  Today was my best run, and the better is that was with a random party without requeriments, no "lv 70 only", no "12K att/matt only" no " 3+ bar connection only". Was 1 sword lann, 1 karok, 1 sycthe evie and 5 staff evies (im a staff evie). We finish more faster than a lot of runs with all of this elitist requeriments, this is called player skill

  Had one of those today, and only one person used first transformation. Of course, the boat leader also actively kicked anyone with under 12K attack.

  
  
  That was the title of the party I was in, I'm lucky my new swords put my attack slightly over 13 :3

  Not that impressive when you have 6 evie's that can chain rez each other, amber every attack, drop chain coronas, and still do solid damage (plus incidental damage with pistol which also acts as another combatant to draw Glas away from raid focus). This is why in Ep 9 Evie is king while everyone else is pushing out the wazoo to get ATT up enough to go through boss DEF.

  Maybe the 5 staff evies all have very high mattk, because when I do it I always do ****ty damage with staff. Maybe I just don't know how to do it? Firebolt is hard to pull off with its range and speed, ice blast has ****ty damage, ice spear misses those small feets all the time, blind arrow always have about half of the bolts miss or takes too long and have you killed. Only magic arrow hits more consistently. What am I doing wrong? I want to improve so bad, right now I always rank 6-8 in Glas with less than 10% damage. I guess I can improve my mattk which is at 11.8k now.

  Staff evies shine in Glas. With a clean Dreamwalker staff I have 11.3k magic atk, while my guildies's fionas have over 13k atk, yet I still come out first in DPS with 20% damage.

  Tips please? What do you do in the battle? Do you cycle through all the spells or do you just use one or two?
  
  I just have so much problem hitting him while not getting hit. Do you get close and person to Glas or do you just do hit and run?

  No wonder they always make those "lvl 70+ No lann or karok" parties :/ Well, what are we lanns and karoks supposed to do?

  At the moment, it seems near impossible to defeat him (unless you have xxx Goddess Graces (P)) T.T He spams his AoE move constantly throughout the battle. (I swear the bolts are programmed to follow you or something..) With Titan I can just blink through his legs but whenever I finally get behind Glas he does that AoE move and KOs me and nearby teammates. I just don't like seeing an uncompleted main story quest :(
  
  ... LF>that glitch @.@

  
  Uhm, I can easily blink through his AoE move. All characters can dodge all of his attacks. What I do is blade shift to his legs after dodging his AoE. It's a good opening to land a quake or any other combo, if you manage to.

  Staff Evie actually isn't the best class for Glas. Keep in mind that:
  
  Glas has enough range to hit an Evie even if Evie is as far as a Blind Arrow can hit.
  The lock-on for Evie Focus spells is piss poor (try hitting Glas with a Blind Arrow).
  Staff Evies constantly need to keep 40 stamina in reserve for Mana Amber, and hopping isn't really that good for dodging anything (unlike for other raid bosses).
  Many of Glas' attacks are multi-hit which will reduce the effectiveness of Mana Amber.
  Healing Corona has massive cooldown and you should only need 2 Evies to cover an 8-man raid.
  
  Technically, sword Lann is actually the best character against Glas since all of his hits are fast so Slip Dash works wonders, and allows him to avoid the grab easily too. But again, takes more skill to use the sword Lann than pewpew staff Evies as usual.
  
  Honestly, I can out-damage mostly all of the staff Evies in my guild as a hammer Fiona even when I'm only spamming LR, maybe LRR, half the time. And actually, having more Evies (scythe ones as well), just increases my damage since if they decide to chain Reverse Gravity, that gives me time to pull out Slashing High spin2win which out damages both staff and scythe Evie's options.

  True. It's just not easy to keep up with the damage. If you can do good damage with a staff in this battle, please teach me.

  Just solo'd with a level 7 Evie, nbd.

  ... Suprised Ludus Magnus couldn't kill him in 10 minutes or less. I'm serious.
• kikyou wrote on 2011-08-08 04:23
  For who that asked for tips, in my 10 minutes run, the sword lann stayed at ballista, and the others getting the divine spears at 2nd floor constantly, after the 6 evies get full sp bar we did reverse gravity rotation, me and the others staff evies used magic arrow behind him. The surprise was the team work, because we didnt say anything on the chat and we did all perfectly. I was with +6 rakum rakish (12.2 Matt) instead of my Dreamwalker (11.9 Matt), i think that this didnt make much difference.

  I think people are starting to understand how to do speed runs, I actually got one in today during the odd times vind was up

  It's in no way 'player skill'. You had 5 staff Evies and someone on balliste. If the group I had did that, we'd have finished in under 10 due to superior damage output.
  
  In short, nothing from Ep 8. onward is due to 'player skill' anymore. No matter the boss, the person with the highest def/atk combo can reach the top of the leaderboard by being absolutely stupid. I've done this on purpose a couple of times in groups I knew had lower att then I did. Died 5-6 times and still pulled 30-40% depending on the boss.
  
  The thing is, that makes me sad. Gone are the days I could post up odd solo videos for fun because I gained a little skill with a boss.
