Apocalypse Nigh

Tonight was our little mountain climbing static's night to try to wrap up with Apocalypse Nigh. Not to give spoilers to anyone who may care, but this ties together two gigantic story arcs (easily more than 75% of the game's story content) into one big final showdown, and as such, a lot of characters make a reappearance. We had seven people that wanted to go, and only 6 slots, so we were going to try to make two runs of it.

Besides being a little bit LOL, in all fairness, the first attempt went rather smoothly. Modo, Crunkinator, Trumpy, Kactuar, Michaelino and myself all went in as Keri and Vudian waited for round 2. Modo was SAM/RNG, and never really engaged the enemy, instead opting to rely completely on ranged attacks. -.-; I don't think he even brought a sword. Many deaths were had, but somehow we squeaked out a win.

We replaced Modo with Vudian and Kactuar with Keri for the second run, and it didn't go so well. We just didn't have enough damage and ended up wiping on our first attempt. Vudian tried to restore our 2hrs with his COR's, but didn't get the right roll. Breg ditched what he was doing and came all the way out with his Lv1 COR and was able to get ours back, but we ended up wiping a second time. 1/3 ; ; I think we're gonna bring a different mix of jobs next time: we simply need more damage if we're gonna get the win for Keri and Vudian. I logged off just outside of Norg so I can claim my earring tomorrow evening.

Dynamis - Windurst tomorrow, but if it gets cancelled like last time, we'll likely be manaburning. The urge to finish the big push to 75BLM is calling loud and clear.
