Tried this earlier today with a party of 6. I tried evasion tanking this NM but it's accuracy must be incredibly high (386 evasion + Atma of the Sand Emperor), ate through shadows real quick, and when it spiral burst it always hit for more HP than I had (landed for 3,000+ consistently). We went 1/2 solely because BLM kited the NM around the rocks by the spawn location. Full party setup was THF/NIN, MNK/NIN, BRD/BLM, BLU/NIN, BLM, WHM (not sure on the subs for the mages), all level 90, didn't make much of a difference. If you're doing this for the seals I would suggest trying a different NM. If you want to set a record for most uses of the Atma of the Apocalypse raises in one fight I would recommend this NM.

Successful Trio with RDM/NIN SMN/SCH and THF/NIN. Good gear, could be Duo'd by RDM + SMN and solo'd by RDM, given time. RDM kited around a rock nearby the ???, Using Magic Att Atmas, keeping up shadows, ect, and using Blizz 3/4, THF poked it in the butt while RDM held Aggro, SMN used Merit BP (Heavenly Strike) using MM/Beyond and Apoc(could have used another MAtt atma but didnt want to risk it) peppering with Blizzard (around 164 dmg, but better than standing around doing nothing), keeping Regen II and Cures on the RDM as needed. Both the THF and Shiva died within seconds both times they pulled aggro. Bringing someone for yellow procs will be def. doable if they can kite once (if) they pull aggro. --Symari of Lakshmi 11:07, July 30, 2011 (UTC)

Revision as of 11:07, 30 July 2011

OK Attempted the chap last night with a decent party of 6 - suffice to say this did not go well. Did Spiral Burst and pretty much wiped out all of us. The rest were dead very soon thereafter. As previously stated there is nothing Lady about this bug and the filthy liar who claimed to have duo'd it - well you are a liar. There is not a chance in hell that this bug is taken down by anything less that a shit hot party of 6 atma'd to the max or a decent full alliance - Frooble - Fenrir


Popped this with 6 as our group was passing through purely out of curiousity and pretty much wiped within 10 seconds. Did a TP move called "Spiral Burst" that dropped all but two mages outside of AOE range (1800 AOE damage I believe). It then took down the two mages with hits for 600-800+ each. There is nothing lady about this bug. Beware. --Arwyn 17:12, December 14, 2010 (UTC)

This mob can crit for up to 900+ and Spiral Burst did about 4000 dmg to me and a warrior. So far the thf is the only DD left alive. This excuse for a bug is rather annoying. --Banigaru 6:16, December 22, 2010 (PST)

Successfully duo'd as 90 WHM/RDM and THF/NIN. Spiral Burst usually hit under 1k damage, highest was 2.6k. THF used RR/GH/IT atmas, WHM had 20/tick Refresh from atmas. Might recommend switching GH atma to C&D. Wore evasion gear pretty much full time. Have an above average evasion build with an evasion Kila+2. The hardest part really is hitting the thing. Ate sushi but it didn't seem to make a whole lot of difference. Used Feint every 2 mins and the fight took probably 25 minutes total. WHM didn't enfeeble mob any, if that does have anything to do with Spiral Burst damage. DarkJax 08:04, January 16, 2011 (UTC)

Tried this fight twice with 5 man party went 0/2. BRD WHM MNK THF BLM Had MNK main tank and THF incase the MNK went down. WHM couldn't keep MNK's hp up triple attack took out shadows most of the time AoE hurts really bad. I didn't want to land enfeebles because of the increased damage from TP so needless to say MNK went down the THF I don't think had a really good evasion setup in my opinion since he couldn't dodge a single attack and I took advice from wiki for an evasion tank. Started off using Acc. songs which I think is the way to go but switched to evasion songs to help defensively and it didn't help much. Stunned Tornado every chance we had. This think just hits fast and hard, might have to keep enfeebles on it and take your chances with the TP move. --AlmightyGERM - (GERM) Cerberus 18:25, February 16, 2011 (UTC)

Could you please elaborate on how you soloed this NM as NIN/WHM? Strategy? Equipment setup used? Items used? I just attempt a solo based on your description and he killed me in less than a minute.

How do you hit this darn bug?

Ok I see comments about THF tanking, and a NIN/WHM successful solo. Tried a duo NIN/DNC & WHM/RDM. Sorry to say but I don't see how this is possible with a straight tanking method. I have capped Katana skill, full Katana merits, and am quite well geared - used RR/GH/Sand Emporer (for the extra evasion but mainly the Accuracy+) and yet I think I landed about 1 or 2 hits. He TP'd and with one cure from the WHM I lost hate and he beat my healer to death.. Didn't have sushi on me at the time but popped the standard temp items - Stalwarts & Champions tonics and seemed to improve it slightly but definitely not enough to make an impact. Also assuming he has quite a high regain trait as he TP'd 4x times with the very little amount I was able to land hits.

If I am missing something here - please clue me onto it. - Alderin, Ragnarok.

It is possible, but will take long fight. I tanked this NM as THF too, and need Feint spam. Had equip with EVA/ACC boost, like Mirke Wardecors (augumented), Optical Hat and so on. Probably could use more acc and a little less eva equip mmh. And... need luck when she use Spiral Burst tho... Darkpearl 01:30, May 12, 2011 (UTC)

Would the poster who stated:

"Just solod this nin/whm was pretty easy used MM allure and RR atma, i also forgot shihei but didnt need them as it only hit me once or twice and a DS cure IV took care of hopes this helps"

Please identify yourself by Name and Server so that everyone can send you a /tell to express how Full of Shit they think you are?
