hehe good luck on that ^^
did it about 3 weeks ago, we went on a sunday, an alliance of 12, so 2 pts, both tried 3 times, died...
tried it again on the wednesday after, tried it another 3 times, we finally won on last! woot! ^^
tho we failed 5 times i enjoyed it alot, coz it was all about team work, thinking the reason why we went wrong, changing the possible kiters improving our strategy and load and loadza team work and we finally won ^^ it was such a triumph ^^
anyways, yea, its good to bring medicines and stuff with you, says allakhazam's guide, however, when we beat it, we all used up all our meds from previous trys (apart from me i still had one yag drink left), used up all 2hrs, so its not exactly compulsary. yes the battle is tough but it is doable ^^
below was our strategy and things we found out, hope it ease it a little ^^;
our set up was rng thf pld rdm whm drk. on the wednesday run
rdm and thf were kiters. rdm gravity it and bind it and stuff whilst kiting it, thf just.. you know, run around, utsesemi, flee
so rng pulled the un-kited mob to the tunnel, me(whm) pld drk and rng killed off the first mob with ease. The runs we lost was because at this point, pullers start to get into trouble, and which ever one we pull off first (tried thf first, then 2nd time we tried rdm's first) either of them struggle to pull further and die.. also after first mob my mp was very low, so healing was a problem.
so, what we did different on our winning round was:
thf immediately used a yellow liquid at the start of kiting, to keep it in a melee form so that the mob doesn't change into a mage type and start casting magic, because that was when he start to die.
and after the first mob died, we pulled off rdm's mob so that i can a chance to rest, rdm convert and stuff to take over the healing, also, rng changes his position so that he was close to thf, who was still kiting. rdm also stand near the ranger incase if thf gets into trouble she throws a cure or a regen on him (note: do not heal healers because first mob is dead.. whm getting the hate of the kiting mob is not a good thing.. lol)
and when the thf struggles, rng turns around and take the kite mob, thf recast utsesemi and off he goes kiting again. this made it much more manageable, and we won with ease ^^
and... as a whm my enfeeb sucks and i thought it'll never stick(then again my enfeeb is capped for a lvl 40 capped area ^^;), but i tried it anyways, and turned out.. silence and paralyze do stuck on those evil things... ^^ so whenever it changed jobs and casts spells, throw a silence.. makes the battle runs smoother
also, paladin always shouts stop when that transmog... whatever happens
you might want to try smn kiting, i think it'd really work ^^ and much easier. just like pet kiting with bst perhaps...
hope this helps ^^, best of luck and enjoy it ^^
