Hmm, at least three archers... Though there might be another one in the background. Color me surprised.

Sarcasm aside, grats.

delete... xxxxxxxxx

I heard there was already a thread for this... Why not use it... SERVER First biznich

Congratulations on the kill. I also hate to turn this into another class unbalancing issue, but it does appear that almost all groups that have made it this far are very ranged oriented.

I remember a lot of people whining their eyes out until today that archers were RUINED, NERFED TO DEATH and all that :D

By the way, as soon as people learn how to move, it'll be very possible even without archers.

True, with nasty AoE, things tend to favor Ranged DD, however Ranged DD alone isn't enough. esp with up to possible 6 adds at same time.

lolTHM's Banish does great dmg.

All the people crying about the archer nerf never really grasped the job to begin with... Archer even nerfed is still kicking out high end DPS.

And seriously the whole archer debacle of 2011 was over ONE CD for Christ sake.. ridiculous QQ's.

It must be all that skill ARC requires, sitting in the back performing action bar sweeps.

Lost my Linkshell recently, and it has been a pain getting in to parties. Seeing that all they want are Cons, Arcs, and Glas. Show some Lnc Love.

somebody sounds bitter..

If a melee has the means to be self sufficient or provide decent utility (able to heal self, Siphon TP etc, respectively) I don't see a reason to shun them. This coming from an ARC/THM.

All DD in the party had thne following Chainspell, Raise, Cure 3, Sac 3, even with that, standing close to Ogre or Batraal is like 1k dmg every 7 sec, there is no way to sustain for a long time, Mages curing them will only get more hate. Hate to admit i but its hard(possible) to do it with close range DD, we tried all set up, but the last set up we used was the good one, of course its a bit different from Ogre set up.

Hey man no matter how you did it, you did it. Grats on the kill.

Gratzzz! It was fun, isn't it ^^

Each person in our group had R50 melee's and archers and casters classes ranked up, we all opted to go with classes that would tax our heals the least. It wasn't about shunning ourselves, it was about what would be best for the clear. Having the abilities from all those others classes helped a ton in terms of keeping ourselves alive.

It's kinda hard with server latency though. I try to move even in solo play and still wind up getting hit by AoEs >.>

So what dropped??

Mitts of the Lone Knight and Canopus Bill

You guys should be running the YG up-loader next time.

I was more just speaking in general, but your point is understood. If you have all the options that's great.

Gold Chest(Batraal) = 100% drop of Armour(1-2x), Blue Chest = random drop of Dark Matter or Armour.

Won't give away the strategy.. But I will give everyone a little hint that have not beaten it yet.

Hint: positioning and sharing certain abilities/spells

That's all you really need to know. The thing about these bosses is the fight itself isn't hard but one or two screw ups by a healer or tank can cost you a full wipe. Once you understand positioning it's pretty cake walk in my opinion as long as everyone is on top of their game.

Good Luck!

Don't worry. I see you working on CON. You'll be invited.

Grats on the kills and take comfort in knowing that you are part of the 5% that can get past broken bs.

Nerf it so dubont and his band of bad LS members can kill it! Three days without the kill is just to much it needs a nerf!

I should be able to solo it on THM, JUST LIKE BEFORE THE PATCH.

THM/CON weren't broken, np.

You are the one calling for a nerf after 3 days. A challange was given to you a challenge that others are beating no problem. But after 3 days you are on the mat tapping. PLEASE SE NERF IT!

again, i said a slight nerf. There is definitely a problem when a mob can continuously spam AoEs as if his TP gain is 1000/sec.

A "slight nerf" is like "kinda pregnant"

Can't we all just shut the hell up and congratulate the winners. (especially the ones on Istory ~.^)

Im not with magitek these days but the people in their ls are top notch nice guys and dub is great player. Fought alongside him for quite a few months. I know that dub wants a balance between the jobs for the betterment of the game and wouldn't take away from someone elses accomplishments.

Gratz on the win to those who did :)
