Getting The Blood Pumping

I have had one hell of a week. I got to do some things that really gave me a challenge(other than putting up with Tidis.) With Shaan's ZNM shell doing higher tier ZNMs I'm finally getting a chance to get some HNM tanking which is freaking awesome. Here is the run down of my events.

Thursday ShieldsofValor had to farm again to make up for the shitty run we had Monday. The run started off great and kept that pace the entire night. One of the only nights that we were lucky enough to get two Despots in one run. Also we got all Sky NMs and I didn't even manage to die. SE must finally be getting bored of killing me.( I can only wish.) I went with Neojuggernaut to kick Odin's ass after sky. I now has a shinny new neck piece for Blm/Rdm/Drk ^^. Btw Odin is a bitch lol. He went down faster than Sylnome on a Moose! (thats pretty damn fast.)

Friday, Dierdren, Alfsta and I hit up NW limbus again. SE was having fun with us by not giving us the damn portal on the first few floors. It took us till the 5th damn ghost on the first floor ><. Anyway we got out with no deaths and cleared with plenty of time left. I think I'm starting to get the hang of it ^^

Satursday, zNzBzAz had some trolls to kill.

They killed back. ; ;


 Aristocrats had Dynamis-Beuc. Dierdren wanted to start practicing killing relic NMs to start being able to sell for later on. The run started off about like most runs do. (I died). A few mobs later, I died again. Then about 10 mins later, Splat!.... Yep that was the the day SE went into over time with killing my ass. At least a good note was that every time I died, more AF dropped. A ton of AF dropped if that tells you anything. Well we get to the fomor NMs. The first one was a pussy with the only deaths was me(big suprise) and a few others from the minis that came back.

That kind of hurt.
The second one, however, (Pld/Rdm/asshat) kicked our ass. Well it wasn't that he kicked our ass, but he lived long enough for his minions to kick our ass. It's amazing how long 30 secs of no melee damage seems. Well still we got the relic item for the bow and alfsta got it.

I was bored after that and decided to take a Blm DM shout. I never done it like that before so I figured, what the hell, and figured I'd get some knowledge that I didn't have before.

That was the fastest DM fight I have ever seen. Dead in 4 mins flat and most of that was prep time.

Dannick, Alfsta, and I tried to do some Fields of Valor augment fights. I wanted to be ballsy and try augmenting my Genie Weksit. Things started off well with this:

Ya so I got my hopes up with that. ; ; I should have called it off then.



So this is what I got:

Great, Blm tank ftw

Well I went to start on my Trial weapon. I figured I'd get the one with +12 acc and +4 Dex with 97 Damage. After mapping out my first trial, I set out for The Boyahda Tree. On the way there, a member from EX ran by and I caught a bit of ADD and followed him to The Dragons Aery. What I found when I got there was :

Pretty much a waste of time. But I got to see how much bitching goes on at HNM site. I would love some of the gear, but I don't think it's worth the bitching I seen at that camp.

Sunday zNzBzAz took on Sarameya which is the force pop version of Cerberus. Yep I'm on Cerberus killing Cerberus.. (That seemed a whole lot funnier in my head than on this blog.) This fight gave me a rush. He resists all kinds of slow and spam nukes the shit out of people. Fun. The start of the fight was a tad painful but we recovered to kick it's ass in the long run. Btw I love my fire resist set. I still need other gear to improve it, but damn it helps out a ton on stuff like this.

Death of pain in the ass dog:

And I got another piece of gear for my Blm ^^ (and alf died which is always funny.)

After ZNM, Allyrose and I hit up some Besieged. I found some comic relief for ya'll:
Photobucket
Dizz taking a Shiizz!! lol

During the attack Mitts joined the massive death that SE was bestowing on me. I seen a perfect chance at some revenge on Ally.
Photobucket
Ha! death to the frog. Didn't help that I was weakened and I'm a Drk....


But I wasn't able to kill her before she unclaimed. So The the frog thought it would be funny to charm me.. (oh shi) and Ally smiled as she took out her polearm.
Photobucket
I got to Mitts before the twit got me at least. . .

I'll get you Ally!

I'm starting to think I should have should have named this post "The worlds longest Blog!." As ya'll can see, I had a very full week. I would really love to do some HNM to get a chance to tank some of that hard stuff but I just couldn't put up with the bitching and crying that goes along with it. That being said, I'm looking for a good Einherjar Linkshell or a linkshell that does it in their schedule that could use someone that is super talented in the ways of death. They can check my profile on FFXI or talk to me in game. I don't mind posting an application.

  1. Damn it, your screenshots look so much prettier than mine. Definitely looks like you had a busy week. When does Shaan do those VNM runs?

  2. He does ZNM not VNM(for now at least.) I'm not really sure when the normal runs are. I know saturday and sundays and times are depending. I normally show up for the harder stuff that they need me for. I have yet to pop my own pop item. I'm just along for the enjoyment.

    My settings are 2048X2048 for FFXI. They are registry edits.
