Talk:Vidmapire

BLU/WAR Solo Strategy

BLU/WAR - moderately geared (non REMA, non Colada) ~Asura.Technicz

Nice to haves:

• -DT set with about 20-30% PDT and MDT when you need to turtle up for trusts to heal you
• Decent TP set so you can self skillchain
• Decent WS set so you can boost your CDC/Savage Blade damage (my low end was 2000 and high end was 13000)

Trusts setup:

• Uka Totlihn for Haste Samba (JA haste to help delay cap)
• King Of Hearts for RDM goodness and his high HP values to survive
• Nashmeira or Prishe II for Curaga 5
• Selhteus for Rejuvination which keeps everyones MP high (my trusts went OOM without him)
• Yoran Oran (UC) for high single target cures with skin

Buffs:

• Red Curry Bun (I was 92% acc at 1150 when swapping between TP set and -DT set; likely the offset of 3% was due to -DT set turtle mode)
• Erratic Flutter
• Occultation
• Mighty Guard
• Cocoon
• Nat Meditation
• Berserk (when available)
• Warcry (when available)

Strategy:

• Melee strike him and use Sweeping Gouge/Tenebral Crush for Defense Down, and King of Hearts should also open with Dia 3
• Mostly a tank and spank fight where you just spam CDC
• Hope for an early Blue !! proc, and also hope for continuous Blue !! procs as you pummel him with CDC and self skillchains
• Blue !! proc can occur multiple times on the NM, even sometimes proccing him a second time while he was mid-proc of the first one
• Lowest proc damage I noticed was 5800 on a small end CDC hit
• Only noticeable "reset" of the proc that could be theorized was after my King of Hearts magic bursted with Firaga 4 (speculative)

• Keep Cocoon up as much as possible since his auto attacks hurt
• I would occasionally refresh Occultation when I had a moment between self skillchains
• I would toggle between TP set and DT set when I saw him performing TP moves; spells aren't that bad, especially if Occultation is up
• Decollation is the worst element he can swap to (Thunder) due to Shock Spikes, and constant stuns as BLU
• Highest stun duration was 30 seconds, so being able to swap to -DT is very useful to live during this
• Wings of Gehenna is annoying due to knockback and stun, so put your back to the wall for an easier time
• Blank Gaze was resisted all the time for me, even with my Magic Accuracy swap ins (mostly Jhakri), but I did not test with 2x Nibiru Cudgels

• If he never uses Decollation or Wings of Gehenna, he usually dies pretty fast
• Bloodrake can do some considerable damage if you aren't in -DT gear and he's hit you a few times; highest I saw was a 1400 in my TP set

WAR/SAM & BRD/WHM Duo

The key to this fight with trusts is letting them tank Vidmapire and stacking plenty of haste to spam TP moves to Blue proc (stun). You'll also want a dispel to remove status effects he absorbs, sometimes the NM opens the fight with this. It's okay to be buffed before starting the fight, in fact, it's more than preferable.

Trusts: Amchuchu, Matsui-P, Arciela II, Yoran-Oran

Your trusts are immune to Nocturnal Servitude and therefore cannot be charmed. However, they are susceptible to Eternal Damnation (Doom), which is conal AoE. If you have a reasonable build for Cursna you can try to remove their Doom, otherwise you'll lose your trust tank, that's why it helps to have a backup. As a player you can turn to avoid the doom from Eternal Damnation if you react quick enough. Position your tank trust so they'll have their back to the wall and point the NM away from the rest of your trusts.

If you have plenty of haste this fight should go by relatively quick. Matsui-P will also stun quite a bit with enough +haste limiting the threat of Vidmapire's TP moves. AAEV is a reasonable alternative to Amchuchu; however, the latter's fast cast is incredibly useful with this setup. Matsui-P will practically be able to spam stun making this NM largely non-threatening. Simply do your best to let Amchuchu tank if you're solo. If you're well geared and have master/master levels, then you'll probably be fine tanking Vidmapire and it'll die before it has a chance to get an Eternal Damnation off. Even so, you have roughly 30 seconds to kill the remainder of the NM's and win the fight, thus removing the doom.

DRG/SAM solo

Was trying various things on this fight farming claws and was struggling a bit. I started spamming Camlann's Torment and having a better time. IDK if maybe it's easier to get a Blue proc with a Light based WS? Does not require a skillchain to proc.

My Dragoon has 1350 JP. Using Ambuscade gear and Carbonara. Just gotta keep the Wyvern alive and live through early stuns. After proccing it's a short fight.

Used Yoran-Oran, Kupipi, Koru-Moru, Qultada, and Selh'teus.
