Shall We Dance ENM

[Mahman]

I'm looking for people that have experience doing this and what strategies they've used.
I'm currently with a group that includes 3 BLMs doing Requiem of Sin and I figured while we are out there we may as well do this ENM as well.

Off the top of my head I think 3 BLM could handle this with nuking and kiting.
My initial idea

BLMs opens on Parata (non-spellcaster) with timed nuke
BLM with hate starts kiting
other BLMs pick of Parata from the kiter and finish it off.
When done, all focus on Bladmall.

Sleeping babies as needed.

Should one BLM do a -ga to open to ensure they will have hate on the other mob?
Advice would be cool
Thx

I'd change one of the Black Mages to Red Mage for Refresh and dependable Sleeps. The Red Mage can focus on Sleep while Black Mages focus on killing.

Let's assume I don't have a RDM. Just 3 BLMs.

3 BLM's would work fine, just open with Ga3 and focus on killing Parata as quickly as possible, even use 2 hours if necessary, once that dies just rest up and sleep/aspir pets. Then kite/nuke Bladmall.. I'd suggest bringing echo drops because he uses a lot of ga debuffs

i know 2 rdm/nin that used to duo it. i've done it with 2 rdm and a blm and with 2 blm and a rdm.

I've never opened with Ga 3 when going with 3 BLM's. Been awhile but iirc we all targeted Parata (time nuke to start), went balls to the walls with nukes (2hr if needed) I think one of the Blm's would slap down a sleepga I/II to keep adds asleep until Parata was dead.

Then after that was just a waiting game with Bladmall, one blm should be able to deal with the babys, if he resits just toss a sleepga to help out. And bring antidotes if your /rdm.

All in all pretty simple fight, and blau drop rate is pretty nice, best of luck!

It's Shell we dance! Don't stifle SEs punnyness.

I used to duo this with a friend of mine until low-man info came out and blau price crashed to less than 50% of what it was when we started. BLM/NIN x2, I took the SAM, he took the BLM, and we'd each open with a timed tier 4 on our own mob. He took his into a corner of the BC, I kited mine around that pillar, and we'd kill the summons from ours. We both brought a couple yags to speed things up, antidotes, and he always brought some remedies in case he got para'd. Whoever finished theirs first (usually him) would rest up and help the other after.

With gaiters you can solo the SAM once babies are dead by getting around to the other side and then nuking once you're at the furthest point. Without gaiters it might take a longer time due to having to rely only on his wide pathing at two spots and his stopping to WS whenever he gets TP (he has Regain effect), but it's probably doable without them, I just always had them when I did it. And of course like I already said, the person working on the BLM can come over and help speed things up once it's dead, too.

1. time nuked AM2x3 opening on Parata

2. follow by another AM2x3 asap on Parata. Dont be bothered by his 1/2 damage reduction when entering shell. you waste more time waiting and will make the fight tougher. Take the chance of him being in shell to cast this 2nd AM. Just go all out on parata and dont be shy on manafont. Bladmall will not move to melee range at all. so you pretty safe on 2nd AM. pet shouldnt interrupt you at this phase if you SJ NIN or have stoneskin/phalanx on

3. 1 of you sleepga pet, the other 2 go for another round of IV. 1 more round of IV if needed.

4. parata should be dead by then

5. Bladmall is just a walk in the park, the BLM that help sleepga pet(he didnt do the 3rd round of IV) should have spare MP and can nuke Bladmall for target/kite and sleep pets or hold it, while other 2 BLM rest peacefully

6. once MP is up, go for IVs until he go shell, then kill pets and rest till he get out of shell

7. /kneel before opening box, remember to face SE

8. grats on 2 blau

This ENM is about Parata. SJ NIN bring antidote helps
