Snarky Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Ach! Mein PUGs. Sooooo.... I joined 2 people in IP to take down Lusca. A few more were recruited. I think we got up to 7. We were not doing bad. Not fast. Couple deaths. Making progress. Get him down to two arms and we attack the head. By "we" I mean one other. Three attacked an arm. Teo stood around. I asked nicely, I explained. Nooooo, that arm was going down. And the next. Sooooo... Now we are on the head. I cannot resist. In team chat I say. "Little known fact, there is a seafood truck to the west you can kill before you kill the head as well." slight pause. "Is there a badge?" I cannot help myself. "Oh yeah, truck says Spanky's on it." THREE of these folks head to the west like Yomo's over there giving out billion inf prize sacks. Of course our DPS went to shit. I laugh, and then call them back. Damn. Does no one recognize sarcasm anymore? Has that what this world has come to? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InvaderStych Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Wait, Lusca can actually defeat players? 🤣 I don't think I've ever seen that happen. 1 "I woke up despite my head; To see the trail I blazed last night with the words I said; Still she laid there in the charred and smoking wake of fears I fed ... Then she got up to look around; Muttered words I’d never heard a human sound; Then from her hair grew forty serpents, from her eyes a fiery shroud... From her mouth came forty voices, and I heard them cry aloud: The Sun Won't Cast No Shadow Anymore! The Willows Never Weep and the Wind Will Never Moan!"

Yes, and very quickly if you're dumb enough to aggro multiple tentacles or just have bad RNG. Lusca actually hits like a truck when he hits at all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, the payoff for Lusca is already fewmets compared to the other GMs -- you're essentially defeating nine GMs for one 6-point merit reward -- so getting an extra 48k XP for the last two tentacles helps. I do have to admit that it was hilarious to watch half the team dash off after the 'food truck', though... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually made me wince to hear you talk about how important the experience was. the merits? meh. I only deal with giant monsters for badges. period. once in a great while i will join smashing adamastor for a few, but he is punctual and quick. But i pass that up 19 times before I am bored enough to trek to the far end of echo dark astoria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a special case for the character; I hadn't played her for a while, and I wanted to finish off a bar of experience before I put her back down. Also, the time it takes to finish off a tentacle helped me with internalizing a change to the rotation I'd been using to put Divine Avalanche solidly in the cycle, where I'd been badly underutilizing it previously because of its low damage; I was able to see the change in incoming damage when I inserted it on recharge as often as possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
