Mongrels haters thread

since they're the most overpowered mob at this moment...

we should share strategy to fight against them, for each class

:D



my strategy, for a solo conjurer vs 2 mongrels:

1. Profundity II + elemental spell
2. Sleep both of them
3. AoE off and attack one of them
4. Punishing Barbs after his HP down to 50%
5. after the first one died don't touch the second until Profundity available again
6. wake him up with Profundity II + elemental spell and finish him with another spell

Oh come on, they're no worse than the giant bats, and they don't need changing.

there aren't any overpowered mobs in this game.

twisting vice ftw, then they cant get all of their HP back in one hit

They are easy. not overpowered at all.

this remind me every undead in ffxi, since almost everyone had aoe drain

Things said above and have tank with featherfoot...or decoy...or diversion...or all 3!

Though our methods differ, I do share a deep loathing for mongrel types, and I feel this screeny sums up my, slightly more reckless, GLA strategy for ridding Eorzea of this menace.

To kill a mongrel, you must think like a mongrel. Or stab the in the face fifty-seven times.

Their drain move can be obnoxious at times but I've never had a problem with them. They are a fun, challenging fight.

Strategy for mongrels

Regiment: Weapon skill (300dmg) => Weapon skill (700dmg) => Nuke (1600dmg)

Solo wise yea they such and there is nothing that can be done about it.

you have the funniest signature I've ever seen.

I love them for the SP goodness, but yeah, Twisting Vice and Moonrise sort them right out.

That's a good strat. I'm going to try that. I usually just DOT them up as conjurer and then Nature's Fury them to death in between Profundity and Blood Rites.

Mongrels are not over powered if you do BRs on them. Personally, I'd like to see more mobs like this because they require strategy.

people can only say they hate them because they see them every leve reset ;p

It'd be easier and most likely more fun if you didn't solo everything

Hit them until they die. I think mongrels should get a "well fed" buff when they use the drain tp move so they can't spam it.

normal attack + normal attack Battle regimen to cause a defense debuff
then stack weaponskills and a big spell at the end of a battle regimen
Also have mages use DOT's
Have the tank use diversion when the mongrel charges up it's Sanguine Bite
