If everyone is on maybe we will be able to do both SE and SW zones. Can a sac please see if Archain is able to come.

From experience 6 people with right jobs can do SE with little trouble. Only thing likely to give any trouble is the Third Floor boss which can charm.

People probably know this already but for those that don't here is a little info on SE zone.

1st Floor slimes (immune to blunt damage).
Boss = Slime

2nd Floor crabs (immune to slashing).
Boss = kraken with hundred fists.

3rd Floor Skeletons (immune to piercing).
Boss = corse with charm. Can charm many times.

4th Floor Weapons (immune to DD Magic aka Elemental nuke spells? i think..)
Boss = Weapon (RDM)

I know when i've gone on this zone as monk i've torn up the first 3 levels usually tanking as well so it really not a hard zone. People just need to be switched on for Corse boss that uses charm. Bard is going to need to use horde lullaby on charmed person.

Ideal setup would be NIN (h2h & dagger leveled), MNK, WAR (someone with skill in each weapon that is needed for zone!), RDM/WHM, BRD, WHM.

First floor is really simple. Kill everything. Save boss for last.

Second floor we will defeat all the crabs. They do link so be careful and stay back to avoid this happening. Kraken is a MNK NM with Hundred Fists. Lets have a RDM keep Grav on, give DD a chance to run away when it uses it without facing death. Do not use any DoT (damage over time spells). We will sleep the Kraken Boss when it uses 2 hour.

Third floor has undead mobs and they agro from a very large range via low HP. They also link. Need to keep on top of keeping these mobs debuffed (ice spikes, silence etc). Please be away that if oyu have low HP stay back far away. You are very capable of agroing and wiping the party.

I have fought the Corse without it using charm once and other times when it will use it right after the last person is uncharmed. BRD needs to be ready to sleep charmed person. Use Horde Lullaby as all your DD will be /nin with shadows. If your tank is charmed and the Corse is chasing Mages don't stand around, RUN please. lol...

Not much to say about the 4th Floor, they are your typical weapon mobs. The boss is a RDM and might need a few dispels at start.

DD that have skill in Dagger, Axe, Sword, H2H need to bring weapons to counter the mobs defense depending on what floor we are on.

I will check back here at work, but i will be afk at NPC on MNK.

If i have missed or over looked something say something. It's 1AM and i'm tired :D

I have no info on NE as i have only done the zone once.

edit:

Please bring RR item if you don't want to eat a R1 which is possible during a wipe, food, Echo drops etc.

SE was the only zone I had done prior to joining up with Negatron. I farmed my coins for a Brutal as a THF + RDM duo, and easily cleared the first two floors with just the two of us, so I have quite a bit of experience with those mobs at least. I have Club and H2H capped for the skeletons if you want me there.

SATA+True Strike is pretty respectable, even with a 22dmg Titan's Cudgel.
 
Yar thf is good DD also, On the off chance we have no WAR able to go i will switch a THF in for sure.

Just no idea who is showing today and if we will have enough for 2 zones or not.

Just like to have 2 Provokes if possible.
 
Currently we need chips from SE, and NE. If we have enough attendance we'll go for both zones. Both can be done w/ party.
 
LOL NE is what i meant >_>
 
Seems like BLU would be good for SE, since our spells have different traits, damage-wise. Cannonball and Frenetic Rip are Blunt, Disseverment is piercing, sword, Vertical Cleave, and Death Scissors are slashing. If we need RDM I'll come RDM, otherwise I think I'll try out BLU there if that's all right.
 
My NIN only has 200'ish dagger and also like mid-150's h2h so might not be the most effective on that. I will be going tonight. If we have enough to clear both zones, we could look forward to fighting Omega Friday, given attendance.

capped dagger nearly capped h2h on my ninja ummmm and fairly well rounded enmity eva dd wise also

If people get a chance to level certain weapon skills it will make things a lot smoother =)

I won't be out of work till an hour later of start time. Not sure how this is going to effect the run but i live 3 mins away from work and will leave ASAP.
 
I took my dagger from 90 to 200 recently, just trying to cap it. My h2h didnt get that high though. Knowing that it would be helpful on this, I will attempt to work on it by the next run we do.

It's no prob. It will help speed it up capping them though.

It's anzac day here so i may be able to leave an hour early, depends if busy or not.
 
Looking forward to it!

I just got home from Georgia last night and I did get a chance to talk with Gunman. I should be set to start going with you guys on Tuesday (29 APR) if all works out and you've got room.

I'm pretty sure every zone in Apollyon can be done with six people, the small shell I've been going with has cleared them all with 6 people and was mainly doing them to farm for the AF+1 items. The upside is that we've got almost two Proto-Omega pops, the downside was that we didn't think we could take him with 6-9 people, so the pops may be resting with someone a while as more people get Sea.

If there is a good reason (Proto-Ultima), these may motivate me to finish up my COR if needed. I don't really have a strong mage job for these yet, but I'm working on RDM also.



I'm lotting DRG AF+1 items because it appears SE felt sorry for the class and actually made the upgrades worth it. What the hell, +9ACC and +15% Wyvern HP on my otherwise semi-worthless pants? I'm going for that upgrade, lol.

I've already done the head (and WHMs and RDMs may hate me for it because I Spirit Link like a madman). I'm 5x modding the Spirit Link timer and boosting Empathy 3x as a future plan. The Wyvern is the solo DRG's lifeline and I've seen what he can do in Ballista, Besieged, and Salvage when you copy over buffs like Body Boost/Giant's Drink.

I'm set as whatever job you need me to come as, I've got most of my weapons skilled up and ready to go (with a few exceptions on the harder to cap defensive ones which I'll eventually take care of later).
My main purpose (besides getting the hands to finish the Homam set) is to get in with a scheduled activity every so often to feel like I'm part of a group accomplishing some sort of goal. I'm already kinda doing that somewhat with Salvage and I didn't want to drop Limbus boss fights completely just because I go in small groups.
