Wiped to a nidhogg that hardly used wings? No it used more than one wing every 5 min andthere's no safe place to hide from wing damage when weakened, so naturally more and more people died and raised with nowhere to hide just to eat a wing after 3 min. Nobody could unweaken and we had 2 tanks down.Bob even told Berr that he had never seen nid use so many wings in a single fight. When ON fought him it used A LOT LESS wings.
Again, Nidhogg is a complete joke,
even if he is "spamming" wings like he said (which by the way, for you, he wasn't). As I've said, we've dealt with 45+ Wing spamming Nidhoggs before and we handled it just fine with a single alliance of people present, we didn't need a literal army of people to throw at it.
All I keep hearing are excuses. I'm not here to heckle you like others are, I'm just pointing out that noone really cares what your so-called "reasons" are for wiping. Fact of the matter is, you wiped because you couldn't handle it, and it's not because the mob was difficult. Learn from it, and move on.
As for the SSJ screenshot of hitting someone non-critical for 764, let me ask you a question. What job was that person being hit? Actually, scratch that, I've seen even a PLD get hit that hard if Nidhogg happened to use Horrid Roar just beforehand, wiping food + defender + protect
and he is in 2hr mode.
You know Nidhogg's 2hr mode right? Ever notice when someone is fighting him, occasionally he'll put his wings up and leave them up? It's not really Mighty Strikes, but more of a massive Attack/Def/MDB/MAB boost for him.
It's got nothing to do with SSJ mode or anything, he just does that much damage when his wings are up, and his Hurricane Wing damage during that time increases too.

THAT nid was SSJ. Under SSJ mobs have insane MDB, those nukes were probably doing single digits or 0.
That Nidhogg wasn't that long under SSJ, maybe 5-8 minutes
tops. SSJ mode isn't instantaneous, it takes some time to build up after the 1 hour grace period. Within 10-12 minutes after SSJ mode, Nidhogg is still very killable with a decent volley of nukes. After that point however, he'll become insanely resistant to nukes/deal more damage of course, but that's not really a very good excuse in this case.

Gee I remember SpikeFLail holding Hydra for 18+ hours trying to figure out how to kill it.
See there's a massive difference between those two, although
I'm not making fun of anyone who takes any amount of time to kill something, you killed it, that's certainly a notch under the belt.
It wasn't 18 hours, it was 10. And I'd daresay what we did was be one of the first LS's to figure out how that mob worked, something that I'm 100% confident you aren't even remotely capable of doing, so don't even go there. Considering that we were also the first LS on this server to take down both Cerberus and Khimaira as soon as they popped the first time, you're pretty much off your rocker.
