[dev1139] Embrava and Prefect Defense - Just say 'NO'

[saevel]

And WAR+Reso absolutely destroys this mob. 20k damage in a matter of seconds is nothing to downplay.

Only if you MS, and that's once per run. We've been slightly altering our strategy as we found that we simply kill too fast after it splits. The typical strategy is to shock it right after split, then shock it again near 25%, yet we kill so fast that it's often at 10% or so when it comes out of squall. So instead after split we're telling our SMN's to wait a few more seconds then shock it so that it lasts throughout the <25% phase.

Got 10 marrows last Sunday but had two wipes due to implosion followed by quad split.

You would have done this strat months ago if you read my videos. You must keep the second SS for the second clone. It's optimal to stun at 30%.

One does not read videos, they watch them, and read posts. :P

Completely agree nothing is more important then Squalling the final 20%. After the split there is no such thing as killing too fast. You can live through implosion + 4 ADLs with some luck but you'll want to get to the point as fast as possible.

I firmly believe that Embrava and Alexander SHOULD NOT BE NERFED.

This will only serve to make the player base furious and make even more of the remaining players quit

Think back to the Absolute Virtue change after people started zerging him with Krakens and Blood Weapon. It did not change anything people just stopped fighting him for however many years until the cap was increased because they couldn't win until he was zergable again. Not to mention by the time he was killable again most items he dropped were no longer anything overwhelmingly special.

If this update is pushed through it will just mean players who love SCH and SMN will be blacklisted from playing them to even more events than they already are now

I really enjoy the FFXI development team they have brought us many good years of content and a amazing game to play. I however, do not want them to ignore the player base about this matter.

The problem there was not the KC nerf but AV being irrationally tough. It's the same here. PD and Embrava should definitely be nerfed, but not before the content is adjusted accordingly.

All I see is: "Prefect."
