Morning everyone. I trust you remembered to listen to the William Shatner version of "Rocket Man" while I was gone?

Even with a couple of rdm/drks and kclub drks in tow I've been hearing the opposite from people so far. Well lets just say this. First time we went to zerg and died horribly. Had 2 kclub and 1 octave club drks with 3 brds. like 2-3 whms. 2 plds. And a random bit of DDs and support for a full 18 people.
Lost a few people after the loss went to straight tank it with like 14 people and only 1 pld (pre atonement days heck might have been before homam was that common) and won easy. Hell the only deaths we had or even close deaths were when stupid melees ran in/stayed in range when it was about to flare. Which considering it's conal and the tank was on the edge with his back to the edge that was just kinda sad lol. But the tank itself took like hardly anythign with his MDB and fire resist.
Zergs are always risk. Generally they allow for no chance for anything to go wrong and cause both you and the mob to go down fast. So it can easily go from win to loss like that.
Straight tanking it allows alot more leeway as long as your tank and his support is halfway decent.

What went wrong with your zerg? Haste wore. drks took dmg lowering there dmg. Some people probably weren't on there A game (shout group and all). Kept putting up stoneskin. The Flare moves still get thru.
Also mind you this was like late 05 so alot of gear/jas/ws and such weren't there or as common as now

We spread them out. 2nd one starting at around 45 after the first one so there was no chance of not having a time to lock. The last flare will pretty much get thru unless you perfectly time the cast (ie not chain stunning) and even if you did it will just do it right again and that will get thru and it will just keep trying till it does lol. The others can still get thru anyways with some bad luck on duration and such. Who knows maybe. It's not like it's a hard mob to tank. Assuming you have any tanks

I have like 5 different PLDs, lol. Think I already know which two would be the best for tanking based off gear.
Gonna grab breakfast real quick.

Doesn't have much hp either. 2-3 sams could take it down in time with just meditate run in ws and 2hring.
When we ended up straight tanking it alot of people kinda ended up standing around alot. Especially the octave club drk lol. Wish I remembered how much fire resist we had on the one tank. Guy barely took dmg the entire fight. I kept him alive on rdm pretty easy while doing random stuns and dispels and running into range for buffs

Ramuh.Rowland said: Dispels are such a *** on him. All he does is ProV and ShellV and stoneskin. Lol true. But the nice things about mobs like that are that if you dispel them alot it semi locks them into buffing themselves. The bad part about that is your rdms tend to get capped hate within 5-15min even if they aren't healing much if 1 is doing most the dispels depending on the mob
Side note: The ferret has figured out there is food in the fridge and has decided to try climbing in everytime it's open. Also he apparently likes time magazine

Yeah I try to balance hate but it's hard. Like when there are 3 rdm/drks and like 5 blm/rdm and 3 brds on T4 ZNM cerb but none will dispel. Every. Though many will shout for other people too lol. And only people stunning are 2-3 blms and instead of stunning GoH they are stunning or trying to stun the stoneskin move /facepalm.
But yeah some fights are made rediculously easier by just spamming dispel. Like the ZNM wamoura. A rdm and pld and 1-2 outside people for baby spawns could probably hold it until it raged if it does.
Or the T3 VNM pixie. Though it isn't as buff happy as some. But it's buffs are a little more crazy. Like I forget how high the regen is. The stoneskin is pretty bad and instant cast. Of course pro/shell. And the 10tp/tic regain is ouchy

The HP is one of the key factors in my thinking of doing zerg. 4 SAMs, 2 MNKs, and 3 DRKs should be able to take down quick.
I figure the RDM/WHM could focus on dispel along with whichever RDM/DRK wasn't chainspell+stunning. That should keep hate balanced for long enough.

Tbh, I think when all is said and done you're going to feel silly for putting so much effort into such an easy fight

Since we all can't be on the same linkshell in game, this can be our cross server linkshell thread.
Like most linkshells, it can be pretty dead at times. Other times it's full of intense conversations about either rl, gear, goals, pokemon or anything else you want to contribute.
We can cover any sort of topic at all, within reason of the forum rules. No real main topic, just a bunch of FFXIAH friends/people coming on and discussing random things.

Update: Sorry Eternaltriumph, too much has changed D: (Page 698)
Eternaltriumph said: Yeah Chuu. Bringing you up to speed, Ludoggy is the LS pedophile. I'm the fountain of random and useless knowledge that makes you go "Hrm" with the occasional side of "holy shit he said what?"
Kungfu is the LS nutjob, spouting super random things that are usually sexist, until Savvy or Alyria comes into the room. Then he's a classic case of sexual harrassment. Rumaha is also true to the second part; we're wondering about his sexuality though.
Daj is Ludoggy's gay lover. Not much else is known about this Asuran. Tairo is kinda new, but since is a female and Alyria's lesbian lover, she fit right in real quick.
Celene(F) and Rowland(M) are more of the shyer members, but often say things that are witty, have a good pun and sometimes cause three page discussions. Celene hates when people hit on her. It doesn't stop them from trying.
Krizz is just social and likes to kill time here during work Tbest is about the same, except tends to be a douche to guys and affectionate toward girls.
Alyria is the most social female, gets groped a lot without provoking it by others, and Tairo ends up stabbing people for it. Cai is just a barrel of lols, I might be gay for him. If I wasn't straight.
Not sure about Citag, s/he's new. Kiriyu is just an in-out kinda person. Says one thing every three days that every guy makes a big fuss over. Ludoggy gets really defensive since she's asian and underage (might be 18 now).
Artem is the wayward soul that makes you ponder the meaning of life by constantly reminding us life can suck. But he deals, and so do we. About the same for Savannah, except people are more "AWH!" to her because of a vagina involved.
Dasva is the ex military man (as is Krizz but this doesn't apply to him) who hates the world and plots a way to destroy most of it.
Number2 is kinda like a mix between Cai and I; never bashes, likes to laugh and has odd avatars. His current suits a lot of the convos this LS gets into. Barti is most well known for his moustache. He gives mousatche rides for a fee. I'm missing a few people but whatever. CARRY ON!
Luelle Smells.
