I know that (or at least, this is the impression I was given) that if two of JoL's summon pets were held (once he'd down to just phuabo) that, provided the 3rd was killed, he would repeatedly only summon 1 phuabo at a time.

Is this still true? Was it ever true, for that fact?

Quick edit: Yes, i'm aware that ffxiclopedia says they can be. Honestly, I don't trust ffxiclopedia worth crap.

It's true. We wait till he's summoned all his (15 I think?) summons and then have two NINs hold two sharks entire fight. Only one shark will be summoned each time this way.

Ah, good, nice to hear it works still. Thanks

However the more Phaubos you kill the weaker AV is. :boing

[leey]

can someone explain exactly how this works? you hold one shark pet he summons and then next set will be only 1 shark?

love will summon goldfish, sharks, and squids. after a few rounds he will stop summoning squids and goldfish and will only summon sharks. untill he gets to the point where he only summons sharks you dont attempt to kill love because his auto-regen is far to high, by killing the summons you kill his regen. when he is at the point he only summons sharks his regen is broken and you can start killing him.

when he is at this point that he only summons sharks 3 things can happen:
1) he goes to summon and the sharks from the previous round are dead he will summon his usual 3
2) he goes to summon and the sharks from the previous round have not yet been killed he will still summon 3 sharks, so you will have 6 to fight
3) he goes to summon and only 1 shark from the previous round has been killed while 2 still remain unkilled. in this case he will only summon 1 shark instead of 3.

the advantage of this is if you can hold 2 sharks without killing them and without them killing the people holding them, every summon round after that he will only summon 1 additional shark. you can then have someone that is OUTSIDE BOTH the main JoL pty and the shark holding pty claim this single shark love summons every round and CFH on it for everyone else to kill quick, or just have the holding pty claim it and kill it without a CFH as to not cause trouble with a CFHed jol or a CFH on a shark you are intentionally not killing.

Except theres no reason to not dd love before his regen is killed unless you like hour and a half kills.

Throw on 2 tp burn style pts with the tank pt and just start burning it on pop. Have blm kill summons when they come out. Doing this you can have jol dead is just about 30 min from pop and be done with this ridiculously boring fight.

Fully killing its regen before dding it is a total waste of time.

wasnt argueing the effectivness of the strategy, simply answering the question ^^
