FYI: Catlove/mail down | ToAU 44

[thistlechaser]

Stupid, stupid Catlove's hosting is down. Again. This has become a monthly thing. It's been down two days now, no response from my hosting company even though I emailed them twice. As soon as my time with them expires, I'll have to find someplace new.

So anyway, I haven't seen any LJ comments in two days. I'm not ignoring folks on purpose, sorry. :/

I also have peachy keen screenshots, once I can upload stuff again.

In FFXI land, bah. More than 24 hours later I'm still kicking myself and going over every element of that darned fight. If my 2 hour had done something good (instead of giving the melees back MP), we would have won. If if if if if if if...

Darned Corsairs, being double weakened = no DD abilities at all. I was weakened x4 or x5 at the very end and I still tried Ice Shots when he was at 2%. Shooting was worthless, I tried meleeing (with my fire staff, ha), and of course did nothing.

If if if if if...

It was a fun fight, and I am looking forward to doing it again (oddly), but I'm still kicking myself. If only...

I may be going as DRK the next time, which will be roughly a katrabillion times easier than any other of my 75 jobs. Two-person stun rotation? I could do that in my sleep! But anyway, I need three merits before Thursday, so I can buy Dark Seal. Got one today.

2%. If we hadn't have gotten so close, I don't think this would be gnawing at me like it is. If only I had done this, if only I had done that. Did rolls fall off the melees at some point? Maybe the reduction in damage made the difference. Should I have shot more instead of trying to keep two rolls on melees, two different rolls on tank, one roll on mage? If if if if if if...

That said, continuously stunning Gospel of the Lost gave us a huge edge and enabled us to take his health down faster. Had we just let him use it and tried to stun Void instead, we never would have gotten him down as far as we did. I don't even know for sure if Void CAN be stunned. But if it can, and if we have people who can trade stun duties and try to catch both, we should be golden.

Having a RDM to back up the WHM is always a plus and helps with the healing bit. Sleepnuking the Blu for one round also makes things smoother.

With both Mal and I on DRK, maybe one of us can stun one, the other do the other? (I find it easier to watch for one thing to watch for, especially if it needs super-fast stunning like Void.

Would that be faster than us shooting him? I've neevr tried it that way.

It might be. I've seen it done as one round of sleepnuke, one round of range, and the last round as all out whatever. Sleepnuking seems to have been the quickest, most effective from my experience.

Well, we can see! If we can somehow time it right, Mal and I can help nuke.
