Talk:Kreutzet

Add'l Info
just camped this for 3 weeks and wanted to share some info:
 * wind weather is random. if the weather npc says there will be wind, you can definitely expect wind. however, wind weather sometimes appears on days the weather npc says only that it will be sunny.
 * if kreutzet force spawns, it will appear no more than 30 seconds into the start of the first occurance of wind weather after the spawn window closes (to me, it seemed to appear at the same time as the wind weather icon showed above my compass). during normal spawn window, it typically appeared when wind weather changed, but occasionally i noticed it appear ~5 and ~10 minutes after wind weather started.
 * -this is not typical, but just a note: the first day after i got an exact TOD, kreutzet did not spawn during the wind weather that occured during spawn window. it took an additional 4 game days for the next wind weather, and kreutzet, to appear.
 * most of the time, wind weather occurs once in a game day between 10:00-18:00 and lasts about ~4 game hours. i saw wind weather occur at 04:00 one time, then another time at 22:00. both these times were within 10 minutes of the close of the spawn window, kreutzet spawned with the weather, and the weather only lasted 1 game hour. there were also a few times when wind weather occured between 06:00-08:00 and there was a second occurance of wind weather in the same day.
 * while wearing vermillion cloak i could easily foe lullaby kreutzet 3 times before getting a resist, then i could land horde lullaby another 2 times, but after that i couldn't land lullaby at all even after changing to osode/pamamas+crown/2x etude/etc. i also watched a few blms successfully sleep2 kreutzet up to 3 times before getting resisted.

i watched a thf75/rdm75 successfully duo, but the fight took about 40min. all the thf did was hold kreutzet while the rdm DOTed it. rdm just stood at valley of sorrows zone line and zoned whenever they pulled hate while the thf was all decked out in eva gear (missing 90% of their attacks).

then i watched a nin75/rdm75 duo unsuccessfully for about 15min: the rdm meleed at start, pulled hate from cure4 themselves after a stormwindx3, then once nin got hate back the rdm didn't move away before convert, so convert+divine seal+cure4 -> one-shotted by kreutzet.

also watched a few LSs zerg the thing, with and without deaths. they had ~1min fights.

i had 2 party setups in this time: nin75/rdm65/brd75/blm65 (8 pulls) & nin75/thf67/rdm67/smn75 (only 1 pull).
 * we lost claim 5 times from lack of tank. >.> -nin died 2 times at pull due to links, 2 times due to debuffs/buffs not being done promptly, 1 time because he thought he could hold it until everyone got there from the outpost. -(not related to loss of claim) rdm died 2x from casting cure4 at start because hate take a few seconds to get established since no tank (i've seen) hits this NM consistently... otherwise the fights were easy and lasted about 7min.

for (not much) help with evasion vs. kreutzet, brd+mambox2 is the same as smn+lunar cry/ecliptic howl, but you'll hit more often with the smn buffs.
