Starting a Divine Might run (Sept 3rd)Follow

#1 Sep 01 2006 at 3:42 PM Rating: Default
I want to try and do Divine Might this sunday. (Sept. 3rd) and I'm looking for recruits.

My in-game name is Logandraconia so please feel free to talk to me in-game.

Anyway, I have a few plans to do this thing, as well as a few rules.

1) Everyone must be level 73+. The stronger you are, the better our chances.
2) Everyone must be on or beyond ZM14.
3) The quest Divine Might does not need to be activated to participate. If you want to join and don't have the quest activated yet, we'll have evryone needing to activate it do that first since we're already in Sky anyway.

As for plans, we can do this the easy way, or the hard way.

Easy Way = 8-12 BLMs nuke-bombing the Ark Angels with Level 4 spells and ancient spells, while other job types fill in the slots.

Hard Way = A balanced party of people equalling up to something much like this:

Melee: 4 (At least one /NIN to tank the Taru and help tank the Mithra. MNKs are highly welcome in order to use a 2hr to quick-kill the Taru. SAMs are equally wanted)

Tanks: 4 (PLDs and NINs both work. If you're a PLD, try and have an earthen staff. If you're NIN, bring as much +EVA gear as you can afford)

WHM: 2 (/SMN for auto refresh. Otherwise, /BLM is fine)

BLM: 4 (subjob is up to you, but /RDM for extra enfeebles or /SMN for auto-refresh would be most helpful, of course, /WHM always works too)

RDM: 4 (subjob is up to you, but being /WHM never hurts in order to help heal the tank thats kiting the Ark Angel)

A RDM and a Tank duo an AA, Gravity-Kiting it around the arena. 2 BLM focus on sleeping the pets, and the other 2 BLM, the 2 WHM, and all the melee start beating down the Ark Angels one by one starting with the Taru. If there's no choice but to whipe, a successful run can be completed if the Taru and Mithra are killed before mass party whipe. This can only be finished in 30 minutes so we cant afford more than 1 party whipe if we do this the hard way.

I will begin shouting for help around 4PM EST on sunday in Whitegate, which will be a decent time for anyone to join without it being too early or too late. Anyone wanting to join, please post your Name, Job, level, and whether you have an Ark Pentasphere or not so I can try and hunt you down around that time on sunday.

We have 1 Melee already, which is me. Contact Logandraconia for any details in-game.

I may have a couple of people in my LS wanting to come too.

Either way, we still have enough room open to do this either the BLM Burn way, or normal way.

Might want to rethink some particulars of your strategy ~ like most of it >_>

1.) 1 rdm can handle the pets, if someone uses tier I sleep on one of them and he sleeps the other.

2.) /drk or /blm might be good for chaindrain/chainstun from the rdms

3.) if you have 4 blu you're going to want them DD oriented, having not done this w/ blu, I'm not sure which is the best DD sub for it

4.) it would take a very very pimped nin to duo one of these

5.) never hurts to consider a zenmetsu (zenmetsu + win > no zenmetsu and loss)

Um...have you ever done DM before? Just curious.

1) Perhaps 1 RDM can handle the pets, sure. But a BLM has access to stronger sleeps, making the pets sleep longer, giving the BLMs longer time to do normal nuking.

2) Um...Stun gets resisted by the Ark Angels. Always. Ask anyone who's tried, including me, and I'm a DRK with my Dark Magic fully capped and merited. Stun will not work on them. Ever. As for drain, its a waste of time to chainspell drain. It could work, but the RDM needs capped dark magic and he better make sure his assigned AA is still gravitied.

3) I'm not planning to have any BLU.

4) A NIN with decked out +EVA gear can solo the Hume AA. The Hume AA can dual weild and has double attack, which means shadows are eaten up fast, yet a decked out EVA gear NIN can solo him. I've seen it happen. I'm 100% sure NINs will have no trouble.

5) {Thanks for the offer, but I'll have to pass.}

I have SAM 74, with some very nice gear (+58 STR)
Have /WAR /THF or /RNG, so I can make or close quite a few renkeis to help boost BLM damage as well as put out some nice damage myself.

Sounds good. I always welcome SAMs for these runs. And with you, that gives us the 4 melee requirement.

Including ppl in my LS, we have this so far:

Melee: 4
Tanks: 2
WHMs: 1
RDMs: 1
BLMs: 1

9 people. We're halfway there. I'll begin shouting an hour earlier (3PM EST) just in case. And again, I'll be starting in whitegate. I'll contact all of you once I sign on in order to remind you.

Misread blm as blu... never post when you're up several hours past your normal bedtime -_-

Imho blm should be focusing on killing not link control. Also, rdm tend to have higher enfeebling skill, fast cast (lowering recast timers, and cast time, making resleeping mobs easier). Sleep II and sleepga II last the exact same time. Also, if a blm used sleepga II he would get owned when they woke up @ same time.

Yeah, beat it a long time ago, hence why I forgot the stun thing... *blushes* anyhoo GL to you.

Well, we ended up failing due to a lack of understanding on what "Kiting" is...so thats 0/4 on this damn quest. I plan to try again this saturday.
