There is no way that you took over 1000 damage from Self-Destruct when the bomb was near death. Self-Destruct is a move based on the bomb's current HP, I'm a BST so I do this all the time, bombs that SD near death are lucky to land 100 damage on you. Once I had one do 3 damage. lol
wow, that has gota suck~ i was ther today, and... he seemed like a peice of cake~ took him on like 5~6 times when he poped... Self-Destruct like 2~3 times, never taking any one into the red... i dunno, i guess its all your luck!
Was there today XPn' with my party when we saw this. I didn't think of it much cause it con'd as Tough and im @ 64PLD. well we are doing ok, 20secs into battle it used self-Destruct and I took 1,020Pts of Damage. Killed me, a drk, and a rdm. Careful with this. Drk didn't have enough time to cast stun on it. Anyways there's my two-bits. :)
