    Yakkity Manuever

    The following has been coined....The Yakkity Manuever.

    The first boss of Cutter's Cry (Princess) can be a bit of pain. But as a White Mage over level 35 you have the ability to trivialize the fight.
    All it takes is for you to be utterly insane.

    Start the fight normally, When the princess gets ready to summon her adds, drop regens on everyone in the party whether they are damaged or not.

    "But wait! that's the LAST thing you should do, you'll get instant agro from all the mobs spawning!"

    And that's the point!

    The Tank at this point is going to pull the marshall and the dps are going to kill it and then all of them move back to the boss. This leaves you with about a dozen angry ants ready to eat your face. So do the smart thing.

    Run like you stole something.

    Keep casting regen on the tank (and the DPS if you can spare the mana). Do not stop running. Run around the inner circle of the boss room but as far from the tank and DPS as you can. The mobs will keep chasing you and any additional adds will join in.

    Bonus points are awarded if you can play the Chase music from the Benny Hill show.

    Completely possible, but every group I've ever run into act like they've never heard of this.

    Maybe they're just being polite? "D'awwww, that's adorable, the kitty thinks he came up with an all new idea!"

    I did this today...totally by accident! Ha! (only my second time in CC) It worked really well.....I mean I did have to run like I stole a LOT of things, from a very angry man....but it worked. Ejected a Medica when the next wave of adds came.....it was awesome.....just wish I had the Benny Hill music.....
    I am happy it has a name....The Yakkity Yak Manuever. Nice.
