Won with Tomiko's strategy, first try. Had a half-wipe due to bad communication but grav kited through it easily. Don't rush this fight, feel free to take time to let your healers get a nice mp pool because they're going to need it. If you need to take a minute to kite to get hp or mp before flare or adds, just do it. That plus on-the-ball sleepers and a nice roster of heavy dds seems to be a guaranteed win. Tank is definitely a waste of a slot here. Also have your melees bring a good supply of eye drops, as whm I was too busy to keep tossing blindna so I ended up bazaaring some mid-fight. And dd/rdms could use a few yag drinks for phalanx and stoneskin (if they get time) mp. Hi pots, icarus wings for 3rd stage zerg, all good too.

sam/rdm
drk/rdm
drg/sam (no /rdm)
rdm/blm
whm/sch
blm/whm

Now if only I could decide on a hat.

Finally finished... decently challenging, just make sure mages are OK on MP before it pops BLM and after the clearing BLM phase.

As of subjobs, everyone /RDM is the way to go, make sure to have good mages as well : last part requires a lot of curing (his Crystal move becomes a regular TP moves).

[Rionel]

Wouldn't WHM sub also be suitable for the final fight? Just wondering because it also has Stoneskin, Magic Defense Bonus II and cures. Heck, you also get Curaga II and Divine Seal! Just a thought. Let's see side by side:

/RDM

- Magic Defense Bonus I
- Fast Cast II
- Stoneskin
- Cure III
- Regen

/WHM

- Magic Defense Bonus II
- Auto-Regen
- Divine Seal
- Erase
- Stoneskin
- Curaga II
- Reraise
- Raise
- Regen
- Cure III
- Slightly more MP

Maybe I'm missing something? ;x

Figured Phalanx wasn't too bad to have, with gimped enhancing it reduces like 10 damages, which is about 1/7 of the hit damages.

But yes, /WHM is good as well.

People underestimate the power of Phalanx way too much.. In that fight it reduces more than a significant portion of the damage of normal attacks.

In other news, hats look hilarious.

First on Asura i think ^^ /cheer

Few tips, Once the main NM goes to his WHM buddies for cure, On his way back he's Technically "De-aggroed" So if everyone Stands at the Door He wont Aggro you.

2nd: He doesn't Recover to 100%, We got him to 40% (With a Skillchain) and he came back with 96% HP

3rd: Hes and his BLM friends take UBER DMG from Skillchains. Steel Cyclone for 1800 Usually led to Darkness for 3k~4k+ Taking off Huge chunks of HP.

Goodluck To you guys ^^

Crappy Augmented items btw.

72 - Resilient Mantle: STR+1 Attack+6 Evaion -1
Cure V for someone...

No matter how you slice it, fight is a pain in the ass. I ended up tanking it as WAR/WHM due to some misguided information about the need for MDEF and still won. Setup was WAR, BLM, RDM, SCH, SAM, WAR.

Chose STR +4, WS ACC +15, RACC +10, RATK +5

[Funkworkz]

where do you live waffles @_@

the final fight is alot more fun than ACP thats for sure

[Wulfgang]

I thought the whole expansion was absolutely terrible, and I am not complaining about the farming/HELM stuff. Half the CSs are the same shitty thing in the mog house, almost no new music, and the plot is so bad it borders on awkward. I think I could have made the CS about the "curse" with an Etch a Sketch.

[Alyric]

I'm curious what augments the blms are choosing..

[Deimos]

I'm curious what augments the blms are choosing..

INT+4, Magic Accuracy+2

and one of:

INT+2, Enhances "Fast Cast" effect (+2%)
"Magic Atk. Bonus"+2, HP recovered while healing+3

[Rionel]

I'm wondering... did any of the Augments for the final head pieces get changed?

I remember seeing that the augments weren't finalized. Can anyone confirm if they changed anything?

[Yeager]

posted in wrong thread, sorry!

[Palpatine]

Won with 4 on our first try, although it got a little close at the end.

RDM/WHM (whoops, /BLM would have been better for sleepga)
WHM/RDM
SAM/RDM
MNK/RDM

edit: The first 2 forms were a joke. The final form we all popped 2 hours. RDM did sleep II on all the Matrix Moogles, MNK+SAM did as much damage as they could (MNK died immediately) and WHM popped a clutch benediction/cure V/holy at 1% to ensure victory!

[Tomiko]

The map isn't even the worst part - getting the 9 ???s can take a hell of a lot of running around, Altep'ing, Escaping and zoning in through different entrances, especially if you're unlucky and get a few that are placed in areas accessible only by one-way drops.

Like Whimmy said, it's running around the desert to find them. I already have most of the maps so that wasn't an issue. But I ended up having to go to every damn entrance which pissed me off. Then the last 2 I had were at one-way drop offs which don't show up til you drop to the new map.

If you fuck up the last BC, how much of the quests do you have to redo? Do you got to redo Beaucedine Glacier, Xarcabard, Castle Zvahl Baileys, and Keep?

Have to redo everything from Glacier forward. It doesn't really take that long though, especially compared to ACP Tower climbing.

And as mentioned, /rdm was nice for phalanx as well.

Any truth to this? haven't seen anything in this topic or BGwiki

Maybe not from what I can tell.

The BC was much easier than expected given some of the reports. You just have to control the pace of the fight.
This was amusing:
