Has it been proven 100% that once AVs 2 hour is matched in under a few seconds (Amount of time it takes to magic burst after a skillchain) that it uses it again?
Because with all the information given
2 houring after AV
Fight lasting 11 - 18 hours if lucky
Him asking to show him your principles.(meaning EACH jobs 2 hour)
My thought is that you HAVE to survive every 2 hour at least 1 time, but ONLY IF you match the 2 hour within the above timeframe. Only then is it locked from AV.
BUT he still has acsess to all other 2 hours until you lock them the same way.
This would be bang on for time period SS told us about bcause if the last 2 hour was beni it would double the time frame.
If it was the first it would only take a small amount of extra time.(If matched straight away).
Which is why you see so many beni in the first have of the video.
And keeping at least 1-2 blms for manafont and 1-2 rdms for chainspell. Because if you miss these you have to wait a full 2 hours before you can lock them again.
This is also why you see it 2 houring at the end before death because it cant lock the 2 hours the alliance doesnt have acsess too. Which also are not that important ie; thf, rng.
It is important to note that once you have locked AV that it still has the ability to use the 2 hour that is currently in use. Like we see it chainspelling spells and soul voiceing songs. But after cant use it again.
So it would be a case of surviving until you have had AV use all the 2 hours that are hardest (This is shown by the jobs in alliance) and locked them by being quick the match them. Then surviving through each one.
Once this is up he can spam his remaining 2 hours still, which are survivable on a spam level. Until you take him down.
Note if any dangerous 2 hours are missed and you use up the matching ones, you have to survive it spaming these (ie; manafont, beni, chainspell) until you can match them again.
This theory seems to corrispond with everything shown in the vid and also the timeline told by SS.
This would also explain why the timeline between 2 hours that people have got to expand has happened. Because 1/2/3 of the 2 hour AV WOULD of used inbetween this space of 2-3 mins is gone.
Unknown would be if by wiping and reclaiming it would regain those 2 hours.
With more thought on this made me think about other aspects of the video.
The low to high teir nuking to stop the regen.
Then later you see only high level nuking going off.
I belive that once you stop AVs regen it is stopped for good and blms, as shown are free to land their best spells on AV. Including a blizzard 4 on thundersday.
2 additional members are outside main alliance casting only cure 3. If my above theroy was right There is only 1 job you would need outside ready to step in. Pld/nin x 2. This is to survive the 2 hour manafont and chainspell.
Also look at the number of 2 hours AV can use. 14.
Its always bothered me, that in game story terms, is AV the 7 virtues or 7 sins?
Hes a combination of both. And if you look at the jobs that it has 2 hours to you could split them up into dark or light/vitue and sin.
Cortney tells us about the 2 hours have been matched in as fast a timline as on the video, but i dont see where in the links it happened, then after AV used the 2 hour again.
Only locking beni for good would you be able to beat this mob.
Also in terms of call W.(Note this is no longer DRG 2 hour, so why was it not changed) This is AVs job so this may be unlockable. Maybe matching this 1 only expands the time before AV can use again. As its on a lower recast of 20 mins than 2 hours this sounds plausable.
Many mobs Like JoL before you have to deal with constant mobs. Also in a lot of end game HNMs it the same. This may be AVs way of calling these mobs but with the DRG 2 hour change, SE would of had to find another way of implimenting these extra mobs if they changed the 2 hour.
I also noticed in the logs that AVs 2 hours were going off multiple times 1 log i read was sam, war, brd then later metoered the team to death.
Could AV maybe random which 3 2 hours it can use at every hp%. This would tie in what SS said about being lucky and beni being randomed in the first few teirs of hp%.
Remember every 2 hour AV does is possible to survive at least once with good preperation and teamwork.
