Hunt Mob Entitlement?

[GalkaBikini]

The party that strikes the mob first is usually the one who gets the most out of it.

I dunno who told you it works like this but they were wrong. Completely wrong.

As a rule of thumb? About 3 minutes.

Tried that too, still sketchy if you get credit or not, especially if there's a LS group gunning in on it.

No one told that to me. I've experienced it that way.

Try it yourself.

Like I said before. Tag it as soon as your group is ready and unload on it.

lol... I don't think you understand how hunt contribution reward works. It not much different from FATEs.

It not much different from FATEs.

You're right, its not different than fates. As a Paladin you can flash spam everything in a fate, as a Black Mage you can scathe everything in a fate. And then let everyone else kill it and get full credit.

Aka, the first group that pulls gets full credit... Guaranteed. Everyone else have to compete with each other. If 'everyone else' hits the mob once for a few damage and there is enough people there that that 'few damage' each is enough to add up to kill the mob (as it was in my experience above) then credit goes a little 'wonky'. As in many people won't get credit and many will get little credit. But the first group that pulled the mob, will get full credit, regardless of the damage they did.

Hence.... you see the mob, get your group there and pull it as soon as possible. That's how it was designed. If its not how it was intended (design can be different from intent). Then they'll change it. But until then, grab it and kill it before it goes up to lady luck to decide who gets credit.

I don't have any problems getting full credit when my group doesn't pull first. What's your excuse?

And that's why healers are the best class to bring. Toss out a tiny attack and then spam Medica. If your party isn't afk, you'll get full credit.

I have. I'm almost never in the claiming group, and I almost always get full credit. If I get reduced credit, it's usually because not all of my group made it in time. If I get no credit, it's because I didn't attack the mob. Failing one of those two scenarios, I don't think I've ever *not* gotten full credit.

In short, you're wrong.
