lvl 99 limit break ways to win

[Ravenmore]

My mana burn fight was with no one having capped skills. 2 had rdm cap level skill I used sch to boost my rdm's skills up to B level and the other blm hadn't really used his blm since 85 cap and only played it 2 times to get it to 95. Won it in 3 mins. Also non had a full afv3+2 set.

Now for the first time we won the fight we went with rdm/blm, whm/sch, blu/nin(me), bst/dnc, pld/war(non ochan), sam/war. He can't hurt a pld much when he can't SC gogo 6 sec stun. We got in a rush a I had forgot to bring a RR item didn't feel like run back so we went with it, died about 50% was dead till the taru pop 2 hour at 30% pld pop item got me up I stuned him going by, the sam and the rdm finished him off with 2hours. Any good stunners with a decent pld with a decent whm can remove the threat of SCs.

The strategy I'm going to use tomorrow is SAM (me) x4 BLM, x1 WHM. Have at lease 2 Olde Rarab Tails. Use them and Nuke while taru is running in circles. Hopefully within that minute of him running around it will be enough to finish him off.

Just a hunch.

if not already done: use quint spear and leg sweep whenever stun wear to prevent him runing oor

Yes the battle is NOT "casual corner players" friendly. Meaning if you go with random 4-5 others with mish mash gears and clear indication they just leveled the xyz job with barely a good knowledge how the jobs should function in a party fighting NM (with no atma buffs) and thinking just go in and zerg - you are most likely will fail. But if you have 1-2 casual corners with 4-5 other good players - then you should be able to win it. I went with different group set ups with different characters and jobs (sch, smn, mnk). The players makes huge difference in winning or loosing this battle. I did not use rarab tails on any of the battle but others who used it before said it will lower his defense and let you deal more damages. Multi hit weapon skill and damage mitigation is a key for zerg - and "perfect set up with jobs xyz" means nothing if your party barely know how to use those jobs.

And sadly once this "fever" is over - new players will have to deal with shouting and paying other people to come help. Already fang and bones being bazaared at $100k a pop. The only reason for me to do it over and over is to kill this shitaru dead as revenge.

Two winning strats to post. The one I unlocked mine in was MNK MNK MNK MNK DNC SMN. I think you already know the details of how that goes down.

Second for my wife was PLD (me) BLM BLM BLM BLM RDM, Two tails.

I ran in and Sentinel'd up and took hate giving one of the BLMs enough time to use tail and all of them to manafont and nuke. Got it down to about 40%. I then covered the second tail person and threw some cures around. From there I popped a wing and shield bashed it, used Sanguine Blade. Then I Divine Emblem and Holy'd him (just doing my part) while the RDM chainspell nuked and the BLMs tossed whatever they could at him. He died before second tail wore off.

I've won with...

MNK, MNK, MNK, WHM, SMN, BRD

MNK, MNK, MNK, NIN, SMN

MNK, RNG, BLM, BLM, SMN, WHM

Each time, fight started with the SMN using Inferno Howl followed by Perfect Defense, then the MNKs would use Hundred Fists. In the one MNK fight, same strategy, but only til about 50%, when Hundred Fists wore off (technically the cue to use the tail was when my HP hit yellow, which wasn't til after Hundred Fists anyway). Once that happened, we used a Rarab Tail, and had the RNG and BLMs go nuts on it.

We tried BLM/SCH, BLM/RDM, BLM/RDM, WHM/SCH, RDM/BLM, PLD/WAR. PLD was useless, there was times he got aggro back but most the time the BLMs were killed because big nukes >> provoke. Chainspell stun was helpful during the 2hr though, but then I died once chainspell wore off when he asuran fisted me in one go (really SE? one hit kill for an LB fight? get real!) The tank died very quickly after all the BLMs had died once and resurrected, then the WHM went down followed by the weakened BLMs. It would've worked better had the PLD been another BLM and we had another tail or two. It was very close, we got him very low but it just wasn't good enough.

Your story has a problem. There are no big nukes unless you use a raraab tail. Everything caps at 100ish dmg without it. I am not saying they didnt get agro, but it sure wasnt from big nukes.

If you were using a tail (which you kinda of hint at in the end) why did you even bother with a paladin, and rather how did anyone agro while he is running in a circle? Do you mean after the tail wore off and he still wasnt dead? 1 Tail +3-4 mages is enough to do 70% of its dmg. With that setup you have to turtle tank it to 55-60 then pop a tail and let blm finish it. You would be better off just tailing from the start and opening with everyones 2hr. Monk 2 hring + 3 blm should kill it. Add in a rdm for chain spell stun so it doesnt run from the monk and you win.

BST BST RDM NIN WHM DRG
This was an assembly of strangers so no idea how it worked.
I was BST so it was Gooey Gerard + about 6 Dawn Mulsum so he never got defeated.
I'm probably going to have to repeat this to help a friend, so maybe I will try using Fatso Fargann. the blunt PDT reduction and drainkiss should make him last slightly longer than Gerard. Plus waiting to get charges for his TP moves is irritating.
