Blu was my first 75 and my first fight. It took me 3 tries to beat raubahn and I had "decent" gear for a new level 70 and even used script macros at that point. I had capped blue magic, sword and eva skill and went in as prepared as I could be with how little I knew about the game at that point and while I didn't do terrible, he just raped me the first two times and the third I only barely lived. He's a douche and has a ton of things that can screw you up. It'd be much easier now with new gear, spells and other things available but back in the day, I was proud I was able to do it ^^;

I remember Frost Breath being the best thing ever for the Raubahn fight when I did it

I think I did the Frost Breath thing but at the time, I was really bad at thinking outside of the box.
Wish I could go do it at 70 again actually.

Silly question since I'm a bit confused about the mythic aftermath (it doesn't stack with regular da/ta/qa?)
would you use an uther's grip with conqueror at any time?

KJ doesn't have a strong STR mod and Upheaval's mod is VIT. DA procs are still a net average gain, so while DA doesn't add much to AM3 it at least doesn't hurt it. Duplus or Rose would probably still be your best bet.

Thanks for the response, wasn't sure since i just bumped into a mythic conqueror with some weird stuff (regain earring vassal's uther's) and wasn't too sure since mythics are different.

For SMN, is it safe to assume Caller's Pigaches +2 would be a better source of pet macc than Morana's Pigaches for Sleepga/Diamond Dust on Shiva? I couldn't find any numbers on the amount of macc given.

I don't think there's any solid number out there for either piece, but I personally doubt Morana's would have a higher macc boost that's worth the inventory space -1

You also have rubeus boots to consider over +2 caller pigaches which is a static 10 over capped smn skill. Also I think it's safe to toss morgana because you want rubeus for ward/interrupt/post PD changes/,etc. aand pigaches for perp/siphion.

Halp please. :<

How easy is it to solo Divine Might on BST at 99?

How easy is it to solo Divine Might on BST at 99? Simple. Drag them out of the arena to avoid the taru, stand back, and reward/mulsum when needed. You want the elvaan dead first (or at least get her to benediction) so you'll end up spamming the fight command to keep your pet on her. After the elvaan, order doesn't matter other than killing the taru last. Either evasion pet will work well.

Thanks, I'll give this a try tomorrow. It won't be a true solo, will probably have my wife on PUP with Valoredge... nice thing about that is it'll stick to one target.

Duo will make it practically foolproof. Have her peel off the elvaan and fight it away from the others so they don't get benediction.

When BGwiki says:
"All automaton weapon skills and offensive abilities are considered the same weakness."
Does that count spells and attachment stuff like voke/flash?

That would be a yes then though I've never been to vw as pup (I've never been asked to, imagine that) so I can't say firsthand.
