BCNM Sky Orb lvl 30 <Do You Need It?>

Re: BCNM Sky Orb lvl 30 <Do You Need It?>

My guess is that it is similar to how they keep alive in the mini avatar fights. Set the avatar to melee the mob(s) and run as far away as possible. When the avatar dies, resummon. The mobs should have to run quite a distance, so the SMN can get the avatar back up.

Yeah, well, its in the orc hut or whatever, and theres not much room to run around in there... =p

How often did the Lizzard Killer effect kick in?

It varied with each battle, but it was noticable. The steak was expensive, but 10k is a small investment for a chance at Leaping Boots and Utsusemi: Ni.

how would the smn stay alive after the first aerial blast? /nin & try to keep the summon alive?

Re: BCNM Sky Orb lvl 30 <Do You Need It?>

I did this BCNM with a couple of LS mates last night and I thought I would post how we did. The set up was RDM/BLM to Kite, WAR/MNK(me) to Tank, and RDM/NIN to heal/enfeeb/nuke. We went 2/3 and didn't get any good drops. =P Mages had ethers and Yag Drinks, I had Au Laits and hi-pots. The kiter ate Gob Chocolate for the Lizard Killer effect, the other RDM ate a pie for more MP, and I had a Bison Steak (Lizard Killer and atk food).

A few tips: WARs - go Great Axe over Axe. Misses hurt more, but the Weapon Skills are so much better it more than makes up for it. I pulled of a 322 Sturmwind! I also used Acid/Bloody bolts and I think it helped out a great deal. Most people will tell you that you have to be /NIN as a Tank in this, but I am proof you do not. You just have to be well prepared as I was with Au Laits and some Hi-pots and the Bloody Bolts.

Re: BCNM Sky Orb lvl 30 <Do You Need It?>

This can be soloed with 1 SMN. 2 x Aerial Blast drops both Lizzies

Or the other combo we use is 1 RDM/NIN to kite, 2 BLU/NIN to spam Bludgeon and Head Butt.

Re: BCNM Sky Orb lvl 30 <Do You Need It?>

If i do this bcnm i do it with 2bst/nin and 1 rdm/nin but since you only have war leveled il explain the standerd 2war/nin and 1rdm/nin strategy.

Once you get into the bcnm rdm buffs then heals to full, once your ready rdm gravity and bind kites the right lizzy while the 2 war/nin takes the left one, generaly you just try to keep shadows up and dual blink tank it, using hi-pots to recover hp since your rdm is busy kiting if you can try to turn around for the petrifing move but 80% of the time il still get you, once your done with the first lizzard you can go after the next one and the rdm can help you out with cures and debuffs now. Once the 2nd lizzy is dead hope for a gun belt or leaping boots.

If for some reason you level bst to do this its exactly the same as the above strategy but you get a tiger to tank and try not to take hate, if you do just make sure someone else takes hate off you after your 6 shadows are down

Good luck ^^

can be done by 1 rdm and w/e melee/nin

Re: BCNM Sky Orb lvl 30 <Do You Need It?>

i just did this bcnm 4 times with some ls buddies and its actually easier then a lot of people say it is...the only requirement is to have 1 rdm and one /nin...in my case we had

rdm/whm
drk/nin
drg/war

rdm kited the right lizard with bind and slow and what not while drk and me (drg) killed the left, with the drk/nin shadow tanking it (utsusemi) once it was dead we simply moved on to the remaining lizard....that easy

the only food that was used was mana regen for rdm...we didnt have any paralyze resist or lizard killer food...still did fine

I read a site that suggested Blinding Potions, but I'm not sure how useful that would be.

Re: BCNM Sky Orb lvl 30 <Do You Need It?>

How about this:

Hobgoblin Chocolate

* HP Regeneration While Healing +7
* Lizard Killer
* Resist Petrify

Actually a Damn good idea!!! It can't hurt and most definetly will help, 2 thumbs up!!

Re: BCNM Sky Orb lvl 30 <Do You Need It?>

Re: BCNM Sky Orb lvl 30 <Do You Need It?>

Those look nice but I have no idea how strong the effect of those is, you could try it out on lizards EP-EM and see how often it kicks in before wasting seals.
