TheFlock vs. Jormy

well, you have to understand, alot of us have no wyrm experience at all, most of us didn't even know what avatar to use until about 3/4 of the way into the fight. The SMN's were awesome DD and really helped to speed thing along, especially with a natural drought of charmable pets in the vicinity. When we had both SMN and BST's with natural pets at the start, we probably peeled off the first 25% of hp in about 8-10 minutes. No doubt without the SMN spike damage it would take a long long time to kill him considering the multiple blood weapons and all, but I certainly wouldn't rule out that it is possible.

The fight, all told, took an hour and 15 minutes. Not breaking any records by any means and I know alot of people are probably like "big deal", but I think for alot of people who get discouraged with the endgame scenario for BST or a little bitter from being used and abused as SMN might get a kick out of this. We really feel Tiamat would be a easier wyrm for our shell, but the huge competition over him has us fairly weary to throw our hats into the arena. The prospect of losing claim at a low percent or having viable pets slaughtered I think makes it a situation best for us to avoid for now. I think we will continue to cut our teeth on lonely old Jormy for the time being until his big bad uncle Vrtra calls us out.

Made a video for the fight. For the most part the fight went really smooth. The video has some of our bad moments. One when he got turned around the wrong way and clips of the spike flails. One we almost wiped but were able to get back up and going.

lmao dowzer freakin awesome.
 
Wow nice job you guys. Way to show what pet jobs can really do. :P
 
Well lol, nothing really new about SMNs on Wyrms. Jorm is definitely a nice stepping stone though. I remember testing out strats and building up nin/drk for the first time on him. Good times, and the foundation for bigger and better things to come.

I think I'm most suprised all the pets werent wiped out all at once from the AOE at less than 20%. Although I guess really the worst thing about Jorm for the "normal" strat was the tripple roar spam from 20% and below (although new strats and what not have been discovered to reduce that since I've last fought him :/) which really wouldnt of hurt an alli of BST and SMN at all.

I'm very intruiged to see how you could handle Vrtra. He summons at a very fast rate and added with the room pops can become quite the problem if you cant kill them fast enough. Plus the Wing would sleep all the pets, as well as sleepga. And cant bring poison pots for pets. But hey, nothing worth doing is easy. GL!

Bouncing of hate can generally help awaken pets but you usually have to rely on Reward to wake up pets (and cure some other status ailments), does become a question of whether or not it is being spammed. Just for reference carrie and other 75 cap pets have around at least 2500 hp.

Vrtra would require a good amount of numbers to deal with pops which is a detriment because usually those extra numbers are being used to swap. Its a good challenge but nothing to take as lightly as other wyrms. Pets always do good damage on HNM per hit, its acc that really slows them down, because they tend to ignore the defense that really hampers melee.

SMN effectiveness is nothing new on wyrms I agree, BST and SMN tend to be a pretty good marriage between survivability and efficiency. BST can marathon and are specialist at handling hate which protects the SMNs from pulling BP hate when needing to recast while at the same time giving pets a greater longevity by pulling hate with avatar spike damage.

EDIT: Sorry if this is confusing I'm tipsy and tired.
 
Heard Thousandeyes do wonders vs Vrtra due to their high resistance to sleep, may be worth looking into in the future.
 
Good job, DaFlockz0rz!
