Again, it's common knowledge what it takes to make the fight work properly. If you want to empty the ocean with a teaspoon, be my guest- I'm not hanging around to help you on your epic journey of derp.
I don't know why people don't get this. When I went to get serpentes cuffs(?) from the corse, I originally tried as thf. I was slowly taking him down but after about 10 minutes it didn't feel worth it. I'd make a dent, then accidentally heal him back up. I decided my attack speed wasn't worth the hassle of trying to kill him. So I warped out and came as another job. This time I killed him in a reasonable amount of time. Sure, it didn't cost me anything other than a free warp scroll and some cruor, but there is a time to cut your losses and rethink strategy.
