Goblin CollectorFollow

Anyone up for fighting this NM? I don't think anyone does considering his drop is pretty much obsolete thanks to other gear choices but I'd still like a chance to kill him and possibly get drop along the side. On a side note he doesn't sound like a pushover.

The only strat I've seen and heard is Rdms 2-hring and Stunning him while the Blms, Rngs, and Smns all Manafont/EES/Astral Flow.

O.O

He's like the worst nightmare of every tank in the game, unless he just attacks fast but has low accuracy like Charybdis, then fast melee hits won't matter too much to a ninja.

I'd imagine you'd need to Chainspell stun him and just have everybody just launch everything they got at him. BST alliance probably could work too, LotB is always up for a challenge right? Go get 'em tiger.

Was told maybe an alliance of War/Nins and Drk/Nins might be able to kill him, just trade off WS and everyone keep shadows up. Would have to be able to Stun his Diaga and Banishga III and Bomb Toss or we're all eating dirt.

On a related note, though his drop is crap, has anyone ever seen a pair?

EDIT: Avotas, to answer Poke's question, do you remember how good his accuracy was? Would it be a problem to Nin tanks and /Nin? I know most Goblin NMs have pretty good accuracy plus Goblin Rush will eat all 3 shadows.

:o When are you going to fight him? Need to go get a bag soon.

I triple-dog-dare the LotB to fight this guy!

RevenantVDA,

I would say average, the attacks are so quick I don't think a Ninja tank will work. Because he chooses to reset hate nearly each attack, I would just being in a lot of DD and Magic Damage people and murder him. I don't think a normal setup of tanks / support / damage works here.

So is LotB really going to fight this thing? I can get a bag and tag along as a Stun monkey.

we havent set a date yet... but ill let you know when we're gunna tackle him



no... you cant come as a monkey... but could we use you as a jug pet? ^^;
