That is so true. May the twelve have mercy on our souls!

Just copied the video + the info you gave Miko. Works great. Awaiting nerf :(

We actually tried this first night but failed like the others. The reason Legacy got it to work is because they time their attack phase instead of going all out. You slow nuke to keep full MP, then go straight into full out nuke phase after the 2nd jump + TP move. This is why the AF occurs around 26:15 instead of 27:00. If you all out nuke from the start you won't beat it. Please correct me if anything is wrong.

Also we're using double/single socket BLMs and it works. Don't need triple sockets, though it couldn't hurt.

holy mother thats insane

Exactly right.

I also don't feel like this is a zerg exclusive to Black Mages. Our MNK a few days ago was putting numbers up nearly equal to our top Black Mage and this on his first and only try. A front line zerg would lose DPS during jumps but if geared properly I definitely see it being possible.

Really like the timing of the music to the fight, can feel the pressure.

I think you're absolutely right here. It doesn't teleport during the 1:45 window you have to kill it in your "attack phase." This was the biggest issue for melee DD. I think if this is no longer an issue, a DRG or MNK ignore adds and going full Garuda could probably out-DPS BLM spam. I know our group isn't strong enough at melee spam to pull this off but I'd love to see another group with more melee expertise like BG try this. I know when we beat it first time copying you guys we cut it so close it actually teleported to the middle to Aerial Blast us and we killed with as it was readying with Thundara.

We also had Garuda teleport to the center for Aerial Blast our first try and I believe I got the kill with a single skull sunder before the 9999 came lol.

Hahaha the previous night we were all talking about music for videos to use in the future, and when I put up the link for that song, I realized it would look perfect for a burn video :D


Melee burn might be plausible, the down side is all that moving around to get combos off and such, and losing combos when she would teleport away.

This is pretty cool. I don't see the point of a "nerf." You can't pull something like this off without having an appropriately coordinated and geared group.

Like Kumaeru said: "Definitely not an AF geared Blm fight, I'd say..."
