LOL, no BS. I did research a bit before we did it, including reading Necropolis's description of the fight in this very thread (thx Necropolis ). Some of my party members (was a pickup party) had tried it a few times, so they had a few ideas too. The two most important things to have are a stunner and a good balance of melee and mage, just like a good old fashioned exp party, not a meripo.
0/5 now on path of darkness. >< went last night with pld war drk blu blm(me) whm. All of us were pretty skilled players, pld even had ares body. We got owned.
The Ranged ring has assult Sharp shot enhanced. So pretty much COR/RNG (Yes, Please) item's ion this update, allong with steel bullets, cor bullets ect. SE wan't us to be trigger happy, just wish they would up our natural skills a little -.-
Yes now that we've had the +1 STR = +1 ATK etc update for 2-handers, maybe we might see a +1 AGI = +1 RACC for those of us who use Ranged Attacks as our main form of offence.^^
Am about to do this fight tonight and I'm not confident. I like a fight that requires a good strategy, but having to co-ordinate everything with pickup parties can be a nightmare.
Anyone tried fighting Alexander with Light Carol?

This is where my idea for Gallant's roll comes in, if these attacks are all physical then there's a chance to reflect it. Giving the PLD and DD Gallants and the DD Chaos there may be a crap load of constant reflected damage, I'm trying to find someones who has made logs of this fight (the final bit) to do some rough numbers for the dmg a pld could take, average roll numbers of lucky and 7-11.
Once I got that, if tis res[ppectable compared to a DD's damage, might be able to justify doing this fight as COR, PLD rest mages.
Sorry I cant be more help but I was 1/1 on this last night. We had PLD WAR MNK BLM BRD RDM(me). The BLU was the hardest and that's only because we lost the tank on his second form. He WS then the second guy did a holy 3 or something and knocked him out. Then me and the BLM nuked down his second form.
The final guy was cake. Had the PLD stand out of melee range and main heal him self for hate while the MNK and WAR beet on his ass. He did the OMEGA move 2 times durning the fight and both melees came through it with over 300 HP (both were galka). PLD ended up dieing again half way through him so the melees tanked. Perfect Defence was poped at 1% as soon as it came off we wone.
This fight was the hardest fight of ToAU, but after being through Zilart and CoP it still felt like a cake walk.
No Ifs Ands or Buts about it.
Rest of my sig
All San d'Oria, Zilart, CoP, ToAU Missions finished.
