Absolute Virtue

2 completely unbased theories I feel like tossing out there:

1.) Has anyone attempted using all 7 of the "7 Sins" weapons against him? Gluttony Sword, Lust dagger etc?

2.) Has anyone ever attempted to Ninja Zerg him with like, a thousand ninja's just mass Mijin Gakure'ing him? For no other reason then a pile o' dead ninjas, plus it's just crazy enough to work. And if nothing else, we've killed a bunch of ninjas, which is always a good thing.
 
1) Yes, several times, doesn't work
2) Not that I've heard of, but I don't think any shell conglomerate has enough NIN75's to actually do it (and he'd probably just bene it all back anyway...)

Geez, don't let the secret out. Thats exactly what I was going to do, and I'd have completely owned AV without them knowing and run off with their AV loot.

You forgot to mention stumbling sandals if you want full drops.

Well, if it helps. Signet changes have made Aern on the Sealion's Den side completely gankable. I've gone a gauntlet of 3 without needing to rest, solo. A reraiser and a very, very late link.

Any decently equipped melee should be able to tear through two on their own before needing a break. Assuming you don't get Medusa Javelin, Glacier Splitter, or Wing Thrust/Auroral Wind. Excellently equipped, higher tier damage dealers can obviously do more. Seeing as how my mediocre ass did three.

Some jobs might have problems with BSTs though. Xzomit pets wear down shadows fast.

So... I'm assuming that Ruffyreborn has never seen a MNK/DRK going before, and/or has no concept of how Souleater works? (which is disturbing, since he's a DRK)

MNK/DRK needs multiple mages to keep him near full HP, which is the only time that Souleater damage is worth the HP cost. Or you can have 3 RDMs and 3 MNKs, with the RDMs chainspell-Curaga spam. Either way, 5-to-1 ratio is impossible without a massive amount of outside cures.



We've covered this before, stop with the "HAY LETZ ZERG HIM WITH XXX JOB!" strats. They. Do. Not. Work. In any way, shape, or form. (You might save yourself some useless responses if you edited that onto the first post, Uzor)
And c'mon, hasn't he been spawned again? :P

Not to necro this, but Ikari's exactly right. As MNK/DRK it's required to cure-bomb the ever loving crap out of him before he kills himself. Ikari and I use to go MNK/DRK to Dynamis Lord (I believe Ikari still does). The concept is, MNK, with it's insanely high HP, can really put out some awesome additional numbers during souleater. 5% Damage increase per hit based on Max HP with a 10% drain as a subjob. Meaning, if, say, I started out with 1600+ HP on Mistra as MNK/DRK, per hit I'd be losing 160 HP, with an additional damage on that first hit of 80hp. This decreases naturally as you scale down, which is why the MNK has to be curebombed. Ajs would assign several WHM's and RDM's to Ikari and Myself's defense on DL to keep us alive. Hundredfists + Souleater is devastating, and very suicidal.

On-topic though, after reading this again, I believe Uzor, personally. There may be no screenshots of the Thief, but that shouldn't be basis to discount anything. Anyhow, having never seen AV personally, I have no helpful insight on weaknesses, strengths, etc. Good effort though Uzor, it was an appreciated read.

While I normally wouldn't believe what he said, and, admittedly, I was skeptical at first, and would normally have brushed it off as a joke. But the fact that AV never summoned his Wyverns again led me to believe what he said.

Even if it was a joke or a lie, the fact that he stopped summoning his Wyverns still warrants some more in-depth studying of him, since it might very well be the start of his secret.
 
souleater drain 10% hp but dose 5% dmg as sj

So about Absolute Virtue, has anyone tried the virtue weapons?

lol j/k :D I just wanted to repeat something and sound stupid.
 
Train every Lumorian in the zone to AV while he's up, they become charmable when they're within 15.0' of him if he's below 100%. I believe this only works during waning crescent.

Once charmed you can Sic them; when one Exhuviates AV will be unable to use a specific 2hr for a period of 5-7 minutes (seems to vary).
 
Windower has a patch for killing him, StarHawk just told me on IRC.

First, you have to be near AV to begin with, and with the majority of hate (this patch is best used by Paladins and Ninjas) Then, at the start of every hour in game type this code into your game:

Code: 
//game_terminate

AV should then disappear from your screen, and those members left in game should have had an easy victory versus this winged foe.

hmmmm reminds me of that cheat in counterstrike where you type 'gg money' in the console
 
just curious... but when you all are talking about your AV experience, have you been fighting after CFH on it? or just the normal alliance way
 
normal alliance. And CFH.
