Yeah, same with RDMs Kiting this mother is a MUST

Hopefully we do this soon, since I may change servers soon

I think the best PT set-up might be

PLD
RDM
WHM
RNG
RNG
2nd Voker

My party got stupid lucky

2sam
2rng
pld
whm

Thats what we had going after this holla, I was the tank, and I had 10+ hi-potions and that apparently saved my PT. Also the fact taht we didn't get aoe slept until it was almost dead (which after all the horror stories I feel is what really saved the PT, not my potions).

Anyways, I just want to help, cause I got some friends that have been having a rough time with this. Unfortunately with my work schedule I'm not able to be on and doing these and function at work. Right now I'm so tired cause of Dem lastnight taking like 7hrs from start to finish >< I got like 3.5 hrs of sleep before I woke up for work.

I'm so in for a revenge !!!

I'm sure we will be successful this time with a slightly different party setup.

We will own this boss just as we did at Mea the second time around. Smiley: grin

I will also be available in the evening around the time Balzac gets on.

I'm ready for revenge (as long as i can get some more money for potions><). Assuming that we have a party setup that works properly, everything should work out. The only problem i encountered with kiting is that provoke loses steam around 20 seconds and it hard to stop and cure myself and even more difficult to look behind and notice that I've lost my kite. Maybe a second voker who could take the rains every now and then would be helpful.

Another thought is that when he spams curse, tank and mele take a silencing potion. Sure no more mp for the pld, but then I can take that sickle slash move that pops 200+ HP and survive easier.

sowwy nooben, I wish I could go w/ them as well. Its more fun to try these with friends, even if you all go face down. Its really annoying trying to keep 17 other strangers in line to make it to the spire alive and ready to fight ><

i believe me, eilurac, hito and thrilla are trying again tonite(10-1). i think we need a pld still, and im not sure if the rng from last nite is comming of not.

we had it down to less then 10% health, then it started spamming AoE every 3 seconds untill we died. had there been a rng or smn in our Pt that night, to 2hr when this happened, we would have comfortably won. i did ~400 dmg with the 4 WS my 2hr gave me, but it wasnt quite enough.
but even so, we tried a second time, with no 2hr at all, and got it to about 10% health again, by kiteing it the entire time. a second elemental seal/gravity when the mob gets low should help aviode the AoE spam.

no way in heck will I be ready if we do this again, since I need money for potions.

I still haven't made my choice if I'll immigrate servers or not to, so I still have to sort out a few things tonight/tomorrow morning before I take a go at this

Anywho, if you guys havn't left I'll go along, but I don't get off work till 8PM MTN so...

we talked last nite, after we died the third time trying holla NM(im 0-7 on holla now), and we all expressed a mutual desire to complete holla(the final crag for most, if not all of us) before we do anything else.

i personally am up for either exploration or holla again. but really movolopis and attowa chasm are the only 2 interesting new places we can all go whthout everyone under lv60 dieing constantly from aggro, or everyone having gained enterance to the travanzian region. it just doesnt seem like the great idea we thought it was before we learned about CoP and its new areas.

but you guys know me, im up for whatever. the only other thing i can do is search for new farming, since noobs undercut the price of the items iv been farming by 33%, and they are now unprofitable. i would rather do either evenn then do that tonite, iv got all day tomarrow for that.

well isnt this a late post ... Atrox (Cirus) signed off before I told of my realization that I wasnt going to be on tonight (Friday) ... Now Im not sure if anyone went tonight or not, I may be signing on right now to see whats up if Im not too tired ...

Beyond all of that...

I would LOVE to go fight at Holla again on Saturday, except for the whole issue of money ... Hitokirin was going to spot mee some gil, so if we do go I can prob get in touch and borrow some gil ... I'll go as my RDM, my ES+Gravity will be essential if a PT is going to use the kiting method ... my ideal PT setup is RDM,PLD, 3 ranged attackers (preferably SAMs or RNGS), and or WHM or SMN ... the idea is to just kite kite kite till it gets to low enough health that it does its AoE+Drain attack combo ... cuz at that time the PLD can use Invincible and the ranged attackers can blow off the rest of the HP with their 2HS before the Drain is used. The 2Hs must be saved till that part of the fight, cuz if used too early the Drain will build up too much...

Then again, your PT can be very lucky and survive the drain without the 2Hs, but Im taking my precautions ... see ya Saturday ^^

i didn't go friday, i spent my time farming anima with corrd and neera.

saturday it is.

if you guys go, send me a /tell. ill be farming all day, since doing these has ran me fairly broke.

but the right party set up for this is a must. the combo that eil said, for example would be very risky and would only succed if all 3 were rng, and used EES 1 after another when toe mob hit 15-20% health. iv now lost to this NM 7 times, i can can clearly see the problems with each party set up i have went with(with the exception me me and corr's original Pt the first time, which would have easily won had we been properly prepared with ethers and potions)

you need a pld, a whm, and a rdm, now way around any of these unless 2 war/nin are gonna take turns kiteing instead of pld, which still isnt likely to work well. you need a third mage of some kind to to help heal in emergencys and deal dmg near the end, blm or smn, very preferably smn. besides this you need 2 high dmg attackers, prefeably ranged. 1 sam and 1 rng would be best.
but you will need either astral flow, or EES to win. when the mob starts spamming AoE, you need major dmg and fast.
