Talk:Bakka

Observations
Is there any proof this goes through shadows? I've just fought Bakka and Blizz5 didn't go through shadows once.

Doesn't appear to cast Ice Spikes either, though he does gain an undispellable Ice Spikes effect. Unknown if this is caused by exposure to a certain type of damage, a certain amount of damage, amount of time, etc. He gained and lost it twice in our fight (100~50% it appeared constantly on, lost it then until around 25~30%).

Less than 50%, he gained the ability to insta-cast Freeze (AM1). Also casts Blizzaga IV.

Also appears fairly susceptible to Demon Killer. THF tank was having it proc from Staurobow fairly often (10~15%, if not higher).

Also uses Deafening / Abrasive Tantara, though they have different names and do damage. Stifling Tantara is Silence and hits for 300~400 as BRD. Grating Tantara is Amnesia and hits for similar damage to Stifling. The effects of both do not last very long (approximately half the regular Heraldic Imp length).

Appeared to have a "Fast Cast" trait, though this may have just been us.

HP also doesn't appear to be that high, maybe as much as Zekka in Beadeux (S), though I wasn't paying much attention to how long it took, we appeared to be taking it down quite quickly with just a THF doing damage and DOT's from BLM and RDM (15% in 5~10min). --†Hitetsu 22:14, July 4, 2010 (UTC)

How many and of which job did you have when you fought him? I would love people to add this info to pages, instead of just what the mob does... -- Orubicon 09:20, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

We had a THF, RDM (dualboxed by the same person), BRD (me) and BLM for stun. Got it to 4% and then wiped due to Blizzaga4 hitting BRD and THF. Carnage Elegy stuck fairly easily, I had maybe 1~2 resists in the duration of the fight. It may be ideal to have a SCH or 80WHM or RDM /SCH to help reduce damage from stray Blizzaga's. Ideal place to pull him is just north of the other imps (around K-4 was safe). --†Hitetsu 14:41, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you. :) -- Orubicon 12:59, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

SAM, RDM, WHM Trio
Did this fight with a 77SAM/NIN tanking, 80RDM/DRK(me) and a 80WHM/RDM SAM solo tanked and I focused on stuns for the -ga and enfeebling (paraII, slowII and diaII) haste and the odd cure when I felt it needed. WHM focused main heal. After an initial wipe due to SAM getting hit with silence and para, then getting a Blizz V dropped on his head, we regrouped to try it again. Next attempt went smoothly and i finished it off with a Thunder III. Paralyse was very effective and also stopped the NM`s casting at times, also it was intimidated on a number of occasions by the SAM. Drops: Glyph Axe and 2 wings, 1500 exp and 272 Cruor --Calatilla 00:49, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Did this fight a few days ago with 6 (pld/nin rdm/drk whm/sch blm/whm smn/whm thf/nin) and twice today as 7 (pld/nin thf/nin rdm/drk rdm/whm smn/whm smn/whm blm/rdm). Easy fight honestly, have rdm/drk stun -ga spells and enfeeble it between stun recasts. main healer concentrate on Paralyna and healing. Smn's using Predator Claws were doing about 5% of its HP each time. Strongly recommended the tank have a stack of Echo Drops on hand to help out the healer. All and all a smooth fight, all members were in white health when it died. --AjaniRagnarok

=Beastmaster Trio=

Owned this guy w/ 3x level 80 BST. kite between Pashow zone side and martello at south of corridor through the mountains to the west of pashow zone. No mobs along the whole northern ridge. Bakka actually has fast movement speed. You need to run before pets are dead. We didn't have any pet food. Keep at least 2x pets on him to fight. 1x pet at a time doesn't do enough damage. if you run the whole way Call Beast timer should be up by the time he catches you. We used 4x pets each. 0/1 on Glyph axe... or anything only go the imp wing.

=BST + SMN Strategy= This strategy requires 3 BST and 2 SMN. You can always use more of both but that is the bare minimum. The fight takes about 8-10 minutes and doesn't require any kiting unless you mess up the BST rotation or forget to wait for Call beast timers. 1. BSTs all call pets (arctic rabbits recommended) and wait for Call Beast timer to be back up before pulling. 2. All three BST put their first pets on Bakka while SMN use Avatars (Shiva takes the least damage, Leviathan and Ifrit are also good for damage output). 3. When the BST's first pet dies call another and wait until the last BST's pet is about 20% before putting the next pet on (there should always be a BST pet on it, make a rotation if needed).

Stay far away out of AoE range and this is a super easy fight. The more SMNs the better but I can't stress enough how much you really need 3 BSTs. This strategy also works for Raskovnik which a lot of BSTs will be camping along with Bakka. Good luck! Littledarc 07:17, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

Taken from main page

 * Spawns at (K-5).
 * Respawn time is unknown, but seems short.
 * Casts Ice based spells; Ice Spikes, Blizzaga III, Blizzard IV and Blizzard V were observed.
 * Blizzard V ignores shadows.
 * Immune to Silence.
 * Darkness Skillchain heals NM.
 * Not to be taken lightly. Hits hard, pretty evasive and lots of HP.

Noticed when our group was fighting, Bakka under 50% gains a sharp fast cast, Bliz -ga III being cast in .5-.75 secs as no one managed to stun him once under 50%. He also gains Paralyze-ga spell, and can spam it --Sakuraryong 12:33, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

Testimonials
Killed With Moderate difficulty with 80BST, 80BLU, 80SMN. Did not notice any amount of Fast-cast gained (Above the normal fast cast he has) at lower HP. - User:Karbuncle

Drop Rate?
What is the approximate drop rate of the Azure Abyssite of Celerity? --Terranova the Insignificant 02:33, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

Ice spikes
I killed this NM 3 times in a row recently with PLD WHM RDM. About the ice spikes I'm certain that it's only gained after it uses Stifling Tantara, unless it spawns with the spikes already on, which seems to be the only offset to my claim. I can't say when the spikes disappear and I won't update the page just yet, but if anyone here fights Bakka any time soon, watch for ice spikes appearing after it uses that ability.
