Divine Might/Strategies

Battle Description

• Enemies are 5 Ark Angels + pets, most of which cannot be slept.
• Each Ark Angel has two 2hr abilities, and they can use some of them more than once (for example, Mighty Strikes can be used multiple times).
• You have 30 minutes to defeat all of the enemies.
  • Time is a huge factor in this battle.
  • Make sure everyone has reraises, to minimize heal time after wipe.
  • After party wipes, do not reraise until remaining ark angels return to the arena.
• There’s always someone who asks about EXP loss…. So please note: DM is a quest, not a Zilart mission, and thus, deaths result in EXP loss.

• Ark Angel TT (BLM/DRK)
  • Uses Manafont once, and Blood Weapon multiple times.
  • Uses AOE Petrify.
  • Teleports around the arena at random, making it difficult to melee him.

• Ark Angel MR (BST/THF)
  • Uses Havoc Spiral (AoE Sleep&Gravity weapon skill).
  • Uses Perfect Dodge once.
  • Uses Familiar at will (if her pet is alive).
  • Starts out with a pet, and she can Charm party members, regardless of if she still has a pet or not, though chances increase if the pet dies before her.
  • Summonable pet types include Mandragora, and Tiger. The Mandragora pet is extremely dangerous and can cause a wipe with Dream Flower.

• Ark Angel GK (DRG/SAM)
  • Has one pet (a Wyvern) which can be slept.
  • Uses Meikyo Shisui after about 75% health and will use it multiple times.
  • Will attempt to do a self-Light skillchain after every use of Meikyo Shisui. The weapon skills can be blinked to interrupt the SC.
  • Susceptible to Gravity.

• Ark Angel EV (PLD/WHM)
  • Uses Benediction once.
  • uses Invincible at will.
  • Has an AoE Dispel move.
  • Has Shield Bash, which can make kiting difficult.
  • Will use Spirits Within, which can one-shot whoever has hate at the time.
  • Very susceptible to both Bind and Gravity, provided she does not have any shadows up.
  • Uses Dominion Slash, with AoE damage and added silence effect.

• Ark Angel HM (WAR/NIN)
  • Uses Mighty Strikes at will.
  • May use Mijin Gakure once.
  • Susceptible to Bind and Gravity, but ensure that he does not have any shadows up.
