New 99 trials

And now tell me, when he splits, how do you know which is the real one so you can kill it before PD wears off?

There is actually a pretty easy and fail proof way....

I think 6 can take him. Probably not more then twice in 1 run. (lucky COR 2hr) MNK/WAR/DRK,MNK/WAR/DRK,BRD,COR,SMN,SCH/BLM (embruva/stunga)

Killing him too fast can make the figher harder, which favors 6 good players.

Pchan speaks a lot of garbage but I think its doable with 6, possibly twice in one run. Ideally you'd want a 7th for TH and if you want a guarenteed win you'd have a 2nd pty standing outside of 50' ready for PD zerg incase of AoE terror.

There is also the upcoming AoE nerf which could make him even easier.

COR is useless in your setup (what rolls ? does this beat a 3rd mnk?). Same goes with the SCH. Killing him too fast does make it harder ? How ? I read the last post on the BG thread and me and mdk are nearly 100% certain that the huge stoneskin thing is bullcrap, we think they are mixing with the fact that he takes zero damage when summoning. Which lasts a few seconds.

You kill them one by one ; I'm not sure what so hard to understand.

You're right, were dumb...how about you make a video and show us.

I think Pchan likes to blow a lot of smoke without facts or proof to back him up, so I will try to provide some observations from an actual recent kill. We just killed ADL in shell this week and at level 99, I can say that he is much easier than people think. 18 people definitely isn't required, but he literally melted with the 18 we brought, so smaller groups can do quite well here. (We chose the right clone after first split and the whole fight didn't last longer than 20-25 seconds. PD was still on as we were running down the slope to farm more Tome NM's.)

I think an average group with 12 people can take down original + 2 clones before PD wears, and an excellent pimped-out group of 6-8 can take down original + 1 clone. If the 6-8 person party chooses wrong the first time, they will probably wipe. The fight is still pure luck of course unless SE ninja-fixes it.

Oh noes look post after post this thread goes ineluctably towards pchan is right.

[Mahoro]

To be fair, I think people were rankling at some of the claims you made re: duoing Tome NMs etc., without providing proof. I can't say I disagree with them :P

Keep in mind when I say original + 1 clone, I mean bringing original mob down from 100-60% ish, then it clones, people choose one clone and bring it down from 60-0%. It is basically bringing ONE mob down from 100-0, which I DO think is possible with 6 people. You just have to be lucky, which is what sucks about this fight. An extra party allows you to spin the roulette wheel TWICE and maybe kill two clones. A full alliance of 18 allows you to spin the roulette wheel THREE times or more.

[MarkovChain]

The only advantage of a full alliance is poping a dozen of ADL.

Lol what? You do speak English right?
POST SCREENSHOTS jesus christ.

Ya know what? After this long, he is admitting he can't do it. It's ok buddy we all knew from day 1.

Case closed, you heard it from PChan himself- He was mistaken in his claims.

/sh "Casino" "General Discussion" "99 Trials thread" Bet on how it will end! Winners everytime!

1: ~chan gives up AND admits he's wrong (1,000,000 :1)
2: ~chan just stops posting (10:1)
3: Thread gets locked (2:1)
4: someone posts pic's of chan wiping to ADL (5:1) DL (10:1)
5 ~chan stop's posting because he buys all the items and says he did it himself (50:1)

Place your bets!

No option for he keeps stammering it can be done w/o posting proof because that would mean the thread doesn't end.
