My LS has done 3 Ultimas now and wiped 3 times. Every time we get it down to where he can start doing Citadel Buster, the countdown move, and everytime he spams it like 20 times and we end up wiping. Our PT setup is an 18 member alliance, Tank PT = 4 NINs or PLD/NIN, WHM, BRD; BLM PT = BLMs/SMNs/BRD; and DD PT= BLUs/DRKs/SAMs/Healer. We haven't had the exact same setup each of the three times so I didn't go into exact detail of the alliance makeup.

Is there a failsafe strategy for this part of the fight? We have no problems getting to this point at all. We try to do as many SC/MBs as we can. It just seems that all hell breaks loose when he starts spamming Citadel Buster 20x in a row.

Our strategy has been to have 1 tank engage Ultima and establish hate. Once he does this the DDs go in and start to SC, BLMs MB, and if we have any SMNs, they send in their Avatars. We try to keep this up until the Citadel Buster stage. I think we may have hate issues because whenever our BLMs try to stun a move it pulls hate, which shouldn't happen at all. I hope this enough to go on. I either go as WHM or BLM so I'm looking at things from 20 feet away.
