Galka AA Bugged? 2 Hour Spam?

[Vinen]

I know this is mission related but people seem to rarely check that forum and I just want a response on this. Anyone tried the Galka AA recently and had Issues? We just fought him and had him use Sam 2 hour 3x Times in 30 seconds and Dragoon 2 hour 2x times that same period. Anyone else had that crap happen to them?

Don't kill the dragon pet. Just put it to sleep.
To avoid his self-renkei, think of what happens to a thief when the tank doesn't stand still.

Not its more the issue of somehow he had 2 Dragon Pets out at the same time as well as right after he came out of Sam 2 hour he started another...

We lasted thru 3 Sam 2 hours (9 WS in like 30 seconds). We had him at about 30% with the use of 2 hours. Because we said F it cause we didnt have time for another shot that night.

Nobody ever said the game was fair. :)

Steelfleece spams Mighty strikes. HNMs just have the ability to use their 2hours unlimited. Well at least the damage dealing ones.

[Vinen]

Ive killed Steelfleech many times. Never seen him spam Mighty Strikes.

"2-hours" to us may not be "2-hour" to the monster. ;)

i seen the giant sheep spam mighty strikes, its annoying.

Just look at it this way... they might have more energy/strength/better physical condition to do the 2-hour special multiple times. i mean... this thing is a freggin AA.

Really? I watched him use it 3 times in a row on this pt of tarus that were wailing on him.

Mee Deggi the Punisher can just use Hundert Fist once.

There's a giant just outside the room where you need to kill the NM for the tower mission. Can't remember his name correctly... Is it Mimas? Bah...
What matters here is that I've seen him spam hundred fists on my drk friend... over and over and over...
Just one after the other.
So NM's, not only HNM's have the abillity to spam 2 hour.
:)

[Kastel]

well Mee Deggi is NM, they are talking more along lines of HNM

[Voyager]

NM battles are scripted, and completely without the bounds of TP or skill time limits that us human players are stuck with.

Over in the Paladin Forum, they have a log from a Maat fight, where he spams five Asuran's fists in the space of about ten seconds.

If an NM decides that it's goign to self-renki for the next two hours, straight, it will.

Anyone who has actually done this fight? Just wondering if this is what we have to expect from it, because im sure we can kill it, it will just be a royal pain in the ass.

[Berticus]

go with a rdm and use marathon

edit: o crap, you are a rdm.. well use gravity ã?‹ã?Šã‚‚ã?˜

[Vinen]

lol yeah thats how we plan on beating him when we try again. Have 71 PLD 71SAM 71RNG 71WHM 72RDM 72BLM. so I think it will work.

Its not bugged its what square did to make it more challangeing ^^... try the Elvaan.. Spams invincable and whm 2 hour ^^

[hatey]

Marathoning is like in EQ where you use gravity and hopefully run speed boost song and just stay away from mob and kill it with nukes, DoT's, etc? Or what?

[Berticus]

always cast gravity on the NM, have the pld or nin keep hate, and the frontline dmg hits it, blms nuke it etc while it chases the pld.. with marathon it's a lot harder for the pld to get hit by AA GK's WSes, and much harder to get renkei'ed. if the gravity patch starts kicking in and it stops working as well, he can get WSes off on the guy with hate but still no renkei

and GK has a ton of hp so it could end up that way

[Vinen]

The Galka seems to have low def for some reason. Was really strange after our Paladins Invinicble went (we thought he would only 2 hour once so we had her use it then) and he started another use of 2hour we had our Samurai and Ranger use there 2 hours, this dropped him to less then 30% life, which was strange. His def must be ungodly low.

And Thank you for the information Berticus.

This fight kinda reminds me of how my group tried the Pilgrim at level 67 with just us 6. We pretty sure we could have beat that but we waited untill around 70 and got the help from 2 other people.
