Full buffs and conflux warp costs about ~350 cruor and pops you out right outside of his pop area. He has no native regain; you can back tank it and as long as you can keep shadows up, he will never TP. Mantle Pierce usually took only one shadow, and it never took more than 2 shadows, but again I was using an evasion build, and it can take up to 3.

I held it for about 7~10 minutes waiting on our THF to run out and poke it, and it only TP'd once from the odd hit or two that it got in here and there. He, like most NMs in Abyssea, readies his TP moves quicker as his HP gets lower. Meikyo Shisui was never needed, and he barely resisted skillchain damage (Sekkagenkori Gekko > Kasha did over 1k SC damage, taking him directly to ~87%).

Mantle pierce connected once each fight, due to stupid timing or laziness. 1.2k the first fight, 1k the last fight. With 1.8k HP, it was pretty negligible.
Buffs: Rabbit Pie, Phalanx II (3/5), Protect IV, HP Boost, STR/DEX Boost, VIT/AGI Boost

Did you duo it with a RDM? I'm really thinking about doing that myself. I want that helm!

Easily killed with 2, ran in a thf for some TH4 love at the end.

Which new BLU spell gives Para II?

I'm pretty sure there was a post about the proc rate on sub zero smash, i may be mistaken.

BLU? Useful? SE must read BG frequently.

**Darkmagi** · 2010-07-12 11:33

Paralyze2 is far too little to make blu useful >_>

1/1 on this bad boy, how has other people's luck been? Seems like this should be a pretty low drop rate given the stats. Oh btw the amnesia proc is negligible to non-existent on anything level 65+ it seems at least.

4/6 for my LS. Could be that we are really lucky, iunno. Grats nonetheless

Woo, 1/1

I think this and Vermeil Bhuj has a very high drop rate though >_> For lazy people like myself who don't wanna do the stupid magian trials.

Not high enough, sadly. I've done 3 solos, 1 trio during xp, and 1 ls kill, but I've yet to see anything but nuggets.

**Drac** · 2010-07-12 15:04

:/ I tried it on the hill and the only problem was stonega 3 from 3-4 links but that's easily avoidable lol. Recommend every DRK too lazy to do magian trials try this :O

Actually 5/7 but whos counting. We've had pretty bad luck with the Siege Bow though.

Tried, and failed miserably. +93 r.acc on drk spamming acid/holy bolts i was only landing 1/4. with bio up barely got him to 94% in 10 minutes. I think this is my punishment for never leveling a mage job.

**Drac** · 2010-07-12 16:43

>.> I used Drains and would Aspir back MP fairly easily. Unresisted my Aspir II did 201

I did however have a blm and rdm (2boxer) with me to avoid me taking forever to kill it since I didn't want to waste my stones. Took us maybe 20-25 mins to kill.

**Guitarman** · 2010-07-12 16:46

drains were only landing for 40's, but then again my dark magic skill is at level 75 levels. (damn you level sync parties).

**Drac** · 2010-07-12 16:50

Skill it up a bit and make a set for it and it'll probably go better :/ Bring a blm to nuke a bit, those should do 800ish (tier 4) and makes it go a lot quicker.

**Thorny** · 2010-07-12 17:18

recommend every drk too lazy to do magian trials get a weapon worth using

in the event that you join a party that doesn't suck that thing will cancel out your haste samba

**Darkmagi** · 2010-07-12 17:24

Oh shit lol I forgot en-dmg does that. Fuck this scythe then.

**Weeks** · 2010-07-12 17:25

So what is the current only-acceptable merit party setup in Thornyland these days? BRD, DNC, COR, 3 MNK/DRK/WAR?
