Tell me if this strategy will work for BCNM60: Up in Arms (k club).

BLM/RDM, PLD, and RNG/BLM/BLU.

BLM/RDM grav/bind/heals the PLD, PLD kites until Fe'e loses 2 tentacles, and the 3rd member tears it up.

Would it work?
 
Or you could just have the 2 BLM''s duo it and not waste your time on the PLD/BLU/RNG.

2BLM and a BRD or RDM is best though, i have done this BC many times this way, never failed and are 100% confident i could do it with just 2 BLM's. Just bring MP drinks.

Burst > Blizzaga 2 > repeat until dead. (with sleeps inbetween ofcourse) Just watch your time.
 
I dont see why it wouldent work
Ive always done it as RNG,RDM,PLD PLD kites Rng goes pew pew lol but yea its a fun BC GL getting a club :)
 
I've done this one repeatedly with RDM, BLM, and DRK/SAM. Guess which one I was! >.>;

If you go with the sleep > nuke > sleep method though, you're going to want at least 2 nukers. Going with just 1 can run you out of time...
 
My buddy's a PLD, so he's locked in.

However, he might just contribute an orb while me and another BLM nuke and sleep. Neat.

Thanks ^_^
 
Not that it applies to your situation because you're locked in with the PLD, but I thought I'd share what worked for me anyway.

I've only had 1 loss with RNG/NIN RNG/NIN RDM/WHM.

(One of the RNG decided that even though Fe'e had gravity stuck with a backup bind, that running away from taking a beating is a bad idea... and relied on the other RNG to WS to pull hate and died.)

RDM/WHM Grav & other token enfeebs Fe'e, and heals w/e little damage the two take and maintains blindna.

The two RNG spread equidistantly and just work do their thing, WS when time comes.

Never tried anything else, but gl w/your club. ^_^

PLD BLM RDM works too. Gravity/bind/kitewithPLD, BLM and RDM both nuke.
 
Ive done this BCNM 20+ times with a variety of setups. All of them have been with a PLD.

We mainly go with PLD, RDM, (insertwhatever).

No one has to 2 hour and its peice of cake. Go in buff up and have the paladin get hate. Have your rdm or blm drop poison 2 and bio 2. Let the PLD and the other job fight the mob till 50%.

At 50% it loses all its tentacles. SO have the PLD and whatever disengage and sleep 2 it. I have never seen him reset a sleep ever. Once he is slept rest up to full. It usually takes 2 sleeps to do this. He can be bound for a short period of time. So before he wakes bind him and sleep him again.

Once everyone is full on MP let it wake up and finish it off. Theres no need for kiting or anything. Ir really is the easiest fight I have seen.

I have never been able to land paralyze on him, and BIND and SLOW will land but are highly resisted.
 
I am afraid to let a PLD straight tank Fe'e while he still has all his tentacles. Doesn't he attack at hundred fists speed?
 
I was told a RDM/WAR can tank this well but I'm relatively terrified of trying. Anyone heard of this method?
 
He doesn't attack at hundred fist speed. It -can- attack a maximum of eight times in one round. After the tentacles are wounded, it will attack less. I don't know for sure, but I'm almost certain it goes 8>6>4>2>1. Even after all tentacles are removed, it can hit for ~200 and upwards of ~600. (I had to poke some fun and let it loose on RL Scwall who was dualboxing 2 BLM, it literally one shot our tarutaru)

I'm positive you can tank as RDM/WAR...if you don't let it near you. Gravity doesn't build resistance and lasts longer than the recast timer. If you find yourself in a sticky situation, simply Bind it.

I attempted to solo this ( as RDM/WHM -_-;;; ) and had it at around 20% HP remaining before time ran out. If I go as /BLM, more INT, and actually use Chainspell...I plan on success.

Pld can straight tank it no problem to about 60% but once he starts to go nuts it's kite/bind/sleep time. We tried Blm Pld Bst one run and didn't finish it off in time. Switched up to Rdm Pld Sam and ganked it no problem.
 
Did this 4 times yesterday with rdm/blm, sam/rng, and healer.

Too easy, rdm/blm keeps grav on it with occasion bind or sleep when needed and tosses thunder 2's at it.

Sam/rng kites it and unloads weaponskills at every opportunity.

Healer just tosses the occasion cure or blindna at sam/rng.

We kill it within 11-13 mins very easily.

Click to expand...

I've done it on several occations it works better than a PLD tank believe or not. I too had great doubts but my friend Ramzi insisted we do try it like so. He was the RDM/WAR.

RDM/WAR + RDM/BLM + BLU/NIN. Last time we had a BST instead of BLU. for the record if you ever have a BST, make sure he uses an exoray.

EDIT: To Dowzer.

No the RDM/WAR literally tanks it as a PLD would.
