First PW fight

So this week is not just AV......
My first PW fight!




This NM is, IMO, currently the hardest NM in this game(since no other NM has such annoying adds), I personally haven't encounter any other NM as BS as this one I'd have to say. Not even AV, which can be dealt with SMN 2hr perfect defense. Unless someone can come up with an easier strat to deal with those adds, it's quite possibly currently the most challenging NM in this game.

For those who never encounter PW, let me explain a bit about how bad it is XD

PW has 10 different forms, each represents one ToAU area NM. And everytime when he changes form, he'll pop 8 adds, and some of those adds are ass strong(although jobs like NIN or DNC should be able to solo them), often wonder around the map and kill any player they encounter, personally I don't think any job besides very well geared PLD can survive the attack of 8 adds and main NM and won't die in 5 sec. This NM shares alliance hate, so it requires very good pt organization.

On it's final form, it's adds will cast T4 and various -ga spells to anyone that gets close, and use 9 avatar 2hr at once when HP reached certain point and blow up any player that comes close




Seeing THAT many avatar 2hr being used at once is probably one of my scarest experience in FFXI ;|

Further more, those adds won't depop after avatar 2hr used.

Also, PW pop area has many mobs that aggro and keep repopping after it's killed, although those mobs are no where near as strong as PW adds, it can still be a bit dangerous.

This fight probably requires jobs like proper tank pt, like PLD BRD COR, with DDs like SMN or RNG, and also need jobs like NIN or DNC to handle adds.

Also there's time limit, so if you don't kill it fast enough it's gonna depop.

In the end the pt run out of time, there were just way too many deaths and that makes the fight last longer than it should be.

Still, quite an invalueable experience. Seeing 9 Astral flow being used at once just epic.
