Eye of the Tiger/Strategies

Working Job Combinations
This section is not meant to discourage people from trying different combinations, but to illustrate combinations that have been tried and tested. Please feel free to try this BCNM with any combination you think might work, and above all, have fun!

The tank and the toothpick
Setup I regularly use is: PLD/WAR, a RDM/BLM, and a DD (usually a WAR or MNK).

Strategy: Before the fight, everyone uses food and gets protect. I recommend sushi for melees. RDM needs to debuff this guy. He's a fast attacker so use blind and paralyze. He has good evasion so use elemental seal+slow and then gravity. If you keep him debuffed all you need to do is let the PLD keep his full attention and whack away. Red lotus blade followed by raging fists makes a mean fusion. Red lotus followed by raging axe works well also.

This fight can be done with a ninja tank but he rips through shadows at fairly fast rate and resists most ninja spells making hate control much harder.

Keep 'em busy
Setup : NIN/WAR, another NIN/WAR OR any DD/NIN a RDM/BLM, and a DD (usually a WAR or MNK).

Strategy Same as the above strategy, but this item you can swap between your two utsusemi users if needed. Use spining axe followed by blade: chi will make that same fusion. A skillchain is not absolutely necessary however.
