Thread: [Event 41] Raid Event vs Barong

since the boss is all about debuffs.... has anyone actually tried doing this boss WITHOUT any debuffs on her? sounds silly but... for SCIENCE!

> Barong
Cant wait to see all those dead raid lying around, and those aab Mord pleb

> without debuff

That's NG. EX is fine, but EX has crap hp so nobody cares. For Rags, firstly her 2-hit normal ability beam spam hits hard without any form of attack down. Secondly, since you're not really gonna be soloing, you can't stop ppl from debuffing her in a pug.

I know, cuz I've tried. Not fun.

this is the reason why i said you'll need at least some debuffing....

unless you're doing some absurd damage (like 50k+ per hit normally), you'll likely need some atk downs...

and if you are doing that much damage, then soloing shouldn't be an issue for you (i doubt guild order would be an issue for you...)

but for players like me that do 30k or less per hit with buffs and debuffs factored in, then yeah, we could have an issue with getting the right amount of debuffing, especially when you can't control others in a raid and there can be a lot of people in one....

Just leech through this raid event. Preferably with your union and friends. Its not a pleasant raid to farm on your own even with an established team (her rage gauge is fairly long.) I still rate Barong among the most annoying raid events myself, third after Amaru and Monoceros.

Gonna take notes on this one, lmoa.

Was Monoceros that annoying? I found myself having zero problem with her even on aab. Her damage is tickling at best, and her debuff is not really strong either

For us veterans shes easy (we just wan pan her during BT for fast orbs). But for those who cant, she makes fights long and annoying simply because you can't buff freely to speed it up (otherwise she dispels you + screw up your dmg/burst chain). Similar boss such as Yule Goat who debuffs your atk / DATA / drains burst. Annoying not necessary = hard. I'm sure many agrees that Amaterasu raid was annoying despite being straigtforwardly simple

so... i guess just ignore her abilities and go ahead with the debuffs? as long as we dont bring along mordred we will just fight thru the dmg.

Just starting out so I only have Mordred. Should I bring Cassiopeia instead?
Lv50 and only got sol who can do anything useful for this raid.
