Party 2: GH (THF), Liquidblue (WAR)
Enter Time: Mon 1/4/2010 ~10:50PM EST
Goal: Boss Run
Game plan: same as before with a few minor tweaks here and there
Result: really lucky on cell drops; Boss killed with about 6 minutes to spare; Ares 25 Head went to Erm; Morrigan 25 Body went to GH; Usu 15 Hands went to Khrone
New Title: Comet Charioteer
Notes:
- I had Arhat's Gi +1, Arhat's Jinpachi, Patronus Ring which all helped with dmg control.
- I focused a lot more on keeping shadows up, which made the healer's job a lot easier.
- Killing all 10 gears helped a ton.
- Having that extra DD (and us focusing a lot more on skill chains) helped a lot with killing gears and other mobs quicker.
In other news: Did 4 more Golden Salvage runs with LB and Cole. I'm starting to feel more comfortable using my SMN now, but still need to get it leveled past 62 so i can finally start wearing my AFv2. lol

Goal: Boss Run
1st Floor:
West path. Kill Bifrons and move to the next room... after getting to the central room and clearing it, send someone to the porter while everyone else backtracks to kill more mobs for necessary cell drops. Cell drops were pretty much in our favor tonight throughout the entire run.
2nd Floor:
Killed all 4 flans quickly, not caring whether spikes were up or not. Took the NW path. Again, killed almost everything.
3rd Floor:
Rings/Earrings and Ranged cells weren't dropping for us tonight, but all other equipment cells were, so we were happy. Lots of STR and VIT. A few INT and MND. Not much else stat-wise.
4th Floor:
Got up here 55 minutes into the run. (5 minutes faster than last time.)
Killing gears went a lot smoother tonight too, probably because we had more equipment unlocked, but also because we made sure we DoT-ed all gears ASAP and tried to make sure we SCed as much as possible too. Aggroed 1 gear, but killed all of the other 9. So, the boss's Homing Missile was still going to reset hate, but we tried to be prepared for that.
5th Floor:
Had about 20 or 25 minutes left in the run by the time we ported up.
Made sure to pop HP and MP boost items before coming up to the 5th floor. Entered the boss room. {Boost}ed. Buffed. {Chi Blast}ed and the fight was on. This time the MNKs did a much better job at keeping shadows up. Around 60% the BRD 2houred. (Ofe said he was getting 12 MP per tick at one point. awesomeness.) Around 45% (?) the main MNK 2houred, reset timers, then 2houred again. Around 30% the 2nd MNK (me) 2houred. Ran into a bit of badluck though by this point. The boss fired-off a Homing Missile RIGHT before the SAM got in a crit hit, so it kind of locked in hate onto him for a bit and started following him around the room. I lost a lot of my 2hour just trying to chase the thing down. By the time my 2hour wore, I was pretty much dead and and a minute or two later we had run out of time. He only got off 2 (maybe 3?) Homing Missiles.
Final Notes / Lessons Learned:
Readjusting when everyone 2hours worked out really well. Next time we might want to hold off on 2houring a little bit more, but all-in-all we think we did a lot better than previous boss fights.
Next week we will not have Salvage, due to the holidays. Will start up again on January 4th.
We'll try to focus on getting some Assaults done instead this coming Mon and Tues night.
Hopefully it'll only be a few more Campaign battles until I can rank up. After I rank up this time, I can go purchase a Patronus Ring. (Physical Dmg Taken -2% might help out a bit on this boss fight.)

Listen buddy you're not going anywhere

Enter Time: Mon 12/21/2009 ~11:15PM EST
Goal: Boss Run
1st Floor:
Took our time and prety much cleared out the entire West path (as well as the central areas). We went through and killed all Bifrons (bombs) first, then cleared the final/central room, then backtracked killing more mobs until we got cells that we wanted/needed.
2nd Floor:
Killed all 4 flans quickly, not caring whether spikes were up or not. Pretty sure we ended up taking the NW path (may have been SW though). Again, killed almost everything.
3rd Floor:
Hell, I can't rememeber. Killed lots. Still didn't get the gear drops we were hoping for. (ie. hardly any Feet/Legs dropped for us, but we got tons of Rings/Earrings and Ranged...)
4th Floor:
Gears. Simply put, we F-ed up. We just weren't taking them down quickly enough. 1st one warped out. 2nd one warped out. 3rd we killed. 4th warped out and we just said "screw it" and went on to the boss.
5th Floor:
Everything seemed to go well for a while. MNKs were taking their time, focusing on just keeping shadows up, but as usual, the damn thing kept wiping my shadows with AoE moves AS SOON as I would get them up. Add to the fact that my legs were still locked (therefore no Haidate and therefore less Haste) my timers kinda sucked ass. Boss was hitting us for 400s - 500s. I died at one point, but RRed and got back in there. When Cole went down, the boss started firing off homing missiles and we just declared it a loss.
Final Note:
Things for us MNKs to remember for future runs: we should get as much DMG- gear as possible. (see full list at home, but it was basically Arhat's Body (+1), maybe Head (+1) too... Patronous Ring, Jelly Ring, nyzul feet??...) Might even want to eat a Tav Taco for this boss.
Also want to make sure the RDM had Phalanx II cast on us to reduce the amount of dmg as much as possible.
