Talk:Shattering Stars/Dragoon

From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia

A lot of the entries in this guide heavily downplay the strength of the wyvern. I am no stranger to soloing on DRG, I've solo'd more levels than I've done in a traditional exp party in fact. I get a kick out of fighting stuff that should be able to kill me. I have some of the best gear available. That being said, I just went into this fight as DRG66 and was defeated. Maat's Wyvern was hitting for just barely less than he was. The time elapsed between when the wyvern came out to when I was reduced from 800 hp to 0 was less time than it takes to use an X-Potion +2, if that's any indication. Some advice from an overconfident DRG-- This isn't Pulling the Strings. Don't give Maat any slack, and do *not* underestimate his wyvern. While the other strategies may work fine if you're above 66 or lucky (or perhaps I was unlucky?), I would highly advise using the first (holding that first WS for the wyvern would be the key there). Especially if you're going in at 66. In addition, you might consider the use of a blink band or substituting the defense food for a good hp food (of which many are TP foods) like Carbonara or Nero di Seppia. --Ravahan 10:02, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
