| Re: CoP 6-4 - From A Healer's View OK it took a while (one of my two static partners had a computer meltdown) but we set out to beat this mission again last night. Our third try, two friends of mine who were on their first run, and the founder of my Dynamis/COP linkshell who beat this one a while back. We deliberately did one practice run (where we used absolutely no meds) and one all-out run.
Party Setup:
WHM/BLM (myself)
NIN/WAR
RDM/WHM
BLM/WHM
DRG/WAR
MNK/WAR
In addition to the complement of med tanks, vile elixirs, CCBs, Yellow Liqs and food/drinks we used the last time, all of us got RR Hairpins/Gorgets - even myself to save us time and MP. I also brought 2 stacks of mulsum, and the BLM brought four flasks of walahra water!. Part 1 - The Mammets
Practice run : Cheese.
All-out run : Cheese.
Total time on this section : 5 minutes, including cutscenes. Part II - Omega
Knowing what was coming, I prepared a special macro set to include Paralyna, Stona, Erase, Cure 3 & 5 (Cure 4 is way too much hate), Haste and Regen 2.
On the dry run, we got Omega down to about 50%. As expected, once the nasty attacks started things went downhill fast. We wiped out and exited at this point to prepare for the all-out run.
The second time through, things went a lot smoother. We got Omega down to about 5% when some nasty bits of luck and timing caused us to wipe. However, we got back up, rested until unweakened (to save some time, when we shook off weakness I used my Benediction to get everyone up quickly, then we tossed a flurry of nukes including a Flare from our BLM to finish this part.
Total time on this section: about 13 minutes, including the second cutscene and weakness time. Part 3 - Ultima
We knew what needed to be done here, so we took it easy and slowly worked through the first 50% of Ultima's HP. Once we started seeing Nuclear Waste going off, we broke out a CCB and the MNK and DRG unleashed their 2hrs and brought the pain. The MNK went down first, followed by the RDM and then me. We had Ultima to about 10% when we wiped, and we still had the BLM and RDM 2hrs left, with well over 10 minutes to go. We rose up, waited for weakness to fall off, then I tossed off a DS Curaga 3 and everyone popped ethers to fill our MP for the final assault. BLM did Manafont/ES/Flare first, then just before he cast the RDM broke Chainspell -ga2 and Tier 3 nukes to end the fight before Omega could get off another Antimatter hit.
