Started off my day by exping bard a little bit. I dont take the job seriously at all and just grinding the job to 66 so im done with it forever. Trying to get Maats cap and its turning out to be no easy task. The easier jobs to level seem to give me a rough time. Melee is where my heart is in this game and it always will be. Nothing like whacking huge shit with a stick until its dead. Anyway, got bard to lv 62 today heres a screenshot of me mid exp party!
After Exping bard i pretty much didnt do jack shit until we went up to sea to do a few Jailer of Faith pops. I went up an hour or so early to try and get a few extra pops. Turns out i can solo anything that is not an NM in sea on my paladin. Ill post screenshots of my paladin gear, macro sets and what I do when tanking shit in my next entry.
I decided to try to fight Jailer of Faith straight tanking style today. Turned out pretty well to say the least. Only died once and that was on the last pop, got caught by a Quake II with both my my utsusemi timers down. It was generally pretty easy to do... All you have to watch out for is Slowga as far as tanking is concerned. If the White mages dont get an erase and haste off on you fast enough your Utsusemi timers get pretty fucked eventually. The easiest time to straight tank Jailer of Faith is definitely while it is manafonting. This is because it uses big magic like Stone IV or Quake II that generally take a long time for him to cast. Our tank party setup consisted of 1 whitemage, 2 bards, 1 redmage and 2 tanks. Unfortunately it ended up with me solo tanking each one of them for some reason. Overall the fight really isnt that hard to straight tank, im not too sure why we kited it for all this time. Fights took about 10 minutes each and we did about 5 of them over the course of 2 hours. 15 minute repops + running to the new location is suck.
We went 1/5 tonight on Faith torque. Congratulations to Professional on tonights drop, hopefully we see some more soon!
After sea we tried to go to nyzul Isle but King Vinegarroon decided to pop and delay our plans. We were tipped off that it was up unclaimed, sent someone out to go check... and what do ya know! its up! Soooo I rushed out there on drk/nin to kite it until we were ready to zerg it. I personally think i did an amazing Kiting job considering the circumstances in the beginning.
when I got out there I claimed right away because i was afraid it would depop soon. little did I know it would take 5 minutes for some form of gravity to show up. I had to use stun to slow it down and get shadows up quickly, it was incredibly fun to say the least. Zerged him down when we were ready in about 20 seconds. Very smooth fight.
After King Vinegarroon I went straight to Nyzul Isle for some fun. We went 1/4 on floor 80 drops tonight. Congratulations to Malphas on Goliard Body. This seems to be pretty stingy as far as drop rates go. I wish it would pick up a little bit haha, we are yet to see any Askar :|
Overall, pretty busy night. Tomorrow is another day, Dynamis and shit to worry about yayz. Thats all i got for tonight, good night guys and i hope you look forward to my next entry where i will talk about my paladin from head to toe!
