Lowman CoP Missions upto Chapter 5

[tyalangan]

I have two friends that recently joined the game but don't have a good social network. Basically, I was wondering if a 3-4man all the way to chapter 5 was plausible? I know Ch. 5 and later needs probably full parties especially chapter 6 but was hoping I could trio it with my friends and mule till then.

Promies
aqueducts-taurus NM
Mammets
Diablo
Ouryu
Kermet
Old Professer (ghost)

That's mainly what I want to focus on b/c I just don't know if it's possible to get to the airship fight with that low of number after chapter 4. If anyone has attempted lowman strats or have any ideas for me on jobs/strats... I would really appreciate it!

2 WARs and a WHM can do the Promies

NIN & WHM can do Aqueducts

Mammets not sure, probably 2 NIN & WHM, have 1 NIN aggro kite 2, have NIN & WHM duo one at a time

Diablos and Ouryu not sure tbh

Kermet NIN & RDM or WHM can duo

Old Professor probably 2-3, I'd think would be okay if they cleared the room and popped right after, to avoid repops that could aggro

A group of friends just did all of 3 Paths with 5 without any trouble, PLD WAR WAR RDM WHM

2 WARS and a WHM for promies if you have like 8 of all those animas. Without those it seems a little farfetched to 3 man promies. Everything else last poster said sounds about right.

Yeah I was assuming Anima would be used

[tyalangan]

Thx, ya definitely will be using anima. No reason to avoid free help.

I think I saw a video a while back where a rdm(?) solo'd diablo. Can't remember tho so don't quote me. I'll have to find that again.

My group manaburned Ouryu however many years ago but that was with 6. I really don't see how that one's gonna work.

Promies - covered
aqueducts-taurus NM - soloable by nin/dnc
Mammets - covered
Diablo - duoable by nin + brd, nin should make inventory space and pop a hi potion tank beforehand. Nightmare range is 20', brd can stay out most of the time and wake nin up(use hi potions to compensate for bio), his hp is pretty piddly so if you aren't retarded at tanking it's np
Ouryu - RDM WHM BRD NIN with mistmelts, probably doable with less if you manaburn idk
Kermet - get someone to bring key
Old Professer (ghost) NIN or PLD x3, RDM, BRD - One nin or pld to a mob, people doing adds should still engage main.. nin preferable imo to avoid drain and not have to DD with defender up

Bst can solo Minotaur (not sure how, but my crazy Bst friend did it, said hardest part after familiaring the eye was timing heels to avoid the doom, still nuts), didn't know Nin/Dnc could.

Nin can solo the Mammet's (old joke where due to a friend of mine being much better at nin/better equipped than the other 2 we had, he wound up killing his in time to get the next from a dead nin, kill it, and get the last one, killing all three himself) if they're bad ass, and ninja's are totally bad ass.

BST can solo Kermet.

1 BST should also be sufficient for the Old Professor. Let a familiared IT hecteye run after it (remember to feed it). It'll go down fast. 1 or 2 other people should assist or pull the pops away.

I can't remember what pet, but I thought it was a slime for some reason. You basically send your familiared VT+ pet and place yourself behind your pet but in front of the minotaur. That way when you heel, your pet turns around. The timing is fairly tight so you basically should just camp your heel command.

Oil slick! Thats what it was.

He said he used a couple foods, and had to use juices to keep himself cured/poisonad, so that would explain it.

I'd expect Ouryu with a rdm/nin & blm x3 would do it really easily. Probably cope with rdm, blm x2 and a leech to toss the mistmelts so you can land him for sleepytime.
