Run Announcement

On Sunday we will be running Dynamis-Beaucedine. The purpose of this run will be to clear Angra Mainyu and allow members still needing access to Dynamis-Xarcabard an opportunity to receive this zone's key item.

We will not be returning to this zone to "win" it again for at least a couple months. If you need the key item for this zone, make it a point to attend.

Item Preparation

No special medicines are required for this zone outside of what you are normally expected to use for your job.

I will provide certain medicines to the tanks handling the Pukis dragon pets.

Strategy

Our route through the zone will be our normal farming path, however, 30 minutes will be explicitly reserved at the end to set up and kill Angra Mainyu.

To stage for this fight, all members will proceed to the SW area in front of Fei'Yin and camp. We will have one person pull Angra Mainyu with a non-damaging spell (usually a BRD), and tanks will pull away the four Pukis dragons it summons towards the starting area of the zone.

Initially, Angra Mainyu will not do anything but cast non-damaging status -ga spells, and its dragon pets will not assist it until we start to damage Angra Mainyu itself and it starts warping around. To track Angra Mainyu as it warps in front of Fei'Yin, we will have a SMN or /SMN put Assault an avatar on it, which we can follow from site to site.

It is important that Angra Mainyu be killed quickly, as we will only have the duration of time that it takes the dragons to run back from the distance they have been kited. Hate will be lost on the kiting tanks as Angra Mainyu warps around and as the tanks themselves die to dragon's poison breath or AoE. Similarly, it is imperative that if you need the key item for the zone, that you quickly examine the ??? where Angra Mainyu dies to receive it before the dragons return to Fei'Yin

Unfortunately due to the winter storm that will begin hitting my area tomorrow I have a sudden influx of Au Pair work (yea!) so I wont be able to play an FFXI tomorrow, let alone attend the run. Good luck on the kill, and hopefully the zone isnt stingy on the drops like it has been the last few times.

I was planning to fly to NYC tomorrow morning, however, inclement weather is kinda pissing me off so I'm going to try to leave tonight, so I most likely won't be at the run tonight.

Not usually, but this is a pretty strong storm (eqivilant of Cat2 hurricane, just not as organized)

The entire northeast is getting slamed with high winds, storm surge, and either 1+ feet of heavy wet snow or 6+ inches of rain. So yea, the weather is just perfect right now -_-, Izzy you have my condolences for even attempting to travel in this.
