Chimera 18Min SR5C

I posed this on our server forums, but its full of baddies and none posted back!

Now that everyone has the dungeons on farm status, lets see your fastest completion times, VIA SS onry!

(Obviously we can cut about 1.5mins off of this still, trying to tighten it up a bit more!)

Not trolling, just keep it to yourselves. It doesn't "impress" anyone.

So what classes did you stack? :/

We know people can do speed runs, come back when you do it with at least one of every job/class. No this comment does not make me a troll, I just don't see a point to this when we all know you and everyone else class stacks.

Congrats either way

People post 16Min AV runs done by JPs etc. Just wanted to see what other people are doing as far as fastest times for CC...

No one is like "ZOMG WE ARE THE BEST"... Simple thread... no flaunting just wondering..

Thanks

It's not really a question of doing em, I just wanna see how fast people have done it. (By the way its not like we were gunning for doing it super fast. We just went through the run like normal, and won fast.)

I understand that, but it doesn't really matter how fast you done it. People are going to wanna know what you did and apply it to their own runs.

That's why when I see speed run, I don't care how fast people have done it but with why setup they used. Majority of people use the same setups. I'm waiting for someone to impress people with a full job/class run. It's just a personal opinion and preference. Which is why I and a lot of people want them to do away with TA. It promotes class stacking and doesn't make anything more "difficult". I don't know, just kind of ranting now.

Its closer to 19mins than 18. Just saying . . .

We full time Bard, and use WAR burn, then BLM burn.

Can use DRGs to swap WARs if you need, but for that run we used WAR burn until Chimera, then BLM burn for Chimera.

Most content pretty much requires 2 white mages. No need to be a smart*** but with only 7 jobs and REQUIRED to enter with 8 you have to have 2 of something. And having to white mages is better overall.

And yes, I'm glad they completed it with a full job party but I don't see the point in you posting ANOTHER speed run thread when there are so many others already on here. If you wanted that, go post in the other thread >.>

No one was posting another speed run thread. I just wanted to see if others have been doing it fast as well, and if so how fast... What is up your tushy?

Could just start doing what other groups do, enter with a mule, exit the mule at start. Anyways, with your logic of two White Mages being better over all, I'd disagree and say at least two Black Mages is better over all. Two White Mages is overkill...class stacking is still class stacking however you look at it. Just because one of those classes is healing most of the time doesn't make it not class stacking.

So did you use 2 white mages? If you did, I would just stop there. I just wish you could understand what I'm getting at. There are other threads talking about party setup and times they did it in. Plus you already posted it somewheres else, why again?

I'm not hating on you, just it's unnecessary lol

If you wanted this to be a "speed run screenshot thread" you should have probably tiled the thread "Speed run screenshot thread" instead of "Chimera 18min SR5C."

Yeah its just really not a big deal on a global scale anymore. Not to take away from your groups accomplishments, congrats and all. But even like you said (you guys weren't really even trying for a 'fastest' time).. noone really cares about the exact times, just as long as it's under the 25. I'm sure alot of us could go get screenies.. but meh.. what for.. nothing special to see. Maybe a 5 man speed run would be interesting? Idk..

setup? strat?

This thread really wasn't meant for that, but in a basic explanation:

5 WAR - 1 BRD - 2 WHM (Can use 1 WHM on Antling if you really want to) all the way up until Pesite room (1 of the WAR change to BLM here) Kill the room, have bard get far chest.

WARs change to BLMs.

Go into Chimera, pull it over traps until Phase 2, then kill it as fast as possible.

You asked a question in a thread (of which you are the OP) and i answered it, and you say that. Next time don't use a ? if you don't want an answer. GDI, I ALMOST thought you could be civil, but i got baited by the troll.

1st try and sloppy as hell.

But still counts XD

Scarface, I think you guys are handling trash inefficiently somewhere if this is your best time so far, but keep working on it I'm sure you'll improve that time. Good luck.

Our best so far was 17:40 with some slacking DPS and no tunnel worm strat so I'm sure you can get <17 no problem.

Edit: cutting a WHM (we used 2) from the whole run would probably get it down to around 16, maybe better.

Nice Screenshot. :D

Either way, we just ran through it normally. I'll put more effort into actually getting a sub 10min => Chimera room.

Sorry I only have the time saved from my parser, I didn't think it was good enough to screenshot. Our Chimera in that run was done in around 4:40 but I assume using tunnel worms and only 1 WHM you can get that down considerably lower. If you can engage Chimera in 10 minutes as you suggest that would probably be 13-14 minutes which would be worth posting for sure but I think that's a bit optimistic.

I think we can for sure, we usually run 2 WHMs full-time and kill Princess somewhere around the 52minute mark.

Screenies to follow if we get sub 10min => Chimera room... This would involve actually trying though.

This is about how hard CC is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyDiSk3-HuY

Grats! Although I could've told you that this would be filled with troll comments from the moment you posted it lol, not sure if you were expecting a different reaction.

As for the run, I've heard of 18min speed runs and the like enough times by now to where I'm muuuuch more interested in a thread that shows speed runs with balanced classes. Class stacking brd/blms has already proven that it can go through the content pretty fast already, so it'd be nice if I could see a video that was..different.

Can you please keep this in-game or at least to your own server's forum (or preferably just blacklist each other)?

Hello everyone,

First off, thank you all for posting here in this thread. As there is already a thread on this matter though, we will be closing this one down. And you may see some posts disappear for inappropriate content as well. Thanks again everyone and have an excellent day.
