Abyssea HNMs

[Shenrien]

So any theories about getting black abyssite when you get a ring or a title are bogus.

Just like a drop on any item, there is a % chance that you will get the Black Abyssite, we've found it to be about 20-25%

[Spira]

to anyone using my visual reference chart, i finally updated it again.
drop tables updated with as much as i could find. made a few corrections to mistakes and filled in some other info lying around that seemed important.

as usual lemme know if theres mistakes

[Lovex]

I've been following the thread and must have missed any photographic evidence of it. Chill out, just trying to help.

Ignore it, that thing gets off on attention and starting arguments.

[Therin]

Okay, we just popped our first Yilbegan and it pretty much assraped us due to 1,000+ Meteor followed up by Dark Star followed up by another 1,000+ Meteor.

Also we couldn't land a single Slow, Elegy, or Stun, and it has a Slow aura and not Bio like the Wiki says.

Is there like, a hard mode?

[Genrye]

which zone

[Therin]

Batallia, present.

the fuck? what zone was that?

edit: that's really bizarre

[Therin]

Also 11,957 damage took it to 87% so that leaves it with 92,000 HP?

And yeah, present Batallia Downs. It was up on the ledge near Lumber Jack. Raped us pretty hard, we were expecting an easy fight because everyone else here on BG has been talking about it being pretty easy but it definitely tore us down pretty fast with Meteor and Dark Star. . and yeah, we were tanking it from behind, and blocking Dancing Tail is nice, but there's not much you can do against Meteor since you can't Stun the damn thing, aside from Fealty.

No one else has had an experience like that?

Do you have pics or logs of this? I think you're exaggerating some.

There was another Meteor prior to that first Chaos Blast but I was out of range so I didn't get it in my log.

Basically, it went Meteor -> Dark Star -> Chaos Blast (screenshotted) -> Meteor (screenshotted)

I was out of range of the first Meteor and the Dark Star only did ~400 which I didn't think was worth screenshotting. . but you can see that last Meteor pretty much flattened us and it depopped right afterward. . yeah, not pleasant.

Always been resistant to stun. Everything I've ever read said as much. Also always been resistant to magic, afaik every group has used ES for said debuffs. Also, wasn't really a 1k+ meteor. It was also a Chaos Blast between them, meaning someone in front had hate.

He has a pretty high regen, which I think has been posted here several times. Since you were fighting for ~20min+, may want to account for the 400/minute or so it regens.

[Therin]

That's true, I guess the second Meteor was so much stronger due to less total targets. Still, not exactly the cakewalk everyone was talking about. . Definitely a lot harder than your average HNM (DI, Khim, Tia, etc.).

I guess it has TP Regen as well, which already puts it on a higher level of difficulty than the above mentioned mobs. We called off our DDs (mostly RNGs, but also 2 SAM/THF) after we started having trouble and it still TP'd just about as fast as it was when we were using them.

[Darkmagi]

Slow aura you say? Have not experienced or heard of that before...

Only fought it once 'cause we seem to have bad luck with that, but it seemed pretty easy to us. Then again, we had 2 Aegis paladins as well, fwiw. Also, Cerb has regain, so I wouldn't use that as a standard for harder. Hell, at least 1 salvage chariot does also? I think you're overestimating his abilities significantly.

800 dmg is easier to deal with than 600dmg + terror, in my personal opinion, as both a tank and a support mage/healer.

[Therin]

We're moving to another zone to try again with a better setup.

We killed it in 20 minutes roughly using 4-5 Blue Mages and a few rangers .Went down hella fast constant SATA Cannonball.On our next fight were gonna use even more BLue's ,watched a JPN LS merc it with 8 Blue's in no time.Hate was solid.

[drwaffles]

It doesn't have a Slow aura, it gains a Bio aura after it uses Dark Star if I remember rightly. Quadav SCNM final boss has a Slow aura.

[Shadida]

We just beat our first Yilbegan:

http://files1.guildlaunch.net/guild/...began15062.png

Didn't ever Meteor and only used Chaos Blast once when it was at 10%. I'd say Therin's HP estimate was about right, but it does have a pretty heavy regen effect. Fought in East Ronfaure, present-day.

[Kirschy]

I wouldn't realli call it harder than other HNMs, just different. Once you get it down, it's fairly straight foward.

For what it's worth, it appears to have a constantly varying damage resistance. (Imagine a sinusoidal coefficient to damage reduction.) This seems to encourage steady damage over spike/zerg damage. We found keeping 1 tank in there was a lot easier to manage than two. As long as you tank it from the back, nothing can 1-shot a tank. -ga's are fairly slow, meteor takes ~10 seconds to cast, and the flail move has a charge up time. I never saw it use any other TPs. SAM/THF, BLM, RNG all seem like decent damage overall. Hope that helps a bit~

EDIT: Checked parse on our last T4 VNM, and it shows ~50K hp taking regen into account. Fight was in E Ron present. 50k HP variance seems fairly large.
