PM5-3 - Preparing for Snoll Tzar BC

[Takke.]

Hello everyone. I tried this BC one time with my static and we failed which wasnt suprising. Not because of the PT setup it was because we all were stressed and all the "stradegy" blew away. Like me as leader told the BLM's to cast Flare, instead one of my members said "Cast Freeze, because Snoll is weak against Blizzard", so I accepted that and gave it a shot and it turn out that Freeze < Flare. Both Freeze from each BLM did around 400+dmg ; ;

We did quite well on 1st run we brought him down to 14% before he blew up (Amazingly 1 of 6 members died during battle and it was the MNK who got one shoted by Snoll Tzar's 1000+ DMG single attack move) and we only used 1x salt. This upcoming Tuesday 14th Februari (Yeah Valentines day, I hope Snoll Tzar give us some love). We sceduled to re-fight Snoll Tzar again and aim to win this so we can move on to Chapter 6 and make quick trip to PM6-4 (Yeah Snoll Tzar is our last BC) of PM5-3.

For those who have beated this or those who also plan to do this BC, I would appriciate if you guys gave me some comment about my Static PT setup and our stradegy to pull off 8000~9000 DMG in 45~105sec.

Party Setup for PM5-3: Snoll Tzar BC

PLD/WAR
MNK/NIN
WAR/NIN
BLM/RDM
BLM/RDM
RNG/NIN

Basically when we enter the BC:

BLM + BLM: Cast Shellra + Protectra on party and blink/stoneskin on theirselves if they can use it at /RDMLV30
BLM + BLM: Use Reraise Hairpin (In case if they die)
Everyone in PT: Use DMG food (BLM's = INT food, Melee: ATK Food)
Everyone in PT: Med up to max and start to get ready (No rush)

When everyone have done stuff listed above:

Everyone in PT move to the spot (Where BLM's have cast range)
MNK: Start to Boost, when he come's up to 10th Boost
BLM + BLM: Elemental Seal + Flare
BLM + BLM: At 10s on their casting (Have a <call> macro)
MNK: Get his 12th Boost and use Chi Blast
WAR: Use Shu'Meyo Salt
PLD: Run in and Provoke + Flash + 2h
PLD: Use the Shu'Meyo Salt (As soon WAR is done with his)

By the time the 2x Flare should land on Snoll Tzar

BLM + BLM: Manafont --> Firaga 2 --> Fire 2 --> Firaga 2 --> Fire 2 --> Firaga 2 --> etc --> etc
WAR: Icarus Wing --> Mighty Strikes --> Rampage --> Keep doing DMG for 2nd Rampage
MNK: Icarus Wing --> Raging Fist --> Hundred Fist --> Keep doing DMG for 2nd Raging Fist
RNG: Icarus Wing --> Slug Shot --> Barrage --> Slug Shot ---> Eagle Eye Shot --> Keep doing DMG for 3rd Slug Shot
PLD: During the time Invinsible is gone try to Cure the wounded people and try to get hate back with hate routine as PLD

Our first 1st was similiar, but the BLM's cast Blizzard element spells instead of Fire elements. And basically me as PLD was so stressed that I rush in and engaged Snoll Tzar (We lost like 5-10secs here on this part) and the BLM's didnt even have time go halfway trough their casting. And we only used 1x Shu'Meyo Salt.

So my question is, you guys think the BLM's can start to cast Flare without aggroing Snoll Tzar? Even if they stand in cast range position

If you guys have tips from your previous Snoll Tzar BC run please share them with me and the other here in this community. I really appriciate all help I can get before the showtime.

Peace

Hello,

Me and some of my linkshell friends did this yesterday, and for our 1st try we got it down to 1% !!!!!!!!!!! We SHOULD have won! I will explain what we did and what went right and what went wrong, hope it helps

Party setup

SMN/WHM -- ME
BLM/WHM
RDM/BLM
RNG/WRA
PLD/WAR
SMN/WHM -- level 55 (possible difference)


We got in.... i casted reraise..... summoned Diabolos, gave us that buff that enchances magic.... rested.... summoned fenrir.... gave us ecplictic growl for attributes boost.... other summoner casteb barblizzara.... rest....

Both summoners took out IFRIT...... we went.... we aligned... and activated astral flow.... the battle will last 45 or so seconcs.... so activatinng astral flow a few seconds before aggroting the bomb wont matter since its lats 3 minutes.

Anyway... the second the paladin voked and invicibled.... both summoners sent out ifirt and immediatley casted inferno..... once that i IMMEDIATLEY took out fenrir... and took a hi-either+1 then another..... i waited for 120 mp immediatley casted ifirt again.... and did inferno again...... by tihs time... the ranger had already been doing barrage, slug shot etc.... the red mage was doing chain spell fire 2 like crazy..... and the blm was also nuking like crazy..... we got it down to 1%

What went wrong?

1. We did not have salt
2. The othyer summone was only level 55, wich i think his bp was not as strong as mine, and since his main job is not summoner.. he scred up.. and after his first astral flow he did NOT put ifrit away to dink eithers for recats... so we were 1 astral flow short....

Hope it helps!

salt?

I guess Snoll Tzar gave us some love during yesterday's Valentines Day. We pretty much killed him and he didnt have a chance to grow to 2nd form.

Basically our 2 BLM's tried to have cast range, but instead they tried to get cast range and ended up aggroing Snoll Tzar. Our MNK had already boost up like 10 times and he was the first one who engaged with Chi Blast, our WAR directly used Shu'Meyo Salt = The time during Snoll Tzar aggro didnt count against us.

I Flash -> Provoke -> Full Swing and MNK did Raging Fist = Fusion and the 2x Flare did MB. Talk about lucky timing. I directly used 2h to keep hate and I saw my WAR was done with his Shu'Meyo Salt, so I basically used my salt. When my salt was done the Snoll Tzar was already dead ^^.

Our MNK had parser program on and counted the DMG in total during whole fight

BLM = 2500
BLM = 2400
RNG = 1500
MNK = 1500
WAR = 1000
PLD = 96

That was the total amount, dont have the specific numbers but one of our BLM was so happy because he did the most dmg of all and laughed at me becaused I did 96 DMG in total =P

This fight is easy if you have organisation, structure and have planned this fight in before hand.

Now my static is preparing for PM6-4, one of the toughest battle in game. Our team spirit is quite good right now and hope for a win. But the battle wont take place till next week ^^
