COR, BRD, WAR, DRG, PLD, SMN. I guess general purpose buffing, healing, and perhaps Earthen Armor?

I did this ambu with the same strat/setup last year. Apogee Lunatic Voice to make them switch all in melee mode and Earthen Armor/Scherzo to survive Mijin Gakure. Another Lunatic Voice is sometimes required because of their resist silence trait.

Tried mimicing the other vids with a PUG, but didn't have much success. The old way of just sleeping them with an RDM still works though, just a bit more annoying with the wakes.

Another variation here I found interesting, RDM opens with Bind-ga and pulls back, SMN goes in to silence all of them. So they're all basically cemented and can't cast allowing a regular tank/nin to go one by one with the party without being overwhelmed too bad. Scherzo/EA should protect the party from Mijins.

Tried the method as shown in the JP video but with a more traditional setup.

Tank, Healer, Cor, Bard, Heavy Dps, Smn

It's reliable if everyone does their job right and people are in sync. The tank always tends to die on the last 3 mobs though. A sacrifice worth making.

Even with the the Savage Blade cor doing double the dmg of the Savage Blade war we were still consistently getting wins.

Songs HM, Min5, Mad2, Scherzo. Minne5 on the tank instead of min5.

Smn does a lot of buffing. Earthen Armor (Titan), Lunatic Voice for silence and Wind's Blessing for magic shield (Siren), Diabolos for Noctoshield and Dream (Shroud MDB).

The hardest part has got to be the tank in this setup. They get stripped of weapon/shield and caught in FC/midcast a lot.

The mijin gakures were a joke with this setup, on average, doing about less than 200 dmg for people with full buffs.

^ I was the summoner.

The tank needs to make sure they all stay grouped together for Lunatic Voice, I missed 1-2 a few times, and the BP timer is annoying.

I also tended to keep up Titan and just spammed Earthen Ward (Stoneskin) to further mitigate any Mijin Gakure damage while giving a DEF bonus with Avatar's Favor. I could see a benefit to MDB from Cait Sith but she's less useful otherwise.

Avatars aren't protected and will probably die after each Mijin Gakure as well, so keep that in mind.

Those difficulties with the tank are why they didn't use one for their setup, and instead had their WAR sub NIN, along with the RDM binding to ensure single fights. Their physical attacks are going to be so empowered that everyone — including, if you're using them, a tank — needs shadows.

A PLD/NIN as tank & main healer would likely work well. (Assuming the group still uses a RDM/SCH for Bindga.) And NIN obviously wrecks this ambuscade, and would've worked great in place of their WAR too.

If you just make sure to silence the mob and then WAIT for it to throw its weapon BEFORE you kill it then their spells don't start doing more damage after each one dies.

I didn't even need addle using this tidbit. Still kept mobs slept tho just to be safe, but honestly I think I might have been able to do it without them slept.

How did they handle the tank losing their weapons? Those moves hurt after a couple mobs go down. Looks like the tank was PLD/RUN.

Their encumbrance and defense down moves can be avoided with shield blocks, these debuffs almost never land if the PLD has Ochain and some "Chance of successful block" pieces. I can keep our tank alive easily on SMN when he has all the mamools in front of him with Thureous Earring, Zwazo Earring +1, JSE mantle and -DT equipped in all sets. SMN can also weaken them with Tidal Roar and Slowga.

Great, thanks a lot for the info! I was using Priwen + ensured Reprisal was up full-time. Maybe it was positioning, or maybe I need to get an extra piece or two of block gear.

Just curious, not like it matters, but do the mobs get a DT boost or something as they get empowered from another death? I noticed my ws are noticeably lower on the last two than they are on the first two, same buffs/debuffs throughout.

I've noticed some strangeness with this particular move this month. I had some cases where I was able to confirm that I blocked it(via battlemod) but still got encumbered. It was very strange.

That said, It still didn't encumber me on PLD the vast majority of the time.

Just FYI, you don't need hachirin in your Helix set; helices automatically gain weather bonus.
