Ok, so my ls fought this 4 times other day, each time we pulled it to conflux 7, and mages were up top, tanks at bottom, but it seemed to open with fulmination regardless of what spells we stunned(we tried to stun them all). Anyway, we had thunder carol, barthundra and 3 whms spamming cures on tank basically, it seemed like we proc'd Y np within 1min of popping it, but it always used fulmination even without leveling up because we were stunning anything.

Anyway we ended up having to use 2 brews for 4 of the NMs, it was rediculous, hydra and cerb tier3 NMs in abyssea are jokes, yet this almost wipes us unless we brew. AoE was hitting our mages on ledge also.

Is anyone else having problems killing this? Or can someone give me a real strategy to kill this?

We had NIN NIN BLM BLM WHM WHM WHM BLU DRK DNC(was brewing)

In one of the updates just recently, they patched the distance thing.

once he gets a spell of on himself he can use fulm. that should be your stun priority. tank him on the tail so you can avoid getting you tank weakened from lithic breath. mages need to be on the ball with stona and erase. he's not hard unless you eat fulms or a tank goes down. after you get the proc you want, be it yellow or blue, hit red and zerg him down.

No it still works, we just did it last week. You need to position it better #1, #2 stop using fail stunners #3 make sure he isn't casting on person who pops and they stay in range. Don't die, don't let it get thunder over or pass go and collect 200 etc. There is another thread about this that goes into more detail. Fulm isn't even the main issue in most cases compared to other dangers.

Can say from personal experience that standing on top of the ledge near the con will avoid damage from AoE's for mages. Apademak does not use fulmination until it levels up. You need to make sure you take someone to stun when you pop it since it will usually open up casting on itself > level up > etc. Only takes 1 blm/rdm w/ decent haste gear and haste (spell) to be able to stun every single thunder spell it casts. I have also noticed it levels up when it kills someone, which will also enable it to use fulmination. Overall pretty simple fight as long as your stunner is on the ball and healers do their jobs properly.

I honestly find Khim to be the hardest of the abyssea NMs
Fulmination, Enstun and most of all weakness breath make him a pain.

On topic though, Every time we've done it, he opens with a Thunder spell on himself, like as soon as he's popped. So make sure you stun that one.

I find lithic breath to be worse than fulm though...
