there's some 'thing' about there being an 8 attack/round cap or something, and having a KC/Rid combo helps you attain the cap more often. I really dont' know much about it, I hardly pay attention anymore.

KClub alone averages 4 hits per swing, with a Ridill it'd average 5.5(?)...but at roughly double the delay. Could pop on Haste gear but then you'd be sacrificing slots where you could have accuracy, so it seems sortof pointless. =/
 
Club main hand and the shield released from ToAU best combo. Forgot name but its like 25-30hp. Club can get you at 1600dmg per round given 8 hits land. Ridill is too slow and for sure dual wielding it lowers SEBW dmg.

well considering they were DRK, souleater takes 10% hp and deals that as direct damage

Enhance souleater gear makes it 12%. Both of the thfs in the video used mandau. Using a bunch of DRKs with Krakens isn't some kind of uber strat, it's just zerging. Keep in mind they can only do one of these every 2 hours.

Excuse the ignorance, because I really am not sure, but can COR refresh 2 hour abilities?

I didn't notice any in the video and YouTube is blocked at work. :/

Not only can COR refresh 2 hours, a *level 1* COR can refresh 2 hours just as well. Have everyone not directly participating, come as their COR regardless of level, and feed other people their 2-hours repeatedly.

They can, but it's not 100%. I'm also fairly certain that it's somewhat difficult to get them to refresh it.

Bv2 is kind of farm status for a lot of end-game LSs, so only being able to do 1 every 2 hours makes it difficult. If you rely on Corsairs to refresh two-hous, then you're going to need to bring a lot. IIRC they used enough KC DRKs to fill two parties if you include their support. Corsair 2 hr only refreshes two hours on 5 and 6, which means statistically you'll need 3 2-hrs to refresh the DRKs'. You need to bring 6 whole CORs just to refresh the 2 hrs once. It's much more efficient to go with a more conventional setup.

My LS did the run twice this past Friday. First we won in ~42 minutes, and the second we won in ~30. We don't like to push it too hard, but other LSs do more like 5-6 runs in a single night. Going purely theoretically you need approximately 15 corsairs for each party of DRKs, just to refresh 2 hrs.

Bada-boom, bada-bing.
 
The BV2 thing wasn't really a suprise, but that Vrtra video was pretty impressive. Stun gun and KC zerg ftw, definitely bad ass.

And there's this thing called "delay", wherein hitting 8 cap once or twice more often but losing out on 4-5 attack volleys means much less overall damage. But hey, at least you hit more on your significantly fewer rounds of attacks! That's cool I guess!

Yeah I totally wouldn't bother taking it that far. I enjoy accomplishing things with balanced parties, with diversified jobs too much to exploit any one or two job abilities like that. It seems to take the fun out of it, imo.
Good to know though. I was just curious about COR having the ability to refresh a 2 hour, or not.

In other news, (shameless bragging ftw), in our two runs last week we got:

HQ Staff, NQ Staff, Mask, Scythe, 2 C Cloths, and a C Thread. I am now the owner of a Manteel :).

Haha, congrats. :p

Do you do this run? If so, what kind of setup do you usually use?

Our parties usually look like this:

Tank:
WHM
WHM
BRD (Relic horn)
RDM
PLD/NIN <---Main tank on B
PLD/WAR <----Voker for summons
BLM1
BLMx4
Refresherx2 (BRD RDM COR, doesn't really matter)
BLM2
BLMx4
Refresher
TH4

Our first run last time one of our WHMs wasn't able to enter, so we had to run the whole fight with only 1 WHM. We did fine, so this leads me to believe that we could possibly switch out one of the WHMs for a TH4 whore in that party.
 
Nope. Haven't tried V2 as of yet. Looking forward to it. ^^
