Abyssea - Konschtat Discussion

[Yugl]

All Abyssea mobs follow these aggro mechanics.

I deaggro birds simply funning a few feet ahead of them. Even the NM bird deaggros fairly easy. Are you suggesting that they wouldn't deaggro if I took a convlux from one area to another?

Most NM's work this way, yes. Some lesser NM's seem to deaggro finally quickly but some of the more persistent types of mobs will follow you from Conflux to Conflux. I've seen Adze and Mictlancuthli follow people all the way to Conflux 2.

Any more info on Turul? Possible low-man strats yet? General difficulty?

I know a few things, high level Black magic, a Degree of Fast Cast, Tank from the wings.

fiending for that Loki =x

Killed today, he sucks. We setup a stun order and started stunning any magic cast which led to full stun resist at about 50%. So from that, I'd recommend either only stunning -ga IV's or saving it for 35% and less. As someone else eluded to, the pick move is probably the worst. The one time our tank died it was because pick>melee swing proc'd shock spike = death lol. SMN damage is very nice, pretty sure they were doing 700-800 per BP. If it pops near the sperms pull it to the martello area, they will make your life a living hell otherwise. Very well may be able to just kite the thing the entire fight. We kited it quite easily while PLD unweakened.

Dropped mab cape and -dt belt or cape thing.

Ah, no mobs I've encountered thus far have ever given up unless I've left the zone entirely, but I'd never tried to deaggro birds. NMs seem to follow this general pattern as stated above, as do clionids and limules.

[Fereydoon]

Possible to solo Bloodguzzler on cor?

[Arthars]

Turul is fuxed... it follows you across the entire zone, conflux 8 -> 0 turul in base in camp lol

~~ might be because of alliance aggro as well

not always

i did a few NM with confluxes as well and sometimes mob will find u back to #0. all u have to do is go back to the conflux where the NM is, and warp back to #0 again to reset it

its a bug/glitch that he chases you back to camp

[Colenzo]

is the atma a constant drop? I just got this shit 8D

No. We didn't receive an atma on our kill.

[Byrthnoth]

Check the potency, Colenzo. I've heard 5MP/tick for the Refresh.

[Darthvoltrius]

2 WHM, 1 RDM, 1 BRD, One PLD at front, one in the back so both dont get hit by AoE's, bring 2 sam/thfs (constant 1000-1400 gekkos), Cor in a pt with 5 SMN's, 2 BLM for stuns, a THF.

SMN's were very good constant dmg with the BP's, Stun the Bursts (which turn eventually into Burstga), Thundaga 4's, Don't melee it, our THF got like a triple attk got stunned and as soon as she got unstunned swung again and died cause of spikes, was funny).

Feral Peck is the real trouble, and BLM's make sure not to overnuke/pull hate and bring it to the mages to get nomnomed. Overal fun fight, SMN's make it a very smooth fight.

DT -3%, Searing Cape drop for us, no Atma.

What is the describtion of the Atma? / what does it give?

[Sekundes]

We started off with a half assed alliance of 4 RNG's and 3 SMN's. Tanks started to die early and often. Feral Peck or whatever is Throat Stab that CAN kill you. It will do like 90% of your max HP in damage, regardless of how much HP you have at the time. Poorly time Feral Peck into an instant cast -aga spell is pretty brutal. Other than tanking, it's pretty damn easy. Since we had problems with tanks dying and such, we pussy-footed around with it for more than 45 minutes, at which point it began to rage. Was hitting PLD's for 600-700 damage normal hits, RNG's shot for 0-5 damage, and it was casting Thunder V on itself (heals itself this way) faster than SMN's could do damage. It was strange to note that SMN's still did full damage when it was raged, they just couldn't do it fast enough to even keep up with the rate it was healing itself.

So we tried again, came back with like 8-9 SMN's and it died in 20 minutes. Go figure.

It's really easy to kite around the mountain where Conflux 5 is, but you will undoubtedly rage it whilst low-manning and it will become a pain.

Does the throat stab move consistently kill you or is it just when you are doing an action that changes your hp? When fighting the t2 vnm we noticed that the stab move hp calculation is done before the attack goes off so if you flip your hp, as in a cure kit or other macros that may lower your hp, you will die. Also can you tank him against a wall so his conal aoe's will hit no one like the regular ones in xarc s?

[Nightfyre]

What is the describtion of the Atma? / what does it give?

"wind" acc+: major
"lightning" acc+: major
refresh: minor

[Darkmagi]

How much is the refresh/tic?

[EjinCaitsith]

So could it be dragged to the trees near Kulkulkan's ??? and mana burned assuming you had enough mages?

Sounds like trying to tank this thing is absolutely brutal. On that note, how fast is feral peck, is it possible to stun consistently?

[Byrthnoth]

How much is the refresh/tic?

I've been hearing 5MP/tick from pretty reputable sources. It would be nice to get a few people on here to confirm it though.

[Nightfyre]

If minor refresh is 5/tic I'm gonna shit bricks.

How was magic damage on it? I think we were hesitant to nuke it since it cures itself with thunder spells.
