| Re: How to make a Mannequin - By Saeriel I'm reluctant to share my strat with these as they're my Bread & Butter when it comes to making gil. I've done Crustacean Conundrum so many times my LS jokingly asked me, "When they see you walk into the BC, do they just fall over and die automatically?"
However, for Charming Trio, I would suggest WAR/MNK w/ Great Axe, DRG/WAR, and WHM. This can be done with 2 DRG/WARs and a WHM pretty easy as well. Food for the 2 Melee can be skipped as it does a Dispel Kiss, but I would suggest the two melees have 3 Hi-Pots per fight, and Regen Drinks would work VERY nicely. WHM needs Yagudo Drinks, and anything to increase their MP.
1) Main Tank (WAR/MNK or DRG/WAR with highest DEF/Eva) Provokes the Middle Leech. DRG Jumps it, and starts swinging away. (I've seen 150+ Jumps here.)
2) Main Tank calls out which Leech dies next when the 1st Leech is down to 15%. Same thing for the last one.
3) WHM stands back, cast Dia on the Leech that is being attacked. Make sure you don't Dia one and pull hate only to have it kill you.
Any DD can take the place of the DRG. I've done this with a PUP that didn't do so bad as the PUP could Provoke, Flash, and Stoneskin, but DD was much lower than DRG and Wyvern. But honestly DRG is best suited for this BCNM20. 2 DRGs set up is really nice! Nearly the same DEF as a WAR, good DD. I've seen 2 DRGs both Jump for 120dmg, then 170dmg Double Thrust x2 nearly killed the 2nd leech.
I'm considering trying this as 3 DRG/WHMs and see if you can't just drop them really fast with basically 6 people beating away. If only DRG could tell their Wyverns to fight one Leech while they kill another.
Either way, Mann. Hands are 100% Drop and sell for 650k to 850k on Lakshmi.  [font="Comic Sans MS"]Odude
