Hamlet defense: who got curbstomped?

[Richard_BG]

Gath's 1gil says that community will never do Hamlet defense (after 1.22) even though everyone has been QQing for harder content.

Once the community realizes that some Hamlet gear is BiS they will do it :3

It's a bit sad that you can't run with a bit more of a varied party setup, but it's still too early to say that it's unfriendly to odd-ball setups.

But it does seem War stacking is pretty prevalent in most win groups. I want to see a group go in with 4 DoM/DoW and 2 crafters/gatherers take it down or something.

Posted in the other thread for this, we did 1 DoL, 1 DoH, 2 WHM, 3 BLM, 1 WAR and it worked out pretty well. Hopefully we can fine tune it to where we don't lose any NPCs this time.

I'm wondering if the level of your hamlet has any effect on its difficulty.

I noticed in the achievements there is one for lvl 5 hamlet and all battle classes.

I think its more for the anima you get when you win.

[SirOleas]

The difficulty is decided by the rating created during the supply phase.
Grade 2 is the highest currently.

It's not hard to beat honestly. Fun though.

For those with DoL, are you finding attack down or HP down more helpful?

It might be that Ridill's is still level one, but we did it twice tonight both easy wins with pick up groups.

first run:
1x pld
1x war
2x mnk
1x whm
1x brd
1x DoL
1x DoH

2nd:

2x PLD
2x war
1x whm
1x DoL
1x DoH
1x BRD

Both were about the same difficulty wise, which is to say it wasn't extremely challenging. But at least it wasn't absolutely retarded like every single dalamud event (terrible.... terrible content).

garuda is hard ... hamlet is a joke compared... did it 3 times and won 3 times

Hamlet on Gungnir was at level 2 last night when we tried it and all the groups around us were getting slaughtered. Higher supply level does mean higher difficulty. I suspect most of the people getting easy wins only had theirs at level 1.
