Run Announcement
On Wednesday we will be returning to Dynamis-Windurst. This is the last run in our city cycle before we move to clear Northlands and basic CoP areas for new members.
If you have THF70+, please bring THF. You may be asked to change jobs depending on how we are able to balance the alliances.
Item Preparation
No special items are required for this run aside from what you are expected to bring for your job.
Lotting Eligibility
No special criteria outside of active membership are enforced for this city zone.
Strategy
We are aiming for a full clear of the zone. In order to do so, everyone will need to be alert and moving quickly through the Vanguard.
House of the Hero
This pull involves 8 SMNs (Vanguard Oracles, including 1 SMN NM), 1 BLM (Vanguard Prelate), and 1 WHM (Vanguard Priest). The basic idea is that we have all RDMs, BRDs, and BLMs at the front by the house to contain the SMNs and the avatars they summon. A designated puller chooses a SMN, which is given some DoT to prevent it from being slept again, and brings it back to the waiting alliance on the bridge area to be killed. We repeat this until all of the SMNs are killed and Astral Flow is no longer a threat.
In order for this to work correctly, distance MUST be kept between the group at the front sleeping the SMNs and their avatars and the melee alliances fighting. If melee encroach on the front area, you subject the RDM/BRD/BLMs to AoE (particularly, Sweep) that can mean wiping from the AoE itself or an unslept avatar waking up and using Astral Flow. In addition, the distance also ensures that if Astral Flow does go off, only a portion of the alliances are affected and we do not completely wipe.
Thus, when given the instruction to stay on the bridge area, STAY ON THE BRIDGE. In addition, any mage that has built up excessive hate on a particular Vanguard needs to be aware to assist the puller in bringing to the Vanguard back to the melee alliances.
