Moggle Mog... (minor rant)

I've been trying to do Moggle Mog Ex for a short while recently, mostly because I like the ribbon accessory for a few glamour sets. The fight's hard, sure, but what happened in my latest party just frustrates me...

So, we had a few rocky pulls. No worries, right? Things get smoother, we go on. Someone flubbed up and hit the WHM too many times so we had to kill it on the last phase to stop Pom Holy, wipe because we don't have enough time to kill them all.

Then, on the last attempt. Everyone's alive, all moogles are low. Kill one to start the final cast, kill all of them, no problem. Little time lost chasing them down, not a big deal. Get on the king, LB3. Casting.... finish casting, animation... and party wipe.

Yes, we had all moogles down, king low enough to die to LB3, and just because the cast time and animation took so long, we wiped just before it went off.

Any tips to how to kill them all faster? Or can we get a slight nerf to this part?

The second the first moogle dies, you normally start casting LB3. At least thats how we handled it.

Caster LB 3 when all moogles are low and then go nutz on boss?

If you're saving LB to use only on Moggle Mog, better make it a melee LB.

Only things I can think of are either you didn't get the other moogles low enough so they didn't die quickly enough, or you hit the enrage timer and he started casting Moogle Memento a bit before you started killing them. There is more than enough time for the LB to go off whenever we do a clear.

There's already echo and an extremely lax'd dps check. The fight is fine as is. Your group probably just isn't getting every moogle down low enough in hp before you kill one in earlier phases. The more hurt they are, the more life the boss gives.

Save LB3 for Moggle Mog when he's casting Momento Mori. It is easy enough to time downing all the moogles before the boss. It is up to the DPS to look after their own DPS and for the healers to esuna/leeches the debuffs.

If you don't have a melee DPS it's better to use the Mage LB3 to kill off all the moogles at once instead of using it on the king by himself. A FC member would initiate the LB and interrupt it to show people where he was aiming and to alert the tanks to bring their moogles in. As long as everything dies all at once you get a ton of time to take the king down so it's comparable to using the melee LB.

Echo is your Nerf. It seems you almost had it, all that's left is to try a bit harder, and be a bit faster and it's a win. Here's a minor rant.. Why do players constantly ask for nerfs on extreme primals? Is the word "extreme" not being understood? Or perhaps many players prefer not to have to put any effort into things.
