1 PLD 1 DRG (me) 2 BRD 2 WHM 2 BLM.
PLD sets up so that Chimera's ass isn't in the sand traps which allows me easily combo and keep constant dps on Chimera. BLM's and 1 BRD on the rear end of Chimera. BLM's Fire > Fira the adds and BRD buffs and heals the BLM's while keeping dps on Chimera. WHM's on the other side so they aren't out of range to heal the PLD and BRD keeps up MP song for WHM's while DPSing Chimera and picking off stray adds that the BLM's miss.
It's easy if you stay on the side of Chimera against the wall, if you keep getting hurt there's Life Surge and Second Wind if not then all the more to you, just keep an eye on the log and it's not a predicting game, more of a "are you paying attention" type of deal. Also, I never mentioned 17 minute runs. This was a normal speed run with a pick up party.

Ta-da it's a non-BLM stack.

Also this works too.

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.


And to this:

No, this is not an insulting remark.
