wow this "guide" here uses some weird terms i have never heard of >.>

"taunt" "runner" ?

i could have sworn i read that you can now get more than one earring. but i cant find where i saw it. can someone confirm if you can have more than one? i thought they updated it so you can get multiples now. lemme know. bushino kicks *** on sam. but war could really use suppi when i get high enough level.

Valefor server DM run?
I am a PLD 75 with a friend RDM 75 want to get DM done. Wondering anyone planning any in the near future? Please let me know! We are in GMT timezone, around EST+7, most wkends are ok.

I am thinking of using the SuperTank approach as I went for 2 runs of kite, any of the kiter die or TT wasnt kill fast enough proves deadly. Any PLD/BLU out there would be much appreciated ^^.

Just wanted to post a comment about this strat. We tried it tonight and won with it but we come to realize that if a drg has its wyvern out and it dies then the others will leave the supertank to come back and wipe your other partys. If your a drg i would recommend not bring your wyvern out till after you have taken out the elvaan and probably the mithra as well. GL to everyone and i wish all of you wins.

Figured I'd make the Super Tank method more readily accesable from this forum, so thought I'd link it in and add my own 2 cents to it.
Here are the original links:

And to add a few personal notes to it:
TT comes last, by pulling the other mobs out of the circle, you dont need to mess w. him until everyone else is dead. His aoe petrify isnt so bad when 4 other AA's and 2 pets arent hitting u.

Good order is Mithra>Elvaan>Galka>Hume>TT, reason Elvaan is bumped up in the order is due to Spirits within, which can easily drop the Super tank.

A solid Super tank party should have SuperTank,Brd,whm,rdm,rdm,random DD normally. This way pld gets Minne and phalanxII on top of Cocoon for def migitation. Whm also will get ballad and refresh, to keep mp rolling in. Rdm can also Convert in a pinch.

Rdm in super tank pt can sleep pets on the super tank, but do not use sleepaga. If the AA's on super tank are hit, hate rules apply and things will go sour.

Dont forget about melees and their healing needs. 1 designated healer and a back-up healer should be in each pt. (i.e. a whm and a rdm. or a smn and a blu or something to that nature)

When Supertank first pulls AA's, pop sentinel. After Sentinel wears, if 3 AA and pets are still on you, now is a good time to pop invincible. This helps alot, because mages can easily get behind on curing you with so many mobs on you. Hopefully by the time invicible wears, the mithra is dead (or close to it) so the Elvaan can be pulled off you and the whm can more easily keep your hp high.

Use shield! In the vid, the pld has E-staff. But when u pull the AAs into the hallway to tank, they will follow u in a straight line. Just turn around and all of them will be withing your shield blocking range. Shield helps migitate dmg as well as recast cocoon.

Have Bard SV knights minne at beginning of battle. This should cap Def off at 999.

Good idea to have more than one trigger. You will most likely fail first time around. But second time is normally a breeze.

Make sure super tank mages are out of aoe range from both AAs on super tank, and the AA being fought by the melee group.

Poison potions are no longer needed after mithra falls, as no-other AA uses aoe sleep.

Lastly, keep everyone out of the circle! If you die in the circle you cannot respawn to try again as AA will kill you the moment you pop. The only time anyone other than super tank gets into circle is after all AAs besides TT are dead.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<If Super Tank Falls >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Have designated tanks for each AA should the supertank fall. This way they can voke their respective AA's, and the mages formally healing the super tank can now keep the new tanks alive.

If super tank falls early (i.e. no AA's have been killed), wiping may be best idea. Unless your current AA is close to death (<25%), it would be best mages stop healing, and melee just save tp to respawn with. Dont waste time fighting if you are not going to be able to drop an AA, as its hp will re-fill when they return to center of BC. So, if close to killing AA, fight till its dead and wipe so you can RR faster. If not close, just wipe and RR soon as possible.

If at least one AA is dead, wiping may not be needed if solid tanks/kiters are in group. Have the melee group attack the next AA on attack list, and two previously designate tanks/kiters grab their AA. Hopefully they can be kept alive until the melee group moves onto their group.

If wiping, it' a good idea to have someone die on the steps within view of where the AAs will reset to. Otherwise you risk raising to fast and having them rush back up the steps at you.

Does everyone in the alliance need one who needs to complete the mission? Someone is shouting and I want to join but havent done the Ark Pentasphere part and its a while for full moon >.>

18 vs 7 can be reduced to 14 vs 2.

TT doesnt leave the arena. If the other 4 are pulled to the hallway/entrance, this will become 18 vs 6.

NIN and WHM or RDM can duo the galka. the mage keeps the wyvern slept and the NIN solo the galka. with haste, paralyze, slow and blind, it should be easy. it becomes 16 vs 4. Take the GK all the way back to the entrance.

THF/NIN and WHM or RDM can solo eva the MR. the mage keeps the pet slept and the THF just stands there recasting utsusemi. with haste and full eva gear, it shouldnt be a problem. dont attack the MR. do it near the entrance just outside the GKs AoE range. it becomes 14 vs 2.

then take 3 people (2 kiters and 1 rdm) to trio-kite the elvaan along the hallway while 11 people gang up on the hume (fight him near the arena just outside the taru's casting range). use 2 hour early on this one so when he use mijin gakure, he wouldnt do much damage. after that kill the elvaan. she has benediction and invincible but with the other 3 not posing any problem, why not? after that just kill whichever you want.

Won this fight 1/3 yesterday with some friends and other random people.

PT1:
1- brd = me
2- rdm = Vvolfy
3- nin = Abandoned
4- sam = Bludock
5- smn = Cleggy
6- rdm = Pyromaniax

PT2:
1- thf = Ritcher
2- brd = Selos
3- rdm = Teabag
4- nin = Noyayuker
5- whm = Efnisien
6- smn = Ember

PT3:
1- rdm = Enterprisemmx
2- pld = Aldas
3- mnk = Madigan
4- rdm = Ellinaura
5- nin = Kamugi
6- smn = Clyde

What we did:
thf pulls the GK and trio him midway of tunnel with rdm and brd. nin vokes
the HM and takes him back to the shimmering light, trio it with a brd
and rdm. a pld and nin and a rdm trio-kite the EV on the buttom of
arena clockwise while another nin kites the MT there too, and others 2hr
the TT and kil him fast then the MT and her pet, then run to kill the HM
(he had like 60% HP left) he blowed us at like 20% of his HP so we kinda
were lucky. we all gathered on the GK and wiped him fast, was funny to
see him spamming WS's and killing members, finally EV left with 3
members trio-kited him well, all went crazy and took her down fast, victory! :D

One good tips for who is doing the Divine Might.
The black mage TT doesn't leave the arena any time, so when every one is ready to fight the Ark Angels gather together at the stairs. DO NOT enter in the blue circle arena. ONLY one tanker get inside and pull them and fast go back to the stairs. the Ark Angel MR, GK, HM, EV and the pets will chase the puller. The Black Mage TT will stay inside the arena so don't worry to kill it first.
All DD stay on the stair and fight the MR first. the others tank should pull the others AA to the Hallway. by the time you get the first wipe, the MR, GK and pets will be dead. wait the AA go back inside the arena and reraise.
after get full HP, do it again the same steps. ONLY 1 puller go inside the arena, now all DD fight the EV on the stairs, and 1 tanker pull the HM to the Hallway. After the Ark Angel EV is deafeted, all DD get inside the arena and kill the black mage TT, by this time the Tanker for the HM should bring him to the arena. The HM WIL use mijin garuke at 50% of hp so whatch his hp bar.
and Congratulation you will win!


..... the tanker needs help from rdm and whm!!!!
