Einherjar Wing II advices

[Neosutra]

Tomahawk order helps those alot.

So far we have been plowing through Slimes/Clots with only 2 BLMs in the run.

We do 3-4 Merit Party type setup, and each Party has a Tomahawk WAR and a Agnon DRG. That with a RDM with Dia III and you can tear up Slimes/Clots like they were any other mob.

Each Party setup is:
BRD
WHM
WAR
DRG
MNK
(DRK or SAM)

The one thing we notice is that we do better if we only let 1 party fight a mob, and divide the mobs up. TP moves are not spammed on us, and Mages aren't taxed. We range from 26-36 depending on day etc.

The only run we lost so far was our first Tier III: 6x Marid > 6x Scorp + 6x Dragon > KB Boss, where we ended up timing out on boss with a low turnout of 26 people.

Apologies for the necrobump but how many BLMs should we be taking in for Wing II?

We've cut back a bit... and we tend to be melee heavy. Then we saw a sea of slimes and a bunch of Kraken all on top of each other. It wasn't funny.

If possible, a PT is good, but don't strain the melee alliance to make this possible. For slimes, just make sure that you don't have too many DDs on one mob (Avoid TP Spam) and all melees should keep max Utsusemi shadows up (The AoE, which kills most groups, can be absorbed by ~3 Shadows). If you intend on using BLMs to kill the slimes while melees are attacking, the BLMs should move towards the melees when they have hate. I often see BLMs (And SMNs) nuke and drag the mob to the mages. Guess what happens when AoE goes off? Bodies. Lots of them.
