Tanking Delta

RB Delta is pretty easy after getting use to it. As for my first try, it was straightforward, just be cautious at all times.

Bring a gold HP charm, Vacuity Pots for anti-movement/stun debuffs (Take 10 to be safe.), and event pots.

A Barb's job is to gather the mobs into a group and takes them to the aoe party. Usually it consists of us waiting for the mobs to come, we invoke right when they come, run out to gather them, make them cluster, and then drag them back.

Waves 1 and 2 are straightforward, except 1 part of Wave 1 has sleep mobs, I recommend using a Vac pot there for safety. Wave 2 is purely easy.

Wave 3 determines if your squad is ready for a full RB Delta run. The stun mobs can kill a party easy. So you invoke, use a Vac pot, gather the mobs and Holy Path so they aggro on you then run back to group. That's how I usually do it. The stun mobs arrive at the last 2 parts of Wave 3

Waves 4-8 is straightforward and easy for the most part, just be cautious at all times.

Wave 9 is hard and annoying, be ready to tick alot here. Its similar to Wave 3, Vac Pot and gather, and run back. Take as much aggro as you can while the DDs kill.

The final boss aoe-purges and aoes alot. We usually rebuff if we can fast, be careful, it can hit hard.

As for bosses, sometimes you will be asked to drag it away in case the previous wave is not dead. Trust your BM and aggro the boss and run around until the wave is dead, then drag back.

Good Genie moves are Cloud Eruption, Alpha Male, ToP, Absolute Domain, Holy Path.

That all I can think of for RB Delta, goodluck on your run. :]

Also, if you feel safe to do so, time Armageddon with a BM's HF for very nice damage.b:surrender

After reading all this, Delta seems quite easy or at least simple. I think I need to max my sunder, `cept that I guess I`m ready(14,5k hp in tiggy), got maxed arma, surf, slam(kinda pointless, yeah) and pretty much everyone =p. With any luck I got demon true form before I try, you`d think that helps with aggro and that small speed increase is kewl. Reason why I haven`t maxed sunder is the 2 spark needed and I kinda leveled my aoes heavily on 9x for TW, there arma is usually better choice than Sunder due reason I dun pull catas and well, I got GX.

But how hard does mobs hit? Cause some ppl invoke before they get inside BB in FC, which I kinda see pointless, at least I invoke inside BB(Cleric never gets hit). So is it actually necessary to invoke before gathering or is it just the way some ppl run it?

When it comes to invoke, Fuzzy usually do that when deep inside the valley gathering up each wave...

Run ahed, agro the wave, stop, invoke, then alpha if they spread out a bit, if not frighten. Then hot-foot it back to the zen party, roar, sunder etc etc etc... rinse and redo as each wave roll in. Toss in the vac pots when needed you should be golden.

you don't really need to do that each wave, you will just need to do it with the magic mobs

So tomorrow I'm planning to do a delta to get my second past map.


Never done a delta before, I've got 15.4k hp in true form so I figure that should be enough. Most skills are maxed save the useless ones like garrote and firestorm.



So what should I bring for the delta and what do I need to do? b:surrender

I tried delta with some frnds in faction...it took us like 15 min just to figure out how to start and go in xD..we survived the first 2 waves ..I wasn't charmed and had no trouble in first 2 waves just used some pots nad HP event pots...kept using bestial rage to regain my sparks back quickly..but no idea what happend @ 3rd wave a huge boss appear and killed the harpy looking like boss behind us Q_Q

but u should bring a charm since I've been told it will get harder and harder Q_Q
