When Hell Freezes Over ENM duo

[DeadLegend]

Our bard isn't on for Brothers so we're planning to try and duo When Hell Freezes Over as Nin+rdm.

What we're wondering is:

1: How much hp do the bombs have?
-Wondering if the nin can just smack them down in a single jin

2: Sub Whm, Blm, or Nin for rdm? (assuming I have to kite second/third bombs should they appear)
-I figured /whm for barblizzara since baraera+shell4 does the trick in Like the Wind. /Blm for possible Eseal crap (not likely), or /nin for added survival on kiting if they hit like trucks. I have wlegs. All this keeping in mind the nin will /drk to stun blizzaga/combustion on his mob.

3: How is their resistance to nukes?
-In case of grav/nuke. I have capped elemental merits.


Thanks.

k that blew
2 is fine, 3 is awful. They do hit like trucks and have good accuracy.

I have done it in a trio, but never in duo. The setup was SAM SMN BLM if I remember correctly. If you could pick up one more person, you could probably win without much trouble as long as you could kite the last remaining bomb in any given wave in order for people to recover, etc.

If you need people to recover, you don't even need to kite. Just fight at the very beginning. When you're ready for each wave, have somebody start going through the tunnel until they aggro. Once you're back at the beginning and have killed all the ones in the current wave, the next wave won't aggro until somebody goes through the tunnel again. If absolutely necessary, can use ES if available for a quick sleep.

We got hosed pretty hard to be honest, opened first wave with 3 bombs, is it always 3?

[Jer]

The number of bombs can be variable between 1 and 4(?) I think. I just now saw which two jobs you guys were trying to do it with, I don't know how much luck you'll have in the future if you try to duo it.

[Kaelia]

No, it's not always three. Each wave (including the wave that is already up when you enter) can be made up of 1, 2, or 3 bombs randomly.

Why didn't you just do brothers anyway? NIN + RDM can duo that np.
