Just did the DRG quest, and someone on my LS got a random level 53DRG/26WAR to solo it for me.
DRG hit Berserk before fight, and entered the field. We stared at Cyranuce for about 30 seconds without aggro, before the DRG hit him for about 150 dmg -- the got hit back for about 60.
DRG jumped for about 200, High Jumped for about 400, and Hit (on average) for about 130-150; he got hit back for about 60-70 a shot.
Just to let you know, as a 30THF/10NIN I sneaked with a dagger for only 90 dmg. *twitch*
Finish fight with DRG at 153/1006 HP, me at 467/467 (heh) and the DRG with a Penta ready if things got bad.
it was very easy. I got my tp to 300% before entering. I also casted protect/shell/blink on myself and used Meat Cheifkabobs. mp was 186/186
i used up tp at the start and activated my 2 hr right after. When my hp was down to 450/922, i used Divine Seal + Cure III, which healed me for +348 hp.
When the dragon died, my hp was 522/922 and mp 140/186
The dragon is level 40-45, I soloed it for a friend as rdm48. won pretty easily. As a level 30 party, it would definatly be a tough battle.
You have to have the dragoon quest completed up to the fighting portion (theres several parts with the finding and hatching of the egg and all, and being told to go to ghelsba) Then you can enter the room and fight with your friends.
If you've already gotten dragoon then you can help others with this fight.
So...would it be possible for a 30 Monk/Redmage, 30 Black/White Mage, 32 White/Black Mage to take this, along with whatever other level 30 suckers we can get?
I did a test run on Kujata server just for fun, took a lvl. 1 Drk/ 1 Pal up there and (yeah I know, suicide) and I got one swing in, it missed, and then he hit me for 240 damage instantly annihalating me... I got owned, but it was fun and I informed my ls during the whole process and got a screenshot off in the process.
40 ninja, 40 paladin, 32 thief...we killed it in 4 minutes, almost lost me..the ninja but we didnt have a healer except the pally and he couldnt get the hate off me
I took a 50 something Paladin and Dragoon with me (I was a 30 thief), and they owned it before I was through with the cutscenes. I did manage to get a hit in. We (as in THEY) made a new record for Seraph (1 min, 8 seconds).
This dragon is a joke/disappointment. I thought it would be harder but apparently not. I just finished this last night and it only lasted for 2 mins into the fight. I had a lv 52 blm, 43 rdm, 36 war, 30 thf with me. I was using my drk last night w/c was lv 43. For those of you who want to kill this dragon you prolee jus need 2 gud lv 40's and yourself and you shud b set....at least from my experience...the rdm and thf were basically jus watching.... :)
My friend and I had a level 54 Dragoon with us, and we just watched while he pounded it into dust in 3 minutes and losing only like 200 hit points. Seemed like you could get a level 40+ warrior with a white mage to heal to do this.
the reason everyone is having such an easy time is that everybody is fighting it with high levels. if you want it to be a tough challenge, fight with a party of mid 30s
