Talk:Rani

Popped him for the first time on Quetz server. Seems to randomly become immune to physical damage for brief periods. Unknown if this is due to a TP move or if it randomly gains a stoneskin effect (no mention in log of SS effect). Is healed by offensive nukes while he's casting. Seems weak to piercing. Rangers and BLUs using Benthic Typhoon were dealing consistent damage (starting at 2k~ and winding down). THF Evisc dmg was so-so, starting at 1500~ but winding down as his HP went down. Pets seem to work well for damage and kiting. Garuda was dishing out nice damage on bloodpacts. Nazuna was criting for 350~ when mob wasn't immune to damage.

All spells he casts seem to be AoE. His Aeroga IV can do 1800 to buffed members. Seems to power up at some point (successive use of Stygian Sphere?). Started wiping after getting him to 40%. Attempted to kite and eventually had to give up after he was fully raged. He begins going nuts after 50%, spamming drains and self-healing. Watched the group after us go; exact same deal for them. Goes smooth until 50%, then he begins going nuts. --Chocobits 09:59, December 14, 2010 (UTC)

It can use a move called Enthrall, AoE Charm which transforms the charmed into caturae. --Teiei 04:07, December 15, 2010 (UTC)

Stygian sphere cures it and gives it stoneskin for the same amount. Gradually builds -damage taken with time. Gains t4 ga and meteor at 50%. It can get annoying fast if you take long to kill. Updated page with info gleamed after 5 fights.--Dracko 07:26, December 15, 2010 (UTC)

Also, his melee hits have an additional effect of stealing buffs, including a wide assortment of JA's. It's best not to buff your tanks or anyone that will regularly pull hate and get hit while fighting this, as it'll just make the fight that much harder. --Kyitrai 09:02, December 15, 2010 (UTC)
