Alexander/Odin

[chrono fantasy]

Hey all,
So apparently the quest for Alexander/Odin fight will be coming this update. Who will be logging in right after update is done? If you are, if maybe we can possibly do the fight tomorrow, but who wants to fight Alexander and Odin with me?

I am willing to bet that a whole pty of smns can take them down. But what do you all think would make a good setup for them? They are probably like the actual Alexander/Odin fight, I don't really know the Odin setup and I fought Alexander such a long time ago I forgot what setup I had for that fight.

I'm logged out in WG so I'll be there once the update is done.

Has it been layed out what preregs are needed to fight either avatar?

Here is all the update info.

 

[chrono fantasy]

I hope they don't do something crazy like - ToAU's Alexander fight completed and having fought Odin from Einherjar or something.

I already beat ToAU missions, but I never fought Odin before in Einherjar.

 

[Zaltana]

You know how i feel about ToAU so i'm hopping the same thing. but i have a sinking feeling thats going to be the case.

 

[Shirai]

I'm waiting a little with the fights until more is certain.
On the Diabolos prime fights smn proved to be no more than dead weight.

I have a feeling either prime fight with Alex and Odin will be similar.

 

[Zaltana]

my ranger will be more then happy to fill them both with more holes then spartan shields.

 

[chrono fantasy]

Yeah, I have rdm, blu, and blm also if needed. I have a feeling the strats are going to be the same as the regular fights against Alexander and Odin. I'll look up the strats on wiki when I come home, I don't remember what the strat was for Alexander except for the fact that he uses a lot of horrible light attacks.

 

[Myrrh]

Count me in, Chrono.

 

[Jelloman]

I too will be chasing after the new avatars immediately following update..... they did update ffxi wiki but quest not laid out yet. As soon as it is i'll be making battle plans.

 

[Jedigamer]

I'm in assuming the servers come back online at the proper time. I'd like to go BLU if you are forming a group. BLU seemed to work good against Alex.

 

[Birdman]

Greetings from a new Quetz member from Midgard ^^ I should be on immediately after the update and would be more than willing to help out with these (I'd like them myself as well). Available jobs for me are PLD THF SAM MNK NIN WHM RDM BLM

 

[Arctorus]

Chrono Sign me up.
I will be login in after Update and the first thing in my head is getting Alexander & Odin.
My SMN is a fully career SMN/merited Summoning skills @316.
I also have Paladin 75 Red Mage 75 Black Mage 75, Samurai 75, Monk 75, Bard 75.
I'll do look it up before heading out though but I am up for it.

 

[Davion]

I"d love to go, but I have a sinking suspicion that I may not be able to because of a mission requirement.

 

[Zaltana]

thought just hit me. we've throught so much about the summon pact, what about the possible items? The other options to select for the non smn's that do the fight.
