75BLM/37RDM named Orijin SOLOed With no problems at all. Thunder IV > Sleep II until death.... it was kinda sad that a THF and WHM couldnt kill it due to the THF giving it tp to do Pollen.
Bring your damage.

This fight was just long for me. I trio'd it, but I'm fairly sure I could've duo'd it with a BRD or RDM, the BRD that was with me though just happened to be there with his brother as well (a PLD), so he helped out.

75 DRG/WHM, 68 BRD/WHM, 69 PLD/WAR; we saw Demonic Tiphia (this was a few weeks ago) and decided to kill it. The fight lasted a very long time, but we were never in trouble. The enemy hits extremely soft (at least against a 75 DRG), and it isn't exactly strong. We just kept pummeling it. It would just keep using Pollen and Cure V, but we could have lasted forever against that thing. Eventually (after about 25 minutes), we managed to get it down to around 30% HP (we had gotten it as low as 35% earlier, but it used Pollen nearly twice in a row to get back up to 100% again). The PLD had aggro at this point, and was just about to hit his invincible macro because he saw it readying final sting, but he didn't get it in time. It hit him for about 1300 damage or so, and he went down, but it was for a good cause! If I had to guess, I'd say the NM is the same level as the Wespes surrounding it, just because it hit about as hard.

I got my Tiphia Sting and I was certainly happy. :)

On another note, I think that's my description that is up there! Woot!

Uses Final Sting and can die from this =) seen it happen 2x so far. Need to get least amount of people on it that cause most damage. 75 BLM + 75 MNK could take this thing down pretty fast but a bunch of BST w/ pets hitting it will give it TP very fast and it will spam pollen. Uses Sleepga II , Erase , and Paralyga as well as spells / abilites already listed. Not sure about the Benediction i've fought it 4x so far and never seen benediction just tons of pollen and Cure V's.
boo

Wow this guy is just tough. He loves his Cure and Pollen. And soooo many HP. Not a fun fight but great drop for a DRG or MNK who miss out on the ammo slot.
BST Power
