KS99 At 90

HI, i would mostly be interested in turtle and behemoth (yes for black belt items).

Does anyone have any experience at 90 on what strat is good, how lowman can it be done ?

thanks in advance.

behemoth:
rdm, blm, blm, whm, rdm.
we tried at 3 ppl with whm, blm, rdm once but didnt quite work very well.

first setup though was good enough.
just make "hate on <t>" macro and you should be fine.

can a melee with empyrean weapon solo it?

you are not inside abyssea.

I wonder what Blizzaja will do to that Turtle once we get it.

I wouldn't rule out the possibility of a tricked out nin/dnc soloing behemoth. Abyssea or not capped subtle blow/evasion/gear haste/9 shadows & Migawari should be more than adequate. Kannagi would certainly help as far as time limit is concerned but even without it I imagine it's possible.

Might give it a go on my not so tricked out ninja some time this weekend and get back to you lol.

Was able to win all tries with Mnk Rdm and Whm on Behemoth. Takes about 15 minutes. Just make sure to have at least one person outside of Meteor range at 1% because it will still kill a mnk with 2k hp. Any time it did meteor before that it only hit for 700 or so.

We did behemoth, but not really low man, with 4 ppl our 1st try we wiped at 2% no RR up due to multiple deaths and mistake of rushing in the end, to give the final blow. Then we took 1 PTish and it was cake walk.

I would advise MB strat cause at 90 gravity and bind stick almost always... took us 11 minutes, the thing is... Record was 8 minutes and 1 second done by a single guy...

dont ask me how or with what job. Was what i had in log and i was very surprised. Cause someone instant killing would be faster, but a single person MBing it, even a blm or rdm with 2H, seems a bit fast, idk

Edited: oh but i got the tongue so thx everyone that helped and now im only missing the egg :p

Do the Behemoth with 6 men. Whm, Rdm, War, Blu, Blm, and Thf. Use the slope near the start of the actual circle. The elevation still cancels out Meteor and AOE on the mages. We did it like that producing skillchains, not really MBing them either(though the BLM caught like 2 lol). Using this strategy we killed it(the entire BCNM) in 4 minutes 35~ish seconds. No 2hours, simple foods. Built TP before entering each time. Just make sure Reraise is up for that final Meteor.

The turtle requires more BLMs, and only really BLMs. We've yet to do it, but you have to spike it in and out of its shell still like in the old days. Tried to do it with that same setup as the Behemoth, and even timing the MB didn't spike it out of its shell. You want total control over the turtle. 6BLMs with Refresh support(couple RDMs or BRDs) could probably do it, spike it inside of its shell with Freeze II, then spike it out ASAP with Blizz V/IV.

Duo'd at 75.

A single manaburn party at 90 should have no issues, regardless of experience and gear.



Easy trick, use a NIN over the MNK. (MNKs are extremely overrated)

Migawari is broken

For behemoth a rdm and blm/rdm/sch can duo it np. Its easy to gravity/bind though it will eventually start to resist gravity.

Turtle imo is a lot harder to low man just because of its regen. Tried it with rdmx2 blmx2 and got it to about 40% before we ran to low on mp and couldn't fight off its regen while in the shell. Though i'm sure it could be done with that setup. Just have to make sure you have MP to nuke it out before you put it into its shell which was our mistake. You can keep it silenced very easily so its spells shouldn't be a problem. Can also bind/gravity iirc.

Yeah turtle is incredibly easy to grav/bind

ok thanks all gonna try some of the above. This seems a a lot easier than spending 21-24h in a weird place x.x

Whats a good strat, for turtle?

my pup did realy well on behemoth 2.8k -3.1k nukes and u dont have to wory about loseing mp or death at the end just let the puppet eat it at the end

WAT

Think BST90 would have a chance at Behemoth?

lol
