Talk:Chigre

I went in to this fight as a RDM/BLU with my friend as RDM/WHM. I was pretty confident I could tank this NM and I was right about that since the highest damage I took was a 67 damage critical hit. What I didn't anticipate was the rapid rate in which the additional effects build up. It seemed like it was 30 seconds before I was Poisoned, Paralyzed, Blinded, Slowed and Silenced. Even with echo drops and antidotes we could only hold off Plaque, Curse, Petrify and finally Endrain for 5 minutes. I'm pretty sure that is the order in which he uses them, but it was so fast I could be wrong. RDM/BLU could definitely tank this if it had enough support to prevent the additional effects.

Also, this page is pretty messy, hard to read, and even misleading... Can you please post unverified information on talk and also all testimonials. --Shizoku 08:34, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Moved from main page: "Poison is 28hp/tic and lasts a very long time (~10 min?)." and "Possibility of random Venom or Poison effect? Experience 5hp/tick poison instead of original 28/tick." Discuss your different experiences with the poison effect here before its posted on the main page. --Shizoku 08:25, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

I removed the statement: "Has enhanced movement speed." It definitely does not have enhanced speed as it is easily kited and there is a nearby loop which is completely free of agro making it very soloable by RDM using the DoT kite method (may require C legs). With 317 enfeebling skill, HQ staff, and +13 m.acc I was unable to ever land bind or gravity so I'd say it's most likely immune. It dropped the Blood Ring, 1/1. --Aeolus 10:37, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

I was under the impression that its impossible to solo without speed gear because it does in fact have enhanced movement speed. Shaddix 04:49, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

The reason one would say "impossible" is because of the fact that you have to pop-spawn it, thus you wouldn't be able to ascertain kiting distance from the mob unless you (the player) had enhanced movement speed. If you time everything properly, however, you could gain distance, albeit minute, every time it casts a spell. --Vafruvant 04:40, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

okay well I just duoed it with a thf and my rdm/nin, it catches up to you without w legs and you get away from it with, takes forever to gain ground though, definitely faster than normal player walking speed. Shaddix 04:50, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

What's this about nonstandard "enmity decay"? Doesn't it seem a more rational explanation that spamming poisona, paralyna etc., in addition to curing, is rapidly building enmity that may easily exceed the tank's enmity? --Vaprak 17:57, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
