Hola,

I am currently ditching WHM because I hate healing people, I hate being the first to die, I hate people begging for Erase when they don't need it, I hate....

Anyways...I have been mostly reading the BLM forums and saw some discussion on Manaburn parties. Is there any manaburn parties that you've been apart of on Bismarck? How often? How do they work?

I'm still relatively new to BLM, but it's a hell of a lot of fun. If any of you have any experience, sharing them with me would be awesome, thanks.

I believe it's a party of 5 BLMs and a Bard or RDM.

Basically every BLM unloads on the mob, and you bounce hate so nobody gets wailed on and it's dead before it can do much damage.

I was thinking about trying to get something going on a party like this, need to get my BLM to 37 and I hear these parties get insane XP.

yeah, i have actually been in a few of those parties you speak of, and its the only way to do it if your a blm.. Once i was in my first BLM party, i vowed never to get xp any other way..

Basically, we did it with 4 blm 1 brd 1 rdm. sometimes it was changed up a little, like 5 blm and 1 brd or 5 blm 1 rdm..


if you are using 5blm and 1 rdm. have the RDM pull using Gravity.. and then each of the BLM needs to have a stun order..


you all are gonna nuke the hell out of the Mob.. then the first blm will cast Stun.. then continue nuking the hell out of the mob.. then Stun #2 then nuke like hell and Stun #3 and so on and so on..

It will take a little getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, you will be getting chain 5 every like 5 mins.. and when you get to the higher levels, will be getting up to chain 11. i hear that MNK parties are actually better, but i was getting about 11k xp per hour in the higher levels. 72-75


i really prefer having 4 blm 1 rdm and 1 brd because the Refresh rate is just so freaking awesome!

I hope this helps out... i know there are a few of us on Bismarck that have done this.. Jigga, Rustymetal, Andretti, Haquej, Tetsujin, Rosencrantz, umm, there were so many of us..

like i said.. hope that helps out..

Peace.

Bards aren't really ideal for a BLM PT until level 55 (Ballad II), you're better off with a more conservative strategy + a RDM before then.

The BLM PT I was in as a Bard had me pull with Elegy, sleep the mob with Lullaby, use Ice Threnody, while they all cast Freeze, then Stun, then nuked the rest off. If you're going for this method it helps to have your puller Blink and Stoneskin beforehand. And watch for the mob's level range versus the puller's level range, resist rates can really add some unwanted downtime (i.e. death).

They wanted to make it a set PT because their exp per hour was so great. Mine wasn't, because they picked the most crowded (in terms of mobs) spot in Boyahda and they didn't have any particular Stun order. >_>

Generally, you don't participate in BLM PTs before 51, when you recieve Freeze.

I have watched my friends do these parties alot. he plays on fairy. SMN carby pull also works well, bust out titan do a bloodpact and for the 10 second battle titan has hate so no blm gets hurt. It would appear that generally you need to have a -ga safe camp and every blm unleash thier most powerful spell.
takes about 8 spells to kill the mob so when timed right everyone unloads a spell for 5-6 spells at start basiccally killing it. then 2-3 blm start a stun order while the other 2-3 blm do a second nuke. this will in affect kill it. If you feel like getting risky pull 2 or even 3 at once for 5,6,7 chain all within a matter of seconds due to the -gas. Hope this helps.
