Been almost 2 years since we last spoke, but gd man very nice write up and interesting at that. Nice to see some body take his/her class to it's boundaries(if there are any).
I was doing 'MUST HAVE O.KOTES' farming and camping around 40ish, because I was getting told to go get gear noob for parties. And this was when inflation was bad and kotes were on the order of 3.5 million on my server.
Then I said screw it and just leveled. Best plan ever.
Though I'm a slow player (since then I'm only 72.. took a break in there, and etc...) I find that the journey is worth it and I got more enjoyment out of being in parties wearing my battle gloves and mercenary's headthingy than sitting in Castle O running laps around the pillar playing tag with bots or bug hunting in dunes. (Got a LS mate that is STILL camping o.kotes after nearly a year because he refuses to level nin, sam, or mnk without them.. all are at 34... >.>)
no I don't, that's where strategy and knowing your enemy helps. Even if you mess up and actually let it do it, it's not a big problem since you can recover all the damage from it with a single chakra+invigorate, plus it ignores shadows which also means it doesn't remove them.
Can you run out of range on Vertical Cleave if you're paying attention and as far back as you can melee from to start with? (Similar to Throat Stab?) I think I've only fought a Euvhi once as NIN for a Limbus card, and was quite surprised to get one-shotted by a nasty Vertical Cleave (Berserk up didn't help any), so it's definitely something I'd watch for if I ever do it again.
Also, I'm not sure if it's a bug or what, but the Youtube video in the post before this one is now the same one in this post. It's still easy enough to find by clicking other videos you posted, but I thought I'd mention it.
not sure if you can run out of range (I don't think so), but as monk you can always make sure it doesn't use it against you, using strategy and controlling the fight.
There seems to be some weird LJ bug about embedding youtube videos, where changing the embedded video in the most recent post changes the one in the second most recent, and vice versa. I tried several times changing one, and the other would get changed in the source too, and changing the other would change the first one too. If anybody knows a workaround about this (or can inform the LJ admins to have them fixed) let me know.
