Lakshmi Yumcax Fighting Now!

You have to get the colonization rate up.... When we did it on this server we had a ton of people and it only took like 40 minutes with 15% colo rate. If that is at 80% or something reasonable you will deal a lot more damage and kill it faster. The content wasn't really meant to be done at low colonization rates because the goal is to increase that and then fight the mega bosses.

Oh, I know, but SE REALLY forgets the die hard playerbase they have going in this game. That's how we even had people do the AV and PW fights for over 10+ hours in the past, and even still today had players sit through 12-18 hours of that Yumcax staring at the screen desperately trying to win with what we had to work with. Some kind of time limit or something wouldn't hurt on these, instead of them existing as something to be brute forced, it would go back to XI's principle that teamwork = victory.

Also doesn't help that our server is kinda deadish and mostly soloers, so milage varies greatly in killing prowess. Having wonky NM mechanics like dispelling the regen with wind magic and not having it work immediately like a normal dispel, but requiring spammage didn't help the matter for the brave nuts that dove in face first.
