BLM Miser Burn Strategy

[Kaeko]

As for adds, we've observed that trying to kill Mistress in under 2 minutes always leads to the giltrap/hearty victual spawn configuration. If we slow down our DPS (on one run while I was on MNK, I purposely left Fists of Fire off), we get tenders/giltraps. Have you noticed any kind of correlation between Mistress's HP at the time of adds spawning to the configurations in which the adds spawn?

From studying video, I believe the Hearty Victuals will spawn with traps (as opposed to traps only) if Miser's HP is below roughly 40% when the traps are set to spawn. I haven't seen a video from you guys, but if this were true, it would imply that you guys get Miser to ~40% or better within the first 60 seconds since the traps spawn 1 minute after engaging Miser. If you slow damage down to only get it to say ~50% HP after 60 seconds, you'll get the normal non-Hearty Victual configuration.

Hearty's do seem to replace 2 of the Giltraps once her HP drops to below 40-50% (not sure on exact percentage) but from initial aggro, I've never seen Giltraps spawn 60 secs in. Always been 80-90~ secs for us with another 30~ secs before Miser decides to move. Then the time cycle begins again when she moves out of the pool.

Ah I looked back at video and you're right, the the giltraps actually spawn 75 seconds in (from initial aggro or from getting out of the pool) and Miser moves at 120 seconds. So if you're doing enough damage to get to 40% at 75 seconds into the fight Hearty Victuals can spawn.
