Genbu with a single party

[Squirrels]

i think Suzaku could be done with like 8 RNGx2 NIN NIN BRD/DRK RDM/DRK SMN WHM

[MrW]

I was also planning on trying this tanking straight up. The setup we were gonna use would be:

NIN/WAR
WHM/BLM
BRD/WHM
SAM/THF
MNK/WHM

and either RDM or BLM to finish it off.

Would probably take forever but Genbu is weaksauce as it is so it should be fun.

Burn can make a huge difference with a BLM nuking. Burn + Choke are underated but I've personally seen them make things more effective.

Yah, I've done Suzaku with something pretty similar was rng ninx2, brd, blmx2, whm, rdm, thf I think.

You could take out a few of those jobs, and the fight wouldn't really be any harder and would just take longer. I'd like to see it done with 6 just for the sake of saying you did it with a single party.

I heard jps did both suzaku and seiryu with 6, but I think that was back before the utsusemi nerf so every tp move would only take 1 shadow?

[BRP]

I've done Byakko with 9... does that count? BLM BLM BLM BLM BRD NIN PLD WHM WHM.

RDM/DRK is pretty much a trade off with the 2 RNGs no? Chainspell Stun its Chainspell.

[Squirrels]

2x RNGs are alot safer because sometimes spells get through the Chainspell+Stun but i think RDM/DRK RNG RNG BRD/DRK NIN NIN could do it

[NynJa]

whats up with the ninjas ??

pld's cant hold hate off rng's on suzaku...and say what you want, but pld's hold hate better, especially since there wont be any TA WS goin on.


might as well get 2 PLD/NIN's in place of the NIN's so they can atleast cover the rng's if shit goes bad lol.

[Makochin]

I think gilsellers do it with 6 ppl all the time. Just kite it around and have a couple blms nuke it. It'll die.

[Tanthalas]

I know of a RDM that's been able to solo Genbu on our server ( I think the rumors are true not sure though )... took a few hours though I hear.

Also, SMN BP is pretty decent on Genbu in a long fight if you use Nether Blast since Genbu's physical defense is so hard to penetrate.

[sirhansirhan]

i've done this with 7 ppl: 2x rng, 2x rdm, blm, whm and nin. was really fun. we had nin kite and rangers do fragmentation SC and blm burst and run away. i think it took us about 16min and was way easier than zip who almost wiped us.

Enjoy

rdm/drk is dangerous because chainspell stun might kill the rdm. And no one on my server is willing to try pld/nin, so yeah.

I used to farm Genbu's with a party...he's pretty easy with 6 as long as you kite.

Setup was:
Nin/War
Drk/Sam
Rng/War
Blm/Rdm
Whm/Smn
Rdm/Blm

The trick is killing Olla and Zippy with only 6...it defeats the purpose to kill the the god with 6 people but must rely on more to farm the items to do it.

Olla and Zip are harder than the actual Genbu fight (at least with 6 people)

[aers]

zip is pretty easy with six, i think we beat him with WAR/NIN (tanking) THF THF BLM WHM BRD once, two thieves for dd kekeke..

olla, meh, he isn't really that hard <_<

sure, olla's easy if you get one that's perfectly content using Battery Charge/Double Ray over and over.

But if you get one that's spamming Mysterious Light, its a different story.

That's where SMN come in handy, my friend. =P

I've taken on Zippy with 6, and probably could take on Olla with 6 if it had SMN's and we were quick, but... Then, we'd have to change jobs for Genbu, and if people have multiple jobs it's ok. =D

[Lockecole]

Zips doable with 4(I was dualboxxing NIN and RDM), Ive done it NIN,BLM,SAM,RDM..its just gotta be quick and you gotta know what you're doing. NIN needs to go all haste/evasion and he missed me about 50% of the time looking back at my chatlog, as long as slow/blind was on.

SAM drops a TA onto me for better hate control and then SA's from then on, and then just pretty much goes nuts after that. BLM needs to zone after the first nuke, but once hate is reset once, you wont lose it after any consecutive nukes, NIN just builds too much hate up. I'd assume it would be 100 times easier if the RDM wasnt being dualboxxed, and if he had /DRK sub (which I didnt.) Stunning to cast Ichi is probably the single thing that could differentiate between a wipe and a win.

3-4 people is nothing, ive seen a vid of it solod

Thanx captain obvious, Im sure noone's heard of Avesta. There's a difference between DoTing a mob over a period of 2hours, and dropping it, and straight up tanking it in less then 2mins. Takes alot more skill, and gear, and cooperation between the 3 people, (especially when dualboxxing while curing, tanking, and debuffing.)

I wasn't bragging, I was merely stating that its not necessary to have 6 to kill him: 3 is a possibilty with a BRD, and a NIN and a RDM. Though Im sure you know all about 3man zips being a PLD and all.

sorry, your thinking of a different person on a different server. whoever that is your talking about, its not him

who says i go to sky as pld...maybe i go as my sam, rng, or nin....but i guess you took that into consideration already
