Talk:Mangy-tailed Marvin

Testimonials

• Trioable by a lv 80 THF, BLU and WHM, took <15 minutes with all carrots stunned, you shouldn't need 90 unless you're DD is very low or the BLU can't handle wild carrot. BLU did nothing but lock onto the mob and head butt wild carrot, using one disserverment after each TP move since he doesn't TP back to back. WHM hasted, dia'd, slow/para, etc. Never any danger. Good luck!

• Trioable by BLU80, MNK80, and RDM80. Long fight, very advisable to have at least 90 minutes to work with. All three players died at least twice. Vixietails 00:15, July 3, 2010 (UTC).

• Killed by an alliance of 11 players with PLD/nin, BRD, COR, RDM and multiple DD/nin- The most annoying thing was Wild Carrot. We killed a 15% and it recovered 10% each time, so we dropped its life only 5% each time. Maybe Stun is a good idea to be focus at Wild Carrot. Full drop though. Turbero

• Duoable by 2 BLM/RDMs via Pinning Method. Advised to always have a person watching out for Wild Carrot. Should one BLM need to rest, the other should pin him back and forth until fully recovered. /NIN is always recommended but not needed if you're confident in your pinning abilities for Whirl Claws. About a 10 minute fight. Currently 0/7 on the cape. Th4 each time. Xenophire - Another attempt at Marvin. Soloable by a skilled BLM/RDM with the assistance of Manafont toward the end of the fight. Convert is helpful. 0/8. :/ - Update : 0/12 with TH4. This cape doesn't exist.

• Duoed by 80NIN/DNC and 79RDM/DRK. Pulled him to Conflux #02 to avoid links while kiting after Wild Carrot. Stunning said Wild Carrot did take a bit of practice to stun, but save other buff/debuff casting until after TP moves and it's not too bad. Never resisted stun once, even though the my RDM Dark magic skill is under cap. If a Carrot does get through, it's advisable to kite him around a stone wall until his triple attack wears. Took us roughly 45-50mins, could have been much shorter if all Wild carrots were stunned. --Rirae 03:03, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Wild Carrot

The main article states "uses Wild Carrot with a huge delay"... I don't know if they adjusted him or something, but the delay on Carrot did not seem long at all. I'd suggest this statement be removed, or at least rephrased. Our BLMs were unable to stun him out of Wild Carrot during the battle, and the timing on at least some of the stuns looked appropriate. Stun (spell) did not seem to land for effect at other times during the battle either (such as trying to stun Foot Kick). It's possible Marvin is highly-resistant to or un-stunnable by the spell version. We did not have any BLU with us at the time to attempt BLU magic stuns. --Almont 17:42, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

Stun

We had a BLM in our group land stun (spell) BLU landed it a few times also iirc. --Sakuraryong 18:02, July 23, 2010 (UTC)
