Incarn Wrote:if you mean the reflect or kaupe thing, it only tanks the first hit of EQ for you and no others; tested and proven, but i guess it could make a difference. just need neutral resists (all dem GRs!!11!) and it's probably reasonable.
anyway didn't fight, was sleeping like a boss. the map he spawns on is HUGE guys so even if the mvp gets to be easy-peasy he'd still take forever and a day to get to and kill; just a note for others :o
Naw, traditional way of dealing with valk's EQ when not reflect killing it was to have linkers on strandby to spam??that auto-ress skill. Nowadays, (assuming someone tanking or doing damage dies when auto-ress happens)that's probably cause for monsters to teleport.
My preferred tactic with MVPs with EQ is having a Wiz/Hwiz on standby doing nothing but spamming icewall to act as a damage sponge when something does do earthquake. I'm not sure how viable a solution that is against Orcus since I haven't seen or fought him yet, but??icewall damage sponge tactic can easily make the strongest EQ a joke spell, especially if there's a lot of icewalls out on the field when it's cast. (reasoning: Damage is devided by number of targets hit, each icewall adds like 4 or 5 targets to be hit, spreading out the damage that much more.)
I think if he's close enough, pulse strike will destroy the icewalls, and I know valk's LoV hurts ice wall, so I'm assuming Meteor does similar stuff.
