** Bear in mind that AV was released before ToAU and WoTG (duh), so use of a Blu/Cor/Pup/Dnc/Sch cannot be utalised. Nor can any gear or patches since. This includes the patch to the Dragoon 2hr, "Call Wyvern". Whilst through-out the video, you can spot the odd player wearing ToAU gear (Turban, Goliard Legs), no jobs or abilities (this includes the Tier2 Merit categories) can be seen, or used. **

After watching the video 5 times over, and reading BG, this can be assertained:
    - Baraero is used through-out.
    - Other than 1 nubby Blm nuke when Ice>Lightninsday occurs, all nukes correspond to the day.
    - When Absolute Virtue uses his 2hr, other players fire off their 2hrs as well. The first is Soul Voice, and then the Pld, Blm, Whm, Whm, Blm, Sam, Drg (Call Wyvern), Whm, Smn, Blm, Brd, Brd, Drk, Rdm, and Brd all use their 2hrs... That's 15 2hrs going off at the same time. BG thinks that this is to "lock" the use of that 2hr again, or further spam/use it for a while, however it doesn't stop AV using Virelai. :/
    - Absolute Virtue uses Chainspell, the Brd, Rdm and Blm use their 2hrs.
Now, before going any further, I gotta say that this Video is HIGHLY edited, and what we see is perhaps indeed only a glimpse of what using our 2hrs does. The first 2hr (Soul Voice) is used on Lightninsday at 6am-ish, and one of the Blms uses Manafont. The second 2hr (Chainspell) is used on Lightninsday at 5am-ish, and the same Blm uses Manafont. Either this is edited, they fought it for 8 hours, or a playing using their 2hr corresponding to what AV uses does something... Shot in the dark... However, not once did it use Meteor (nor, for that matter, Manafont)
    - Fast forward to Iceday, and AV uses call Wyvern. a Rdm/Thf casts Diaga on the Wynavs, hits Flee, and kites them away; meanwhile, Blm (same Blm as before), Pld, Smn, Drg, Rdm, Brd, Blm use their 2hrs.
    - They fight AV where he pops. No-one, in 5 pages of this quick developing thread on BG, noticed that the 3 Aerns where he spawns are not up... Either they are killed, or they erased them from the game for the Video.
    - They use Pld/Nins to tank, and have a querky selection of gear.
    - They have 25+ people (at least this much is assertained from the last picture of them all applauding themselves.

Make of it what you will... Perhaps this is a fight of 3 AVs before fought, edited together. Or, they really did take nearly an entire day to kill it. No Corsairs were present, so their 2hrs could not have been reset via that, so could using a 2hr corresponding to AVs 2hr lock him some way? Who knows... Stay tuned to the BG thread for moar!

I watched it, several times, the only thing I can really see is them nuking the element based on the day, and using what seemed to be completly random 2 hours after av 2 hours.

Ok, wtf, how many 2hrs can they all spam without using cors?

Edit: Video sucks, they were using GM's invincible hax, because no one died to aeroga IV.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I don't trust this video if GMs did it, they can easily cheat. This fight would've taken hours upon hours to finish.

Show me an above average linkshell kill it, then I'll believe it.

The trick seems rather obvious to me.

It's use lots of melee RDM with a staff.

Bear in mind that there are 4 different versions of the video released (English, Japanese, French, and Hitl, I mean, German) and all 4 show different aspects of the AV fight using different 2hrs (some are mirrored into each others though). If you fit all 4 versions together, you actually get a fight that lasts roughly 1 hour, multi-edited through different versions, of course.

:)

4. Iceday 16:55, Meikyo Shisui (from Japanese Video, part 2 and German VIdeo, Part 3)
player 2hrs used: blm, brd, blm, sam, drg, brd, smn, rdm, drk, brd

5. Lightningsday 5:07 Chainspell (from English Video, part 2 and French video, part 3)
player 2hrs used: blm, brd, rdm, brd

player 2hrs used: pld, blm, whm, blm, sam, drg, whm, smn, blm, blm, brd, drk, rdm, brd, brd

7. Lightningsday 8:55 Astral Flow (from French Video, part 1 and German Video, part 1)
player 2hrs used: blm, blm, blm, brd, rdm, brd, blm, drg, smn, whm, rdm, drk

Still doesn't make sense how they can all use multiple 2horus on the same game day since AV was released before COR 2hour... unless it's 24 hours later!

:wtf:

I always knew Amy would take over my position as rdm tank. I planted the seed of curiosity into Amy's head over time. Watkins always rejected jokingly, Lutia wouldn't hear my words. Amy was like as of a sponge. The force is great with this one.

If only safer would vanish forever so I could use his RDM tank whenever I pleased... (or maybe I should change his PW :bll: )
