Windmill triggering Mineral Hail
Mineral Hail has a cooldown of 40 seconds, so there's no way he can spam it. But is it a really bad tactic?
The video here, on Hard, shows Girgashiy barely retaliating. And NOT ONCE does it try to use Mineral Hail.
The real issue would not be whether or not he used Mineral Hail, but whether or not the team could effectively deal damage without the shield,spike, blade combo, wouldn't it?
It depends on it, even with Windmill spam, he can use it, besides Joey's video of HM raid only show from 45%, not a full run of 100% to 0%. Again, it depends on each of raid members in party of 16. Even without Mineral Hail, the Holy Contagion and Holy Confinement combined in Hard is really dangerous. In my Hard Runs, of course with that tactic, it is not 100% successful, sometimes he ended up using Mineral Hail.
If it's not using hail occasionally because of windmill then I think that line could be removed. IMO it seems like a deterrent from a valid tactic.
This was taken on Apostle Difficulty. Contagion was used 6 times, Confinement 4, Fanaticism 1, and Soul Absorption 1. Mineral Hail was only used during the set-up, but not during the windmilling.
I haven't seen a windmill party on easy yet... But it wouldn't make sense if Windmill actively triggered Mineral Hail on only Easy but not on Normal/Hard/Apostle.
I've done some runs on easy where people used windmill, it made it rather difficult in fact, because it kept him from using Mineral Hail.
The point of this thread is to disprove that Windmill actively triggers Mineral Hail, because it seems to deter a lot of people from using a valid tactic.
Yes, which is the opposite of what your friend said. So that sentence is false and needs to be removed.
It says "several members". The tip could be modified if need be.
There could be some solo tips. I only completed it once and I'm never doing it again. >.> Though, all you really need are just high-damage attacks and a high ranked Shield of Trust.
So..seeing this and I will clear it up, Windmill spamming, if doing "Non-Stop" will prevent him from using Mineral Hail, no matter what in any difficulty.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, he can use Mineral Hail after Windmill used, and no it will not cause him to use it right away, it depends on AI and HP he is currently in. I had him use hail after his successful/canceled skill.
Few days ago in my Hard Runs: Windmill was successfully executed (A member did it) --> Girgashiy's AI reset --> Girgashiy uses Soul Absorption (His HP was currently at 22% that time) --> Girgashiy's Soul Absorption canceled or finished (We canceled it) --> Girgashiy uses Mineral Hail (Girgashiy has not used Mineral Hail until now after canceled Soul Absorption).
So what happened? Because the Windmill is not used again after Soul Absorption was cancelled, therefore AI was not reset and due to that, Girgashiy immediately used Mineral Hall after that. So, to prevent it, windmill spam was necessary to keep resetting his AI so he can't use Mineral Hail (It varies after number of successful/canceled skill he used, it can happen after single or few skill used).
As a bonus, I will tell you, when Windmill was used, Girgashiy doesn't attack or use any skills for at least 1.0-1.2 seconds (At least half of Windmill's spinning animation).
