| | | | let's see... the ones I play are WoW (Undead Warlock ftw! for the Horde!) City of Villains/COH as a Mastermind But FFXI is one I frequently play more than the above 2 ...that... game... seriously... is addictive. I'm on Quetzalcoatl server: 75 Smn ***All Summons all merited bp's***, 75 Blm, 75 Brd, 69 Whm, 65 Blu, and 63 Drk All other jobs would be lower. Summoner and Black Mage would be my main. ...Rarely if ever play Bard unless I totally want to Exp/merit-whore hella fast in parties. Bard basically being #1 merit-whore-master. *ws* yep, the new expansion comes out soon-ish.

| | | | | tonic-
*playful smirk* Because tonic sucks moblin-nads. Yup, tonic loves them moblins, because... they, love her. *ws* Mmm... moblin love good tonic? 
*slips a dark whisper into tonic's ear* Quetzalcoatl rocks! We just did Promyvion-Vahzl So yeah... that much closer to getting access to 'Sea' where you can only get some of the higher lvl BLU spells at. I'm actually set for BLU... only need one spell from Merrow-type mobs. >>>> "Tail Slap". Then I am set for spells through at least 73.
I've got even the rare ones like "Body Slam" which one can learn from dragons and "Memento Mori" from the uber tough Corse mobs in Attohwa Chasm
Promyvion-Vahzl was a pain in the arse to do! *lmao* First, it's long trek up the Spire... 2nd, you fight 1 NM, at the end of each main floor. (3 in all) ...they are slightly weaker versions of the Promyvion (dem, Holla, Mea) bosses.
and lastly, after you get through all the floors you've gotta beat the BCNM at the top of the Vahzl-spire.
the BCNM at the top... is basically, the 3 NM bosses (all at once... though they are the normal versions ...not the slightly weaker ones, you just fought)
They don't all attack/aggro, luckily when you start... If the party gets the 1st NM to 20% health.
The 2nd NM will then auto-aggro the nearest party member at that point.
And if the group happens to get the 2nd NM down to 20% health the 3rd NM will then auto-aggro.
We were very prepared though, planned it out well.
Melee should save WS/tp% til 1st NM around 20-25% then when the 2nd NM aggro's, one of the melee use terroranima on it. to terrorize it for 20-30 seconds, and make it run away in fear. Then, unleash everything the party has on the 1st NM to finish it off as quickly as can be done.
By the time the 1st one dies... the 2nd one should be coming back take the 2nd one, and repeat the strategy. *ws*
Things didn't go quite according to plan on the 2nd one at about 25% the 2nd War had taken considerable dmg from the 2nd NM and mages were almost drained on MP for healing when we happened to get it to 20% ...the 3rd NM to immediately auto-aggro'd him (he... being the most close to it.)
and ...basically, massacred the War in like one hit I say bad... because, that particular warrior happened to be holding another terroranima, which was to be used to keep the 3rd NM at bay while we killed the 2nd one. (That's what you call... being in the wrong place, at the wrong time... ...not good.) Which means... the 3rd NM is now free to rampage and massacre the entire party without much hesitation while the party is focused entirely on beating the 2nd NM...
So, the other 2 War's seeing that... used their 2hrs: Mighty Strikes to kill off the 2nd NM quickly. ...before the 3rd one managed to own us all.
that was anticipated though... I had a general notion that. (...from watching the others fight up the spire...)
We'd wiped out at least once during the fight vs the 3 Promy-Vahzl NMs it being considered one of 3 of the hardest BCNM's besides... the Snoll Tzar fight ...which a group has to beat in 45 seconds otherwise >>>>> it's an instant lose.
or the infamous airship battle in FFXI CoP 6-4. I keep hearing so many dreaded things about that one from people... like about how... parties wipe badly on the Omega Weapon (...in the 2nd part of the airship battle...) or about how, when fighting the last NM Ultima on the 3rd airship How Ultima spams Antimatter >>>> Equalizer >>>> Antimatter constantly over and over and over and over and over.
...someone said they got past omega and the 5 mammet-22 Zeta's good... but at Ultima... Things went horribly wrong when it hit 10% this guy told me that each time, the party he went with got to ultima they got it nearly down to 1% and wiped
When their PLD got 3-shotted by Ultima's spamming of Antimatter >>>> Equalizer >>>> Antimatter PLD took like 1500 dmg (instant death) He was the Pld ...the mages couldn't do anything about that literally. he said when he died... it just picked off the remaining people while it was at 1-2%. ...I can imagine them all going... orz.. or just being severely agitated ...that's just crazy.
the guy said he was so frustrated he was nearly about to quit the game after fighting 6-4 four times (...and being 4/4 losses on Ultima, badly...)
anyway in promy-vahzl, we planned out... that if, something should go horribly wrong during the BCNM and we wipe.
...and there's a high probability, that something unexpected will occur... or a random unforseeable mishap will happen at some point... that will wipe us out.
on the chance something goes wrong and someone is about to die or near close to death. We should make sure we fight near where we came in just above the stairs.
That way, mages can reraise safely and raise the other members and continue...
And we'd not hafta exit restart from the beginning and fight all 3 all over again. defeating 2 NM's already... taking the last one wouldn't be too difficult now.
If we were quick that is... Since there's a 30 minute time limit and all.
took a few minutes to re-plan things accordingly due to what happened,
while resting/waiting for weakness to wear off. (if you die in FFXI... another punishment besides losing exp generally is that the said person or people who die are afflicted with weakness which leaves them in a weakened state for 5 mins (during which your HP and MP will be stuck at 10% max for the entire duration of weakness til it wears)
Anyways, It was deemed best that SMN (Me) should 2hr: Astral Flow (Ifrit >>>> Inferno x3) when the NM is at 50% health, and if that doesn't kill it. and it might not. Just in case... RNG should also use his 2hr 'Eagle Eye Shot' which was definite overkill in the end... but, it worked, and we won. 
We had 7 members by the time we got to the top started out with 8, but one wasn't prepared for how long it would take to get to the top said that he was about to pass out. So he went to sleep.
the BCNM itself only allows 6 to fight the 3 NM's at any one time. Which meant 5 people had to do it twice.
for Ben, the extra Warrior. but we totally wiped the 2nd time around, we basically had no chance without our 2hrs being up. (only the swapped war and Rdm had such up) and RDM 2hr Chainspell is practically useless in that fight...
and mighty strikes? well... critical hits are nice... ...if you can hit your target... but 1 war 2hr isn't enough real base dmg.
The Rdm had to work. I and most of the other people were willing to stay til Ben got his done. but, 1 mage? ...uh... and no 2hr's up save that War (which it was used in the fight... when we wiped) really needed more high yield damage like Rng or Smn 2hr's.
Well, At least we got the win the first time around. *shrugs*
Wanna know the really funny part... there's a 30 minute time limit, right? when we won, our clear time was 29 mins and 12 seconds. only had 48 seconds to spare. *evil grin* Well, as long as it gets done... then ultimately, I don't care how long it takes.
I never wanna do that BCNM again, ever btw... I tried it before in 3-6 other parties wiped in all of them... one of them was with a nin taru tank... who... um... really sucked!
Although... ben I am sure wants his done... *looks at ben* he should, ask... >.> Tonic... she will LOVE Promy-Vahzl! she *coughs* loves promy's, YES! she love moblins, she love goblins... she love orc's... she love dorks... so I gotta assume... yeah, she WILL love promy-vahzl. *nod nod* Yep, ask her!
...I hate promy vahzl... actually... hate... would be a grave understatement of not only that area... but in general... just FFXI CoP 5-2... I doubt I'll ever be doing COP 5-2 again... ever. ...unless someone calls in a huge favor... and even then... I might just say uh chong-dong no speaka de english.
since 5-2 is more trouble than it's worth. not only is it far too much trouble to get people for, it's not worth doing in a party where the melee don't know what they are doing ...if you just wipe at the last BCNM at the top. (...waste of time, if that's what's going to happen.)
*walks around tonic in a small circle, then subtle slow dark whisper in her ear from behind* you should come to Quetzalcoatl fun... excitement... naked Mithra's! and a few other secret secret things like... for... example... this...

and also EQ11... *s* hmm.. not sure what server. i'll have to ask the boy in charge...

| | | | | Guild Wars for the win indeed!
I did an /age last night and have over 1000 hours logged for the game. All for a grand total of...150 bucks.
WoW blows. Have fun rebuying the same game, month after month with no content addition outside of the one expansion.

*eyes RunSaber* dude, that look you’re giving me. [ummm…] nvm
And I can see a naked mithra anytime I want, just walk into my mh and take a look at my char with no clothes on. /laughs
I haven’t don’t the promy fights yet. Trying to find schedules that will work with my ls. But I’ve tried a few, with pick up parties to no avail.
Right now I’ve been busy lvlling my thf, and my whm. Some day I’ll finish getting my war sub up to 37, and my sam to 75. heh.
And the only way I’d change servers is: 1. my whole ls did it too (cuz I’d soooo miss them and they are the bomb) 2. you be my gil sugah daddy. Hahaha 3. and if your economy is better then ours. 
Uh, there’s lots of other reasons I probably won’t switch. And why don’t you switch to mine? *l* too scared I’d make you do 5-2 again? Heh. also i need to tug people to help with the ZMs.
RS – you looking forward to the new expansion?
