Notes
- It appeared that Heavenly Strike was absorbed by Utsusemi, but Blizzard IV was not. --Freebayes 17:01, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
- At least with players, the opposite is true. These BPs ignore shadows, and the "IV" ones do not. Tahngarthortalk-contribs 17:45, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
Testimonials
- Solo'd as PLD/RDM, 17 minute fight. Very easy, just save Rampart for her two-hour.
- Easily duoed by 2 WHM/NIN
- NIN75/RDM37 can easily solo this, keeping barspells up.
- Dual boxed with 75DRG/SAM and 75WHM/BLM. Fought on firesday very easily, never falling below 50% HP.
- Soloable as WHM/NIN.
- Soloable as WHM/RDM on ice day, without much of an issue, no meds and 12m 5s clear time (capped shield skill, genbu shield, perdu wand) stay in solace mode, enfire not auspice, blaze spikes, standard solo tactics as whm/rdm.
- Soloed as RDM/NIN. Very easy with composure. Cast all buffs then remove composure for Utsusemi recast times. Only had to cast cure III on myself once the whole fight.
- Duoable by DNC75/NIN & BLM75/WHM. Keep up Fan Dance & Utsusemi. Use Waltzes when needed. BLM Buffs and uses Barblizzara. Roughly recast Fan Dance around 50% for 2hr
- Soloable as SMN/WHM. Keep up Protect, Shell, Blink and Stoneskin. Be sure to bring yagudo drinks for MP and poison potions for sleepga. Remember to cast barblizzara when you can as well. Use Ifrit to open with (Flaming Crush works wonders), but when your MP drops too low bring out carbuncle until your MP goes up. Stay well out of range of Shiva - Diamond Dust has a VERY LARGE range - and use Elemental Siphon when necessary. Overall, it's a fairly easy (but lengthly) fight, just kite around and Flaming Crush/Poison Nails every so often (not too much or you'll get too much hate).
