Sometimes there is just useless NM's you kill out of sheer principle; haha. Killed with NIN and RDM on day 1(got mantle). Killed again with NIN, RDM, DNC on the respawn day 4(did not get mantle). Things I noticed during the fight are that he would target the RDM a lot, and used ranged attack. Provoke didnt seem to get very much response from it. He would not stay locked on the RDM, he would just attack it for a while then return to the NIN.

Tested Jelly Ring on Zarbzan, and removed it. Zarbzan did more damage with Jelly ring on.

111 Fire resistance wasnt enough to fully resist Zarbzan attacks. I would say it proc'd a 40% resistance.

Due to the sporadic nature of the damage, and the fact that it does stay high(to NIN, no M.D.B.) between 800-1200, it is safe to approach this ESS-attack under the mindset of it being magic damage.

Revision as of 17:21, 19 September 2009

Killed this solo as 75BST/37WHM on Sunday October 22, took about 20 minutes, Dropped Mrc. Mantle (besieged backpiece). I didnt see this info listed elsewhere, so might want to add it. --Fujilives 13:05, 22 October 2006 (EDT)

  • Soloable by Lv75 BST/WHM. It's tricky but possible to pull him without getting links. Stoneskin/Blink advised as you will get hit a *LOT* with Zarbzan. Kite him through Halvung using crawlers but beware of bombs.
  • Soloable by RDM75/BST37(72).start charm first crawler at aprrox 21:30 when crawler are sleeping to avoid aggro or link.trolls at NM will depop after crawler is dead.sleep crawler before charming and let NM wake it up with Zarbzan.can be fought at spawn point going down direction to bombs,there should be enough crawler,or at zone to mount zhayolm.Poison II + Bio II is a great help but be careful with hate balance.
  • Duo Rdm and Blm. Pull at night to avoid crawler. Nuke zone at Mount Z zone. SS/Phalx/Barfire. Easy fight if you can avoid ESS-death.
  • Duo'd by BLU + RDM at zone. Using primarily DOT's + Burst damage from BLU. Easy but watch out for Eagle Eye Shot can do 850+.
