Actually we did the fight with MNK's. Never got hit from poison because stun effects are a lot more frequent than they are before since the hotfix. Chimera didn't get much of an opportunity to get his Scorpion Stings in. We took it down much faster than a BLM burn party. I think we might use that setup when we start doing the 17 minute speed runs. WAR/MNK setup in hopes to get the tail off.

Overall, melee can fight Chimera just fine. BLM is just safer, that is all.
