Best BCNM to do with 3 people

[HexiumVII]

I have 3 friends and between us we have some 2000 beastman seals to burn and make room and hopefully make some gil. Our jobs are:

Player 1 75 Blm,Smn 60rmd
Player 2 75s Whm, Blm 60 bst
Player 3 74 Brd

What would be a good BCNM to do? We are planning to get a bunch of jobs to ast least 37 so we can maybe do a bunch of bcnm level 30 or 40s

I would suggest the 3 bats BCNM20.

Have Player 1 be SMN, Player 2 be BST, and Player 3 be BRD.

I would suggest doing this:
Have Player 1 Charm a little bat and sic it on the big bat, while Player 2 sends a summon (possibly Carby) on the remaining little bat. Have the BRD help out both. Don't know for sure if that would work, as this is just a guess.

Regardless, good luck.

Well, if the bard's an excellent kiter, try BCNM 40: Horlais Peak: Under Observation.

Bard pulls the main eye and kites while Blms bind the little guys and -ga, and keep -ga'ing.

Kill the little guys and then beat the tar out of the big eye.

Royal Jelly is painfully easy, went 3/3 on it the other day when only the rdm had done it.

There are seven (eight?) Princess Jelly and you have to stop them from reaching the center. The rdm essentially starts casting bind and sleep from right to left on the jellies while the other two members start killing the jellies from left to right. They die fast but we haven't tested their resistance to magic yet, I do know that one ws like Raging Axe can one shot them or bring them really close to death.

You mean cast Bind and Gravity, right? I'm pretty sure those jellies are resistant to sleep.

Anyway, did this BC with this setup:

MNK/WAR
DRK/NIN (me)
WHM/BLM

Average fight length of time was about 8 minutes. Princess jellies took less than a minute each to kill, but due to not having Gravity in addition to Bind (Lengthy recast and the fact that a WHM has a lower potency with Bind versus a RDM or BLM) made it impossible to keep Queen from spawning.

However, even when it did spawn, it was {Too Weak} Provided you have a healer that knows what he/she is doing, even the fight with the queen wasn't too bad. I was averaging 170 Raging Axe (Over 200 with Souleater on) against the Princess Jellies. My favorite BC, by far, but last night luck wasn't with us, even during Full Moon.

I have done that bcnm about 24 times. Most of the time is Drg/war x 2 with Rdm/blm. Any melee works though. I have only gotten archers twice and that was back to back. Gotten alot of NI and erase. We always wanted to let the jellies come to the middle but I guess we just arent patient enough. Double Thrust takes away more than half of jellie's life so they dont last too long. Fights are around 4-5 minutes depending on how much one of the drgs gets bound.

It depends on how well the melee player plays his/her job and if they're equipped. I apologize ahead of time to my friend, but man (RNG/NIN) she was hardly doing any damage against the jellies and I still don't understand how. Myself, DRK/NIN, in comparison, I was able to pump out 3 times more damage. And my ranged attacks were much more accurate. I mean, wtf?
