Did a 5 Voidcluster Botulus Rex today on the test server, with a Pld. Was able to hold him forever, not enough damage to kill him solo but that is to be expected. His damage goes way down.

I used 5 clusters on 1 Rex.
It asks you how many you want to use 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. So I used all 5. Now I can't get any more because even on the test server its set to not let you buy anymore till next tally.
Only the person poping needs clusters, it cost me 500k to buy them.
Ah~ I thought at some point they said that multiple players could buy them and use them in a fight, however I am at a loss trying to find it. ><; Oh well, with those numbers VW will be much easier... Though I have to say, with those numbers VW might be able to be done without temps...
Which reminds me, I need to log onto the test server and test to see how much if any of VW can be soloed by RDM with those weakness items...
I soloed the T1 Sandy. I know, big deal, but still... That was without weakness items, and I mainly want to do it just because SE seems to do whatever they can from letting RDM go back to its soloing ways. If I can solo some of them it would be funny to me, and also mean that if I wanted I could actually do something when I'm bored and have the money, just go blow off some steam killin a VWNM or 2 who never drops what I want ^_^
The weakening items are for clears / runs where you want the atmacite and the win. Getting gear requires spamming them x4 ~ x6 per set which even at 1 item per set ends up being a pretty high cost when your looking at ~50 to get something you want (if your lucky). Its for those who need to kill the big stuff with 6-people who might not be the best geared chaps.
It's for people that didn't do voidwatch so far because the event is an epic fail. It gives people like me the opportunity to catch up to the last stage quickly, although I don't see why I'd do so because it much faster for me to trade 2 marrows for 1 meteor or arise if I ever want them so explain me why I should do 50 VW waiting to outlot the other 18 ?
It's reeeeallly fail.
Honestly it's going to help the ticket market (plus they are AHable). Lot's of people will just clear all the path then buy as many tickets as they want for bodies. I mean you have to face it ; It's going to be easier getting 5 tickets than spamming 100x18 ally voidfail.
Who does Prov Watcher in PUGs expressly for Meteor/Arise? Your scenario makes no sense. Also, if it helps the ticket market (which only covers glowy items), how does the weakening system fail? Your own example defeats your argument.
I suppose it could also help the 18-man PUGs who have trouble defeating some of the big bads. Only the popper loses weakening items, so each person in the 18-man PUG can take turns using 1 or 2 items to decrease the difficulty for all. For example, 18 rounds of Rex, 3 runs of 6 each, each person in the PUG pays 200k total for all 18 fights.
inb4 200k is big moniez....:cool:
