Dorp XXIII: 15M FOR BALTS, ALL BALTS MUST GO

[Kalasin]

Seige Bow x 2 and a Creed Collar against 2 Chukwa's. Also did 2 Minico's and 2 GaX's dropped. 4 pairs Sentry and 2 pair of the Dex+6 Agi+6 boots in a 120minute farming run.

Doing it wrong, but grats.

I'm a waaaaaaarrrrwooooolllfff.

The attack bonus isnt laughable either. Will need to test the moon phase. At 38% moon they give 11 attack. Guessing maybe 15-20 attack at new moon, 15-20 acc at full. But we'll see, not sure if anyone else has tested.

thats pretty cool, i wont lie

2/10 on hat, 1/10 on necklace
Had TH4 for one kill, but that only dropped synth materials.

I've been soloing Brooder on RDM/NIN, I pull it to a stone wall near the Geier i think its in f-6/7, theres one wall that has a tree near one of the ends that it takes awhile to walk around that i like, but any stone wall should work. Takes me ~50min on my mules AH RDM. For duo, I'd think thf/nin and rdm could straight tank it pretty easily as i've never seen its TP moves drain much hp.

[Tambor]

We were duoing Brooder RDM/NIN RDM/NIN with a TH4 mule dual-boxed. Just put slow/para on and nuke it down - you have plenty of MP with elixirs/ethers. We try to drag it to a martello if it isn't too far away from one. We were killing it in about 8-10minutes from pop, and that is with me wasting MP cycling through all the RDM spells I have to try and make it !!.

Na dont need to do that even. I believe that fight we did use 2 hours though (Dont need them, but cuts it close if not). Have leader grab the 3 C.C med option (fanatics/fools/revit). Bard SV songs at start -> All 3 melees 2 hour -> troubadour songs -> melees pop revit -> 2 hour again -> gnole is close to dead before brd even has to pop revit to reapply SV.

Just make sure melee that doesnt have hate isnt standing in front of it, so they dont get countered.

Was a pretty good MMM run last night though. Imp. Wootz ingot, O.ingot, 2 Behe hides, Arcane Cuffs, and the Claws.

[Kayatani]

Thank ye both kindly. Doesn't sound too bad at all (apart from the drop rate :/)

Wait, leader spends CC pts and everyone gets the med? When you do the 3CC option, do you get all 3 meds or just 1?

Also, I don't get it, why is this fight so hard? Haven't done it yet, but these fights seem like jokes, so far.

[Nightfyre]

Duo'd Brooder WHM/SCH BLU/NIN. Honestly any DD/mage combo that can keep shadows up reasonably well against a monster that frequently DAs will be fine.

Each fight is a joke when done right or hell on earth if done wrong.

You get all 3 meds, everyone does. Only leader can select C.C med options, and whatever he/she selects, everyone gets.

Gnole can be hard if you have shitty healers and/or squishy melees due to attack speed increase when standing up, or if you choose to fight him near full moon. Other than that he isnt difficult. With our setup (Whm Brd Cor Mnk War Drk) it was very easy.

Most of the NMs we've fought have been challenging the first time we've fought them (if we didnt have much info), then very easy after that (they all have a gimic). Saving 2 hours or getting revits for ones you want drops off of seems to help however, because there definitely is a correlation between kill speed and drops.

[Yugl]

Neo, what strategy did you use for the Tier 2/3 mobs and which did you or did you not need CC pts for?

[Neosutra]

Dont need C.C meds for any mob between T1 and T3 honestly. We've just started using them on ones we really want drops off of to increase our kill speed. Apparently you "need" C.C revit for T4 due to the nature of the fight (PD zerg), but the rest can all be done pretty easily.

Did 3 melee 3 support for diremite (easy as shit, just keep shadows up else you may get one shotted). Using 2 hours on this with fanatics = 40 second fight if you want.

Slug is easy if you do 1-2 blms during cling mode and 2-3 good melees to work it down normally. Heard /drk CSS zerg owns it as well.

Flan is flan. Blm burn works great but isnt needed.

Golem is easiest fight in MMM unless he uses Manafont and you didnt bring a blm (goes into "absorb all melee until X damage is taken through magic" mode).

Gnole is easy without 2 hours, but without strong melees you may be cutting it close (whichever melee has hate will have their damage reduced a lot by having to cast shadows and having a very high counter rate). But again, C.C meds + 2 hours = 1-2 min fight.

Havent fought the others yet, but looking at the info pages, a few gimic but dont seem too bad. Should be at T4 in a week or so after we reclear people for various tiers.
