or even, if fishy had/hadn't planned on his sub yet-->
tim vokes and tanks as normal, fishy would sneak RR on the snoll, I'd sata guillotine back on tim(this is fragmentation as well as a fuck load of dmg for the first 10 seconds.)
Tim invincible shortly after SC and fight should be done quick. if we use one salt i really think this will be a hella easy fight, two salts ensure victory.
We should atleast do 8.1 asap friday, and I'd love to do 8.2. It is, however, a 4 hour mission and if we fuck up we have to redo it entirely. so assuming our normal 'start' time of 8, we'd be finishing up rather late. That's not a problem for me, and only having one fight left for saturday would be nice.
Ugh, found out that I'm working saturday, so normally this would mean stayign up late = fuck. But meh fuck it, lets bust that mission out in record time(4 hours is a crock i bet) and when i get home saturday we'll rape promathia ruo-style.
Ok, so we have the pot bcnm today. Walk thru says we can store tp before entering and that the pots are very weak to nukes suggesting that a powerful skillchain+mb is the only way to go. Up front, I'd think we go in, have ruo/tim make light and fishy burst and hopefully be able to tear down remaining HP quick enough before other three wake up. Use iccy wings and repeat for #2 then see what shape we're in.
just writing these ideas down in case i forget them by tomorrow
ramblings of a quetre and ruo: That stun attack seltheus uses seems to last 10-20 seconds. We can utilize that time to do a huge amount of damage without worry of instant return fire. Suggestions~ throw one taru and his 2hr at a time at promathia and hope to get the maximum out of him before being squashed.
How do we do this? Suggestions~ have prishe and a smn avatar act as tanks, when avatar would steal hate for 4-5 hits allowing prishe relief and using rdm/whms to keep prishe alive.
If estimated at 12-13000 HP on form 2 and assumign fishy can hit 1000 DMG raging rushes, if he subs sam, thats 3x weapon skills for him, 1/4th life gone. Next up ruo taru, who could sub war or rng, and he gets anywhere from 2-6 weapon skills till he dies, each 200-1000?(no clue how strong he is really)
All of the above of course is done during the stun or while prishe is the only thing feeding promathia TP. My avatar would be doing 200-800 assumedly at best every 60 seconds, and using math i just invented, we should be able to bring this guy down very safely using this strategy.
Thigns to consider: keeping mp up on whm/rdm/smn in order to keep prishe alive and avatar consistant. /healing may draw hate on my part due to the gay /bloodpact nerfage, but ayd should be able to /heal np since healing NPC draws no attention. As for Tim's job...I guess to even get to form 2 we needa tank for form 1. Paladin it up and be our back up/last resort on form 2?
I think we do need to gear defensively vs offensively for this one, seeing as how we never know when he's going to amnesia or silence.
Soooo what if we went: Ruo Sam/thf Tim pld/war ayd whm/blm quet smn/whm mabon rdm/whatever fishy blm/rdm
After we take down the First form, all we do is let prische tank except smn elease and ruo sata ws (i think we can use tim as a sata partner, if he kites long enough, he'll lose hate to prishe) the rest of us will spend our time healing prishe and keep quetre alive to make sure he can bloodpact w/o too much fear.
in order to ensure quet's mp stays up, perhaps we should all go with an ether tank, and keep as many ethers up in our bazaar as possible. allowing him to pick up as many ethers as he needs to keep his mp up.
Hopefully between Stoneskin and whatnot we'll be able to take a meteor in the mouth and each person be able to heal themselves back up to the safe range.
This strategy will not win us any time points, but I think we can safely do it this way.
A slightly more aggressive strategy would be to split the party into two teams.
Tim pld/war - Ayd whm/blm Quet nin/war - fishy blm/whm
Ruo sam/thf Mabon rdm/whatever
After the first form have one team sit back while the other attacks. ruo uses hes TAWS on whatever tank is currently fighting promathia and then bugs out. Mabon and whichever healer is up atm needs to make sure that prishe stays healed.
if one group wipes, the other group either kites it or takes over tanking. when ruo's TAWS is ready again, he comes in and nails it again.
We then just keep rotating parties until we win.
This strategy is much more risky in that when a person dies at promathias feet it's tough to reraise and get the fuck out, so it may involve the new team kiting promathia as far away as possible.
how about I just go SAM/RNG and pwn Promathia with the awesome?
Why not? Oh that's right, cause tim dies and then Promathia pwns me after 5, count em 5!! sidewinders to the brain. Then I sit in the corner minding my own damn business and some fools gets hate and meteors my ass into submission 3 times. You can all go to hell and thanks for getting my exp back this afternoon it was great love you guys
