[Greatguardian]

Says a 95 Monk.

I've beat it on Paladin.

Cry more.

[ShadowHeart]

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

^^; 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!

The fight greatly favors pet jobs and PD zergs or mana burns while spamming the rabbit tail item. Trying to fight it with a "traditional" setup is nearly suicide unless your PLD is ridiculously pimped out. He'll do two WS so fast that it appears to one shot people. And under 50% all he does is spam WS after WS after WS like his AI is stuck in a loop. It'll just walk around killing everyone. The items don't help that much, they'll give you a 60s breather as he's running around too fast for melee's to really do damage on him. If you have BLM / SCH / RNG's then you can just spam the items and kill him while he's running. Or you get a SMN with PD and zerg him down while he can't hurt you.

Really limited set of strategies to use, but thankfully with Abyssea XP being easy people shouldn't have an issue just leveling BST and throwing slugs at him.

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.

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

[Sesh]

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

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

[Ravenmore]

Did it with blu/nin, whm/sch pld/war(non relic and no emp weapon or shield) sam/war, rdm/blm. Used 2 items won in 9 mins thats with the whm forgetting to use the ethers I gave her.

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.
