Here's another guide from back on October 23, 2005 for another BCNM20.
-- Ikonic
Requirements
- RDM excels at this BCNM (Enthunder is the key to winning).
- Any subjob can work for this. WAR is good for main tank. WHM, BLM, and SMN are good for extra MP. NIN is good for dual wield.
- Best to have 3 RDM, but if only have 2 you can also do it. 3rd spot can be filled with any melee, but their main job would be to kite mobs since their DMG would be exceedingly low.
Food needed per round:
None. No food is needed at all for this BCNM, but having some potions or eithers (or Pear au Lait or Yagudo Drinks) isn't a bad idea for safety.
Strategy
- Enter BCNM.
- Each person cast Shell on themselves (assuming 3 RDM).
- One person cast Protectra.
- Enthunder yourself.
- Eat Pie if you desire.
- Rest to full.
- Go to edge of arena.
- Have one RDM set to Bind right Metal Crab.
- Have 2nd RDM (and 3rd, if you have three) set to Bind and Silence Heavy Metal Crab (middle one, boss).
- Have everyone attack left Metal Crab.
- If only 2 RDM 3rd member can target Heavy Metal Crab and kite it, however someone will still need to Silence it.
- Recast Bind and Silence as needed. It's best to always keep the Heavy Metal Crab Silenced.
- Cure pt members as needed.
- Food is not needed, but sometimes it may be useful.
Macros
Assist
/assist <stpc>
Cure I
/ma Cure <stpc>
Cure II
/ma "Cure II" <stpc>
Enthunder
/ma Enthunder <me>
Bind
/ma Bind <stnpc>
Silence
/ma Silence <stnpc>
WS
/ws "Gust Slash" <t>
Pear au Lait
/item "Pear au Lait" <me>
Hi-Potion
/item Hi-Potion <me>
Potion
/item Potion <me>
Notes
- <stnpc> is very valuable in events such as this so you can act on another mob than the one you are attacking.
- <stpc> is also valuable so you can heal other players while still attacking a mob.
- Foods are not needed, but they can only help. MP foods are the best.
- Macro everything. Delay is a killer.
- Potions are much faster than Cures.
