Best team for farming Sidi?

[curou]

Need some help about forming the best team for Sidi farming.

We are 4 or 5 ppl + 1 bb

What classes are needed for beeing able to farm Sidi?

Thanks in advance

#1 tank
pbt theurg purge mcl
pala mob5 FH purge
pala mob3+ FH purge
cleric bof purge mcl
merc
buffbot with sorcbot or smth

theurg needs power pots
so does cleric
everyone sc'd and pretty much capped

#2 focus
focus caba sc'd with good ra's
High rejuv cleric with bof purge mcl
high rejuv cleric with bof purge mcl
pbt theurg purge mcl
minst with 50 instru

Uberly buffed caba pet etc :x

 

[ilum]

My idea for FG sidi raid (will be even better 1.65)

Paladin
Paladin
Paladin
Paladin
Paladin
Cleric
Theurgist
Necromancer

Out of group buffbot / powertap bot.

(constant powertapping means theurgist is constantly casting pets, with upgraded pets in 1.65 and having 60 earth pets on mobs constantly or something, it should mean good dmg)

Paladins pwn, mercs arent needed

 

[old.mattshanes]

Me solo xD

On a serious note, what ilum said but have only 3 palas maybe and 2 mercs or you will be there ages xD

You don't need purge in sidi.
Nor do you want pbt for focus killing either.

Why palas? MA = pala, guarder = armsman.

If you're 5, focus is the only way for farming bosses, without spending 5 hours on a mob that is.

Paladins will never dish out enough damage for that group to be worthwhile..

Dual Shadows owns in sidi oO

 

[ilum]

Merc dmg >>> Pala dmg
Pala defense >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Merc defense

Earth pets can do the dmg

 

[Yussef]

You don't need defense in Sidi, Pala/Arms enough, then bulk up the DPS with proper classes.

 

[Bleam]

doesn't pbt wwork on the caba pet?

 

[Yussef]

Why would you use PBT on a pet you focus with anyway? Oo

You'd want the pet to get hit though. ;o

Edit:fu Yussef,faster than me.

Why do you want pbt to work on caba pet? The idea is to get mobs to hit the pet so it can reflect the dmg.

But afaik pbt doesnt work on pets.

 

[SoulFly Amarok]

Pbt goes to every member of your group, just like speedsong.

You can test it by grouping a theurgist and a cabalist, just make pet and pop pbt on

 

[Huntingtons]

friars imo!

Mercs chance to hit a sidi mob>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>pala

Is why they are also needed.

when 60 earth pets hit the mob i daresay their defense drops pretty low honestly i think ppl should try strong pala grps, right flesh?

Give me a call in 1.65 if you fancy trying that, 6sec PBT and MCL2 plus a 50enh MoA4 BB.

tbh reavers dmg in sidi is uber

 

[old.Bubble]

1 cabbie spec 50 matter
2 clerics able to heal
1 Buffbot
1 Minstrel with 50 instr

Best farming team


All Melee teams will be bigger than 5
through a FG would be nice
1 Paladin
1 Armsman
3 Mercs
1 Cleric
1 Minstrel
1 Theugist

Maybe sub a Merc for a Reaver or Friar(if you don't have a buffbot)

Except thats gimped soon, with the Focus shield changes its doubtful that it would keep agro enough thus clerics would get agro and grp wipeout.

 

[old.mattshanes]

When we went sidi with my theurg, when loe and sotl raided, we had a spirit caba debuffing damage and it was insane like 50% of my damage cap, but then again where will you find a spirit caba these days :/

 

[old.windforce]

i find 2 merc + 2 palas best tank combo

add 1 x pbt bot (sorry cho) 1 x 50 inst mincer bot and 1 good rejuv cleric and buffbot

merc put intercept on aggro pala and do sidi with 5 playing ppl

The clerics wont get agro as theyre healing a pet. Hence focus working so well.

Focus will still work, just be damn slow. Currently best grp would be

Caba
Rejuv cleric
rejuv cleric
rejuv cleric
enhance cleric
necro
pala
mincer

Wish id video'd host dieing that time Took ~7seconds. But there are ofc a few focus immune mobs in sidi. Which they are i'll leave you to find out

 

[Yussef]

You do get aggro from healing pets, HoT may be enough for next patch with the odd heal.

 

[Xeanor]

no alb class has a HoT for the pet tho

 

[bigchief]

gimp spec friar?

 

[SoulFly Amarok]

44 rej friar for last hot

 

[ilum]

i'd assume group hot wouldnt heal a pet

 

[Yussef]

Speed is group based and it works on pets ;o

 

[Xeanor]

the group HoT isn't as good as a mentalist HoT, it costs shitloads of power, and we're not sure if it works on pets.

And no friar is gonna spec that.
