Here's something fun for everyone doing this AF. Please spot the errors in the upcoming passage!

In an 18 man alliance which included, from what i can remember:
- 60rdm/30blm (me)
- 56thf/28nin
- 60whm/30blm
- 62pld/31war
- 57pld/28war
- 60blm/30whm
- 60+drg/???
- ~60blm/whm
- ~60blm/whm
- 75rdm/37blm
- 64drk/32war
- ~60blm/whm
- 70+whm/blm
- 65rdm/32blm
- (other ~lvl60 jobs)
we went to complete this AF for 4 blms. After despawning 3 of them (cheap *** trick) we finally fought the fourth one. Casting roughly 4 spells (2X debuff, refresh, and stoneskin)I gained 1 exp in less than a minute in the aftermath of that brutal display of flashing lights.

Here are your answers:
Error 1) brought too many people for this - the NM was so damn easy i was waiting for a rumored 17 man anniliation (which is why I casted stoneskin..and then the sludge was dead). Later I told the researcher that he got his info mixed up; "17+1 people rocked it"

Error 2) Did this AF when there was nothing to watch - waiting for each blm to spawn and despawn the NM took time; enough to respawn the scorpion and skeletons in that room over and over again. At this rate i could of finished watching an episode of xenosaga, etc and avoid boredom.

Error 3) Didn't do this on Darksday - coz if we did do it on that day then maybe the Magic Sludge woulda had game and made this AF exciting. Unfortunately it failed to please.

Error 4) Melees cheated - I think most of them started that battle with 300% tp. Savage blade/Spirits Within = 1 lousy mob

So its either we got lucky or got mad skills and from judging on how fast we beat it I can safely vouch for the latter. Congrats to you blms that got this done!

Well this thing is hell for everyone reguardless of the job they play took an alliance of 18 ppl to kill this for 8 BLMs
had to kill it 8 times and each time it took almost 10 min, melee dont **** to it...neither does magic.
I dont think the gods have resistance like this Thing does, AM? Ha highest AM was 145, teir 2-3 spells were like teir 1
Debuff? Ya right, Bio was resisted with max Dark Skill

About 8 of us BLMs needing our hat went down there togather with a PLD and let me tell you...it was so easy.


Can I but pot from you?
You seem to have the good stuff.

Quote:
The first blm cast silence

WHM RDM and BLM all tryed Silence no one could get it to stick.

Quote:
then 7 of the 8 BLM cast ancient magic all at the same time and wiped out about half of his MP


We had 3 ppl try ancient magic max dmg was about 150 2 freezes and a flare.

Actually, I'm a little confused as to why you would even try to cast Bio on a Dark Elemental. Surely, you had to know that it's going to have an incredibly fierce resistance to all things dark, right?

That's tantamount to casting Drown on a Water Elemental, man. It just doesn't work.

About 8 of us BLMs needing our hat went down there togather with a PLD and let me tell you...it was so easy.

The first blm cast silence on him to pull him out of the room into the hall in case something popped and then 7 of the 8 BLM cast ancient magic all at the same time and wiped out about half of his MP. I was put on healing duty while the PLD kept hate and used his 2hr...at that point the other 7 blms just started casting their most powerful spells and tooks this guy out in no time.

I think during the entire time I only have to let off 1 Cure 3 for the PLD...left there with 95% of my MP and the other mages had about 20% left...

We all left there pretty damn hapy
HA HA HA

non-agressive ... that is funny

Yeah I got aggroed by it, all i did was walk near it. It might aggro on sound. I though it would be safe to get a close picture with this page saying it was non-agrro
ooooo

No, we just fought it with an group of 9 people L59-61 (based on the advice that it was a L64 mob), and got completely and utterly slaughtered. Since we've been leveling off of 67+ mobs in a pt of 6 recently, I'm guessing the level of this mob must be higher than 64 as stated.

It spams Bio III on everyone, hit me (59 Pld, Steamed Crab, Defender, Sentinel, Defense 603) for 100-150 per shot, and all in all, it wasnt even close. Magic didnt touch it, melee didnt touch it. We got it down to about 50% health, and that was only because Spirits Within hit for 493. Other than that, the highest damage we did to it was around 40 (Includes Dancing Edge, Stone III, Water III, Holy... All less than 40 damage.)

From the looks of it, bring lots of people.. Lots more than you'd think you'd need, because it is nasty..

No offense but elementals are always harder than melee mobs for their level... do you level on elementals ever? no, they have too high a resistance to physical damage and too powerful of spells. So it most likely is level 64. That would be VT-IT for your party composition... suicide

Doesn't seem very hard. What's the worst spell he can cast...Bio II?

Duoed it with a friend. We were:

RDM 74/BLM37
SMN 75/WHM37 (me)

Dark Elemental mobs are actually fairly easy.

Used Carby to spam Meteorite and Healing Ruby II.

RDM kept me refreshed and did some healing. I erased any debuff the mob throw at us.

We both took poison potion because the sleepga is irritating.

It was more of an endurance fight than anything else.
