I was thinking of a strategy for some of the tougher NM out there and wondered if red proccing multiple times (assuming don't need atma) inflicting terror effect is crazy time or viable strategy? I mean get your yellow or blue then spam whatever ws when you can and tp mob to death. I'm sure I am either missing something, or this is a known strategy, and I'm the last to know.....

After about the 3rd time proc'ing red on the same mob, terror lasts for about 3 seconds.

The more times you stagger an NM using ruby weakness, the less time it will stay staggered.

Last time i tried, I think it only worked liked 5 times or so before it stopped working. It was on carabosse btw. But 30 seconds of free wailing on NM's is pretty nice, but not needed for most of the time.

And if you do it more than that, the terror won't even happen.

Yeah around proc 4 or 5 it pretty much wears off before the stagger message shows. Not to mention the second it wears the mob will start using it's moves with more tp than normal.

You can proc blue and grellow a few more times than red. Like usually stops around 7 I think.

Also the exact number seems to vary somewhat by 1 or so on max staggers
