Seeking Long-Bowed Chariot advice.

Good to pull AC into a corner too so his knockback doesn't push you out of casting range.

LIke all chariots, DD and melees on the sides, not the front, and keep them unbound so that when chariot turns to face them they can quickly move to the side again.

Well, I agree about a non nerfed LBC and LAC but normally when I'm tanking if its a chariot or the Zhaoylm/Arrapago boss you want to face it head on. I'd rather take a Diffusion Ray that hits only me, instead of Discharge and Inertia Stream which would hit the other tank and melee. Plus less binds and paralyzes to worry about.

If LBC is nerfed, Homing Missile becomes his weakest move. We fight LBC head on as well, to maximize the number of HMs and Diffusion Rays we get versus Inertia Stream and Discharge.

We don't normally have any problems either, but one thing to watch out for is wind weather. All gears, including the ones in this room, will have extended aggro range, and it's hard to get by when it's up. Normally they don't seem to see up the small ledge at the edge of the rooms (they'll still hear up them if you're too close), but with wind weather they do seem to see up them.

Wind weather not only increases aggro range, but makes them aggro AND link by sound in addition to sight.

The around the ledge thing works because supposedly being on a different elevation interrupts thier line of sight, however they can still aggro by sound if it is wind weather. (I say it like its fact but its derived from observation and could be flawed)

Our BRD used to take forever pulling the 10 gears, we always just assumed thats how long it took and didnt bitch cause it was better to get it right, then our BRD quit. Next time around I pulled them with ninjutsu on ninja flawlessly with almost no wait time between pulls (using wireframe mode and watch the direction they are moving to determine which direction they are "looking") It worked great and I was hero for a day, next time we came back I did everythign the same, pulling when I was sure they had thier backs turned to eachother and link'ed 3 of the first 4 pulls (we were going for the rampart 1f and 4f so that run ended up being a flop). After the third failed pull somone said "ohh shit it's wind weather", I hadn't even noticed.....

Moral of the story, plan on taking your F'ing time if its wind weather, otherwise you can burn right through them.
