So last night, I set up a set of SKC20 fights in the Chamber of Oracles (the 4 Antica) with a setup of PLD RDM BSTx4 and won each fight easily on Normal setting.

We'll be doing it again tonight, this time we'll be doing Dismemberment Brigade (the 6 Orcs)

I plan on doing all these fights either with a PLD RDM BST x4 strategy where the PLD supertanks with RDM support and BSTs pull mobs off 1 at a time, or BST x6 setups up to and including the Ark Angel fights.

This should be fun for sure! I'll post screenshots as we go along tonight.

Try on VD (not trolling) but normals can be duo easily as many different jobs, and pld can supertank w/o support.
GL on run though!

You mean your BLU? I've seen your schtick one too many times, I'm afraid.

Besides, we chose to do it on Normal because frankly, we didn't know how well (or poorly) the setup would perform. We probably could have won on Difficult setting if we had chosen to do so.

Looks like fun how is the pet accuracy on normal aa fights is what I am wondering guess if they can hit MR the rest is cake. A mix of smn and bst would be really cool as well I would think even if call timers down can keep a avatar on it..

We haven't done any AA fights yet Kenshyn but we will do so in the future.

One of the OGs from LoTB's glory days just returned to the game, and we're trying to get him outfitted with at least the Eminent Axe, Spark Armor, etc. as well as upgrade his BST AF. Since it's an LoTB OG that came back, that's why I decided to do this BST style.

Uh with PLD supertanking, you need 4-5 DDs to begin with. What was so special about that run? 6xBST or its pointless if you ask me.

btw Word, I am making these posts literally as we progress through the fights.

Now, for the last 2 fights we're upping the ante a bit. The PLD is changing to PUP. BST x5 and 1 PUP setup. Each person will solo an NM. Now THIS will be really fun. :)

Win. But the PUP died almost right away. We ended up 5-manning it again BSTx5. Still fun but hate the fact the PUP died so quickly.

This loot pool was after the 4th fight when our PLD d/c'd and we had to 5-man it. Screenshot was taken after the PLD returned and was re-invited back into the party.

We did "Kindred Spirits" SKC20 in the Throne Room the other day. Setup was PLD RUN (me) RDM BST BST BST.

Rampart and One For All all but rendered Diamond Dust harmless. The BSTs did the work and the PLD held the NMs while we killed them one at a time.

Great job! Siviard, what's your setup? I can't tell what kind of shield or axe you're using. And did you guys finish with decent time remaining?

Hey. If you can get some pet jobs together on Cerb I'd kinda like to try this. I do need some Chapters!

Setup was 2 BST, 4 SMN. We took down AA Elvaan on Easy in a little under 9 minutes. As for my Axe/Shield combo, it was Eminent Axe & Pallas's Shield. I just kept my Reward pieces on because this was purely a pet only fight. The AoE from EV still hurt.

Also keep in mind, one of the SMNs in the party is Gib. Gib is probably the best SMN on the server by far. 119 Nirvana, Seraphicaller (119 Avatars) and top of the line gear, which really carried us. However, I still think AA EV on Easy is possible with competent players/gear on pet jobs. AA EV on Normal on the other hand, you'll definitely need players with top of the line gear and capped skills to have a chance.
