    Couldn't use SATA because Ouryu was always ES+Sleep2 when on the ground. He was nuked only in the air.

    Re: Whoops

    Funny story honestly.

    I got home from work early, around 3pm and relized i had 0 earth resist gear. I set my mind on tanking pld/rdm and use an efficient sleep nuke strategy so we can do more then one orb quickly. So I spend 3-4 hrs making gear, getting questables, camping maldust, and some other random stuff. (All but Nussacker). I really built myself up and got excited to try pld/rdm full resist with aegis.

    We were scheduled to do this around 7 and a hour before I relized I didnt have enough +earth to reach the comfortable 310 I like to be at and be able to equip my shadow ring and aegis. With time crunching and me not wanting to waste my LS members time, I settled with a buyable 297 setup, sacrificing my shadow ring and both relics for a club of trials/borrowed numinous+1. I figured I can just wing this and go for the best gear later to juggernaut/show off on other runs later.

    Hurried from camping a Maldust (Which didnt drop) I go to make the rest of the gear while a LS mate camps it. It didnt drop when she killed it so I had to rush to find 2 topaz rings realizing at that point I had to sacrifice my Shadow ring to attempt to resist with another topaz. The difference between 280ish and 290+ seemed to be more important at the time then occasionally eating 10%ish of the magic attacks with the Shadow ring.

    Then at the last minute I decide to try pld/rdm over anything else so I had to find all my pld/rdm gear, set up macros, and the alliance in the safehold. god my mind was racing. We gear up head out, get to the top, get in, change gear and I hit my SS macro..... No go.... I hit it a few more times and check my gear. Why isnt it working. Check the macro, try it from my menu...... Then it hit me and my fucking stomach dropped. I was using my gimp blm SJ to warp around the world to get gear. I let out the bad news but as the leader it was my call, everyone was silent lol. Fuck it... I can do this... We only had one other tank, for adds, who had 0 resist gear and was /nin, so I had to do it.

    So we did it, I died once, got up and tanked weakened and we had to 2hr the last half when we relized we were under the clock. 10-12 on Ouryu, a pt on adds. It was a rush, it was the best teamwork that Ive seen from my LS in a long time, but it was worth it lol. Its a joke in the air but god it was stressful during transitions. I really do think any solid team could do the same thing, Im not trying to toot a horn, but I still think it was immensely entertaining and something I think everyone should avoid XD.

    EDIT:

    Ya that was the strategy before I relized I had a gimp SJ, and during the fight. Problem is the lack of no real defensive buffs from the SJ at all. Sure you can macro an Aegis and defensive gear in, but man, there was 1-2 rounds in there where he wasnt slept immediately and I didnt shield block during some of his seemingly multi hit successions it became too uncomfortable.

    The near time out was simply bad luck, and my gimpness didn't help. We were actually doing 100% fine and were destroying him until one really really unlucky moment. He landed and I accidently only hit one hit one defensive macro (that puts on Aegis/support gear). I didn't have a windower macro like I shouldve, so my defensive ground gear macros were split in two.

    The next ES Sleep was barely out of range, along with some unlucky lack of aegis procs on top of the half/macro'd gear, Ouryu made quick work of me. I found myself dead w/ RR and Ouryu chasing BLMs. Got up, luckily he was in the air and I had Sentinel up so I put on my resist gear and got rebuffed. We went back to work but took our time and I sentineled when he landed so we coud resleep until I was unweak and hate was back under control.

    I should also mention this was our first time fighting this lol.... ya ya ya, years of being together and slaughtering everything else in this game multiple times, and doing what we do.... this for some reason was something that always found itself on the back burner, and Im not sure why. I have no explanation past this simply being something... we never got to until now.

    This combined with what happened, and my fucking up, and us still wining was the reason I thought Id share this story over what I can see as "Ok ya Ouryu isnt hard and a pld/bst could probably tank this thing" thread.

    Re: Whoops

    haha sounds like a fun adventure....

    Last time we did this our Aegis/Dring/Everything PLD was on PLD/BST and didnt even tank...

    Once u get the strategy down (use a bst to charm shit and fight the eles with it....) you can wipe the floor with the BC in an avg of 20-30mins and have no chance of losing

    I'm guessing Mandrake wasn't there then, he could turn you 20-30mins into a lose easily!

    Re: Whoops

    Thats hot Tekki. Just one thing you don't need a whole pt for adds. In my ls we just get a mnk, nin, thf, or any DD with shadows really, and that person just kills the worms and gets healed from some whm or just rests while waiting for repops. then we have a rdm that pulls eles and sleeps them next to ouryu so our blms -aga ouryu killing any eles.

    Good job though, especially since it was your first try.
