odd looking mob, never seen anything like that b4...but anyway, if its so hard, is it worth the clusters u get from it? unless it drops something else not mentioned here...doesnt seem like a good nm to fight
Just went 0/3 tonite on'em. There's 4 of them in the room. 2 blm's, 2 rdm's.
The rdm pots look bigger than the blm's. The rdm's will chase after u vs. the blm's will not and just cast from afar like all blm's do.
We tried 3 times but were completely unprepared, we only went to do 8-1&2. But we were so wound up in getting that beautiful ring that we got here and were outmatched. Best we got was to kill 1 blm pot before wipe.
You definetly need to kill 1 blm pot asap so with a regular pt setup... pld,sam,thf,blm,rdm,whm what would've worked best would be...
pld runs in and vokes right blm pot at far right. as all pots agro him, rdm ES sleepga, this will buy enough time to do 1 SC + MB before pots wake up. when pots wake up, both rdm and blm need to tank with sleepga on the pots, once they are all asleep, SC #2 should be almost rdy, once it is, blm nukes, pots should be waking up shortly, here's the thing, after all that, the 1st blm pot should still be at like 15% or so, sam 2hrs and kills it.
Now there's only 2 rdm pots to keep sleeping, this is not easy sinse these pots have insane melee def. Only thing i can think of for 2nd pot is blm unload with everything u got, rdm chainspell nuke > convert > nuke to death. if hate get's pulled, pld 2hrs. melee do their thing as best as possible.
Hopefully that will be enough to kill the 2nd blm.
everyone must wipe on the blm side of the room to reraise with no agro.
once everyone wipes, rr, heal to full, and get rdy for a much easier battle with no -ga3's to eat up ur soul.
If anybody has any better strats or a glorious strat please post it. manaburn excluded from that, not every1 is a blm. =p
ive done this fight 2 times, and never wiped at all. if i remember correctly we entered the fight with TP. Had NIN SAM (random melee) WHM BLM BLM. nin vokes one, 1 blm ES sleepga II. Use up that tp asap, 2 magic burst, aspir, 2 more nukes, dead pot. Tp was ready, another sc and 2 MB, blm burn 2nd pot down. Pots woke up somewhere aroud then...2nd blm ES sleepga II. BLM aspir rdm mob that is pulled...wait for TP, 2 MB and burn it down. One last aspir, sc + mb...easy win
These are harder then you'd think. Don't underestimate this fight, go all out on the BLMs as fast as possible so they dont full heal themselves, and have reraise on everyone.
