I will say learning the fight with 3 melee is a clusterfuck.
You can do it with any DPS setup, especially if you have a healer who knows how to bait the Chaotic. I think caster LB on 2 adds > melee LB though. So dumb seeing PFs require a melee DPS.
So we solo tanked this tonight.
2x SCH for healing through the debuff. Stoneskin, MDB rotate, pretty easy tbh. Makes any DPS checks a complete and utter joke.
Dicked around with 3 healers 1 tank as well, having one blow shit up and just backup lustrate, made it even easier.
Fun doing things that weren't intended!
Ramuh rings supposedly getting bumped up to i110 in 2.38 according to this post.

Nice good info
This should actually get people to doing Ramuh. Heck I will do it just for an i110 tanking ring.
Oh great, now I'll actually have to learn how to do Ramuh instead of letting the quest rot in my quest log. Though just in case I'll wait until after patch in case they pull another Levi and have i100 and i110s
yes, only rings become 110
no idea why they did not make the rings 110 in the first place. Ramuh was a complete waste to kill outside of achievement, mount, housing item.. and the latter 2 have such a low drop rate its not worth to farm just for them
they didnt let the shit out with hunts when soldiery 100 was still the shit tho... so ramuh was a pretty good "off ring" even at 100 that time
but yea, if they planned for this, then it should have came with hunts
Glad I've already cleared this multiple times and can teach others to do it. If any BG hyperion need a tank or dps for it lemme know. Willing to do it outside raid time for people if I can spare the time. I enjoy the fight a lot.
Likewise, very familiar with the fight as MNK. Comfortable as SCH too.
I may hit ya'll up.
We are already talking about getting people Levi/Mog clears to unlock Levi in the FC (since people never got the drive to clear those fights)
Single tank strat with DPSing SCHs (and a WHM if you need one) makes this fight a lot easier to coordinate with new people. You can do the whole thing without the need for any voip, just 1-2 /party macros for tank and 1 for the SCHs.
I havent had much luck with the solo tank strat when Ive gone on SCH. I'm not sure if its me, or the other sch, or both. But at some point post-adds we run out of lustrates.
For that method is there ever a short window where the tank can drop overcharge and grab three orbs before the next Shock Strike? I always just assumed people took SCH to Lustrate through the stacks, but if there was a way, that would make things significantly easier, even if the timing is tight. Can collect close orbs in like 3s if you're slick.
There likely is, but youd have to time it far in advance to have it drop off at the right moment.
