Just thought I'd tell you that you're not the only one. I can do the other three easy ones, but Iratham is a little ***. I've fought him 2-3 times and it turned into zombie-ing.

Is the curse move stunnable? Might be more valuable to stun that than -agas.

I'm honestly confused. I have done this plenty of times and it's easy to survive. Does your whm have capped shellra5? Are you using MDB gear?

The last time I fought this guy was before I got all pimped out and ***, but if I remember correctly he's pretty much easy until he's not. I'll give him a run tonight with a stunbot and check it out.

Do you remember any other info draylo like dmg taken or jobs and # people?

Yes I've duoed it a lot with my friend, normally go MNK but my THF has done it as well. I take around 1.5~2k dmg, with cureskin prior you should be fine.

THF uses holy water and immediately swaps to MDT as a preventative measure, WHM casts cure. Easy.

it's typical because i've used it and it works.

getting unlucky is another thing, but it shouldn't lead to constant wiping warranting a thread imo :/ good luck next time?

Wiki says it does, but honestly, I never really noticed. If it did by 50%, I think I would notice a 3K -ga IV hitting me instead of a 2200ish one.

A blizzard V typically removes the magic shield, but I never pay attention to the damage. As it's been mentioned above, w/ mdt/mdb set and capped shellra V, with full hp, there is no reason shadow wreck should 1-shot you.

Dboxed this a few times rather easily.. I don't use pl bot.
Done it as both thf and nin + whm.
Just erase and cursna ASAP, and keep barbliz up. I got a really bad mdt "set" on those jobs, and it was still rather easy :/
Full dd atmas etc

I shout for this guy all the time, if you see me shouting send a tell. I just need 1 balance jewel from him. But honestly, just carry holy waters. Most WHM don't realize you can't cure while cursed, so they waste time, and never cursna. They just see yellow HP and cure.

yeah I think that's the best way to handle this. and also for anyone reading every single one of his tp moves is short range as soon as he does one even (curse and strong gravity) below 50% when he does 2 tp moves back to back, you can still run like 10 yalms and be out of range of even shadow wreck freely

Would accursed belt null the effect of curse? (no idea just a thought)

My other question if anyone was a nerd with this NM was With his Stygian attack and it's magic dmg boost 50%/Magic defense 50% apparently it's removed by doing magic dmg. Has anyone found values for that? I'm never on blm when I fight him to explore it
Dunno exact, but I have knocked it off as thf+whm just using one round of whm nukes, it's not that strong.
