I was runngin through Mamook with my whole party(getting 6th member OP to Mamool Ja SP) when out RDM accidentally Dia'd this thinking is was just another bird in the area. Suffice to say, this thing is a pain in the *****
Party Set-up:
WHM/SMN
RDM/BLM
BRD/NIN
PLD/WAR
WAR/NIN
DRK/THF
Quite possibly one of the most fun fights I've had in a long time. Not because of the damage I put down, but because of the awkward hate control.
The PLD I partied with was damn good, I give him major props for this NM. But... everytime it used Sound Vacuum, that NM was turnign in 1 of 2 directions, me or the WAR/NIN. I must've dropped to 300 or less HP a few times before the PLD would "cure bomb" me and grab hate again. It also has a TP move that does SERIOUS damage, as in the WAR/NIN ate one and it one-shotted him clean, from full HP, as a Galka. Thank goodness it's only AoE that would get us was Sound Vacuum. We did get both the Fencing bracers and the GK. Took forever to kill it though. This NM has pretty solid evasion. I was on Sushi with A+ weapon and 60 additional Accurracy on, and still probably missed 2/5 swings. The key to victory on this NM:
1) Skillchains, big ones.
2) Solid Hate control
3) WHM healer, otherwise the tank is screwed with Petrify
