Baraera, level 13 whm spell, cast by a competant whm (i.e. stacks on the mnd+) This plus the best shell and oodles of int+ on the pld goes a long way to surviving such a barage. Strangely enough a well supported rdm usualy has a better chance at surviving things like that for 30 seconds (chainspell works with utsusemi) than even a pld, not to mention shell baraero phalanx and a tipicaly higher int. Out of all the classes, rdm are arguably the best equiped to withstand an all out magical attack. Course the way we're relegated to support roles means most people don't even realize this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-1163708525265800502006-11-16T12:22:00.000-08:002006-11-16T12:22:00.000-08:00Evilpaul, you are close.<BR/><BR/>The best way to deal with dobsonflies is this:<BR/><BR/>Step O: Pack of rabid summoners (3 or more) each pull out a crazed Shiva.<BR/>Step 1: Throw a sacrificial paladin at the flies to round them up.<BR/>Step 2: Paladin uses Invincible while token black mage casts Sleepga on the neatly organized flies and the rabid summoners use Astral Flow.<BR/>Step 3: Rabid summoners do Diamond Dust on gathered flies. Note here that not having all the flies in a bunch will be fatal to someone. Probably not the black mage tho, hahahahahaha. (Guess which job I was!)<BR/>Step 4: Flies should all be dead from having 3 or more Diamond Dusts to the face. Kill off any flies that survived with a Blizzaga. Lot your stupid ugly ass hat, then get warped the hell home.Meroduinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12449242505853125574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-1163672129604456262006-11-16T02:15:00.000-08:002006-11-16T02:15:00.000-08:00I got dragged out to kill these things three times about a year ago. Two of three times the PLD was instantly dropped as 7 or 8 flies simulcast Aero II on him.<BR/><BR/>I'm a career mage (BLM & SMN 75), so I didn't want a Sallet (only one ever dropped anyway), but ended up getting the Bandana.<BR/><BR/>The only decent way I can think of to do this would be a bunch of SMNs with supplies to Diamond Dust three times. <BR/><BR/>One SMN pulls with Shiva and Retreats. First SMN Sleepgas and waits for the Flies to gather. If it resists Shiva will last resonably long against their melee and she's virtually immune to Aero spells. Ten Aero 2s might take 10% of her HP. All the SMNs Diamond Dust (target the same Fly for hate reasons). <BR/><BR/>Work out a Release order ahead of time and have one of the SMNs resummon and Sleepga to grab hate (again, try to stick to the same fly).<BR/><BR/>Hopefully, you'll get ten dead flies with relatively few dead party members.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-1163653669823276752006-11-15T21:07:00.000-08:002006-11-15T21:07:00.000-08:00*ahem*<BR/><BR/>With a PLD tank we would have had a few precious seconds to land sleepga.<BR/><BR/>The difference is not great, but it is noticeable.Goblin Smithyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06988847269710312122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-1163651633602589722006-11-15T20:33:00.000-08:002006-11-15T20:33:00.000-08:00Back off ya leech.

Just finished Mays Blogs...<BR/><BR/>Few things to say:<BR/><BR/>1: Quit FFXII and Join WoW, we need GMs with more sense than a Donkey on Weed!<BR/><BR/>2: I get the feeling that you don't like WoW??? Why???<BR/><BR/>3: Becoming a WoW GM would allow you to perform horendous feats of merciless pain on WoWs many sucky players!!!<BR/><BR/>Personally i think if someone needs to call a GM, then they need to be killed... Horribly...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-1163637001542268372006-11-15T16:30:00.000-08:002006-11-15T16:30:00.000-08:00Again i want to thank you.

I was at that moment leveling my summon skills near the watchtower of San d'Oria. I got some stuff from the mog house and went on my way.<BR/><BR/>I came near La Theine Plateau. I was ready to take te tourist route to the dunes, since I was a mere level 12 Summoner and the orcs there could kill me.<BR/><BR/>I zoned from West Ronfaure into La Theine Plateau.<BR/><BR/>What the F... 2 orcs and 1 goblin near the zone! Okay, no reason to panic. I summoned Carbuncle and started running around them. One aggroed. Carby took care of that for me. So I kept on running. And got more aggro. As if that day La Theine Plateau was having an Orc convention, that many were there around.<BR/><BR/>Eventually I managed to zone into the Dunes with 13 HP left.<BR/><BR/>And during my kite-ing, I was wondering WHY the same type of orcs started attacking me with the same first attack... It got annoying.<BR/><BR/>Shit, poisoned... must keep running. Yaay Poison gone. Hey, new aggro, shit, poisoned again... etc.Kitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12300868337156655668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-1163568044751030062006-11-14T21:20:00.000-08:002006-11-14T21:20:00.000-08:00Rofl Dave that was great XD Yay Quest!Justinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08645980300398857394noreply@blogger.com
