Most Discoids on a BCC youve had?

[Neosutra]

This is more of gripe post than anything, but I was wondering whats the most Discoids your groups have had from BCC before?

This is spawned by tonights boss, whom decided it forget its other 4 TP moves and just use Discoid EVERY time. With a 6 man team and one healer it definately made the fight interesting.

[Artus]

I think last one did 19 total

[Gaea]

Think we got about 12 with half of them stunned by the RDM/DRk and the rest were cut in half by aoe stoneskin from Scholar. We were a 6 person team too. Without RDM/DRK to help stun often I'm not sure where we'd have been. I'm sure nothing but Discoids is hell ><

[Belkin]

BLU Diamondhide works wonders. Pair that with a COR doing MNK roll with 2 MNK tanks. Its so cheap.

[Wizerd]

We've had fights where just about every move was Discoid, but with Monk's Roll, 2 MNKs, Penance, and a good stunner, they almost never get off. When they do, we always have RDM WHM BRD backline so they don't cause problems.

[Not Kuno]

12 is the most you got? o.O Ours average 10+ each time. >.>

[Uzor]

I've never counted, but its quite often.

[mdkuser]

Usually 1 or 2 during the first 75% then spam at the end. If it uses it too often you can always have the melees turn and blink it while mages recover mp;

Hmm, lately if it spams too much we've just let the second party in the alliance die off, and concentrate on keeping the main 6 (MNK MNK WHM RDM BRD COR) alive. Is that bad? rofl. I try to tell them to get outta range if they get too low, but do they act quick enough?! No.

[Aemora]

I can safely say that the most Discoids our Group has ever had is no more than 5, if that.

And I'm not on about ones that slipped through Stun (whenever we may feel like attempting to stop it), but BCC is just so incredibly nice to kill. Bit monotonous though.

First time we did BCC, had everyone positioned correctly, but it never used it until 15%, and this was during the zerg-mode at the end we always go with (2hr Mnks), and it did 3 back-to-back Discoids and wiped the alliance. Was pretty epic.

[Neosutra]

I think a few people misunderstood me. We still killed it, we have no problem with BCC, we turned away when our healer needed to get some mp, and typically we do bring a blu for diamondhide. The fight just became funnier and funnier as we saw he was going to use -no- other TP move except Discoid. It took what is usually an 8-9 min fight into a 17 min fight (because we spent half our time turned away). I was just calculating the odds of rolling a 4 on a 4 sides die, 30 times in a row...

[Uzor]

As the odds are incredibly low for that, I'll go out on a limb and say he was bugged that time >.>

Either that or he met Jakko and partially resisted Amnesia.

[Seditedi]

Doubt it was bugged.. lol
There have been fights where people haven't even seen Discoid more than once.
It's a low chance but it's very possible.

[tymora]

Lowest = 0
Highest = 7

Not sure what kind of luck you have to have him only use 5 Discoids max, but with as many ways to inhibit TP moves as we have, and Minuet x2 as our only songs on this guy, with Monk's/Chaos (don't need marches, we don't get hit anyway), I swear he uses at least 12-15 TP moves before he dies in the 5-8 minute period we're killing him. I haven't counted, but it's a couple per minute I think? With 15 TP moves, the chance isn't horrible that he'll use one specific move more than 5 times, especially over a sample of many, many battles.

I'll have to count his TP moves and record which ones he uses next time we fight him.. Maybe he uses more or less than I think.

[Seditedi]

He said 5 Discoids, not 5 TP moves.
I guess his group has just been lucky on the TP moves..

[Neosutra]

His luck with run out some day

Everyone has loltooweak and WTFBABYJESUS days on bosses, and the more you do them the more those extremes show. I still think there are some other factors that effect boss def/attack/strength such as weather and the frequency/potency of each of their Super Moves, but until that is determined it remains conjecture.

I want to see a 6 man group win against an unlocked LBC that uses HM for every TP move lol.

I have come to the conclusion that using Hundred Fists below 25% on any of the Chariots is bad news. Get that out of the way early, when you have nice full buffs, recast timers are up and the Chariot isn't going to spam everything in creation at you.

Depends on boss really. I like to 2 hour at end to kill it quickly during its tp spam modes. However BCC and LAC we typically 2 hour at the beginning (LAC because we can get it down super fast before charm spam, BCC because back to back to back to back Discoids will ruin anyone's day). Locked LBC and ACC however we save till the end.

Hmm, we Hundred Fists locked LBC @ 60-70%(depending on whether 1 or 2 BLMs) because by the time 2hr's are over, RDM chainspells, and our BLM or 2 Manafont, it's dead. Killing the west 4F chariot goes a long way.

Also, we 2hr at the start of BCC, and at the end if COR 2hr goes through. A BLM to stop the first Discoid does a whole lot, because it also inhibits it from using another TP move for a few seconds. Which, during HF, can mean a lot.
