To Slay A King

[CrystalWeapon]

One of the most fun fights I've had was a duo (Drg, Whm) vs the three demons in the sam af helm fight. This was at the 75 cap and before /blu was an option. I had to run out of range of the initial big nuke after engaging them. After making quick work of the mage demon, it got easier but at one point it came down to a benidiction saving me after I dropped down to 30 hp. After a bad start and a major mishap in the middle of the match it felt so good to watch that last demon hit the floor. The win with two people was more exciting than the af at the time.

The first Shadow Lord fight was easily my most memorable.

Good topic.

Mine had to be A moogle expansion when it first came out. The limit break was still 75, there were know real easy fights yet and everyone was still experimenting on how to defeat that evil fat Moogle lol. Anyways I went 0/4 cuz i went to other parties w/ leaders that didnt know squat on what to do... so eh i decided to start my own party. I did my shouts in WHG and got the jobs needed. When we arrived to Upper Castle right b4 the zone for boss fight i took like 15 minutes to explain the fight and what to do and not to do. LOL well we all were ready and went in and all i can say is oh shiznat adrenaline pumping, fingers typing fast, controller moving around like it has jet packs on the sides lol. Well we finally won and everyone couldnt stop thanking me and congratulating each other and what not lol it was great. That fight might be cake now, but when the xpansion first came out and know one really knew how to fight it was when it was a challenge and a lot of fun.

My first ever sky event, the great and powerful GENBU! It was almost 45 minutes, and I was only a level 66ish ninja full timing af legs. >.> Not really one of my proudest moments.

I remember fighting a random fafnir in early 2005, before the MPK patch where mobs despawn, and some noob LS was mad my LS kept outclaiming them. They pulled about 10 spiders on top of us, and made fafnir flail us. I was on RDM and the only one who lived threw flail. I promptly ran away from fafnir, and ES slept it, chainspell raise 1, then my LS recovered and we killed 3 or 4 of the spiders I did not manage to avoid, and fafnir, without it ever going unclaimed. It was a pretty amazing accomplishment at the time.

I'd have to say the final battle of CoP. Actually, most of the CoP mission bosses would qualify. They were extremely challenging, which made it all the more worthwhile when I finally won.

Like many of you, I've been through way more fights than I can remember. But I do remember one interesting fight with Hakutaku about 5 years ago to get a hat for my friend (around the time when Mazurka was exploited as a way to gank NMs from RMT because it built so much enmity so rapidly).

There were 7 of us: WHM, 3 BLM, a NIN, a BRD, and myself on RNG. The NIN did nothing and stood back. I was only there to keep up the DPS. The BLMs rotated stuns and nuked in their down time. And finally, the BRD; The BRD subbed NIN and back-tanked Hakutaku through the entire fight, spamming Mazurka for hate, and keeping March up for Utsu recast. I, as RNG, rarely pulled hate from this BRD, and the BLMs didn't even have a chance. The fight went exceptionally well, with no deaths, and the BRD proved they could be used as more than just support.

Nothing really exciting happened I suppose, but at the time peoples' perspectives were very different then. I was quite amazed at how well that went.
