Re: Kutharei

Was just up on Valefor. Didn't check both Jala, but I know the one in the bat/colibri area was up. Ran to the Iron Giant area and it was dead, this was at 7:00 Thundersday. Checked back the giant later and it was up, Kutharei wasn't up anymore. Both at 13:00 Thundersday. Might prove that theory.

Either Kutharei(and other Caturae) have an awful long despawn timer, or the theory is wrong. We've come up with that theory just a few days after those mobs were discovered, and decided it's not worth mentioning when we saw different Caturae(in all three zones) being alive when the giant was, too. So yeah, long despawn timer or not that theory.

Was hoping i could get some info on the ironclad observer. Is he low mannable? I was thinking MNK with sheep atma + a rdm and maybe another? Anyone with firsthand experience on this guy?

He hits pretty fast even with elegy, and has the annoying habit of doing firaga 4> some tp move that can do upwards of ~1300 damage. A monk should have enough HP to easily survive that, however. I was able to(albeit barely sometimes) with ~2200 HP on ninja. He didn't seem to have the best accuracy either, missing me pretty often. Just make sure whoever you have curing is quick about it. Slow, blind, and elegy landed that I can recall. Not super challenging.

Edit: we did it with 4 because we were trying to proc red !! for the key item, but the warrior died pretty close to the start to his firaga>rape combo lol. I was solo meleeing from there. If you go with rdm, you can have them sub ninja for safety, although a voke and a few melee swings were always enough to get it back on me after the hate reset move.

Aerial bombardment resets hate so its better to have 2 melees on it. The other TP move angur (spelling?) smash hits pretty hard and can kill a mage easily. Resists stun as well so be prepared to eat so firagaIVs.

That being said, 2 DDs and whm should be able to take it down easily.

[Xerlic]

Having a stunner helps also. We've done him MNK SAM RDM RDM/DRK. One of his moves is also hate reset, but I can't remember what it's called.

Edit: Bleh too slow.

[Obsidian]

Augur Smash wipes shadows and does pretty decent damage. Not sure if shadows mitigate the damage done at all. From my experience the Firaga IVs were pretty weak. Two DDs, a healer and a bard should be able to handle it without much hassle.

Just looked through the thread for a strat on Ironclad Pulverizer but couldn't see one. LS has 2 pops for tonight and we're after the atma from it. Is it just treated like other Iron Giants and kited? Also, stun it before using elemental WS's required?

Edit: Done Ironclad Observer with 4 pretty easily, MNK/NIN, RDM/WHM, RDM/DRK and BRD mule. Stun -ga's and the only problem is hate reset move.

Random Shit I've Noticed Vol. CXVII:

On Minax Bugard, "Death" seems to proc a lot more on Tyrant Tusk if it hits multiple targets.

Small sample size though, so it could just be random bullshit.

Easily killed at the hill where the Ampithere pops. Same idea, have someone to hold it at the bottom, mages at the top. Stun isn't required unless your dds suck, it's just a matter of timing. I hit !! without any issues.

More random bullshit: I've never been killed on mnk by tyrant tusk, but mages I go with often get Death'd. Possibly based on current hp? Or just lucky?

Best way to pull Ironclad Observer? He moves faster than +25%, it seems, and sound and magic aggro Observers are everywhere.

Tried clearing them, but they repop too fast.

We usually have a blm sleep them all at that little camp, then run north and conflux the hate

Thf are surprisingly good tanks for any ironclad, they all have pretty shoddy acc, and accomp/collab are great for when you get hit by hate resets.

Do you think thf could be solo tank for Ironclad Pulverizer like they can for Amhuluk?

[Plow]

I'm not sure, don't know if his acc is as bad as the others. Put on hp/evas atmas and try it, have some rdm's around in case it doesn't work?

[Xerlic]

Tanking pulverizer using the hill works kind of differently than the amp. His melee swings won't hit you, but his WS will. We did him over the weekend, and tanks were reporting his swings missing them completely on the hill but his laser beam shit was still hitting us.

Check news, there's an official announcement saying not to do that. Specifically with executioner, but it's the same thing.

I just went to read that! this part:

* Although the use of the terrain in battle is not a violation itself.

Is humorous, considering the amount of Screenshots on this forum with GM's forcing people to stop kiting/pinning mobs =.=a

[Vriska]

Is there any indication that Titan could stand up to Tristitia? Either solo, duo, or trio?
