World Serpent Slayer

So on Friday night I had my company Christmas party. The outcome wasn't the best for me as after 15-20 or so drinks I ended up blacking out and saying a brief hello to the sidewalk. But after a brief recuperation on Saturday where I ended up taking the night off (missed a Dynamis-Xarcabard run) I was back at it with my LS on Sunday.

We started the day today with a quick Sea farming run in which we killed Ix'DRG for the Deed and headed back to town for a couple hour break before heading up to attempt Jormungand for the first time. I wasn't expecting to lose after being with this group for almost 8 months and knowing the skill we can unleash on events, but I wasn't expecting it to go as well as it did either. It started off with Jamal aggroing Jorm because he was on auto run while answering some one's question in LS or something, but we quickly got our shit together and went at it.



After about 20mins I had to drop from game because someone had come over to my place to purchase a computer I had put up on craigslist. When I came back about 5-10mins later I saw Jorm was called for help on and everyone was in the process of logging to reset hate.

But being the mature LS we are we didn't start arguing or losing our cool like some groups might, we just picked each other up and got ready to go at it again. So about 20-30mins later we started the battle again. This time we did even better and had Jorm down to 30% within just over 1hr. From about 25% we started having a few hiccups as any LS does on their first few times fighting a Wyrm, as everyone knows from about 20% and lower all Wyrms tend to start getting a little aggravated as they begin to realize their impending death. At this point I ate my first death and had to sit out until about the 10% mark when the spam of Horrid Roar was clearing every ones hate and I finally got back in. From 10% and lower it started to get quite messy looking, as hate was starting to fly all over the place and the tanks kept getting Roared, I'm just as surprised as some of the onlookers that a flail didn't occur causing mass destruction. However about 1hr and 45mins into the fight the final blow was delivered and victory was ours.


This was a great fight and I'm proud of my LS killing their first Wyrm on their first try! This was also my first time using NIN/DRK and was a fun and exciting experience. Congratulations to all the members of Element that attended this event and made this kill possible.

Congrats on the kill man. Jorm is a fun fight, and you will only get better with practice. The Mercurial Pole is an item that I would like to have actually, I need to skill my Staff skill up some. Good job on the recovery from call for help and not panicking or pointing fingers at each other causing more chaos then resolution.
