| How do I format this? |
Tips
- After the Silence effect wears off, Macan Gadangan will only cast Burst, which can be absorbed by shadows.
- Macan Gadangan is completely (or nearly completely) immune to stun while casting Burst. Shield Bash, Stun and multi-hit Weapon Skills had no effect - The mob got Burst off every time.
- If he is NOT silenced at the beginning, he will cast a thunder-based spell at random. Burst is by far the easiest to deal with, so be certain to Silence him once and do not Stun, Silence, or Sleep him at any point after that.
- Macan Gadangan has low resistance to Silence, so it is recommended not to use Elemental Seal (in this fight, you actually want it to wear off as quickly as possible).
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!
- WHM, NIN
Single Silence
After the Silence effect wears off, Macan Gadangan will only cast Burst, which can be absorbed by shadows.
Strategy:
- The White Mage should rest as much as possible, only getting up to Stona, Silena, and Paralyna the Ninja. Any other job can be brought along for added DD or healing assurance. This is a very easy win with this setup.
Strategy Pros:
- Doesn't require a third person.
- Profit made from sales can be split two ways as opposed to three ways.
Strategy Cons:
- Runs a risk of failure due to time limit.
Making this Strategy Better:
- Include another damage dealer or support character.
Alternative Strategy:
- None.
Other Strategies
Jobs Used
- WHM
- NIN
- BLM
Strategy:
- Basically all we did was form a triangle around the Coeurl. BLM at Left, NIN in the middle, WHM at the right. BLM would stun the -ga spells and use earth spells on it. WHM would cure NIN (if needed) and stona, haste, etc... NIN just kept hate and tanked. Very very easy, finished with plenty of time to spare. Was doing it for Penitent's Rope, and dropped 1/3 times.
- Tried this strategy twice lost the first time, won the second time. The key is for the WHM to conserve as much MP as possible by using light cures mixed with regen. The BLM must NOT stun, no form of paralyze is to be used and he must be silenced only once at the start, from then on he will only pause to use Burst. Got rope on the first win.
Jobs Used
- WHM
- NIN
- BRD
Strategy:
- Worked a treat - whm runs in after buffs, casts silence, Nin is ready with voke. BRD marches the NIN, and casts Ballad for the whm. Then whm just keeps nin buffed with haste, and uses paralyna and stona when necessary. Very easy win like this, as nin was the only one attacking, the coeurl didn't spam tp moves as it would with 2 DD's. I can't honestly think of any cons with this setup - nothing went wrong at all
