Talk:Podarge

From FFXI Wiki

Our linkshell uses the following strategy to defeat this NM.

First 50% Tank (pld with aegis and ochain, 119 capped MDT and PDT) holds Podarge while 2 smns and whatever rangers we have that night line up for decoy shot. Pld needs to be aware of where they are so rngs can line up best. All offensive casters cast their nukes judiciously so as not to pull hate, usually some sort of ice. Rangers, use ONLY regular ranged attacks, or wildfire if they have it. Summoners use Heavenly Strike whenever they have it available. Healers do their thing. Any brds should use Wind Carols on the pld and whatever else the pld would like. It's subject to personal preference. This increases her physical dmg tp move, she will use rending talons a lot as well. This should not be too difficult to survive if everyone is paying attention and doing their jobs.

2nd 50% Pld continues to hold the mob. Everyone should now attempt to zerg the mob. Rngs go all out, use overwhelm, EES, whatever it takes, while mages nuke hard. The idea here is to take it down before 2 things happen. The mob loses enmity on the pld and attacks everyone (usually instant wipe) or the massive sudden physical ws damage one-shots the pld. All mages should be nuking as much as possible in this stage as well.

Damage on this NMs tp has done 5,500 damage to the above very well geared pld, so going in and hoping it wont kill you is not a valid strategy. Scherzeo will not save you either, she can still one-shot you through it.

TRIO + Trusts

BLU/BLM/GEO

Takes severe Ice damage. Opening with Darkness skillchain and MB ICE is quickest way I have found. Chain Affinity + CDC > Sinker Drill with Blizzard to MB. Needs to happen before Podarge uses TP moves. Tank trust is used to limit interupts on person performing SC. GEO uses Acumen/Malaise. Well geared jobs can one shot. -Azzariah (Please sign your work with the four tildes ~ or the pencil icon --Spicyryan (talk) 05:43, 18 May 2016 (UTC))

BLU/COR/GEO

CDC to 3k TP Leaden Salute should kill it with Blaze of Glory geo-Malaise and indi-amumen, if not, can burst with Burst Affinity Spectral Floe. You may want Tactician's Roll and Wizard's Roll the entire run for this setup. --Mrxi (talk)
