Bahamut V2, Quick-None melee Way

[Zidiane]

Well, as the demand for items off BahamutV2 grow for my linkshell i want to to do more per-night rather then the one TP burn.

We've killed it once betfore with the blm burn but the TP burn was well >.> Too easy to pass up and the length of the blm burn was quite long as well.

Do any other linkshells do 4-5 per night, in a quickish time scale without brining just extra rdm/drks to lock it while a single bard 2hrs mins for each of the runs.

My question is, If your linkshell does multiple BahaV2 per night, How does do you do it and what is your strat.
Secondly, Is blm burn or Smn burn better in your opinion? (Myself i would say blm burn seing as soon as a wynm flys, there is little a smn can do about it except neither blast).
Thirdly, If you've done a blm burn before of bahaV2, which type of tanks did you use and what set up for the rest of the ally.

I used the search function to see if there was anything like this but it came up with 500 results on weps stats, to drop racios, to melee burn strat but nothing on diffrent none melee ways. I might of missed something then again it is 10 to 2 in the morning. Thanks in advance for any replys.

You just shot my response down

[Therin]

I don't think you're going to be able to do 4-5 without either bringing a lot of people for extras or manaburning.

This. You really only need 3 BRD, 2 RDM/DRK, and depending on how well geared your melee are, you could honestly get away with 6 and do it safely.

[Zidiane]

Its pretty safe to say we don't need to use 2hrs (Melee's). Most are well geared, Ridill war or BB mnk. Last time trying with only x2 Rdm/drk, saw bahamut get off a flare or two which wasn't the best. Tho maybe those rdms were lagging idk.

Anyway thanks for the responces. I guess 6 Rdm/drk and rotate them xD (2 in each round)

[fishstix]

For a blm burn, we used a nin/drk in fire resist gear, not using stun in his spell rotation. I think we had a pld/nin for backup and whm whm rdm brd in the tank party. The rest of the alliance was something like blm 4x, rdm/drk, brd and blm 4x rdm thf/drk. The thf/drk's sole purpose is for Treasure hunter and stunning firaga4, counting how many stuns he does, since it starts building resists after some point. I think we chainspell stunned vrtra. We didn't win many, so there's probably a better setup/strat.

[Zidiane]

Thats news to me that he builds resitance to stun.. I think i would def use a pld/nin over a nin/drk. Rampart and other nice JA's pld have over nin for a fight like this.

Recently tho, Sch is good for tank party? Looking at its buffs, it can be a sub whm and buff a tank np.
I was thinking for trying a blm burn style as this kinda set up.
Tank - Pld/nin x2 (One back up), Bard/whm(or/nin?), Whm/sch, Sch/rdm, Rdm/drk.
Second and Third partys - Blm/rdm(or /whm?), Bard and Rdm/drk with in the third party having a thf (sub idk).
Having the second sub tank claim a Wyrm pop and hold while it was nuked down.

Questions tho, For blms, Super Int set up on gear or reg mab set up? Also Wait till they fly to nuke them down orr all out from the start?
Bards /nin or /whm, seince Pianasso (sp) is out ide asume whm but i dont know what others have experienced.

Fire resist is a must for both tanks, but sub set MDB set also for a wyrm if it flys? (For the adds)

Also what recomended sub for the thf? I can't really belive /drk would be good for a thf seing there stun has a high chance of resist.


Ninja Edit: Can sch songs do anything for resistance? I.e Same as weather can give a 10%- to his potency? I.e Water weather cast on a tank?
Ninja Edit#2: Fire resist for tanks, 300+ should give enough fire resist or need 330+?

He doesn't resist stun until he's been stunned a bunch. 20ish times?

When i did this i was thf and i saw the blms nuking right away. You want to kill them ASAP. Also, i subbed war to voke the adds on thf when we did it blm style.

BRD's you can get away with 3ish, extras don't hurt however. Have one use SV each fight, should be fine. For the whole 30sec win thing, DRK is awesome, but for consistency (aka, doing 4 or 5 in an evening) RNG is pretty much king in my eyes (SAM does quite ok too). The RNG pt by themselves can eat up most of his HP, whatever else you bring is gravy.

SV and melee 2hrs aren't really needed, but RDM/DRK's are, so make sure you have plenty of those. Shouldn't be too hard to get some COR level 1's out there, bound to be someone with no useful zerg jobs in any given shell.

25 was the count I always abided by before it was outright resisted.

[Jhun]

You don't need CS stun if you have 8-9 BLMs.

Tank PT BRDx2 RDM WHM PLDx2
BRD + BLMx5
RDM + THF/drk for stun + BLMx4

[Zidiane]

I'm wondering how long the blm burn takes you in terms of Ave bc run.

[Jhun]

Between 20-40mins depends though.

[Zidiane]

Thats actualy rather quick, Event wise i get like 3-4 hrs max per night so thats easily 4-5 per night. Thanks

[Naramaska]

Figured I'd echo this so you have an idea of its accuracy...or something. The 20 minute fights you'll get the Wyrms in juuuuuuuust the right order, Bahamut will go easy on raping your tanks shadows, and everyone is on the ball. The 40 minute fights usually entail something stupid like a BLM pulling hate as you push Bahamut down to one of his flares and him instagibbing your entire mage group.




Your tank PT is really 90% of this fight--any 7-8 decently merited/geared BLM can do damage without thinking, but having tanks that can hold hate without ever losing it once are vital, especially while taking so much damage.

[fishstix]

Yeah, pld/nin would probably be a better choice, but at the time, this nin was our probably our best tank. As thf/drk, I used jupiter's staff, dark torque and dark earring, just incase, but no, I never resisted, I think the max stuns I got to was #17 before it was over. A majority of our blms weren't merited at the time, with some being clueless (nuking thunder on ouryu) and our fights were closer to 50 minutes :/

Call it taking the easy way out, but we only do 1 a night melee burn style. A bunch of people in our ls are ENM fanatics so we have plenty of scales, and even if we dont, it doesnt take long to farm one up. Only takes about 15 min to run to the bcnm. A few minutes to buff, and 30 seconds to kill. So well usually do a bahamut and maybe something else for the night's event.

Yeah, we do the same. I tag Bv2 on to a Limbus night most of the time.
