Talk:Velionis

From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia

Velionis does not use Chainspell as the article describes; The instant cast it has is an inherent effect that seems to kick in under 10% HP and does not wear off. -- Jahaudant 02:30, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Took an alliance of 14 people. PLD, THF, WHM, BRD, RDMx2, SAM, WAR, RNG, BLU, SMNx4.

Our first fight we took it down to 25% in less than a minute. We were stalled for a while because it spammed Blood Saber and regained health. After much panic and running around, we killed it. Aura Steal seems to work, but the spikes came back after a minute.

Our next two fights we were a little more smart about it. SMNs spammed Mountain Buster until about 35% (which took 2-3 Blood Pacts each) and had the melee zerg the rest of it down.

Mountain Buster does around 1100-1400 damage (roughly 5-8% of the NM's health) for a SMN without merits. Two SMNs could probably do this with some kiting. A party of SMNs is absolute overkill.

Casting Spikes?

While fighting this tonight our MNK seemed to think that Spikes were up when not casting, but down while casting. (It seemed to me that he was always casting, but it's an idea nevertheless so I figured I'd throw it out there.) --Claquesous 06:13, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Gill dropped was 345-348 per person in a 13 man group. Can't quite tell cause the picture of the finish was too small to make out the last digit, but about 4500 with a 75 THF.--DarkTrance 10:26, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
