Thankfully, most people won't do that anymore and generally farm subligars from Sacrarium instead of Aquaducts. If I know a Sacracrium mission is coming, I'll hop on the first Swift Belt run I see and play whatever role is needed. Then I play my two characters through the mission, stuffing one behind the door you have to open twice. This way, no one else in my party has to build hate on the mission by killing Fomors but me and then I just solo the fomor hate off as BST/THF and make some gil killing the beastmen in the process.
BTW, since you're on 4-2, I'll pass this info along. The items to make the Mistmelts for that mission also happen to drop off the Grauberg Hippogryphs in Grauberg (S) in addition to the Riverne zones. Much easier to take a group of 75s to Grauberg and get the tailfeathers there, though I've found them soloable as BST in the 40 cap Riverne zone.
Either way, you can get the job done and save some gil by not having to buy the mistmelts off AH.
Ouryu is honestly a big pushover. Lots of people have problems simply because they don't dispel, put up Barstonra and then panic when they run out of mistmelts. I've taken this guy down with every imaginable setup. Last time I didn't even have a BLM for the run, but SCH did his job just fine
In fact the setup was PLD, WAR, BLU, COR, SCH, RDM. Told the BLU to keep the stuns on him, RDM to keep up Barstonra, SCH to keep cures and nukes even, WAR and PLD to play it normal and for all to disengage during Invincible. I maintained Sleeps with Light Shot and dispelled Stoneskin whenever it came up so RDM could focus on Barstonera and healing.
Went very smooth. Ouryu's spells didn't even bring big damage to us. Didn't even use all the melts I farmed feathers for. Made a 10k profit on the mission instead of operating at a loss.
