Damnit I can't be paying all attention to you like that it's easy for you to sneak off when the grass is higher then you.

Height jokes don't bother me. Tarus will rule the world and kill anyone taller than a hobbit.
 
Well I just witnessed Ixion being killed on Quetz and he's trully an evil pony. Staying away from him will do no good because he will come rushing horn first at you no matter where you are in the fight. He doesn't even care if he runs head first into a wall. He went whoosh between Jamal, Auronx and me into a mountain. lol

Noone knows how blind works, some assume it's your int-targetmnd, some it's mnd-mnd. Also Altruistic cape is better than this for sleep and easier to get as you can duo the NM.

I agree about 2nd part except for different reason 5 enf magic is nice but so is the 25 mp on the alt. cape. Also it a known fact that all dark magic spells are int all light magic is mind. Plus you forgot about most important int base spell gravity. This cape is nice for brd and possibly blm, and maybe a whm that don't want penny up for a errant but want more then blue cape +1.

Nothing improves gravity as well as

rdm can't equip ixion anyway. fail.

For blm ixion cape= gleenman's cape and arguably the -2 enmity makes it a plus.

Well didn't mean dark magic as in dark magic line but dark magic in the book that there found in. Either way yes alt better, but that was not point was trying make. As for blm your forgetting about the mp as well.
 
Was good leveling my low jobs and having pixies cure me when I was low.
At least I leveled pretty much all jobs I was planning to solo in the past. Except DRK.
Fuck you, DRK.

Your right guess should have, but considering I said light and not divine, and blind is enfeb magic, not dark magic;thought he put 2 and 2 together but I was wrong;)

Still in the states, so I'm just wondering, how hard is Ixion, an what's the smallest group he could possibly be killed with?

I can't try anything ffxi related until I come home on 25th, so ya. I would try it myself otherwise.
 
Ugh, sorry for double post. Posting on the slow supposedly "high-speed" internet on my ipod from my hotel room.

Seing as he was killed off right away without any problem on all the servers, i would guess he is like every single HNM in this game save AV. To fuckin easy.
 
Has he been killed across servers daily? Yea.

Is he a pushover?
Not by any stretch of the imagination.

If your people aren't able to gather quickly (which with current campaign situation is the case) it makes it extremely tough to hold as well.

Ability to pop in multiple zones ensures people like Mikeman won't be claimhacking.

It's a great addition.
 
Love the popconditions, i still doubt he is less of a pushover then Tiamat, Cerberus, Khimaira, JoL, Bahamut, Odin, the new beastmen kings or anything else this game has to offer. I havent played in a month or so, but if the mob is killed on the first few hours of appearing, you can pretty much assume its a pushover.

While the pop-condition does a little something to weed out scrubs, it does nothing for those who knows what they are doing and want a challenge.

Hard to hold isnt the same thing as hard to fight.

The reason he's been taken down on our server is the same ls has killed him everytime. There's a lot more aegis's, relics, and tons of more gear and merits on each character then when the NM's you mentioned first appeared.

He's a 21-24 spawn, not a 3-7 day like the NM's you eluded too. Difficulty factor in comparison to Fafnir/Behemoth/and lolturtle is much more accurate. Ixion is much much more difficult then them.

What does the same LS killing it have to do with how hard it is or isn't? Perseverance killed him yesterday. Not having WoTG access(lmfao im a noob) I can't really say much about the fight. What I can say though is that it's not for everyone. I think it's one of those HNM that not your typical wanna-be-HNMLS-camping-Fafhogg-everyday or 9000-tank-rotation-burn linkshells would be able to handle.

Perseverance was the first LS other than kaizen to defeat it. They've also been there watching, I've seen deltoid there. There's now strategies out. I was eluding to how it's difficulty couldn't be measured on it being killed the first day, as the people killing it are more experienced with HNM on a whole.
 
You have to keep in mind that that same ls got their asses demolished by Ixion in many of their attempts while they kited him trying to recover lol

He has a bit of hp, but hes really weak to melee. If you have good tanks and mage support he can be taken down in 45~ mins. I'd say he's a little bit harder than khimaira and Cerb, but not much. We've started on him with 11 ppl, and while that'd take forever to kill him with, it was really easy to start dmging him with that.

We've been monopolizing this thing on Slyph and have come up with a few strategies over the week since its release. He has a decent number of HP and some pretty wicked TP moves. (Lightening Spear 1400 dmg) Yes, Jamal is right when he says he is not a push over HNM. Even with our LS's relics including 4 Aegis, 3 Apoc and about 7 other various relic weapons, this thing still takes us about an hour to kill. We've found out though that Titan, rangers and monks mess the pony's day up pretty bad.

On a side note, how CC'd is this NM and sandworm? I love fighting sandworm <3 so much fun! On Slyph we have 0 CC on Worm and 1 other LS to compete with for Ixi. Are these HNMs pretty popular on Quetz?

Oh and a side note, I completely love the idea of HNMs spawning in more than one zone. It gives it that whole hunting aspect of monster killing that was absent before. A lot better than sitting around in Aery for 3 hours @_@
