| Re: CoP 4.2 - a failed manaburn attempt You can manaburn Ouryu relatively easily, but you need BLMs who are smart and coordinated.
RDM/BLM + 3xBLM + anything should work, but you need to know how to deal with him when he's flying. Get Gravity on him and keep him Dispel/Finale'd until someone can nab him with a Mistmelt.
In actuality, though, the safest tactic I've heard of is to just use Summoners against him. He can't really hurt Garuda, so 3+ Summoners with MP recovery backup (COR, BRD or RDM) can toast him pretty handily, just have to watch out and not be near while he's flying to avoid ugly things like Bai Wing and Ochre Blast.
If you really must do the manaburn thing, use 3 BLM + RDM + 2 others. This battle IS doable with 3 nukers and a RDM who have decent gear. Don't rush, bring mistmelts - at all costs you have to keep him from using Bai Wing and/or Ocher Blast, bring potions/drinks, and keep your cool (oh, and spread out a bit so you don't get nailed by a stray AoE Stonega II).
