Well our last attempt we got him to a sliver... One more WS or full blast from a BLM and he'd probably be dead right now. Sooo we're gonna stick to our strategy. I'll ask that you get everything on the list again. If anyone needs to xp this week give me a /tell I'll be looking to get a few xp sessions in.
One thing we might wanna think about is having the melee hold back until after DL uses Oblivion Smash. This way we might eliminate people getting crushed all at once like we did last time. I saw the whole episode literally with DL doing his damage right in my face. So I saw close up everyone re-raise then him doing dispelga shortly after then bang OS again.
I'm gonna copy and paste the information from the last post I made. I'll make some additions to it at the end.
I'm posting this stuff now so that you guys can get all of these items way ahead of time. So here is the repost of stuff you MUST get.
Opo-Opo Necklace
2 stacks of sleeping potions.
1 stack of Poison Potion to use on Dynamis-Lord He can use sleepga.
Item to use to get yourself Re-Raise
Icarus Wing (I'll do my best to get enough of these for next Sunday.)
These items are really important which I've said like 3 times already.
Echo Drops
The BEST food you can buy.
Eye Drops
I can't stress enough using your best food. So get whatever is appropriate for the WS that you are using. We also have some big alterations to our strategy that we are gonna employ this time. I really like them. Fatman came up with this so I'm gonna copy and paste it below.
Adjusted Strategy:
1. Pull DL to the spot where melee will use their TP. PLD will be assigned to stand where DL should be stopped at.
2. RDM/DRK uses Chainspell Stun.
3. Melees use their TP and begin running away to safe camp. If you notice DL turn to follow you wait till BLMs have hate to move out.
3a. BLMs watch for HP to start falling then start casting their first barrage of nukes.
3b. (This is a suggested thing we might think about trying.) SAM 2 hr. Chains with himself making a skillchain that you can burst Thunder off of. Just a suggestion.
4. BLMs keep nuking while stuns are still going on. PLDs are off waiting for stuns to stop so they can come in and use their invincibles to keep DL busy while BLM get MP and melee get TP.
5. Stuns are done. PLD take turns using invincible to marathon DL on the level between the BLM camp and the melee camp. Melee report TP. BLM report MP. When ready we need to try and keep DL from moving so the BLMs can get off a barrage of nukes. Maybe we can have him be shadowbind. He'll move again once one hits but I think it might hold him in place long enough to get the nukes to start hitting.
6. Pretty self explanatory from here on out. Re-raise get TP or MP and work DL down to nothing.
Misc. notes....
I wanna station one person who can marathon DL at the steps leading up to the castle. So when he goes into sprint home mode somone can get aggro and run him back down the hill.
Prolly the two most important things are to not have everyone die at once. So we need the melee to get out after they use TP and get to their camp. Being sure to watch not to drag DL down the hill away from the mages. Second is not to let DL get up to the mages and start whiping them out. BLMs if you have to space out your nukes. Don't just go crazy and nuke one after another really fast. We really need to keep you guys up so when he's really low you can finish him off.
Be sure to get appropriate food for what you plan on using as a weaponskill. I.e. HP food if spirits within.
Re-raise items save huge amounts of xp for people. Get these you won't regret it. Lets try and get that new mage re-raise item some how. The enhancement is pretty cheap that is needed for bonecrafting you could prolly get enough gp to get it within a week.
PLEASE TRUST our ability to defeat him. Don't half ass it and not get what you need. Last time I know there were still a bunch of people who did not bring enough sleep pots, or were not re-raising after they died 1 time. We can win and it will become pretty easy if we all go 100%.
The Dragons... I think prolly the best thing to try and do is have the BLMs not cast -ga spells and get a few NIN or War/NIN to run this guys off. They are a pain and can become quite a nuisance.
If anyone sees anything I missed or if you would like to suggest something please do.
