    Yes the old guides/strats/videos are outdated since 1.23 since they patched it so you will now get 3 waves regardless.

    I feel it was already the hardest of the 7 leves before the patch and now, in my opinion it is harder than the ifrit battle itself.

    We tried many different strategies, the one that ultimately won for us believe it or not was WAR WHMx3. Each WHM would take turns casting Holyx2 (via Presence of Mind) on each wave. The WAR would Steel Cyclone & other WHMs cast Aerora.

    It was still very close and not sure how feasible this strat is to the general public since all 3 of the WHMs had finished Relic weapons so their Holy damage was increased. After the 3 waves were dead, we would run out to shed hate, have 1 swap to BLM and 1 to WAR.

    I have seen many groups try with 3 BLM and leashing them back and forth, but I feel this cant be the intended mechanic and seems to be very luck based anyway whether you can even come close to finishing them off this way in time.

    Yeah we've tried the 3 whm method you described earlier and it's just not enough to take down the adds for us.. but for the 3blm method we've just seen a group go in with and beat it twice so i have hopes in beating it soon.

    This leve is most certainly the most difficult but if you're using the 3 blm method it's mostly about execution, three firiga and the crit ability is enough to take down one wave of mobs.

    it was acctually 1aerora +holy*2 first wave, 1 aerora + holy*1 + 1 aerora + stonra(s) second wave, holy*3 third wave. holy*2 each wave works in theroy but hard to do because on 3rd wave there's no more collusion and no time to wait for war's ws, whm who holy on 3rd wave usually gets hate and die very fast. there were a lot of sentinal,ss and benediction going on as well.
    3whm+war stats are all about timing and stay alive!
