% then it seems to have forgotten it could 2hr and didn't use 20% trance. Weird

[Mojo]

Ok, some info in Lamprey Lord.

It can only do one TP move, Acid Mist. This form does AoE magic based damage and will go through Utsusemi. I can't remember if it wipes shadows or not (sorry, it's late.) It does Attack Down to everyone it hits and hate reset to ONLY the person that it targets. It has sort of a medium time charge up so it can be stunned easily if you're paying attention. It also has Regain, so keep that in mind if you're attempting any low man runs. I think that NIN/DRK + BRD + RDM can do it. I tried it with this set up but failed (barely) due to not having a complete evasion build (missing Evasion Torque and Elusive Earring) as well as the RDM being very slow at doing any sort of Red Magery in general. Slow, Elegy, and Blind all land and you'll need to rely on them because it does indeed Triple Attack and Double Attack quite a bit. I also forgot to use Yonnin... I always do. Either way, even with Haste, my Stuns were often just behind the Acid Mists. Maybe have the BRD sub DRK for an extra Stun. But yeah, it can be done that way.

Alternatively, I'm sure 3-4 NIN/DRK or DRK/NIN can pretty much just bitchslap it down in a few seconds with a BRD and a WHM. Just make a Stun order for Acid Mist.

[Arthars]

-_- 1 hour or so repop timer on T2 NMs and the so randomly low color change rate is pissing me off atm

4 hours running around killing T2s and no color change is bullshit?!

[Deader2818]

Well, if you are only killing one of the 2 T2s in the path, should be able to move to all 4 areas and kill all 4 and have the first one you killed ready to or already have re-popped.

Speaking of color changes, has it been taking more kills to get changes since last maintenance or just the usual "shits random"?

[Windfoxster]

It is random. But currently a friend of mine is at 0/16 T2. Can anyone beat that? We alternated between Xarc/Beaud/West ronf/[s]/ Jugner/[s]. ;|

Edit: Haha final count 1/26. And the Capricornus from East Ronf [s] seems broken, 3 back to back repop with no 2hr activated.

[fab]

does someone ever try`d to pop t2-4 with campaign battle tag and hp/mp boost or other med`s up ? . should make the fight a alot easier.

[Sylvaria]

you cannot track down VNM under campaign flag, doesnt give you a message when resting

Did this on BRD, RDM/DRK, MNK/NIN, THF/NIN, WHM. On RDM/DRK I would say every other TP move got stunned, and we were pretty fine when mist did go off. Point being, don't worry about stun heavy setups if your setup is simply well-rounded b/t 4-6. These fights were not long at all.

Also, on T2, not sure if it is odd, but worse than are usual record, last night we were like 0/8~9, and personally I haven't seen a crystal change in over 15 mobs pre and post maint.

hmmmmm ok . well ... if only some1 pops it without tag up ?

[Aurara]

even if somebody without tags popped it...and you hit it with tags on you wouldnt get drops...

[fab]

ok nvm . was just an idea.

Mist is massive attack down on all members and hate reset on the primary target. There is no reason why you wouldn't want to stun this or plan on it. Really though, 2 stunners with Haste should be able to get 90% of them.

Well duh, if you can stun it do it. That is why I was rdm/drk. My point was with a 50% stun setup with less than 6 people we did fine. It is not a stun lock or game over situation. Also, I was being lazy - w/o Composure I probably could have gotten more of them because of timers.
