Talk:Wreaker

Welcome to one of the hardest bosses early on. If you easily defeated this, first off gratz, please SHARE your testimony below with party composition and how the fight went for you guys. Consider yourself a hero for even attempting CoP!

=======================Do's=======================

1. Put your ego aside and spend the 50k.
2. Bring holy waters(a stack each),
3. Bring Poison potions(a stack each),
4. Bring Hystero anima(1 each),
5. Bring Psycho anima(1 each), (toss that terro in the trash where it belong)
6. Bring Yag drinks(5 for the entire fight),
7. Consider an Vile Elixir.
8. Consider you can win this in 6 minutes with FLAWLESS execution(which wont happen).
9. This with any combination of jobs even pet burn*(see below)
10. Save your animas until 30-50% when it really matters
11. Bring reraise(obviously)
12. Consider doing a 100% dry run to see how it goes, no animas no two-hours. Even if you get close to winning and it just starts running around mercing members it is better to learn and exit then to reclimb due to having to resupply. No EXP loss on death and the healer can easily exit ONCE everyone understands. The dry run will help everybody understand Shadow Spread and Trinary Absorption are very powerful abilities and it can be helpful to be familiar with them before using animas to understand why it is necessary.

=======================Don'ts=======================

1. run into this blind
2. FAFO
3. F^$@ it, we ball
4. senselessly bring all BSTs
5. senselessly bring all smns
6. go without animas
7. go without poison potions
8. burn your animas without DPS

*I would suggest you use animas after 30% once it starts using Trinary Absorption else you have 6 minutes to perfected defeat boss(which wont happen). Perhaps having heavy DD will help the most but still this mob has a very strong kit:

• (!!!!)Trinary Absorption: Absorbs a LARGE amount of HP (~200-300) from a single target; cannot be blocked with Third Eye, but UTSUSEMI will absorb it. Spams at around 30%; you MUST have Hysteroanima to counter this.
  
• (!!!)Shadow Spread: Sleepga/Cursega/Blindga
  
• (!!)Stygian Vapor: Short range AoE Plague.
  
• (!)Negative Whirl: Medium-high AoE damage plus Slow, strips shadows.
  
• (!)Winds of Promyvion: Erases a single debuff from itself
  
• (!)Trinary Tap: Absorbs up to 3 buffs from a single target
  

=======================Final Thought=======================

If the mob is down very low, one strat is for the "tank" to provoke and kite the mob while everyone else throws the kitchen sink at it. The mob will use absorb and keep itself alive. If you enjoy challenging encounters, here it is.

Good luck <3
