Job Discussion for Xarc Clear

onorok

O N O
What would your ideal alliance look like, job-wise, for this effort? And I am speaking about one alliance, acting as the key group for the zerg.
 
I was planning to shoot for this setup as participants allow:

5+ WHM
4+ RDM/DRK
2 THF
1 BLU
1 DRG
4+ BRD
4+ DD
3+ PLD
5+ BLM
1 COR for each BLM pt

Organized something like this:
WHM RDM BRD THF DD DD
WHM RDM BRD THF DD DD
WHM RDM BRD BLU DRG PLD
WHM WHM BRD RDM PLD PLD
BLM BLM BLM BLM BLM COR

Obviously we would like to have more than 4 DD and more RDM/DRKs. But I see this as being the minimum setup with which we would want to attempt to clear.

As for the key group I suppose you could look at the first three groups there as the key zerg part. Key will be RDM/DRK stuns as well as Angon/Feint/Invincible orders.

With all those THF and DRG, who is going to kill DL? Iirc, he is not evasive and does not have high def - I tanked one kill on mnk with meat, 2x minuet, and hundred fists.
 
First of all last I checked DRG are DD.

Second of all we need at least 2 THF for the run anyway and having 3 is not going to hurt us so much that we will wipe.

If you will read my post I noted that this is the MINIMUM with which we would want to attempt. This was meant to suggest to people that if we have more people then we would add in more DD.

As to Heie's comment I think that is a small price to help insure that we clear. Considering that we did not get much in the way of currency last run the impact is not that great.
 
lol ouch, I DONT LIKE BRD NEWAY HMPH :arg:

I like heie's suggestion
 
Wasn't personal Xav :tounge-1:
I was refering to Jailer of LO(LICANBALLADMYSELF)VE

Would just like to clarify.. on the subject of setup. Obviously if we have more people I would want more DD. PTs can be rearranged for DL such that THFs are out of BRD PTs. I was trying to build the ideal for what I expect as far as attendance. Anyone who has been coming regularly I think will agree that 30 is a generous number for how many are at the average dynamis run.
 

Yeah because Angon is useless. lol

Feint + Angon goes a long way on DL

Also, one DRG can handle defense down between Spirit Surge and Angon. Even at base levels that's about 45-60 seconds. If he lasts much longer than that, we're dead anyway.
 
Plan is to have enough rdm/drk to have stunned for a minute and half. Basically have 1:30 to do 100,000 dmg.
 
I wasn't aware that one DRG could keep Angon up for the whole fight. With this in mind that can be Pixie's job and we will fill the other spots with DDs which do not need to be DRG.
 
That would be good. As we are low manning this I definately want to keep Angon and Feint in mind while assigning jobs. If Pixie could keep it up alone though that frees you to come as either PLD or WHM if needed which gives us more flexiblity.
 
Supposedly DEF down from Spirit Surge + Jump lasts a full minute. Provided she doesn't get slept or eaten, Pix should be able to handle the full time needed if it turns out we need me on another job.
 
My post was made more in jest than anything. I've had a compulsion to flip DRGs shit ever since the Moravius Incident. Yes I know there was a 2 hander buff, but still...
 
I was joking as well, I know drg's have use I've just never liked them since I started playing this game way back (NA PC release) every little 15yr old kid was lvling drg and I couldn't stand them. Drg has come a long way since and is useful. I've just never come around to acknowledging them over other melee. Personal pref thats all.
 
Might sound crazy but add a BLU in there for more debuffs?

I can come either BLU or DNC tonight, if we want to see the effectiveness of BLU debuffs (Frightful Roar, Head Butt spam, etc.) or DNC steps (thinking Box Steps for defense down and Stutter Steps for magic resistance down).
