Leviathan Ponies Farming

Alright, last night our FC went to farm a few ponies using undersized (unsync) party. What we lack most is Leviathan’s horse. 3 people including me still need it. So, at one point, we spammed Leviathan EX. We didn’t wipe. Just half wiped or almost wiped, which is a good thing, because it shows that we learned the rhythm of Levi EX battle and have improved in executing plans. Corn was on commander duty, reminding us when to stop DPSing and such, and also he was the switch person for the barrier.

During one fight, I died alone because I didn’t look at where Levi would slam down and when I realized it and sprinted, I was 1 step short from not falling off. XD The party won, however.

The next fight, Dew later said it was karma, I had to work harder than the others to make up for the previous fight. At one point, while people were towing the water orbs, something happened and suddenly 3 people died. I didn’t even know what was going on. Only Dew (PLD), Kuji (DRG) and I (WHM) were left. We waited for the machine’s energy, and Kuji managed to hit the switch on time. We survived and I thought it was going to be ok.

Nope, the damn add cursed Dew with Hysteria and Kuji accidentally stepped on a terror circle while dodging shit, so they both walked off the edge and went swimming with the rest of the party. At 10%, I was alone and scared as hell. There were 2 terror circles on the floor when Levi next slammed on the raft. I slid, and very luckily missed the circle by inches. Party screamed a lot of stuff. Dew was so hyped and was squeaking her excitement in our Skype call.

Nervous and panicked, I still remembered to Asylum, Divine Seal Medica II, and Regen myself while dodging stuff and attacking Levi’s head. I deactivated Cleric Stance to use Tetragammatron when needed, then went on the nuking spree again. Then while spamming Stone III, I spent my Benediction. Levi hits hard, the Scale Darts were like 2300 HP dmg each. Eventually, while ignoring the adds out of sheer fear and excitement, I felled Leviathan.

It wouldn’t have been a big deal for undersized party to win against it, but it was a HUGE deal for me when I had to solo. I was particularly scared because I don’t perform well in Leviathan EX. I used to always die first because I couldn’t dodge the dive and the slam. When I won, while the party was screaming their joy in the FC chat, I was trembling, LOL. The same old excitement and rush of adrenaline I haven’t felt in quite some time came back again, and I felt as if I were on crack. XD
