Has anyone tried this pre-magicnerf? I doubt the SMN Astral Flow trick works anymore, but I want an Emp. Hairpin and it's majorly camped still on Midgard(worse than the Gidd. NMs)

heh, I could do it with ya Neo, (& lucky me, I got an empress hairpin already =P) & whats this Astral Flow trick, the smnx3 blow up the guys in one hit thing?

This just made me think of something. I wonder how this will effect Sword Enhancing spells for BCNMs. The one I do with LS friend relies heavily on Enthunder. I wonder if this is going to cause problems with that. I'll have to give that a try soon and find out.

Another thing I'm curious about is if you can do 3 Astral Flows at once, it would most likely kill any and everything moving If you get them all off at the same time there won't be any time for the Elemental Resistance to even kick in. Would it?

Well, you could all use different avies, then the resistance wouldnt be a problem.

I've tried this bcnm pre nerf, let's just say, too many flys and they are already restiant to sleep >.< 3 failed tries before calling it quits.

9 Flies I belive, but after doing some testing, though Resistance kicks in reguardless of element, 3 spells isn't enough to be more that 100 damage variability

Casts Raise III on the thread...

Is there any way to do this fight without a summoner?

Akashimo · 09-15-2006, 01:39 PM

idk, maybe blu burn?
like 2 blu/blm ES + Sheepsong and kill off that way with 4 other dds

This has always been my theory on how to do this one but never tryed due too getting 6 bst togeather to do a bcnm like this is virtialy imposible.

Set up: 6x BST( variaty of /nin and /whm subs)

one bst goes first and gets a tiger to kite the bees, then the rest of the bst pull off one each to solo with thier pet of choice (bunny or sheep i dont think it matters), once you finish your first you get a seccond one till the bst is only kiting the (mega boss) then finish off all the lesser bees then all the bst consintrate on the main bee.
