[dev] Adjustments to "Prelude to Puissance" Last limit breakFollow

At 70 though?

Earth for sure, Light because it'll heal itself I think, but I was under the impression that Wind was dickery too if it puts Blink up. I honestly forget the details, but something made it closer to auto-lose 3/8ths of the time than 2/8ths.

Its pretty easy if you remember what it was like to fight without atmas, atmacites and temp items. It reminds me of the promy fights to an extent. I think it should be left the same, simply because it isn't that difficult, and can be defeated by many setups.

It should scale however to the number of people entering, and should be soloable akin to the Maat fight for 75. NEEDING people is what makes this hard, the same thing that made COP hard. People that have done this generally won't go again unless money is there or a friend.

The Promy fights were a major blockade too until they nerfed them. I remember getting through them largely because I had RNG levelled and everyone wanted RNG's and SMN's.

I don't think comparing anything to promies puts it in a favorable light.
It's a limit break. Should have been a solo thing like Maat. It should be doable by average folks with average gear that have fun with their friends and don't want to grind ultimate gear and/or jobs to win.

boring trying and failing against Maat was fun, in the end I used the forbidden melee side of RDM to defeat him. Ironic really. Going in and spamming tails at a Taru is not fun, it is a means to an end. I had a much more rewarding feeling conquering that old man alone then I have got beating this Taru any of the number of times Ive done so.

But maybe that was just me I dunno.

(the option to Solo should at least have been there.)

RDM Maat was always a pain. NIN Maat I did like around 90 and almost killed him before I was able to get enough TP to WS him. Maybe you should try the Opo-opo Necklace trick, eat some sushi, and start off with a Jin.

Some of my LS mates and I have essentially merced this for several people; they take in whatever useless job and a tail, then sit back while we nuke it. Hardly in the spirit of the limit break.

Thing with this fight is it can be easy, or it can be ridiculously broken, it's kinda like the old RDM Maat fight, just random. If you don't use PD zerg or tail + manaburn then it boils down to pure luck. He can at any point in time just flatly kill someone no questions asked. He wants you dead, you instantly die, no defense options will save you. If he wants multiple of your party dead, then they will die one at a time, nothing you can do. No amount of tanking or curing will save you, everyone will just die. But if his AI doesn't decide to start wiping you out, then he's pretty easy with fast hitting melee's. Really it's entirely up to what his AI decides to do at that moment in time.

Or you can just PD zerg or tail + manaburn him and remove the random AI from the equation, which is what most of us did.

Admittedly those could be done with just one high level player to help. You can't bring just one level 99 to LB10 and have a prayer.

And another great example of where LUCK >>> skill: on another character I lost on THF twice, first time pretty badly, second time it was close, third time STEAL landed after I died and rezzed, and I won.

RNG >>> skill.
