So my LS friends and I have recently (last night and tonight) been attempting this BCNM60. We read up on it and prepared, and decided to go in with our own setup and strategy.
First run(s):
Setup was PLD(me), DRK, and WHM. Our strategy was to have the WHM heal me for the beginning (it attacks fast as hell at first) while I pop sentinel. About 10% hp down and it slows down enough to where I can start landing my own cures. After that the strategy was to DD, heal, and then sleep it when we got low on hp/mp. This was working until it was around 30% hp. It awoke, and I ended up dying, then the DRK, and the WHM managed to kite it until time was up.
After the first try we continued this strategy (trying to make it work) twice more. Getting set for the fourth run our WHM dc'd and never came back. Bummer.
So we called upon a BLM in our LS to come out and help. Strategy was similar to the first one. DRK DD'd, I tanked my ass off, and the blm mainly healed me at first. However, this was the interesting part. Since it was a blm, he had sleep II. Life saver. Using the strategy of DD/tank, sleep, rest, and recycle, we brought it down in seconds before the timer was up. This strategy worked for us another 2 times, each time we did better and better. About 70k gil in drops for everone, but no K club.
Second run(s):
This time we went in with our original PLD, WHM, DRK setup. First run was going very smooth until around 25% hp left when it begins to spam mad TP moves. Drk ended up pulling too much hate (only voke and mp too low) and he died. I followed suit shortly after. Obviously our WHM didn't stand much a chance after that.
Next run we went in with the same strategy, except we came up with the genius idea to have the our DRK use sleep II instead of WHM's elemental seal+sleep. With the mixed use of yagudo drinks and an x-potion, we got it down to under 30-40% hp before our DRK slept it. Rested and I voked when it woke. Our next step was for the WHM to 2hr when all of our HP got low, and I would 2hr directly after that. This next part is funny. Turns out WHM's 2hr had another 26mins on recast. So I just 2hr'd before I died and we went from there. Going good, going good; then one of his TP moves went thru invincible and killed me. DRK slept it and they rested. Soon as it got up, the DRK landed a huge drain, and the WHM cure IV'd him. From there it was all in the bag. DRK killed him shortly after and victory was ours. Got a raise III outside and lotted. Made a few thousand more gil but still no K club.
In the end we've decided to continue with future attempts on this BC. The DRK, PLD, BLM setup worked all too well, and the DRK, PLD, WHM setup took a little work, but it was all worth it. We had loads of fun and managed to create our own successful strategy and setup.
Anyone had any experiences with this BC? Wins, losses, rewards? Advice? Bashings? Flames? Congrats? I'm just kinda pumped up from all the excitement and wanted to post about it.
