adl since last update

[pretre]

has anyone tried adl since last update, me and a few others spam him to pay for our relic weapons and tonights run was first since update and some weird things happened.
he spawned 3 times in a row with chainspell active dropping ga spells 1 after another, also my 3000tp climactic rudra only did 1k dmg 2 spawns in a row, I do the ws the second he spawns so we can rudra sc him to death. has anyone else seen anything weird in adl since update?

This happens occasionally, and when it happens it lasts for several days... ADL has 2 modes. The normal mode is a melee mode; you pop it and it attacks with physical moves and use hardly any magic until it splits. In magic mode he starts with -ga3 and aoe enfeebles. This mode sucks. Server maintenances reset the magic mode so you gotta wait until the next emergency maintenance for it to reset.

really I did not know that ty does that explain the 3000tp 1k dmg rudra's though

[dasva]

That's easily explained by the first hit missing

[pretre]

really? 1k dmg with climactic on seems a bit low even for that and 2 ws in a row

[Byrth]

Low chance, but not impossible. He's probably right.

[dasva]

The odds of missing the first hit two times in a row? Yeah that is really low assuming you are anywhere near capped acc which I assume you are. But as Byrth says it will happen. I've gotten 2 1/8 resists in a row on lvl 1 mobs as a fully geared 99 blm before

But it would easily cause dmg to go that low. Remember a good 95% of your dmg is on the first hit with 3000 tp rudra's. I've actually seen a few dncs do all of 200-300 on some of the new more evasive UNMs lol. The whole 100% chance to hit feature on SA/TA is becoming one of it's more important features again

[pretre]

fair enough looks like I need to use thf rather than dnc good talk ty

[dasva]

Well I wouldn't say omg you have to thf all the things for rudra dnc works just fine if you are capping acc just remember that 1% of the time you will miss the first hit... of course thf can too if the mob turns and it's not bullied for SA or player moves with TA. Now for rather evasive stuff or when that 1% risk outweights dnc benefits yeah I'd take thf
