We went into the fight unaware of what exactly this NM could do as SMN80/WHM MNK78/NIN and SAM76/DNC. Halimede critted on almost every hit, and didn't seem to take an overly large amount of damage from anything. Thinking maybe a physical blood pact would've done better than Holy Mist. Even magic bursted it did under 500, so I'm wondering if it is resitant to magic attacks. It ripped very quickly through our party and two Rimes were enough to kill carby, so kiting doesn't really seem like an option. --Odins Raven 06:30, July 9, 2010 (UTC)
Chainspell + Hate Reset
Added some notes about Chainspell causing hate reset after every spell to the main page. My group only fought Halimede once today but there was no doubt it was ignoring the tanks once it cast a single spell on them during CS. Highly recommended to bring stunners to try and control it at low health, it bombarded our backline with -ga magic and nearly the 8 of us.
Other than that, successfully killed with 80PLD/NIN, 76PLD/NIN, 75BLM/WHMx2, 80GhornBRD 78RDM/WHM 80WHM/SCH and 75RNG/NIN. Finished the fight with the WHM and RDM weakened, one BLM dead, the 80PLD dead and the BRD dead on account of Chainspell taking us completely unawares. 1/1 on the Cape, dropped the Wing as well. --Lyall 04:17, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
