Talk:Bonds That Never Die

Battle Observations

 * I went in solo as 75BLU/NIN and got completely demolished, as I thought I would. He hits hard and fast, and his TP attack "Shock Wave" went through my shadows, hitting for 300+ damage each time and interrupting my spells with knockback. He also seemed to have a rather high defense to physical damage, as my physical blue magic and sword swipes did negligible amounts of damage. After about 45 seconds of spamming as much damage as I could, roughly 699 in all, left him at 95%. I would recommend a full, balanced party to take him down. -Prothescar 09:12, 9 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Went in with a pickup party: PLD75/NIN, BLU75, BST75/WHM x2, RDM75, WHM67. We completed the fight with about 10 minutes to spare and without too much difficulty. In a second run with the same group, we swapped out one BST (me) for a BLM75. That run resulted in a wipe so we changed around again, swapping the BST back in in place of the WHM. It was a close call on MP, but we got the win again. Both BST used carries. Idun Midgardsormr 21:10, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Testimonials

 * Won with 75WHM/SCH, 75DNC/NIN, 75PLD/NIN and a 75DRG/WHM. Nothing fancy, just run in and attack. As the WHM I quickly learned to get out of the way of his Knock Back move, so I stood off to the side or behind the behemoth. I dont really recall seeing Thunderbolt but I did watch as whoever-had-hates hp quickly fell into the red. I was often spamming CureV and at times worried for my mp. Luckily the DNC was a very good backup healer. Since buffs stay on inside the BCNM I recommend going in with a full Sublimation. I used Afflatus Solace for the Cure:Stoneskin also since there wasnt much curing to be done asside from just curing. In the end we won with hp in the white, me with about 100mp left, nobody used 2hours and nobody died. Felt a bit scary, just make sure you have plenty of cure power. -Dausy


 * Just went in with Nin/Dnc x2 (or so we thought), Sam/Nin, and Whm/Sch.. Well, one of the Nins fell asleep, so we were trying it with 3. We wiped with it at 10%, and I only got off two of my WSs from Meikyo.. Basically once he hits about 35% or so he'll unlock his stun move, which can be very difficult to deal with without a second healer. Honestly, with the 4th person I wouldn't have needed my 2hr I think. Hate was a bit loose at the start but once that was under control we did ok, until I died >.<.Aineko 03:55, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
