Strategy for Good King Moggle Mog XII (Rabanastre SeeD)

Primal Battle "A Feast of Fools" post 1.20a update. Battle strategy for Good King Moggle Mog XII brought to you by Rabanastre SeeD, endgame Linkshell, of Rabanastre Server for Final Fantasy XIV online.

The battle strategy available here has been created independently within the Rabanastre SeeD LS only. We do not read or watch battle strategies made available from other endgame LS's until we've developed one of our own that's reliable and successful.

We are pleased to record and share one of our runs. We hope that everyone will enjoy the new content as we have, and work towards defeating the King and receiving their much anticipated weapons.

Our strategy involves map positioning, binding Whiskerwall, 4 Damage Dealers, 3 Healers,1 Tank and a specific kill order.

DD's composition may be of your choice although it is strongly recommended to have at least 2-3 "bind" capable classes, either Archer or Thaumaturge. Whomever has Whiskerwall emnity moves to the designated "binding" area and calls for a bind and returns to position upon successful binding. The key is controlling this moogle and "kiting" "Maxi Moogle" adds from Shaggysong's skill. It is possible to win with a mixture of the classes. Make no mistake however, this fight relies on teamwork and communication. There is little room for error.

A link is available to our strategy below. We will also strive to create videos from other points of view as well.

By all means, spread the word ^^

You can repost as you wish, and I hope it helps!

Thanks for this.

Good stuff...
Thanks for sharing and nice to see more good LSs.

The previous runs, we had a MRD instead of THM, so that setup is also doable. Just have to stay away from ruffle and king to avoid AOE.

Any DD can work. It's just more MP efficient to have ranged DD to avoid aoe's. Sadly lancer can't avoid the aoe's with distance but they can hang with archer damage pretty well.

Thanks for the information, I'll be sure to give this a look over next time I try and hand that moogle his crown.

Oh, would you look at that! More class stacking strategies. Such a legitimate strategy! I can't believe no ones ever tried THREE CNJ instead of TWO! Wow! How does it feel knowing you will win? I'll never understand this mentality.

/shrug

More of that path of least resistance stuff, I guess.

Enlighten me, please. Anyone. I'm sure I'll probably get a lot of attacks, but you won't change my idea of accomplishment.

Please explain your "Idea" of accomplishment, hell the OP even advocates that you can use other classes in the battle. Nothing in it Requires much besides a tank and at least 1-2 jobs with bind.

There's hardly any classes to choose from as it is, expect class stacking. 2-3+ here & there, it's going to happen.

Many things can be accomplished with any set up, but once you're too a point of shit drop rates & not enough time to farm it in the day, you want speed & efficiency.

Well, considering there is only 7 battle classes available you would have to stack atleast 1 class. Or we can have one member d/c so we don't stack a class.

The fight is in no way a guaranteed win just because there are three or four archers. Everyone still needs to be on their A game to win.

The only reason we use archers that much is to keep Wiskerwall bound. It's a strategy. Isn't that the whole point? Devise a tactic to overcome the obstacle?

We've won with lancers, pugilists and marauders in the fight. But the point is we won using intended mechanics. You could spread it out more and exchange an arc for a thm, but MP will be an issue. That's what makes arc so ideal, they can bind and DD and reserve their MP for self healing -- assuming they stay clear of Tailturner.

As others have said, there's only seven battle classes. With GLA, CNJ, THM and ARC in there, we're using four out of the seven classes.

You can use melee but they need to be familiar with the fight to know when to clear out for Pom Flare. Even Moogle-Go-Round can be lethal. It's not just us choosing a "path of least resistance," it's just that we're being efficient in a fight where getting rid of a lesser version of an ability ultimately makes it stronger until the king is killed.

A group could go in with one of each class and two Conjurers, but then the archer and Thaumaturge are going to be focused solely on binding and the cons' MP will drain quickly with moves like Pom Flare, Moogle-Go-Round and Moogle Eye Shot.

You could forego binding, but then Wiskerwall is further stretching MP because he gets called for help. So instead of stacking Archers you'll have start taking out DDs for healers to keep up with the damage as well as melees taking a bomb-and-run style of attack once the king has both Moogle-Go-Round and Pom Flare.

I hope you don't think I'm attacking you, I'm just trying to explain the logic behind the use of archers. It's more than, "oh, they don't get hit. Instawin!" It's about managing Wiskerwall so other classes can focus on their own duties. But as I said, everyone still has to play hard to win.

Just have a ARC with a good amount of PIE and have them as designated binder (make sure their shadowbind is apart of a combo for a long bind duration. By the time PLD is unbound, the combo will be ready again) and you can pretty much do this with any DD make up.

The real important part is your CON in first phase. Melee alone are not going to take down WAR and PLD very fast. As the video shows, your CON need to half focus on nuking.

The kill order is not very different from ours aside from a few. Which isn't vastly different. If you do your kill order differently, it's not a big deal. Just do what works for your group.

We completely agree with you that having the classes properly geared with appropriate stats (such as PIE/DEX for archers) is favorable. In our shell each member uses the appropriate gear and materia to reach what we have confirmed to be thresholds for the classes stats. Our member Kory began recording the data and began a post at the link posted below to show what he has so far confirmed.

Having one or multiple binds ready with a bind order from either of the classes which can bind (ARC/THM) should eliminate the majority of your frustration with Whiskerwall. Just remember that if he is "Maxi Moogle" the bind will wear off upon the completion of Shaggysong's buff. It will take some practice, but placing Whiskerwall in a designated "bind area" will allow easy targeting and effective range for increasing the probability of your binds. If all else fails you should be able to reattempt bind after 30 seconds should both bind classes fail the first attempt. This practice also will make it so it does not matter who has hate on Whiskerwall. If the tank's mages are having issues during the second phase initially you can help them out by ensuring anyone but them have hate before the moogles preform their ceremony. I hope this helps!

Just a few tips for tanking. I usually save my mp for Decoy, so I can pop it when I see the target on me for the moogle eyeshot. Sentinel when you see the red aura around king to reduce flare damage. Start running away if you see yellow from the king to avoid the first hit on his maxi. If sentinel and decoy are both on cool down, just tell your mages to ready their big heals, so you won't die in case you get flare and eyeshot at the same time.

Also Aegis Boon is a life saver after flare. You will heal up to 800 HP on activation. Just pop it right before flare goes off so the next hit heals you.
