lvl 20 Summoner Battles

[Raz]

ok i read all your guys' posts and relized you all are missing the most important thing. GO IN AND FIGHT ON THE DAY OPPOSITE THE AVATAR YOU ARE FIGHTING. example, fighting Ifrit go in on watersday. easy as that. i was reading and it weakens the avatar by 25%!!! i would suggest subbing blm and then hitting the SOB with elemental spells while carby tanks. but this is just comin from a nin with only 12 lvls or mage under the belt lol.

Hitting it with elemental spells would only build hate for you, and deal very little damage to the avatar (lv 10 blm is all the power you'd have) But it's worth a shot..

Peti,

This is a link to FFXI videos created by people. One of the videos is all of the lv 20 fights. The guy seems to have a proven tactic to winning every single battle. I suggest you watch it

Yeah, I've watch that vid... tried the tactic, too... but it never seems to work. I think Tarutaru have a natural hate-building existence. Everytime I do something the prime comes after me, no matter what. Kinda funny to see me running with the prime and carbuncle close behind.
I've given up on those minis for now.. and Have obtained the original Primes, with some help.. (btw "help" - I still need two more )

Watching that again, It seems Tarutatu got very lucky.. and all the items he used arent cheap either... yag drinks, hi-potions, even the boiled crab. Thats a lot of gil to put into something thats still a close call.. Shiva's 2hr knocked him down to 10hp. Titan's 2hr killed me.
