Chalk up another win, this time with a slightly different strategy. This strategy seems much safer than my original strategy and thus I'll share setup and strategy with everyone.
Party setup: DRK/SAM (Moliones Sickle + ring to max souleater) BLU/THF (Could of subbed /WAR instead as he was the tank) RNG/NIN (Kiter) SMN/WHM (Curaga II spammer and DD using Leviathan and Garuda) WHM/SCH WHM/SCH
Strategy: Part 1: Buffs Protectra V Shellra V Bar of choice, we did thunder noctoshield? from smn
Part 2: Killing RNG/NIN runs into the room aggroing both Shantotto's, places him or herself all the way to the wall and just casting utsusemi, at this point Shantotto only cast single target spells and do no melee unless you walk right up to her
DRK/SAM stuns D. Shantotto then moves all the way to the door entrance, no one touches D. Shantotto before she's all the way up to the door, at this point all melee (except kiter) positions themselves between D. Shantotto and the mages.
When Shantotto starts running to help D. Shantotto, RNG/NIN uses shadowbind, then joins in on killing D. Shantotto
All mages stand at max casting range at all times, if they see themselves getting hit by AoE, they move further back.
When Shantotto and D. Shantotto teams up, they start casting -ga's and use AoE WS's, at this point all mages spam their highest Curaga spells.
After this point there is no actual strategy, mages spam heals, melee spam damage. one of the AoE debuffs is a very strong plague, this -must- be removed to allow melee to actually do damage.
Once D. Shantotto goes down, Shantotto is more or less a piece of cake in comparison, she has an AoE stun (thus the barthundra) but other than that she's not too hard.
If a person dies before D. Shantotto goes down, reraise, asap, your party needs you to kill D. Shantotto, if you wipe before D. Shantotto dies, and you've used all 2 hours already, your chance of success lowers drastically. Despite wiki's lies, if you wipe and both Shantotto's are still alive, they -will- still rage.
Extra strategy: If you wipe before D. Shantotto is dead, switch out the RNG/NIN kiter with SMN/WHM, reason is that second time you fight them, Shantotto will use AoEs and melee, making it hard for a melee to kite her, be careful not to actually get her to 75% health while D. Shantotto is still alive, if you do, you will invoke Shantotto's rage.
P.S D. Shantotto is not resistant to holy bolts, Shantotto is, neither are resistant to souleater. (09/11/15 04:57)
