ACP11 - Ode of Life Bestowing  

Rdm/Drk has its uses... and this fight is an example of where it could be useful. But please stop telling me when i ask to be a stunner that you NEED Rdm/Drk because Drk can't keep up with stunning the -ga spells. and its funny because the people who shout this are always something like COR, PUP or something else that isnt listed on the Alla-bible, but yet you tell me that I can't stun the crystal's -ga spells... I have done it twice now, never missed a -ga spell. Our party died because the Pld had to rest and was unable to keep hate. If it's because of refresh, that's understandable. But the lack of knowledge is agonizing. I have told these people who present this information to me that I have fought it before and have never missed a -ga spell... and get the auto translated Thanks for the offer... but I'll have to pass.. Because you are too stupid to make your own strategy and instead have to do what this site says because it's the 'best' way. Am I saying that Rdm/Drk Can't to it as good as me? Absolutely not! fast cast is a great ability and so is chainspell... But the fact is that a Drk that doesn't have his head up his Plastron is perfectly capable of stunning for this fight. Drk can play a very nice role in this fight.. fight off thralls, /ma "stun" <stnpc>, and when 100tp, time the seed moves and run in and guillotine... As long as ur not a moron and know how to play drk, this shouldnt be a problem. Unfortunately I'll never be able to confirm a victory in this method, because most of the elitists who make these parties seem to think that Drk cant keep up with stuns. and btw... if a Pld would actually depend on himself in this fight and not an outside refresh and buy a few items, it wouldnt be a problem, and drk could serve equally effective of a role in the fight as a rdm/drk would. But no, lets all continue to shout in whitegate "ACP "Ode to Life Bestowing" @5 Rdm/Drk <Can I have it>..." Grow a pair and try something new. I never hear the end of the whining on here that the game is too cookie cutter. Just remember its you guys who made it this way.

--Note... References to 'you' do not apply to every reader... Only the ones who fit this particular rant... This post was not designed to flame any pt setup, but was instead an anger driven inspiration to enlighten the world to the fact that there is more than one way to do this. I am not an elitist, but I know what Drk is and isn't capable of. And stunning giant crystal while fighting off thralls is something that is very easily done by a drk who isn't mentally handicapped...

If you don't like what I have written, I really don't care... I will not be back to defend my standing so please flame at will... Otherwise, if you are on Ragnarok and are tired of shouting for a RDM/DRK, plz send me a /tell I'll be happy to come along... Thank you for reading :)

So just tried this again last night. Was shouting for my own party and 5mins into it I was invited to one that only needed a RDM / DRK. So here’s the setup:

PLD / WAR
RNG / SAM
RNG / SAM
RDM / DRK
COR / ???
BRD / WHM

Again another failure. I get to the Stellar Fulcrum and the COR is ANON. So at this point I didn’t know what he was cause he had on a crafters apron and an ele-staff.

So I’m already here and figure what the hell, lets give it a shot. Zone in and the COR is still not geared. Only way I know he’s COR cause he’s now shooting dice.

So what, begin the fight. Things are looking ok but no one is killing the clones. I pop a few with magic while watching the say’s to stun –aga magic from the Crystals. At this point the tank is getting pissed cause no one is killing the adds.

Come on guys. Big *** Crystal is not going anywhere. Switch targets, kill add, switch back.

They are easy to kill but they have the EXACT gear of the player they copy. My copy hit me and it must have had a Platinum Grip +1. It stunned me and had the same stun animation.

Not that it matters all that much to this fight, I just thought it was a little interesting.
