Don't even presume to know anything about me. Fact: THF67 RNG67 RDM71 RDM62 trying to kill this thing. It is going to fail, and guess what? It did.
I am going out on a limb here and going to assume this NM in question is Wyvernpoacher Drachlox.
Fact:
1st time I killed it:
60-Thief/Ninja-29 Phraust
66-Rng/Ninja-33 Eldamiri
72-Rdm/Whitemage-36 ???
Dropped, RDM died Early on due to EES.
Fact:
2Nd Time I killed it:
66-Thief/Ninja-33
65-Rng/Ninja-32
60-Blm/Whm-30
Dropped, No one Died, I took an EES because it missed. I tanked the entire Fight and did exceptionally well, especially because I said to the Rng and Blm: DO NOT DO ANYTHING, Do not Get Hate, Heal me if I need it. I tanked that Fight took it down basically solo. So don't give me that Shit about his party being unfit for the task, considering Ezi is Better Equiped now than I was then. I treated the fight how I treated Coffer Key mobs: As long as the only one fighting it is me, the fight will go smoothly. The Ranger never fired a shot, and the BLM only Cured me after Bombs. Coincidentally with that NM you DO NOT use Utsusemi if you are tanking as a thief, Arrows are 100% hit to your shadows, and as long as you are Shadowless, he can't hit you pretty much. Please note every EES that has been fired at me has missed...(6)
When I went coffer key hunting it was the best time Camping VT Mobs and Killing then while a PLD was laughing "Thief Tank? Sure dude... You gonna get creamed..." Then two fights later having the key drop and them apologizing for being wrong.
Sorry I just thought I would Chime in here.
After reading the thread the funniest part about it was the sheer lack of objectivity. You jump on Ezi's case for "Complaining" when you goad it out of him, he defends himself, then you say "He keeps bringing it up" when all he's doing is defending himself from false information from people that weren't even there..
Look, I don't care if this is resolved or not. But some of you seriously need to pull your heads out of your asses a little. Not everything in this game requires an alliance of 75's to do... I've solo'd and duo'd things that Wipe out entire Parties of Higher level characters. Hell Wyvernpoacher was EM to me and I duo'd it with the BLM healing. Just Don't presume.
