Ambuscade Vol.1 March 2019
We just had access to double cor at the time. Three summoners would be better, but doable with two. We take the Den of Rancor homepoint.

Anyone figured out the gimmick to Everyone's Virulence? It usually does 100-500 to me on RUN, but occasionally does 99999.

How is the fight on normal? Ive heard its rough this month, but that was on higher difficulties
aside from the random 99k dmg even with hate reset, this month is pretty easy.

As I said previously the same thing happened in our ls run, our tank was resetting each fight with us, first rancor he took 99k damage, 30 sec later second rancor he took 100 damage Just got an Uggalepih Necklace from NNI last night, never knew what it did. Quite the coincidence it dropped this month.
Wait.
Is tanking it super easy if you just tank at 3K TP with Uggalepih Necklace on? Cause that sure sounds like itll make it easy. It consumes tp to block the move so you can still get hit for some dmg if you can't get back up before it uses it again. Also forget if it's used here but Light of Penance can ruin your day too if you don't turn fast enough. But even if you don't get the full 3k protection it can still help when in addition to CFH and/or resetting a lot

Virulence isn't hate based, and will vary massively within the same fight for some reason with no Tonberries killed in between. Curious what mechanic we're missing then, there's no way it's just a random "*** off" move.
Shiva.Spathaian said: » Curious what mechanic we're missing then, there's no way it's just a random "*** off" move. Yes, it absolutely could be. You're trying to be logical, and nothing they do is logical, so. yeah. Just like last month. Q's use pd for "some reason" we're -never- going to find out how or why. it just is what it is.

 This was literally a fight after I just got KI > erased hate > CFH until monarch. Ragnarok.Lockfort said: » This was literally a fight after I just got KI > erased hate > CFH until monarch. I got that too, on second fight after hate reset. I was on PLD, full dt set, so he hit me for over 200k! Bayonette did you also CFH on any of the monsters? Geriond? Maybe that has something to do with it.

Hell for all we know it's happening because of the call for help strat. Theres something that triggers it, for sure. "3 members hp ends in 5" "one person didnt eat food" "you don't use a whole party of taru" "no one, or too many wearing new ambuscade weapons" "they're secretly apkallu in tonberry costumes and it's based on apkallu hate"

SE has long been known to institute random "i win" mechanics without any explanation or way around it. And if there is a way around it, it's so absurdly comical that nobody would guess it without either extremely dedicated testing (at some point, who cares anymore) or by sheer luck.
Who the hell would have ever known in 2012 that fuming a VW boss after a certain period of time reset procs? These roadblocks don't even make logical sense half the time. They don't have to. Asura.Eiryl said: » Theres something that triggers it, for sure. "3 members hp ends in 5" "one person didnt eat food" "you don't use a whole party of taru" "no one, or too many wearing new ambuscade weapons" lmao, this sounds exactly like a SE mechanic. You can't even blame SE anymore. I still remember when the first group reached 135 Infailsion, and the NPC just ate their entry KI. When they asked SE what happened, their response was "cuz lore, velkks are mean, congrats!" Virulence... clearly it has to do with debuffs!
Im gonna guess it gets triggered based on doing too much damage too fast. Thats my gut response.
Kind of a "*** you" button for zerging too hard too fast. If we can just power through it though, whatevs. The fact that even max dmg attacks arent a huge setback nowadays is funny. I like using the proto-waypoint to get KI & reset hate.
Go south and through the door to find EP mobs for KI. make a right from that room to get to the NPC that resets tonberry hate. perfect. Oh btw, frailty isn't exactly necessary for the fight as their defenses are rather low. You can actually skip a GEO and use a COR (with dark shot for dispel). Just Magus roll in place of an early Fend.
We use
RUN/WHM/GEO/BRD/DD COR/Heavy DD Asura.Saevel said: » We use RUN/WHM/GEO/BRD/DD COR/Heavy DD And you can likely improve kill speed with changing GEO to another DD. Maybe even a DD RUN to get a second One for All (one in case of second AF, one in case of Mijin) Asura.Ladyofhonor said: » Asura.Saevel said: » We use RUN/WHM/GEO/BRD/DD COR/Heavy DD And you can likely improve kill speed with changing GEO to another DD. Maybe even a DD RUN to get a second One for All (one in case of second AF, one in case of Mijin) We've tried different configurations, this is by far the fastest. Doesn't even seem to matter but is everyone getting hit by the 99k a tank?
could be something similar to kin's death sentence in which he tends to not(ever?) use it unless the tanks threat is far above everyone elses? so maybe damage based on how much further ahead tanks enmity is than others?

I'm at 82.8k total hallmarks, with only like 4 maybe 5 seals uses, and haven't yet seen 99k on me. I DD'd a few of those but don't recall the tank there mentioning it either. |
