When you guys say sleep the adds, are you specifically saying sleep for the entire fight or sleep until you deal with them? Stupid question I know, but I just returned and getting the hang of things
There is actually literally zero queue right now. incredibly interesting.
VD run in ~3m20s found on youtube.

Just have bard stay around 20' from whm so they can throw a heal from the chip damage from housemaker if they get in trouble. I may have missed this earlier, but what determines which player the momma goes after? I thought it was the player who casted the last barspell? Or what are the enmity rules for the Housemaker? Bump.

It was a glitch in the matrix. Moments after Eiryl posted that, the line jumped to fifteen.

It means he lost on his first VD1 using melee, got flustered and then switched to SMN burns for easy clears.
This fight was fairly tame last iteration, and people have already posted very fast kills with melee setup. Offline

No adds spawned in that video. Did they just BarStonra and then Misery esuna?
This month is dumb luck, not in the sense that you will win or lose just if you are going to experience any mechanics. You could have a fight that is over in 3 minutes and never experience an add or kamikazi meeble. Or you could just get thrown every *** mechanic it has at you within the 30 seconds and it can quickly become a frustrating experience.

Every month is dumb luck in some way.
Last month Vengeance would just 99k when it felt like. And use Throat stab 5 times a fight and kill the DDs after tank hate loss. The month before, Qiqirns had no discernible reason why they would use PD, and would use it back to back for minutes at a time. Ambuscade v1 is just one gigantic annoyance in some way, shape, or form. It's all about killing these monsters are quickly as possible to remove the possibility of monsters using "i win" mechanics.

We solved why, Everyone's Virulence would be used if hate shifted mid Skillchain. The tonberry was programmed to use Virulence instead of it could skillchain, which means the tank wasn't keeping hate. In other words, the virulence move went off if your tank was sucking and not holding hate. Otherwise it was Vengeance went off, and Vengeance just hit hard but not for 99k. We figured that out pretty fast too, it wasn't even a week in and we had it. It was even on the bgwiki page for the fight. RTFM? Offline

Yea smn burn is quick and painless, nothing wrong with it. If you like melee style this month enjoy. Ragnarok.Gunit said: » Best place for KI? Where ever everyone else isn't.

Gustav worms are botted, but an option
Zeruhn Mines Den of Rancor (the worst choice) Kuftal is a good option, have to zone several times some others if you know where to go for them https://ffxiclopedia.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Worms Offline

How would this go for a group of 3x SMN, WHM, PLD and COR?
Poorly. Geo isn't really optional. Unless you want to do N.

Not really "I win" button imo. Without these mechanics battle would be boring as hell a anyways, certainly not interested in hitting a wall with HPs. Sign me up for unlimited rewards for hitting a wall with HP. As long as there is not queue for it. *** being entertained, this is a chore and it needs to be over sooner than later.
Putting on headphones while you clean might work for you, but a chore is a chore. I'll take faster cleaning over music while I clean all day every day.

Doods. Just do the bars. None of this "heal after" stuff. Just do the bars.
It does moves at set times, not tp based. It is 100% predictable. On N/D it's exactly 30 seconds after the last move, I don't care enough to melee VD to time it to see if its still 30 seconds. Warble, 30 seconds, Warble, tp move, 30 seconds, Warble, 30 seconds, Warble, hundred fists, warble, 30 seconds warble Asura.Eiryl said: » I want everyone I do shoutbuscade with to have react.

If your time is so valuable, then perhaps instead of making bots play the game for you, you should just watch FFXI streams. No more Asura queues to deal with! All problems solved!
