Dynamis-Divergence Findings
Dynamis-Divergence Findings
Starting map for Dynamis-Bastok [D]. Only pre-mini boss layout from what I've done. Still a WIP.
[+]
Alright we did our first Bastok run today and our ls may have figured something out with how damage works in Bastok. We always go in with my Gastra Rng and with a DP Cor. In sandy we normally pull all blu and spam trueflight and leaden for quick kills. In Bastok when we pulled a blue statue damage was less for Leaden but was still big damage. The big difference was that Trueflight was never good damage and was about 1k damage. We then proceeded to pull a green statue but this time Leaden took a big hit in damage (1k) and Trueflight doing the big damage. We tried a few other weapon skills like Wildfire on a blue enemy for terrible damage and good on green. We think the statue eye colors determine what weapon skill affinity affect damage.If this is true then blue eyes will take more damage based on Darkness (Distortion, Gravitation, and tier 1's) by physical/magical weapon skill or elemental magic and green eyes take more damage based on Light(Fusion, Fragmentation, and t1's)by physical/magical weapon skill or elemental damage. Can someone help verify this? Also a side note is we never fought a red eyes or Aurix this run but judging from the Sandy and Bastok zone bosses the damage should be neutral.
Hope this helps.
Also! After zone boss kill there is a red eye statue at the Alchemy Guild and one in the Dead end alley just south of the guild.

Just to add, quadav boss used at least PLD RUN DRK MNK and I think SAM 1 hours.
Aura is pretty terrible, but if you try to counter it with haste buffs and melee it, bring something else to counteract Wrath of Gu'da or w/e that move is called. It will wreck things.

Would a melee strat with going balls to the wall with haste buffs to counteract his slow aura work, do you think? SV March x3, and Idris Geo-Haste?

No time extension from Quadav Mega Boss? If not, anyone found the 2nd time extension?
Nope to first part of your question.

Damn wonder what the patch notes saying about Dynamis-Sandy [D} having a 3rd wave of enemies after Mega Boss is defeated. Has anyone beat Halphas post patch to see if new mobs pop or if a time extension is granted?
Updated wiki with Dynamis-Bastok [D} info:
https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Dynamis_-_Bastok_(D)
Would like to confirm information on the following:
1) What is the pet name/type that spawn from Regiment Quadav BSTs?
2) What is the name of the Mid-Boss statue NM?
3) What is the name of the Mega Boss Quadav NM?
4) What is the position of where the Mega Boss Quadav NM spawns?
5) Are the titles for the mid-boss and mega boss respectively: Dynamis-Bastok [D] Trespasser and Dynamis-Bastok [D] Infiltrator?

The position of the MB Quadav is right outside mog house where you'd get outpost warp in the present. It's true about the title wins that you receive.
1) What is the pet name/type that spawn from Regiment Quadav BSTs?
Pets that i noticed were bee's and fly's.
4) What is the position of where the Mega Boss Quadav NM spawns?
Spawns right in front of the MogHouse, right in the center before you can turn the corner. There were not any mobs past him.
5) Are the titles for the mid-boss and mega boss respectively: Dynamis-Bastok [D] Trespasser and Dynamis-Bastok [D] Infiltrator?
Can confirm "Dynamis-Bastok [D] Infiltrator" for beating the megaboss.

Thanks for the info. Interesting that the eye statue colors might be unique in properties for each zone.
Yes, I can confirm the elemental weaknesses applying to the statue eye color. Updated map and wiki details with information.

Anyone figure out how elemental weakness works on the megaboss yet?
When we did him, he seemed to rotate absorbing / resisting various elements.
At first, wind was the only element that worked (thunder was resisted to extremely low damage), but after a while wind started to heal him and we had to change to thunder which started working better. After a while of that, thunder healed him and we had to use blizzard.
We didn't probe a lot beyond that because we were mostly a physical setup. The addle aura is just as bad as the slow aura, so I don't know that one method will end up being favored over the other.

Ka'Rho unique moves:
Hell Whirl: High physical damage AoE + Bind
Ore Hurl: Cone attack physical damage + 2 debuffs (Defense Down and Magic Defense Down I think?)
Thousand Fists: Hundred Fists + various en-debuffs (Poison, Blind, Plague, Silence, Paralyze)
The Slow aura isn't really a problem with SV Marchs and Indi-Haste.
Hell Whirl coupled with The Wrath of Gu'Dha (Gravity + Knockback) can be a dangerous combo if people are not correctly positioned.
Full Break overwrites Shell Guard.

Finally saw the names of the mid-boss and mega boss: Mu'Sha Effigy and Ka'Rho Fearsinger. That glowing diamond turtle shell for the mega boss looks sick. Is that a new effect or did a previous model use that same shell? And the jumping tp attack looks funny. Quadav HNM got hops >.>.

Unless there is a gimmick where elemental nukes do tremendous damage to the wave 2 boss, a straight physical zerg seems to be just fine, and probably hard to beat at that.
We killed it Wednesday in three minutes with a classic zerg. People started getting nuked <25% to Hell Whirl and other TP moves, but being in a hybrid set seems to make it negligible for those who had such a set. There is a nice little alcove with some barrels where you can tank/fight him and not get knocked back by his Wrath equivalent move. You definitely do not need as many people as we have here - we weren't really intending on killing him the first run, so a setup that's optimized for killing him with fewer people is certainly possible. I don't think we even had bolster up because we used it on the baby boss, so he could easily be killed with the six correct jobs - probably even less if you have a SMN zerg or something.
Here is a copy of the run. Wave 2 boss buffing starts at around 1:39:00.

Looks like the Dyna-D megabosses gain this same visual effect around 50% HP, although I agree the Quadav one looks particularly awesome. The Orc aura you've probably seen if you've done Halphas, it's just a rainbow glow. I don't recall what the Yagudo one looks like.

Looking for info for relic hands +2/+3 upgrade materials and count to update the template that does our reforged pages over at BG Wiki. Thanks and sorry if I missed it being posted but glancing over the last few pages I didn't see anything.

The stronghold bcnm in past beadeaux used the same effect too as well (same guy as the shadow lord fight technically).
So, what's the best way to kill Halphas at this point?
Melee with EA/Scherzo? Magic with EA/Scherzo? Magic with abusing height differences somewhere?

There are two red eyes at the exit to South Gustaberg after the mid boss clear, one is the RNG / BST and forgot what the other is.

Last night during our dynamis bastok run we were near what would be Deegis's Armour and we were aggroed from below. A wipe followed and while I was attempting to raise people who were dead right around that corner when I would move up to them to make sure they were safe to get up they completely disappeared from my screen. I was unable to target them as if they had HPd and were no longer in the zone. I was not the only person in my alliance who experienced this, however I am unsure if everyone experienced this since they were accusing us who could not see everyone else as "must have clipped into someone else's instance". (I did not move my dead character)
It would only happen around the corner near the boxes, once I stepped past the boxes people who were not in my party would disappear.
Just wondering if this could be a windower issue or if anyone else has experienced this before I make a bug report on the official forums.
TLDR: Certain spot in dynamis bastok allaince members disappearing offscreen... anyone else experience this?

So do we have a better understanding on Aurix at this point? On our last 2 Sandy runs we've had Aurix actually just cast Warp instead of the usual Frypan -> Bail. To preface, a couple weeks ago in Bastok we had one of the Statues literally right behind the first Aurix statue become the second statue so when we were down to our last handful of statues so we were under the impression that any statue could become an Aurix Statue and force them to pop close to each other. However, The first time we saw it warp we were down to 2 statues so we thought maybe, since it would most of the time flee very quickly on the 2nd statue that if there weren't at least 3 statues left, it would just warp. The second time we saw it warp, we had like 7 statues left, so we wondered if anyone else had similar experiences or have a better understanding since last week was the first time we ever saw it actually cast Warp.
We didn't get far enough on both runs to actually see if there was an Aurix statue after mid-boss on both these runs post-Warp.

Besides killing mid-boss / final boss, is it worth it to kill the Commander / Leader NMs for handshards / voidhands?
We've been getting more handshards and voidhand drops at a faster rate just killing NQ mobs than actually taking the time to kill Leader/Commander NMs so far

I tribox occasionally and i just skip leaders, by the time i kill 2 of those i coulda kill 30 nq.
Our group has migrated to simply blue mage cleaving all the trash with a floe>sleep>floe>sleep>crush rotation bypassing pretty much all bad ***short of occasional charms. The volume greatly outpaces the leader drops but not including them means missing out on volte/etc. having a sch do distortion > cor closing lead with 2 blms mbing makes quick work of any leaders and does not slow down the group as the rest can handle incoming pulls and trash with ease. We find that an at group tank and tank pulled to be most effective for constant meat into the grinder. We’re generally 9-12 players +- 1-3 mules
We cleared the entirety of wave 1 San D with over 20 mins on the clock with about a third of second wave. Lots of greens on second wave slows down with only 3 sources of melee damage with low buffs
Upwards 30 shards and 10? Voidfeet. Drg DNC and Drk for days
Including boss drop, just shy 700 rusted and 250 blacks. We distribute the currency to those that don’t get shards to progress on them.

Leaders don't seem to drop shards at any greater rate then regular mobs, they can drop 100's and the gear. We just avoid them and crush everything else pretty quickly.
