Roughly what range and boss do you need for normal gollux?

have about 100k fully buffed and 37%ish boss

You can do it without even buffing. 1st stage is straightforward. Second stage, just go down to kill the mobs. Jewel should die in 1-5 hits of anything.

I was able to complete hard gollux with 180% boss and 150k range as an f/p.
You can easily sweep norm.

From experience:
All ra gears and over 50k clean to defeat norm gollux as an fp.
Grab a damage rune and you're good to go.

@Kiitsune: I would just buy new armor unless your lumi armor has over 9% int each. Psoks are so expensive.

You should be able to finish it in 10 minutes (plus 2-3 minutes on getting there + limbs). It will be easier if you use infinity for the eyes + gem. Most of the mobs will die by themselves if you turn on teleport mastery, ifrit, and inferno aura. Remember to use the potion for boss att since your %boss is low.

On the eyes, you can use meteor shower on the middle platform to kill mobs below. I did it with half your range, although the eyes gave me a bit of trouble- good luck!

[quote=QueenLorde]Should be enough. May take 20-25 minutes and very good controls. You never know until you try!
I've been able to do normal on my Lumi with 80k and 60% boss if that helps for comparison...
Just get a little bit more %boss by finishing your CRA or Gollux set, and you'll be killing normal mode no problem.[/quote]
just missing the ring/earring for a reinforced set, and still debating on the CRA part, since I have the armor on my Lumi but I'd have to Psok it over..

[quote=NamesBoreMe]I'm not sure about F/Ps because they have a bit more difficulty with mob control compared to I/Ls (CL hits mobs from gem), but if you can avoid all the attacks, and spend enough time whittling away at the health bars, 100k range (without arcane aim)/50% boss should be enough to kill the gem in the timer. Pretty much, the head is going to take forever to kill, the eyes aren't a problem if you can stay out of range (i.e. behind the portal) and kill mobs (teleport down to let Ifrit hit). The gem should be killable at that range.
This is based on the fact that I 1-shot the gem as an I/L mage without ice stacks at 350k range and 120% boss and F/Ps have much higher DPS at lower ranges, but don't have as good mob control.[/quote]

oof.. forgot about the mobs. So used to doing gollux on my NL.
