Strategies

See discussion page for testimonials

• Duo'd with 75WAR/37NIN and WHM75/37SCH. No Casualties.

• Duo'd with BLM/RDM and RDM/BLM. Gravity and Bind did not work from either of us, but Chainspell and Manafont made quick work of him. Very tough, but managable with a straightforward, "All-Out" strategy. BLM casualty.

• Did it with a PLD/DNC, COR/NIN, WHM/BLM with no trouble at all. The boss seems very vulnerable to all enfeebling spells and the boss doesn't seem to gain resistant at all.

• Duo'd with SAM/NIN and a BLU/NIN. No casualties.

• Duo'd with Pld/whm and Sam/nin. No casualties but very close call.

• Duo'd with DRK/PLD and WHM/NIN 11 minute fight with Light SC key part, fairly easy fight for us.

• Duo'd with PLD/DNC and a THF/NIN. Pass hate back and forth whenever one starts to take too much damage. Meds recommended (Holy Water, Remedy, Potions.)

• Duo'd with DRG/BLU and DRG/WHM. No meds, just one Tavnazian Taco per person.

• Duoed by a WHM/BLM and a MNK/NIN. Monk used shadows and Hundred Fists. Easy battle. Took a few minutes.

• Trio'd with a SAM/NIN, WHM/BLM, and BLM/RDM. A straightforward and an easy battle.

• Solo'd with a DRG/RDM , just use 1 Tavnazian Taco , 1 Holy Water , 2 Angon and 5 minutes. Fight not very hard

• Solo'd with SMN/WHM, keep Stoneskin and Blink up at all times for when pet dies and he uses draw in. Took 2 tries.
