The Taru Too!: A Very Good Day to be BLM.

Ok to so one my goals for gear was the Jet Seraweels. So last night we are having an LS meeting and one of the LS memebers shouts that Jaded Jody is up and he asks does anyone need this kill. I have been watching her for about 10 mins. So i quickly shout YES. So i ask to put the LS meeting on hold and for people to come help me. So i get some brave people to come and tackle this NM. Two people were already at camp and i shortly arrived there after with the rest of the party in tow. I am at camp no more than 2 mins when i see Jody claimed. I start to cry, curious to see who claimed this Monster i walk over and see this lonely 75 THF/nin. People in my party say that he will quickly die and to get ready for claim. Well after about 10 mins of soloing this THF has done 0 damage due to it being night time and Jody haveing regen at night and the THF has take 1% damage. So we are just waiting and watching and waiting and watching and so on....

All of a sudden here comes a NIN ally for the THF. My party is like oh man. So these two start whacking on it doing decent damge but the mob is still regening faster than they can damage. So after a while both the THF and NIN get hit with bad breath and with no mage in party nor any med's to self fix they start are surely dead. Now just for clearifaction i am not sure what all bad breath does status wise. But it did stop the NIN from getting up his shadows. So paralyze and or silence come to mind. Soon after bad breath the NIN dies and the THF is left with about 12% life roughly. Then out of no where anohter ally shows up to aid in this fight and its a RED MAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!. The RDM cast cure what ever and the THF's HP is back to about 40%. RDM starts casting raise on the NIN and he is raised. At this time our party is thinking well we can get TOD and semi camp it. We weren't sure of repop conditions, place holders or just pops, or like overgrown rose in the jungle that spawns from not killing the mob for like 24 hours. So we are talking about what we should do and getting ready to move on. Then all of a sudden like a PUK out of HELL this thing comes flying at us. Apparently the RDM slept a PUK a while back and didn't do what ever to get rid of it. So this puk comes flying around the corner past our party, literly scared the crap out of me i thought i was dead. It starts whacking on the RDM and the other melees dont help. I guess they think that if they help on the puk they will lose claim on the NM. Not sure why risk it in the heat of battle. So their gamble to not help the RDM doesn't go well in their favor. The RDM shortly dies after 3 or 4 hits from puk (YEA TARU HP Pool, oh wait i am taru also =(). So the puk disappears thanks to the MPK patch. Now we are left once again with a 40% THF and a weak NIN tank. Once again out of no where the THF has anohter NIN ally show up. It's as if this THF has countless numbers of people to just throw at the mob. This second nin is much better than the first at keeping shadows and such. Then for some reason something happens i don't know what because of filters, but my cursor was on the NIN and i started watching his HP go down. I thought to my slef for a second about the new rules and enough hate and such. I was thinking with these 3 being very low on health if we cast cures on them and get enough hate we could steal this mob. But i held that suggestion back because if we didnt' get enough hate we just gave them free cures and a possible win. So now the second NIN that has come to camp has now died. So now we are back downt to a weak NIN and a THF. The orignal NIN must have lost weakness sometime shortly after the second NIN died because he started fighting again. So my party is again waiting for these two to drop but they are slowly killing the NM from 39% down to 32% then the NIN dies from what look like two very quick strikes and from what my party memembers said they were two critcals also(OUCH). Now we are down to the THF he gets hit once during his casting but is not interrupted and is down to 2% life. TWO PERCENT. This THF is a machine man i am telling you. He solo's this thing for what seems to be 10 mins mostly likely not but he takes it from 32% to 29% before he finally dies. During this time our party is buffing up. Protect 5, stoneskins, blink, reraise items the whole 9. As soon as the THF dies we all cast or use instant job abilites. Flash, provoke, stun, dia, etc. We get claim and their is acutally no one else around us. So the melees start hacking and slashing away doing between 5 and 10 damage. (Note: 6 of us were in PT only 5 were able to fight one member got agro =(, Plus our jobs were not damage heavy. We had a PLD, WHM, BLM (me), BLU, and THF, and SAM (dead)). So this is a very good thing Jody was already beaten down some. So after casting 5 enfeebs on her. BIO II, Shock, burn, choke, posion II all landed. From my experience she hit the PLD tank very weak, but had very good Def also. So i got really impatient and started casting. Thunder III i think hit for 500ish or so and then fire III for 400ish, so now i am really annoyed and i start blizzaga III LOL. Hits her for upper 600 and that got her attention. PLD gets hate back but just barely. I cast drain get a whooping 10 HP back (oh boy i am safe now). So being stupid and panicing i cast thunderga II LOL does like 200 or so but was enough to drawn enough hate to kill me. So i am pissed entirely at myself for not being control'd. I compelelty forgot about reraise, i was content to watch the rest of the fight. Then the little box on the left pops up accept raise. HELL YEA!!!. Got up mob is like 4 or 5% left on it. POP Elemental Seal, Manafont FLARE.
