Warrior on CoP 6-4

[TheMainMan]

Ive got 6-4 coming up soon and im gonna be using warrior to beat it. Just wondering what subjob and weapon is best use. I have Axe and greataxe both capped and /nin and /sam as available subjobs.

Also will I be better using sushi or will I be able to pull off meat. This is my gear setup;

Main: Dark Steel Axe+1 / Offhand. Viking Axe
Main: Lvl 59 Gaxe (cant remember the name)
Head: S. Turban
Neck: Chiv Chain
Ear: Fang Earrings
Body: Haurbergeon
Hands: Fourth Gaunlets
Rings: 2x Woodsman
Back: Jaguar
Waist: Potent Belt
Legs: Royal Knights Breeches
Feet: AF

Do you have any axe or G.axe merits? What are your other jobs that are going? Are you going to try and SC + MB during the fight? Thats all going to factor which weapon/food/whatever you will want to use during the fight.

I did this before /SAM was really viable, but if you have capped Marksmanship you can help a lot by popping Ultima and Omega with Acid bolts. Had my SAM heterolifepartner smacking them with Demon Arrows when we'd get knocked back and it made a big difference.

No reason to not sub nin imo. /Sam will leave you pretty much defenseless when you pull hate (which you will) and you will get hammered by guided missile (I think thats the name) which is absorbed by shadows. Unless you have a really defensive mage line and need a tiny bit more damage in exchange for needing to be healed a lot more i wouldn't even consider /sam.

I did this before the 2h update using axes which worked great but now I would say use Gaxe unless you have merits in just axe. If I remember right meat was fine. Bring an icarus wing for RR > RR with 2hour.

I've done this a few times with war/nin, dual axes is fine. War/nin is also an excellent tank for the mammets in the beginning (if you're using the method of NIN solo holding them and then voking them off one at a time) and helps the main nin tank out immensely with shadows when you get hit with chemical bombs. And yes, shadows will eat all the AoE moves. WAR's my favourite melee to take on 6-4 to be honest, never lost with a solid NIN+ WAR/NIN duo in the team.

I did it as WAR, have to sub NIN for AoE 2 shadow move and you'll occasionally have to move out of range to cast or to save a bit of MP.

[Tsuko_Asura]

As its been said, sub Ninja. Even with Utsu, you'll likely be needing to move out of range occasionally, without it would just be MP(and enmity) suicide.

And Vigs, you should see a PLD RNG RNG trio against it. Definitely my personal favorite for that fight.

[Midnightjade]

Definitely /NIN, due to the AoE flying around, and potential hate issues. We did this as WAR/NIN MNK/NIN NIN/WAR RDM/BLM WHM/BLM BRD/WHM last year and it was ok with that setup. We tried a dry run, and it started going so well that we just kept going and won handily. Most difficult part was finishing off Omega when he started to speed up, Elegy + Slow + CCB worked nicely and then we had one of the melee 2hr to close him out. Ultima is not as bad so long as you have a WHM and they're on their game.

Hope this helps, best of luck.

Thanks for replys guys, exactly what I was looking for. I cant comment on what setup i'm gonna go with because I use pickups for almost everything in this game.
