Megid + NPC = No S Rank

[Eliash]

It seems that having any NPC's on the newer missions with any monster that casts Megid is not a good idea for S-rank. Doing both new missions in Parum Rank C my Partner NPC (53) died 3 times, and my PM (60) died once. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

If you play 'solo' in these missions and care about rank, you may want to boot them from the party when you encounter monsters with megid.

Also those guys have lots of HP even at rank C, then again I'm just leveling up force and I suck at it so that may be why...

Megid + your average universe 1 player = No S rank.

Ranger Player + Ranger PM = Safety from Megid evil

[Eliash]

lol I usually play solo so I don't know too much about that. But I do know that I = horrible at dodging it. For some reason they wait until I try to cast before hitting me with 4 of them! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

I just snipe the megid guys with my bow, they take half damage from melee and techs so its just as fast that way

[Eliash]

Hmm... I may try that later on, but for now going to try and level up my force job. (Although I don't know why as I don't plan to use it lol)

The thing is, Megid is a linear attack. In a group of people, you should be able to kill them without taking a hit. In theory anyways. In practice... Bloodlust takes over.

um or just make dark resist armor, I was in Parum B doing that mission and I got hit liek 30 times with megid and I never died. and I had Zeetline with 21% dark resist.

I thought they wouldn't spit Megid if I was right upclose.

I was wrong http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif I did that in C-Rank, there wasn't many of the Megid guys though, heh.

I was talking about the NPC's dying, it's not so much of an issue if a player dies because they can use a scape doll.

i wished the NPCs used monomate like they did in PSO because i lost so many S ranks because of them getting beat up with everything and megid. i remeber doing story mode and that big megid shooting monster took Lou out with one blast and then me after Ethan after 5 tries.

It might depend on the NPC you're using. Lou often dies from Megid it seems to me. I use Laya Martinez instead, and have yet to see her die from an S-Rank megid. My PM also seems to be immune to megid. Could just be luck tho.
