OK, so we had two different groups do the Airship fight.
Setup was WHM, NINx2, RNG, MNK, BRD
My group was first, we made it to Omega and we wipe, I probably could have shaved a minute a few minutes off first fight had I realized how much damage I was actually doing to them as RNG. I was holding back for more TP when I probably shouldn't have, seeing as Sidewinder can drop a mammet at 50% with Minuet x2 or meat active.
We get to Omega and wipe at 50% on him.
2nd time we clear the mammets quickly, much faster with me dropping three of them at 50%. We get to Omega, BRD gets haste on NINs, Minuet x2 for me and ballads WHM. One of the NIN gets a freak death toward the end, we kill off Omega anyway. We recover next fight, same strategies as before. We beat Ultima.
Now 2nd group goes, Still NINx2, WHM, BRD and MNK. I sit out so SAM/RNG can go instead.
1st try, they wipe to mammets
2nd try, they wipe to mammets
3rd try, they take 10 mins to beat mammets, kill omega at time out at 5% on Ultima.
4th try, they wipe to mammets. I note that the SAM/RNG is using a lightining bow and scorpion arrows. /slap. I got get my War Bow +1 out of Mog and give him a quiver of Demons. Its my 50 cap bow, but much better than what he had.
5th attempt, BRD has to go and it would take time for me to set up my other character for AS fight, so I just ask the WHM to get some Yag drinks. We go in and its clear all the mammets are set to apeshit BLM mode at the start. NIN kite goes down after we kill second mammet and it all goes down hill from there.
SAM/RNG didn't even pop the demon arrow quiver, much less use ranged attacks. He also tried kiting mobs after the NIN went down and was the second to die. I'm thinking it was partly the SAM's fault and mostly bad luck on the mammet job setting. Could also have been that in that very last instance, NIN had no Marches on him since BRD had to leave. But they did fine on Omega and Ultima.
I'm moving on with the winning group to Ch. 7 tonight for now, but planning another AS run for the other group this week. To be fair, my group was the static group and the 2nd group consisted of LS members who came to help or just came and went from the static as they needed missions. You know, rather than stick with the static. So maybe my group just had better chemestry.
