It seemed a little rocky when we were gathering together. Many of the Hornie members canceled their RSVP to this event (it was Easter weekend after all….we did not factor that in in our planning). But those of us that were there were determined. And with the help of some of the Hornie Peeps, we were able to snag in a PLD – a key to our success without a doubt. We also had a RDM and a WHM, and of course our resident Treasure Hunter Monkey. All other attendees were SMN.

I hate to say that we overestimated this mob but it surely felt that way. We were using a different strategy than most linkshells would have the luxury to do. But the concept was the same. PLD holds him down, everyone else rape the mob. And oh, was it a rape fest! Each wave of bloodpacts would shave off 15-25% of the mobs HP. And without any extra melee going on, we never saw more than a handful of that nasty AOE that everyone fears. We were even able to summon + assault from outside of the AOE range. I believe that as long as there is a PLD (or other proper meatshield) to hold Vulpangue down, a small amount of Summoners and a healer for the PLD can take Vulpangue without any issues.

Out of 5 pops, 2 Karura Hachigane’s dropped, and maybe 3-4 Sylphid Epee’s.

I believe we’ll be trying again next week.
