Troll Fugitives, Extermination and Requiem with 3

[Russta]

With the exception of Lebros Supplies, which we got help on, my set has cleared every single assault with three people except for the ones in the title. I'm wondering if anyone has actually managed to clear these three with the minimum amount of people or has some suggestions on how to do so.

Due to being assured that Requiem and Extermination would be impossible with only three people, the only one of them we've tried is Troll Fugitives. I thought we did pretty well in that we happened to time out with the final troll at 10% as NIN, BLU, RDM but I fail to see how we could do it unless I was on WAR and we got extremely lucky with zero Diamondhides, their 2hrs etc.

Please don't suggest "just get more people" 'cause that's not the point. We've managed to clear 22/25 assaults with just us three (don't bring up Lebros Supplies), have all the Pahluwan, Yigit and all the miscellaneous peripheral equipment we want and are just looking for a challenge while clearing them all because farming Assaults for gil just feels so shallow.

We cleared Troll Fugitives with only 3 people: MNK, NIN, RDM. The MNK did the majority of the damage. RDM would bind and/or gravity for the Hundred Fisted mobs, and nuke away. Maybe we got lucky with Diamondhides or something, or overall % of the mobs life, but there was still a few minutes left at the end.

have someone change to mnk for extermination since most the mobs are skele's ??
doesnt seem like that much, most is just running around.

Oh yeah, the jobs we have to work with are;

PLD/MNK/WAR/NIN/BLU/COR/WHM/BRD
PLD/BLU/WHM/RDM/BLM/SMN/BRD
WHM/RDM/BLM/BRD

you could try extermination with you on mnk instead of nin.

Fugitives with mnk blm rdm, we timed out at 10% on the last mob :X Ended up picking up a ranger friend and clearing it with 4.

I think we could clear it with mnk/blm/rdm and a few meds and some pulling tricks, like have the blm run ahead and grab a mob down a hallway, carry a hi-ether tank and use them, etc.

Extermination, you probably want a blm with meds/yags for the slimes. Send him there right away, so that he can join up with the main group after. Put those hi-ether tanks to use. An extra hit of mp every 1-2 minutes is far better than a few points of int.

Mnk/nin can tank the rest and does more damage than nin/war, probably best supported with a rdm/whm. I am not sure if you will have enough damage to take everything out, however.

Beaten the Trolls with 3 ppl twice so far in 3 tries. 1/2 with thf + mnk + brd. 1/1 with nin + mnk + brd. Usually saved TP till mnks were low on hp then did some SC to finish them off quickly. Formless strikes for the 1 pld that actually invic'd.

I've beaten Reqium with 4, so it's probably possible with 3, but we did end up using Astral Flow on one of the rooms with 2 DRGs in it because we were short of time.

The main thing about Requiem is to take MP refresh drinks and ethers if you want to do it fast. We had a WHM along, both Banish (Ghosts) and Hexa Strike (bones) are very useful, as are status cures for the Doomed.

The Wyverns are one shotable and don't appear to resummon.

Reqiem with 4 is pretty easy, win with 5-6 mins left, but 3 I dont see it being done.
