Eyes of the Krimson Beyond

Was in a party the other day with a level 64 tanker. Killed it just fine.

It's because he has a skill that brings a 6x wb from full hp to |-......................| (- being hp, . being lost hp) on their hp bar. If you use a 6x wb your gonna need 2 clerics spamming IB like crazy or 2 7x+ clerics.

I tanked it at 58 with 2 clerics. It's the barb's job to have high HP and high phys def, it's the clerics' jobs to keep him alive. As long as the barb has good equips and spams ripping bite, the rest is up to the clerics.

Krimson isn't impossible. What's funny is that every single person that I have ran into minus very few. Think all bosses must be done with a lvl 80 tank and cleric, lol. It's ridiculous.

I got a group together for Krimson all same level believe it or not. Though the tank was 65, but everyone else was 59-61. In the group had 1 tank, 1 cleric, 2 venos, and a wizard. It went very smoothly. Just have to have the right mindset. But I went to help another group and I had to leave early and was told it was Epic fail and it was the same exact group set up. I'm not sure how many times they tried.

I think if everyone thinks it is impossible it will be. If you have the right group and everyone is doing their part shouldn't have a problem. You have to figure out what the bosses weakness and who should be tanking. There is always a catch somewhere.

There is four people now that I do bosses with and they are all 60's. We have conquered every single boss together and just went from one to the other slaughtering. The tank is lvl 62, 2 veno's 59-62, cleric and a wizard as I said before. I'm sure they know who they are if they read the boards lol. We haven't done mantavip yet, but we are going to do it soon. I'll let you know how that goes. b:victory

From what I have seen, it is not that he loses aggro in the middle, it is that he will turn and run along the ridge. But, this seems to be the source of a lot of the worst failures (even when a group knows they need to be countering his de-buff). First, if you have all the healers and damage dealers behind him to avoid his AOE, at this point he runs right into them and looks like he has taken aggro on one of them. Second, since the ridge top is narrow, the tank can have a hard time catching up to Krimson and can indeed lose aggro at this point - particularly if he falls off the ridge. Finally, if the tank manages to chase Krimson down, the AOE attack will now be right through the support team unless they have repositioned (which can distract them from heals and purifies).

Sigh. Krimson has a skill which lowers your PHYSICAL DEFENSE. It means, that you will need to be healed as normally in tanking AND purified with a decent level purify.

Yes, so? Any Cleric worth their salt can heal and spam Purify at the same time. And you won't go after Krimson without at least 2 Clerics usually, so that's not really a problem. As for the Purify having to be high level: errrm.. no. I am fairly certain mine was only lowest level when we killed Krimson (and we did multiple times btw.). You can interchange Purify with the other healer, so it's getting spammed lots despite the slower recharge. That's what we did. All I can say is that is was obviously good enough to kill that guy.

In general that's much in line with what Larkel said above. People in PW seem to be obsessed with the idea that you can do every minor thing only with super high levels. I see sooo many party requests for bosses or FBs where people look for players with ridiculously high levels. I am still waiting to see the first "Looking for Level 70+ tank to kill Florafang" message....

Did krimson back when i was 61, with a squad 59-62.
Yes we had 2 healers, one used bubble, another purified.

But few levels later, done him again with only 1 healer, first attempt was bad, second was perfect. All you have to do is pay attention on his casting animation (use F9 and zoom in), and when he starts his debuff animation, hit purify key.

Later on you will do a boss that hits twice as harder and has a lot more hp, so taking practice on this will be necessary.

As everyone has said, Krimson isn't as bad as most people make him out to be... The ONLY thing that makes him hard at all is his debuff that lowers the tanks Physical Defence to pretty much nothing and will kill him in a few hits even with ironheart stacked... Anyone that goes after him needs a few clerics thats can coordinate their purtify to hit at opposite times or else get a few that have a high lvl purify... Nothing about purify changes as the lvl goes up except the recharge time gets shorter with each lvl... Thats the only thing, make sure you have clerics you can trust to not spazz out w/ having to do more than one thing at a time...haha b:victory

Is krimson harder then Juwel? Both bosses it is hardly impossible to find help, and I hear about both bosses they are the hardest in game (exept world/fb bosses). And are they harder then Mantavip? Also a badass... Let's ask the question simpeler: What is the hardest boss in the game if you dont count world/fb bosses?

I think if a lvl 40 face a lvl 60 boss... it will be difficult...
Same goes for a lvl 80 facing a lvl 100 boss... it will be difficult too...

So conclusion, there's no hardest boss... It depend on the tactics and team with you... Boss at your own level can or lvl 10-20 higher can be killed... Only how long it will takes... and how much HP/MP it will cost...=)

From my lvl so far, I think Krimson is the hardest compared to Empyrean Sliter which is lvl 70 (And Krimson is 60)... Of course, I have not tried other Boss like what 'king kong' or whatever... But since Krimson can be use in the cube... i think, its' a difficult boss...

omg lolb:laugh
