Wednesday Fun (again)!

I'm hoping by Wednesday my Norg Fame will be high enough to get a Leviathan fork (Levelling NIN in Giddeous).

~SO~

Anyone fancy a run to kill Leviathan and in the process open a coffer for my AF chest armour (I already have a coffer key for Uggy)? After the Leviathan we could head over to the Cloister of Pebbles (or whatever) and do Titan too. This would not only get me my last two Avatars, but it's also the last two Feyla needs as well I believe.

Anyone interested?

Got fork \o/

Didn't get opportunity to head to Cloister of Tremors and slap the fat git in a thong but...

Scudley, Vigilia, Sinoc, Dafydd, Chille and I headed to Temple of Ugg via Norg to take on the water worm. While checking for coffers Sinoc had to leave.

Then there were Five.

As no coffers were available/popping, and Vigilia was short on time before work started (boo), we decided to head for the Cloister of Tides. Now this must be the arseiest (a real word?) Cloister to get to, we managed well 'til the drop point when Chille's sneak wore off and got aggro. Scudley and Vigilia made short work of the aggro while Dafydd raised the fallen Chille. After re-invising and -sneaking we dropped down and headed east to the Cloister. But alas! Chille took a wrong turn and died again! As we'd dropped to the next level we were unable to raise him and we sadly had to leave his corpse behind and face the Leviathan as we were.

Then there were Four.

Well, at the protocrystal we rested to full/ The plan was Scudley and Vigilia would Fragmentation the Leviathan as their TP allowed (Scudley has THF sub, Dafydd had NIN, Vig was BLM and I was WHM so no vokes at all) and once the Leviathan had done his 2-hr I would Miekyo Shusui and double Fragmentation him (if I surviived his 2-hr). So buffed up we went in. Barwatera on, engaged . . . . and Vigilia realised it was WATERSDAY! z0mg! He's gonna kick our a$$! We proceeded with the plan and his 2hr kicked off at 50%. Vig, Scud and Bea escaped with minor scratches, but poor Dafydd took it in the face and dropped like a sack of treant bulbs.

Then there were Three.

At this point I let go with my 2hr, first Fragmentation hit np, started second and tachi: koki missed (wtf?), so all very pretty but no prize. Vigilia and Scudley trooped the colours and whacked him with a couple more Fragmentations. The Leviathan sneered at us and healed itself, but to no avail. He recieved some harsh blows (and sneers of our own) and dropped.

With only 4 party members, loosing a member to death leaving only 3, it was Watersday and Leviathan healing itself ~ we managed to defeat him!

Big thank you to everyone who came along (especially Vigilia who sat around for over half an hour in Kazham to lead us by the hand to the Temple and consequently ended up being late for work). Regardless of the no coffer pop and Titan no-show, we had a damn good fight and defeated the Leviathan on a day you're not supposed to fight him (him being uber on Watersday) and with half a party!

:tehwin:

Yup, was good fun when we actually got there and he wasn't half as nasty on a watersday as I thought he might be. Half of the problems were our own silly fault for not preparing for this thing- i.e. everyone bring silent oil/prism powder, everyone knows the way beforehand and knows what aggros. Having said that, it's also everyone's responsibility to ask if they don't know, since I won't know that you don't know if you know what I mean? :)

And *cough* I had WHM sub too, I never do avatars without it anymore.

I'd say pre-65 it's just a lottery if you survive a prime avatar's 2 hour or not, even with bar-spells up. At 75 they barely tickle. :)

Mr. Scudley
Not technically true Minagi m8. With barfire up I got 1 shotted by Shiva last time we fought her. Surprised the hell out of me but I guess sometimes barice just gets resisted and you take the full blow regardless of your level, mind u the more likely outcome was that I was just unlucky :)

Aye Scuds but you're a paper Ninja, if your shadows aren't up you're almost as weak as a DRG. :D

/em runs away....

If you read the paladin forums on KI Minagi, there are often threads there by confused 75 PLDs along the lines of "omgwtfbbqlol I got one-shotted by avatar?". The bar-spell only increases your elemental defense, still doesn't mean you block it 100%. And it was watersday to boot. :) Also, I had stoneskin up yesterday before Levi did his 2-hour, without it I would had been relatively close to being one-shotted too. Officially stoneskin would had blocked roughly 340 damage since I wasn't wearing my usual +MND gear, so Levi technically hit me for 700+. ( http://www.max-evolution.com/rdmffxi.php )

And Scuds hun, you had barblizzara up when we fought Shiva, not barfira.

Aye Vig, I know, I'm only messing about. ;)

It still seems to be a lottery how the 2-hour damage gets distributed among the party, but I really do think there is a big increase in base elemental defenses from 65 to 75, the difference in damage I take from these now is significantly lower than when I was 65, with or without bar spells.

Maybe it's just a PLD thing, maybe it's just a coincidence, maybe I'm going mad... who knows? :p
