Lv40 BCNM proposal

[darick]

I've been eager to get more money due to many unlucky reason and also wanted to improve my skill at this game. I've done some homework on the BCNM onion head thingy...

So far...i can't really come up with exact strategy yet because i still donno who's goin to come yet...Eviled and many other peeps who had experience from these fight knows what to do next
I'd like to have experienced people come along with the fight since most importers are still new to BCNM fights...

There're 8 of them
1 blm and 7 whm thingys...

the blm knows ancient magic...with deal about 700+ damage (i died in one hit from it last time TT)

Some more info will be discuss if more people wanted to do it together

here's wat i've observed so far....

pld, brd, whm are must in the pt line up

i would prefer mnk's 2hr for another tank in the pt...

Bst sub is must!!! still lookin for bst that can survive a few hits...

last time i went...our mnk subed bst


anyways...plz leave a post if interested...
i just wanted to know who's interested and we'll talk about the strategy later on

Vexx aka ecko..i recommand you to do some homework since the fight is not easy to fight 7 tsuyo and 1 tote at the same time

I'm also expect to win this fight...

[Awntawn]

Level 45 DRK here if you need one. My equip's still, conveniently, all level 40 I can also sub THF for backstab and to increase chances of refresh drop if you need, but I think taunt is more crucial?

Syara I have no idea what happened to our previously planned one... guess we kinda forgot about it hehe

Anyways, I got the whole week off (spring break) name a time

[ShadowHeart]

Lv. 50 Blm here ^^ !

[Yuna]

[VeXx]

Humm.. i think darick did it already not sure tho but i really want to join and i found some stuff out about BCNM if i stop lvling my blm i can be lvl 47 at least by friday maybe even lvl 50 @@ not to sure tho wouldn't promise anything but still let me know if i can help at all i mean i want to get some items to (will i get any). or should i just lvl blm i can hold my own BCNM when i get to the right lvl anyways but let me know if am higher lvl if i can help.

*sniff sniff i dont think u can tame those white thingys no more after the patch

so might as well fight them as is...TT
your lv dont matter...you're goin to be capped at lv40 anyways at the fight...

i still dont know how this will go as importer pt...if the mages are not fast enough...we could all die real fast...just to beware

[Jonnyram]

I want to join for sure... RDM40/BLM20.

We should discuss tactics though since the BST trick seems impossible now.

There are two ways we can have a bash at it...

#1 is an all out attack on the black mage first, the whites shouldn't cause too much trouble after that but they will really slow down killing the black if they keep curing him.

#2 we kill the whites first to make the black easier. This is my preferred method or we will be wasting time / MP on the black mage. But we need to do everything we can to stop the black mage casting magic. Does he have silence resistance? My advice would be to paralyze, silence then sleep while we attack the white mages. If we take a combo of 3 melees and 3 mages (1 white, 1 black and 1 red - me).

The mage combos could/should be WHM/BLM BLM/WHM and RDM/BLM. WHM/BLM uses sign of spirits and casts definite paralyze, RDM/BLM uses sign of spirits and casts definite silence, BLM/WHM uses sign of spirits and casts definite sleep. While this is happening the melees attack the same white mage and kill it hopefully. Melees work their way around the white mages, mages do curing and cast paralyze/silence on the white mages.

As long as the black mage turnip doesn't resist our status attacks, it could work. The question then is, which melees do we take? I personally don't think a bard is too essential here. The white turnips won't be doing huge damage, especially if we take a paladin. It might be a good idea for paladin to use special straight away, and also have red and black use special early on, too.

i've thought of not doing the battle after patch since I wanted to lv up some more...but i still kept all my lv40 equips...

Since now we got some people that are willing to discust about the battle method (jonny) We can rearrange it again for future battle..(i've already traded the coins for mirror) Far's method is good but I dont suppose there's a guarantee win...and battle changes and it might not the same as Far's previous team faces...plus..the tweaks that square-enix did to brd and bst to make it harder on us TT...

I would definately go for blm first...flood do a lot fo damage (reminds me of fallen mage doin nearly 800 damage on me) and other ancient magic it might cast...

We still have time..so we have to get the team together to work this out i suppose

[Jonnyram]

Going for the black first, I think white should cast paralyze while black casts shock (reduce MND) and red casts bio. After that, all three use sign of spirits and cast their strongest black magic on black while the melees just lay in physically. If we go down that route, it would definitely be advisable for BLM use special straight away to kill the black turnip asap, WHM and maybe RDM will have to concentrate on curing BLM as he will get the most hate. After black turnip is dead, BLM casts area spells on all the whites, RDM and WHM try to silence/paralyze them and the melees just kick ass.

Reckon that'd work? We might have an MP problem at some stage using this method though. If WHM has to use Blessing, we should definitely get a PLD to cast invincible.

If there are any future trips planned, and spaces left, I'd like to go (WHM56)

[Yuna]

I am organizing a PT to go fight BCNM. All we are waiting for is some of our members to level to 40 (including me). So far we have:-

1. Me BLM/WHM
2. Jonnyram RDM/BLM
3. Wolfie WHM/SMN
4.
5.
6.

slots 4, 5 & 6 are open. we need a PLD, WAR, and a THF

i will trade the orb soon. if you're interested in helping please reply to post. i will try to provide everyone with the necessary items like food, potions, etc

[Jonnyram]

I'm not trying to be weird or anything, but how would a Summoner work in this fight? Wouldn't it be better for Wolfie to sub BLM so we have an extra "spirits' sign" to use?
