Ok guys good try tonight ACP fight didn’t go as expected. A bit of bad luck with a charm.
ACP 11 will be rescheduled and we need the following jobs with certain abilities:
Pld/war straight tanking the crystal
2x Ranger/sam Sam as sub is best for meditate faster weapon skills. Alternative is /nin (we can sub a ranger for a smn)
Whm for healing
Rdm/drk for steady stuns/backup healer/sleeper in emergencies
And any job that can pull the clones away with either a ranged attack or magic.
DD/ranger works well (but must have sidewinder for better damage)
This fight has aggravated many and many who have beaten it swear they won’t touch it again
Basic strategy is to have the PLD go in throwing a voke and flash off to the top to grab hate.
DD can either 2 hr it at this point or hold back later on in the fight.
Everyone but the PLD camp at Northwest corner to the farthest point of AOE.
Rangers start firing off rounds and sidewinders at a slow and steady pace to avoid stealing hate from PLD.
Rdm/drks Cast stuns in a slow and steady pace to avoid stealing hate from PLD
Backup heal and sleep any clone pops that may get out of control. Refresh whm and or PLD if needed.
DD/rangers or any other on clone duty. Pull either with ranged attack/voke or magic and proceed to kill off the clones.
If pld gets charmed quickly throw a sleep so things don’t get too crazy with clone pops.
That’s the basic strategy on winning this thing.
Now what allot of people do on this fight is try to play too many roles.
It is very important that everyone have 1 main role. And in some situations a smaller backup role.
Here is what I mean
White mage: Role of the whm is to keep PLD alive and to keep others from going in the red.
Rangers: Role of the rangers is to keep a slow and steady damage over time on the crystal.
Paladin: Role of the PLD is to keep hate on the crystal with any means possible.
A good idea is to have a macro that says Voke in 10 seconds that way Rangers or any Blm's can throw an attack/nuke and not worry about grabbing hate.
Rdm/drks: Role is to stun any ga spells, refresh whm and pld(if needed) and backup heal. Sleep if someone gets charmed.
Any other job that does not heal/stun/tank or is a ranger is going to be on clone duty
People on clone duty like I said before must be able to pull the clone and attack it quickly.
These are the basics to winning this fight I know it’s frustrating at times but everyone MUST be focused and do their job and not anyone else’s
