So, Dvalinn...how difficult is he? I know he's more difficult/annoying than Durinn. Would a MNK with a WHM and RDM (and WAR for red) be able to trio him with relative ease? Just curious, planning on doing a Durinn spam for a couple +2s and if Durinn is just as easy to do with that trio as most other Abyssea NMs I'll gladly do Dvalinn for the single drop than Bukhis haha.

Also Ketea...what's his difficulty level? NIN/DNC and a WHM and RDM with BLM for proc be ok for him?

I've duoed Dvalinn, Durinn, and Ketea on mnk with a whm. Ketea is just annoying from the constant ice spikes, but all of them are easy. Dvalinn is extremely annoying if you don't know what to do. Read the wiki page and get a feel for fighting him.

What's the respawn for a Tier III NM like ketea anyways? and how high is the chance that your abyssite will break when you spawn it?

Respawn is about 20~ mins I believe. Abyssite will always break.

Don't know about dvalinn but soloing Keata would be an issue due to his ice spikes when his mouth is closed. I tryed a ways back (on nin) but couldn't keep up hp between the spikes, para and -gas. With any mage for cures you should be golden though.

Don't melee while mouth is closed? Stun gas like a boss?

Davalin I killed zombie style on non dncr he is not too bad if u have a healer. Ketea in my opinnion sux ***. You need high hp dd and a whm couldn't keep up on rdm myself until I got a brd to help then it was a joke. Ketea can not be stunned so u need mad buffs.

Ketea can be done NIN + mage, preferably WHM as the mage. Mage x2 works too. It is soloable but risky and you need to gryellow anyway so extreme lowmanning this NM doesn't make sense.

Can Ketea really drop 4 of that one +2 item? 3 is most I've seen everywhere else but someone put Up to 4 on it's Wiki Page.

Well magic heals it when closed and it only opens when it uses a tp move (and not 100% that it will open) which makes it difficult for most jobs to just not melee during spikes in a solo... blu might be able to do it as with rdm or blm kiteing and spaming dia or something to get it to tp but aside from that hes not a very solo friendly mob.

Actually I was thinking more along the lines of setting a regain atma and engaging just long enough to ws. Or spamming /nin nukes for crap dmg.

Not like I would solo it unless the only thing I wanted was the equip.

Note Ketea does NOT get TP from spells that heal it.
