Talizker?s playtimes means day attempts are unlikely, and the run from start to finish is likely to take at least 2-3 hours (not including prep time) as there is a massive pause inbetween runs (due to the long journey to get back to Balgais Dais from West Sarutabaruta. This means we have to be doing this around 9pm start to avoid going into stupidly early times. This Sunday is unfortunately out of the question for me as I cannot be on late.
Perhaps the best option is to spread the runs over 2 evenings. 3 on one evening next week, then 3 the next?
Strategy for the battle for those not done it before:
7 monsters in the battlefield.
1 Dvorovoi ? a black mandragora. Has the usual Mandragora TP attacks along with Blindga, Paralyzega and Flood
7 Domovoi ? standard white type mandragora. Limited to standard Mandragora TP attacks.
All members will enter, buff, and gather at the top of the ramp at the edge of the main arena. When ready the BRD will commence the battle by casting Foe Lullaby on the Dvorovoi, sleeping it. This will cause the 7 Domovoi will then aggro the BRD and he will gather them on the ramp and sleep them with Horde Lullaby.
The RDM will stay with the BRD and is responsible for curing the BRD as he keeps the horde of mobs slept.
The 4 remaining jobs (in our case NIN, RNG, WHM and THF) will enter the main arena and engage the Dvorovoi. The WHM must stay on the edge of casting range at all times as the Mandragora can use AOE sleep which could be fatal. Flood will not be a massive concern as Utsusemi will absorb the damage. Blindga and paralyzega will remove all shadows and inflict the status effect. It is most important that Paralyna is used immediately on the NIN.
After killing the Dvorovoi, the tank will then choose a Domovoi to kill next, get hate and wake it and pull it back to the centre of the arena to kill. This is then repeated until all mobs are dead. Usually a Provoke is enough to get hate on the first 3 or 4 pulls but as the BRD has used multiple Horde Lullaby, his hate will be higher. However a combination of Provoke and a weapon skill is usually enough.
Never done with a THF before. A potential option is for when first engaging the Dvorovoi when it is slept, the NIN will stand behind it when slept then the THF use SATA. Similarly, SATA onto NIN could be used when pulling each Domovoi. However this would have to be done incredibly quickly.
In terms of food, nothing beyond standard EXP food for lvl40 is required. So I presume Pies/drinks for ages and meat/sushi for DD.
