Fighting it again in about an hour, I'll let ya know..

[shepardG]

Fuck that shit up LT.

[jimbobsonofgod]

Well if you think about it, maybe SE didn't expect us to zerg crour so damn fast with our exp burns, in which case 8K crour would have actually been a pretty nice sum of points.

Considering the fact that the armor only costs like 20Kish crour, I wouldn't put it past SE to think 8K crour is an epic reward.

Remember a month ago when the fastest way to build crour fast was the willow rod quest, getting you a whopping 1~2K crour an hour?

At that point in time 8K crour would have been awesome

2 mil temp item says that square had a pretty good idea we'd build cruor pretty fast ....

Or they expected us to spend a year farming crour to get the item and take down whatever the hell monster will require it, vs a month tops of exp farming.

[miokomioko]

No monsters require it. It's a 3-minutes god-mode drink. They expect people to eventually afford it and drink it to fuck shit up.

[Kalasin]

Quetzalli was up on Valefor, but it depopped before we could take any screenshots lol.

[Fou-Lu]

1% Glavoid, hit damage wall and BW brought back up.. Raged on us and became invincible to pretty much all things beyond excal procs. Reset the rage, started again, back at 22%, will update when done.

Fuck this guy.

edit: Get's a Stoneskin effect every time it TPs (or casts?) that is based on the amount of HP he absorbed between the last TP move and current. Disgorge as already known, takes all absorbed damage from previous Gorge and adds it to the base damage of Disgorge and splits between current targets.

DOES build resistance to stun. Shadowbind works.

Blood weapon is more than hate reset, it seems to be hate wipe + gives a set amount of emnity to some person in the alliance (cant just pull off).

[Evane]

If Shadowbind works on him, is it possible to SB him during BW and staying close enough not to get drawn-in (in case he does draw-in) but far enough not to get hit?

[Neosutra]

Yes, it works well.

10% again. Still working.

[Neosutra]

1%...

[Neosutra]

Win. Pics incoming.

[Iremire]

where are the pics?!

[Evane]

Congratulations! Brisk'd?

As most that have fought know, it's really easy for the first 75%.

Disgorge will add the damage from the previous Gorge, but is usually managable. That last one in the below pic did 3k damage to all 3 people in range, and was around 10% hp. Not sure if super one based on HP, or he just had a shit ton of HP saved up to spit back out..

Shadowbound and held for a bit till recovered.

Got it to 1% first time, then as we were trying to push through it's last bit of SS it BW -> got back up to 5% again -> Raged. Became nearly invulnerable at that point.

We had everyone leave/get new stones and held it at 50% and then came back and took it down. Resulting in:

As stated, gains a SS based on the amount of HP it absorbed between last TP move (and every time it BWs), and the obvious damage absorbtion/reduction by action makes him pretty interesting.

We had a Rng party and a Smn party, as well as 2 excal/aegis plds for damage (and a lolSam meleeing). Damage was fine, but it was TPing a lot at last 25%, recommend not feeding it so much TP. We swapped to 2 parties of Smns (and the plds/sam) for recovery and it went much smoother.

Sam did between 500 and 900 damage Gekkos, good damage, easy to time during casting, just need to turn when it's WSing. Smn damage was good, blm was decent, but need to be careful on timing.

Excal was good, but healed a lot too.

Tough fight, long night. Grats to TP on his new Asuran WS piece!

[bechyni]

Glad we killed that;; hate that worm so much

Whoever gets 50 Glavoid Shells first wins the game.

Edit: How long did it take you to get it from 50% to 0% the second time? Looking at 100min fight?

Can kill in under an hour if you arent feeding it absorbs (Every bit of damage it absorbs is quadrupled (because it doubles damage taken in absorbs + it adds that damage to it's Stoneskin after the next TP move. So a mistimed WS that was going to do 500 damage, will heal it for 1000 damage, and add 1000 hp to it's next SS..). Took about 30 min to take back from 50-0 after we reset rage.

Yeah that was our problem too. Even with only 3 sams for DD we'd get it to 30% in about 30min, then spend the other 30min going back and fourth between 15 and 30%. Seems the true key to this fight is limiting the amount it absorbs and having enough firepower to break w/e SS it gets and keep the DD flowing.

The BW hate reset never seemed to be that huge of a problem until it had such a huge SS that we couldn't damage it in time and get hate back, then again imo we did very poorly turning in time to avoid the absorbs. If timing is perfect it should be a lot easier.

[Salmijr]

That puts you guys at 1/3? Trying to guage the difficulty.
