FFXI - Depths Digester (Abyssea - Konschtat T2 VNM) - WHM Solo
11~Please watch in 720p!~
This time, I take on Depths Digester, a T2 VNM in the Abyssea - Konschtat zone. I usually found him wandering between Conflux #04 and #05, though sometimes further west of that too.
Depths Digester is a Gorger mob from the Promyvion zones, and thus can use a few TP moves from that family. Notably, it uses Promyvion Barrier (defense boost) and Stygian Flatus (AoE Paralyze). The Wiki mentions this NM can use Vanity Drive, Quadratic Continuum, and Spirit Absorption; but I have to see any of those three TP moves used during my fights with Depths Digester.
Additionally, Depths Digester gains an en- effect based on the spell it used previously. IE, if it uses Firaga II, it will gain en-fire. If it uses Silencera, it gains en-silence. It seems the en-elemental damage becomes more potent as the fight goes on, but I could be wrong in this regard.
Max meritted Shellra V will help mitigate spell and en- damage and keeping up Barsilencra and Baraera will keep Silence from sticking too long. Keeping Divine Caress up full time and using it to boost your Paralyze resistance against it's TP move is also useful as well. I have resisted that TP move more than once with Divine Caress' active after a Paralyna proc (admittedly, I don't use this technique for this fight, but I did use it for future fights against this mob).
I personally used /DNC for this for faster killing speeds due to Haste Samba, but /NIN can be used to help protect you from huge spike hits from Depths Gorger when it has en-element up and he decides he wants to double attack you for 600-700 damage.
Just keep your HP up and wail on it, and you should do fine when killing this T2 VNM ^^
Enjoy!

Beastmaster extraordinaire, this Tarutaru kicks ass and takes videos and names while doing so. His music selection is superb as well!
