I'm Charging Ma Lazor !


What an exciting day, today was my Limbus LS's first Proto-Omega and we were (or maybe its only me, I don't know) scared yet excited at the fight. I spent alot of time the pass week reading up everything I needed to know about the fight since this is my first time planning a Proto-Omega.

I had planned all the apollyon battle strategies for all four zones and we managed to farm all four zones with seven to eight members with little difficuties, although it was abit rought at first when we were getting used to it.

The tougher one was NW Apollyon where the top three floors had boss like adamantotise , fafnir and a king behemoth at the top that cast meteors. We did pretty well on all floors skipping fafnir and made the win with 5mins to spare.

And then it came to the big one, Proto-Omega. We had both tanks, a Pld/Nin and Nin/Drk ping-pong Omega between them while the Blm did light nukes. I was one of the blm supposed to nuke gunpods when they appear.

Everything went smoothly except for the last pod when it switched into its final form. Both of us were casting but it ran out of range from the other Blm and well, the Pod raped me, litterally. You could say I was iPod-ed. Hehe.

By then we were already chainspell stunning Omega and I only managed to reraise and fire off a Burst II before it was dead. Dropped Omega's hind legs and Omega's tail.

I had won the bid and got the (Homan) legs, while the feet was free bidded by the other members.

Nothing like the smell of lazor (as if it has a smell) in the morning. Hehe.

Please Be Gentle, It's My First Time

First time always hurt doesn't it? Well, not this time.

We found Cerberus up, and as we were gathering (including job chaning), another LS had claimed, but they were low on members. They were doing alright untill I looked away for a moment, looked back and their paladin was down. Cerberus proceeded to rampage the rest of them.

We claimed shortly after the other LS wiped, and we managed to hold it till the rest of the members changed to their respective job and came back up. I was kind of scared being my first time on paladin taking Cerberus, although I have tanked him as Nin/Drk before.

After a while, we got a Drk/Nin to co-tank and I was asked to get Rdm/Drk. The time it took for me to run back to town change and run back, they had gotten it from 80% down to like 25% (Gate of Hades mode). I barely made it back in time to be in the second stun cycle and good thing I did he was in a GoH spammy mood today.

Cerberus went down pretty fast after that and Algol dropped.

As for the screenshot, I couln't get a better shot when you are tanking something this big.

Did You Get The Number Of That Horse

That's what most people will say when they get killed by Dark Ixion, well, it's either that or "MAN DOWN !".

Ixion is one of the HNM I like very much, only cause it is the few times I get to come as Ranger.

I'm starting to move towards Rng/Sam for long fights over Rng/War cause SAM sub-job gives me a 5-hit built letting me WS more, which is bad sometimes cause I end up pulling hate alot and I always keep forgetting to use my seigan/third eye macro before Ixion plows me down.

Spamming sidewinder is so much fun, 750 dmg a piece (if it doesnt miss), with arching arrow hitting on average at 600 dmg. Although this isnt the best dmg I've done on Ixion, the best being a 1,600 dmg sidewinder with WAR sub, I do seem to be putting out more WS over time so I guess the dmg adds up.

There are still some stuff I'm missing on my ranger, namely Vali Bow (I hate you Eastern Shadow) and my {dream} {gun}, the Annihilator. Something that I am slowly working my way towards, for those of you who know me, yes I know its been three years but I'm still trying, its just that money isnt as easy to get as it was three years ago before the great RMT slump.

Ah well, another Ixion down, doesn't look like anything else to do, I think I'm going to skillup my shield.

Om Nom Nom Nom

That's the sound Sandworm makes when it sucks you in, well, at least I think it does.

{Time for Work}

We got Lambton Worm inside and other than a few unfortunate death (including mine) we took it down rather well.

We were low on members so our black mages had to nuke and nuke and nuke. Well Lambton worm didn't like it and ate me up (litterally). Blm exp buffer going down.......

The same can't be said for the drops though.....

A pair of Oily Trousers,
Guivre's Skull,
Damascene Cloth
and a Venomous Claw.

I was hoping for an Ancient Torque though but at least we got the kill.

A Marid And Some Pamamas

What has a bunch of pamama got to do with a marid?

Apperently a certian ZNM marid likes it, so I decided to go have a look. And so Iriz Ima was found.

Was a rather long fight around 1hr 15mins, since I don't have top end gears for my Corsair's quickdraw setup, but I was averaging 330 dmg Ice Shots. Just kept running around the tower at the secret enterance to whitegate.

Rather smooth fight start to end, only resisted heavily at 1% making my Ice Shots do 36 dmg. Considerding it was my first time, I think I did ok.

Now I can pop Dea, though I think I need abit more work on my Corsair before I decide to solo Dea.
