Chamber of Oracles BCNM No cap strategy?

[Ariagiovanni]

Last night we went as a full party of 75's to this BCNM. It was no cap using Atropos Orb. We go in and it's just one manticore..... so I figure that this is gotta be an easy fight, especially with a 75BRD, 75BLM, 75NIN, 75THF, 75WAR, 75WHM. Wrong. APparently the entire fight this manticore uses Blood Weapon + Hundred Fists. Whenever it hit the ninja it would hit for about 200 damage, and drain all 200. Just imagine that with hundred fists. Out of 6 orbs we only one once (on mine, yay) and our strategy was mambo mambo on melee and hope for the best. After 22 minutes (YES 22!) we killed him. Even after our one win, we weren't able to win on the others.

Does anyone have a clear strategy for this? The clear time was 8 minutes when we entered and we got 22 minutes lol. Anyone?

Kite/Nuke/Stun/Dead

Sounds like the normal HNM strat...

6 ninjas alternating blink tanking, with swords so they can all charge to 300% TP and then use Spirits Within?

5x blm 1x brd? Sleep mob, nuke with ancient, sleep again, regain mp and repeat.

>.> ohh ya forgot ffxio had that..

Anyways.. strat to use when it does Blood weapon/100 fists.

Rdm/Drk 75/37... Chainspell and Stun. It will really help a lot. I havent fought this yet.. but does this manticore do that annoying as hell Max MP Down ability? Cause when kiting it's really bad to pull it within range of mages for AoE. ><;

My friend won this 4 out 5 times with NIN/WAR, DRK/???, MNK/???, RDM/BLM, WHM/SMN, BRD/RDM, and I don't think they did anything unorthodox.
