Yes when a buff or debuff lands a few mobs generally peel off to the DoL/DoH

Surived and lost on Durandal all pt survived but got all items taken lol

Just won two with a pickup group on Aegis, second one was perfect.. 1 DoH (me) and 7 combatants... wasn't really paying enough attention to know how that side of the fight was going. I mostly alternated defense and regen buffs for the militia.

We mostly got DM, but one person got a militia barbut.

Oh, and apparently we scored 100 extra points for "Reckless Crafting Employed" XD

Don't worry Durandal we put the Hamlet on our back and TOUUUUCHHHHDDDOOOOOWWWWWWNNNN.

Overtuned? Or underfortified? Remember how in XI people got wtfcurbstomped till they realized doing their walmart turban quest boosted the defense? xD

Did it with this set up: 1 DoH, 1 DoL, 3 Warriors, 2 WHMs, 1 Bard. Buffing the Archers helps a lot. Got a bunch of the Purple Star Prisms, some DM and an Ixali Eboknot (which of course went to me).

just got win 2whm 1brd for acc up 1 pug for more dmg on main boss 3 war 1 blm

As in, my first opinion of the hamlet defense is that, for what was seemingly advertised as "everyone can do this" content, it is a bit on the difficult side.

That was my first impression of it atleast. Once people understand how the debuffs work a bit better and get a system down it will probably be much easier, but I don't think I, or the giant piled of about 60 dead bodies that came out of the instance within the first 2 minutes was expecting it to be this difficult.

So fun XD. Just finished a run with only one npc fatality. Will be pretty easy now that we know what we're doing, but with higher difficulties coming think this will be fun for a while. Free anima rocks too, never have to worry about teleporting ever again.

It kind of brings back memories of the early days in WotG, when campaign was pretty much nigh impossible, only there are no nerobots singing away while the beastman juggernaut burns your home nation down around you.
