Melee Burn Ouryu Strategy

[malthinae]

Our LS has always BLM burned Ouryu, but recently have heard that a melee burn can be more effective. I was wondering what results others have had from melee burn Ouryus and am looking for a more exact strategy.

I cannot even fathom this, would they be using mistmelts when it flies? what happens when it invincibles i am genuinely curious now.

This strat could possibly work, and or help you to post in the random question thread.

I don't see how it would be faster or more efficient than using BLM's.

[Tulun]

Not sure how? Ouryu has been done with as little as 7-9 with BLM method. Ouryu can't be stunned and uses invincible.

I could see melees assisting in some fashion but a melee burn exclusively sounds like a recipe for fail.

[Aihree]

TerrorGa makes me wonder, too.

[Kaisha]

AoE Terror & Petrify would be fun 'eh?

[Jb1210a]

I've never heard of a melee burn strategy, curious if there's one out there, but as the above poster said it can be done with a small group of BLMs.

[Not Kuno]

We used to do it melee style light years ago. It sucked ass. Petrify-ga and terrorga ruined our day.

[Beave]

It's already so easy with BLM method, just keep doing that =P

[Therin]

The only way I can think of this being viable would be a multi-staged zerg using KC (or other multi-hit weapons) DRKs, two or three at a time, every landing, with a standard Ouryu tank party to hold him in between zerg attempts and Mistmelts to keep him floored. But the sheer resources involved would make it non-efficient and the fact that it would still likely be luck-based seeing as how he can take your melee out of commission at any time makes this completely unrealistic.

It leaves to much room for error, invincible, terror, one of those will stop you dead in your tracks, then it fly, and you can't hit it at all, its a 1 hour BC, you have plenty of time, stick to BLM style, not broke, don't fix it etc, etc.

I just dont see it working. way to many things can easily go wrong, and i highly doubt anyone will waste a cloud evoker to try.

[Shinryuu]

If you consider COR to be a melee, technically you can meleeburn it by replacing BLMs with CORs.

Woop woop.

[Thorny]

They aren't meleeing.

(also, log on and AB with me?!)

[Shinryuu]

Technicality.

I would but have to write a small (4,000 words) paper before midnight and just starting now :3 and well, I don't have SMN or sync. Blah.

How can it be more effective? 15 minute fight with 0 chance of fucking up or any deaths presuming your group isnt retarded and knows how to stop nuking and sleeping it when it lands (unless your rdm macros Bio for some reason...yes I'm referring to you!).

Melee burn would probably take longer, not to mention be a much greater headache.

can we get some melee burn nidhoggs goin on? that shit would be so cash

[ZhiGaruda]

On a recent Ouryu we did, I went SAM/DNC on Risk and BLM/RDM on my mule, thinknig I would just kill the worms on Risk.

Forny let me have some fun and I would run in to WS now and again, and it was actually pretty neat. I could imagine having 2-3 SAM's and BLMs to nuke it when in the air would be a good strategy, my one Gekko would do as much as 2 unresisted nukes, so.

In my previous LS we always woke him up with a SC right before flight for the BLMs to MB.

We've done faf with no blms pretty fast before, nid probably isnt much harder. Wasn't a burn though, just a few sams.

On Topic - This strategy seems kinda moot, why set up a mele burn when you can do this nice quick and easy with blms?
