SE really?! really 99 cap boss this hard?!?!

[Zarchery]

I think the problem is that level cap removals are so basic to the game, like subjobs or advanced jobs or expanding a gobbiebag. It's not like there's some awesome and prestigious gear. This is just sort of something that I think should be accessible to everyone, even pickup groups.

I think it's a matter of time before SE comes to their senses and nerfs this fight. This is early CoP all over again.

And this fight shouldn't be "OMG SO EASY" with highly specific setups. It should be maybe moderately challenging with ANY setup. I just did it with a pretty basic setup and we didn't even come close.

People are telling the unwashed masses to zerg the BC because we assume that they don't have the skill to do it any other way.

Shut up.

It's an easy fight that any hodge podge of 6 players with 6 weakness items can win.

ya take it from a ....... man i need to tell me from my mule so i can make a sig like that way almost kool XD

Says a 95 Monk.

^^; Guys, come on... let's not flop our epeens around and compare sizes...

It's still a tough battle. For everyone who says it's super easy, congratulations on having the right set up, the right people, and the right strategy! Not everyone got that lucky. I failed with 4 smns, bst, and nin. Failed with all pets. I finally just beat it with a PLD and SMN combination without using a tail! All of the failed runs we had used tails.

Tail =/= instant win.

Congratulations to everyone who won and good luck to everyone who still needs it!

It really isn't that hard... I went in with a pretty average DD...(Pick up) MNK, MNK, DRK, BRD, SMN, NIN... Got it to ~2% Then had a little trouble (A.K.A started dropping cause HF), Still managed to win with a rag-tag pick up group.

You can win normal, Just easier to Zerg if you aren't confident...

GG Speaks the truth, Rather you want to hear it or not, You don't need all this epic gear, Just a basic understanding of your job and some baseline Gear (i.E Knowing what haste is...?) Capped Skills helps too

Its a challenging fight, But not impossible, and if you're really not confident in pick ups, Shout for a Zerg... Its pretty lax if your DD are even moderately well geared

Go do it without your precious MNKs and SMNs, then get back to us.

I think maybe it's time to remember that at the end of the day it's still just a game. It's best not to get bent out of shape over it. Real life contains more than enough to worry about. Enjoy it for what it has to offer even at 95 and hope that things get easier.

Precious MNKs and SMNs?

Edit: Maybe I'm being a bit harsh... Either way, The fights Easily done the normal way as well, how do i know this? I've won about 4 times.

Fighting the normal way just requires Great geared players, and The Item that makes him run for HF

Like I stated earlier for my fight 4 GooeyGerards and you're golden, it's a /yawn fight.

I've done this fight twice. First for me, second was helping out.

First time I did the straight tank method using a PLD (Aegis) and 3 weakening items, had one death, wasn't that difficult.
Second time I PD zerged.

My best advice is to you there is a cap on the damage the taru will take on each hit/nuke, which is 100. So, use DDs that hit as frequently as possible, use multi hit ws and use food and reraise. Like 90% of people here have been saying, it's not that hard.
