Mission - 5.1 LICH FIGHT { Do you need it? } Level 50 CappedFollow

Looking for smart heady players that understand one simple fact kill the lich as fast as possible ignore the minions.

Really could use a MONK or 2.

Tips
Please have the MISSION started ensure you have the new Feiyin seal:

If your a BLM and want to go NUKE for gods sake use MANAFRONT.

Paladin please use invinciple/cover to keep BLM from dieing fast after Manafonting and best weapon skill not circle weak a$$ blade.

Wars Mighty Strikes before Weapon skill

RDM Chainspell

Monks Hunderd Fists

I really like to get this one out of the way ASAP.....

I am interested in doing 5-1. I am a paladin. {Please invite me.}

Kenyshyn. I would like to do this mission as well. I can join as either 53 thf/nin or 50 rng/nin. Let me know when and where and if there is room.

hehehe Dork. leave it to choky to be an idiot. but he got a rate up from me for it! *rolls eyes at boky*

Still need to do this and hoping to get some serious damage dealers to Lich.

Very cool maybe after the maintence we can form a crew to roll thru this one....

If I see him on tonight I will do bro....

Well, in everyday use you will almost never use your 2-hour. It's generally only for planned situations and emergencies. I'll give you a few examples of those though.

Last week I was helping open Banishing Gates in Garlaige Citadel. I (like the horrible n00b that I am) made the dumb mistake of recasting sneak right next to an Over Weapon. It promptly aggrod me and started taking 150 point chunks out of my HP. I trained it back into the tunnel so it wouldn't attack the rest of my party, and did Chainspell > Cure IV > Cure IV > Warp. Instant escape, no deaths.

When you're a much higher level (58+) you will start to become relied on as the parties quick exit. If you've ever seen a Black Mage cast Escape, you know it takes forever. A Red Mage with Chainspell and a Blm sub can cast Escape instantly.

It's also a great way to close out a Chain 5. Say you just finish off Chain 4 and your puller grabs another mob. If you don't think you can make it within the time limit, try Chainspell nuking it to death.

In this case (the Rank 5-1 mission) there are really two ways Chainspell can be used to finish the mission. First, I can use Chainspell to turn me into a nuke machine gun, burning all of my MP to cause fast damage. Second, I can take on the role of tank. As the "escort skeletons" spawn, I grab their attention and then use Chainspell to keep Stoneskin, Blink, and Phalanx up constantly. It's not something you can do for long, but Chainspell + Stoneskin is basically Invincible. Similarly, Chainspell + Blink = Perfect Dodge.

Hope all that nonsense helped.
