PRAY THEM TO DEATH!!!

[Punainen]

When are you getting these buffs, and are you visiting the stones first? We're still trying to figure it out here on excaibur

I've noticed them when attempting to pray down enemies. I have no idea if its because I visited the stones or not. Its very hard for a single person to test (Sargatanas has cooperation issues) the ins and outs of what exactly it takes to pray down an enemy or if there's any way to effect the frequency of it happening.

We haven't even gotten buffs to work yet so we've got no confirmation on it even working.

It's making it harder to get people to work together without any evidence of even the buffs. Can we get screenshots of those at least?

[Neasa]

It's clearly working. We're taking down anything as long as enough people pray at the same time. Sometimes it's not an instant kill... Like it's a set amount of health. Magitek took a good four goes (1/4th HP going each time), while the golem needed two. The imperials usually only needed one.
But for proof, I'll -try- to capture it on Fraps.

Leveled mobs have also gone boom with prayer, so its not restricted to ??. Wonder if you can only blow up a certain amount at a time?

I'd appreciate it. Even if it's choppy and laggy, confirmation will help other servers get their acts together to get it working.

Also, other details are appreciated, are you in party, are you using countdown, are all rings represented, etc.

Agreed I've been trying to /pray and do countdown but only a handful of ppl are doing it.
We need more proof so everyone else will join in as well.
And yes every detail helps

Heh. -.-;; Currently no mobs in Ul'dah on Hyperion... Had an Atomos spawn, but our coordinator left and I think Atomos left on its own.

One person was coordinating with a shout and the game timer, and telling everyone to wear their rings. I wasn't in a party, but enemies I've had claim on still dropped items after they insta-died. I couldn't begin to tell if all rings were represented, as there's a ton of people and a sea of /pray spam which makes me not want to try and check everyone. I doubt all would be represented though. >.>;

Personally, I've done two full pilgrimages since this event started, and I was wearing my ring during and since the discovery of praying down mobs.
Sadly, I did not make any records of the buffs I recieved, now do I know if I was prayed FOR or if I got them through praying without targeting or via targeting a mob (It was extremely hectic and laggy at the time, but it is 100% that I did NOT get them from a player).

There may be a limit which regens similar to anima, as ever since our mass-bixie-kill, we seem to only be able to take down two mobs before prayers stop working for quite a while.
I can not confirm this, it is merely a theory. But the fact that prayer DOES kill at least SOME mobs, is certain.

This is starting to look too much as real praying. Nobody is sure if it does anything, or if what happens happen because of it, but we are trying anyway because it can't hurt and really want for it to work...

[Neasa]

The only people who doubt it does anything are those who aren't doing it correctly. It'll catch on, I guess.
Random spam does not seem to work. Use game-time, or a timer to coordinate the time/mob. It does take a decent number of people... Don't expect it to work (Or at least, not very quickly) if you only have two or three.
