Solo Wings of Fury as BST

[Bustaballs]

I used to do this all of the time without failing. Before I left many months ago I tried to duo it with someone and got my ass handed to me. I'm not sure why it was so much harder. Did they beef up the difficulty on this or was it just me? I don't want to run back in there just to die and lose some seals. Has anyone else done this recently and been okay?

I used to do it as a 2BST and healer trio 3 years ago, and even with 2 very well equipped BSTs charm wasn't particularly relaible. Solo, it can be done, but if even the slightest thing goes wrong, you're screwed.

I have no idea how you used to do it 100%.

Give us more info... what did you do, bring, was hate screwy, was it hard to charm, did they hit very hard?

Otherwise the default strategy for solo is packing as much Hi Pots as you can, more or less... with a HP regen drink.

Lots of Mis-Charm + lots of Hi-Pots = Win eventually

i used to do that with 2 bst charming pets and 2Hing them, prolly doable when solo if lucky on charms... but we had to let the biggie kill the small ones before killing it or it glitched .

When we lost, it was after we struggled to beat the rest of colo-colo after it finished off one bat. I had a barely living 2 houred bats. I had the guy who was with me rest to full. He was a melee job with decent equip. I left the battlefield so he could finish it off and he died. The bats only had a sliver of life left. I could usually solo those as bst with crappy equip and a hi pot or two. I assumed they seriously beefed up the power of those bats or something.

I know they changed some things about it a while ago. For one, no one was allowed to heal outside the gates. That's all I remember.

But yes, SE did touch it overall. Not sure on the mobs strength.

Get a nin and duo the pcc bcnm. only good drop on bcnm 20 is the mannequin item... but its too tricky for a single BST to do serious work of the bcnm.

I'm going to try it out again later and see if it was just bad luck. The BC20 I solo drops astral rings and thunder spirit pact. The one you can solo as SMN drops mannequin items.

I just tried it. I easily beat the first bats and colo-colo, then I charmed the last one and healed up. The last bats only had a sliver of life. I was going to easily win this. I was trying to record this on fraps. As the last one uncharmed, my game started going at 2-5 FPS and the bats kills me before I can do anything. Fraps filled up my HDD in just a few minutes. So yeah. This BC is still easily soloable.
