My static's fighting Black Shuck next week, and we've read through the strats, but had some questions. When BS howls, elementals will pop around him. Does ninjitsu make elementals aggro? I thought it would since its /ma "Utsusemi", but my friend is saying it won't cause them to aggro since it doesn't require any MP. Also, the strat we were going to attempt was, once BS spawns elementals, we were going to pull BS into the corridor and away from the eles. Once he howls again, the old ele's will despawn, and new ele's will spawn around him. We were then going to pull him back out into the main room to fight him away from the newly spawned ele's. Has anyone defeat black shuck, and is this the way you did it? If not, what did you do differently? Again, i've read the wiki strats, just checking with you guys...

Don't know about this NM at all but Ninjutsu spells will not result in magic-agro.

In case anyone cares, the strat we used to take out black shuck was nin/dnc x 3, mnk/nin, rdm/whm, whm/smn. The nin/dnc stored tp for when the ele's pop, once they do, no magic and the nin/dnc cure themselves thus taking the ele's out of the equation. After taking BS down 25%, the ele's despawn and the whm and rdm can begin healing again. The monk 2 houred once BS hit 5%. We won with ease on this strat.
