Alright, below are the current setups for each battlefield. Some people are on the same job the entire time. Others change jobs between each fight. I tried to keep job changes to a minimum. If you see someone in a setup that doesn’t belong (i.e. doesn’t have sea access but is listed in SoF), please let me know ASAP. Had to change things around slightly yesterday because of this.

Storms of Fate
THE PLAN
Currently short one person due to losing two people last night. Should be able to fill the spot once I talk to a couple people.
Zerg Setup:
Krizz – WHM
Laeticia – DRK
Nightstalka – DRK
Izabella – MNK
Valienta – MNK
Fathomdoll – BRD
Jakes – WHM
Urial – SAM
Zombieman – SAM
Zidan – SAM
Javibe – DRK
Jaysin – BRD
Kaskaru – RDM
Uttahutta – BLM
Kanokticheck – RDM/DRK
Miemo – RDM/DRK
Doomsday – SAM
Creepela – BRD
30 minute fight
XP is lost upon death
HP/MP are restored upon entry
The strategy for this fight is to zerg. We will fully buff up (pro/shell/etc.) immediately upon entry. At this point DDs will build TP via whatever method they can (Meditate/opo opo necklace/etc.). Once everyone is ready, we will rotate BRDs who will use Soul Voice and other JAs to buff the DDs. As soon as the third set of songs is done, we will initiate the fight. RDM/DRKs will chainspell + stun Bahamut. As soon as DDs are in range, they should unleash their 2 hours. Also, if the AH can support it, we will have Icarus Wings on hand for additional weapon skills if needed.
This fight should be fairly straight forward and short. The fight itself should last less than a minute.
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED
Due to certain key people not showing up, I felt that a zerg was not appropriate. Looking back, we probably would have won anyway, but I didn’t want to take the chance. I had never done the fight before.
Krizz – WHM
Zidan – PLD
Urial – PLD
Valienta – THF
Fathomdoll – BRD
Laeticia – DRK
Gyron – MNK
Svedin – SAM
Kanokticheck – SAM
Kaskaru – RDM
Miemo – BRD
Uttahutta – WHM
Balios – DRK
Izabella – MNK
Zombieman – SAM
Doomsday – SAM
So even though we were two short, I felt we had wasted enough time. I also had read where a group of 12 did it this way and were fine. I have no doubt that it is true. The biggest danger on this fight is megaflare. If the DDs draw hate when it’s used, it hurts. If the DDs kill it too fast and it does back to back megaflares, it hurts. If the DDs draw hate for gigaflare, it wipes everyone it hits.
If I do this fight again, without zerging, I will have my DDs turn around at every 10% for megaflare. This way the tank has hate for sure and the mages can heal up any major damage before the next megaflare.
————————————————-
The current plan is to allow 2 hours to reset before moving on to Divine Might. This will also give everyone a break between fights to get ready and change jobs if necessary.

30 minute fight
Buffs do NOT wear upon entry.
TP is NOT lost upon entry.
XP is lost for this fight due to it technically being a quest.
We will build TP via meditate / opo opo necklaces / etc. We will also buff outside the battlefield to save time. The biggest problem on Divine Might is the time limit.
My PT will be the tank PT. The DD PT will focus on the same target. The second PT is the kiting PT. Both PLDs have W.legs and gear that should be sufficient to hold off the mobs until everyone else is ready.
The key to this fight is killing at least two of the Ark Angels before wiping. Each Ark Angel has access to both 2 hours. They will usually both be used in the fight. One 2 hour will be used more than once.
Ark Angel order is Mithra (BST/THF) (pet after) >> Galka (DRG/SAM) (wyvern after) >> Hume (WAR/NIN) >> Elvaan (PLD/WHM) >> Taru (BLM/DRK)
Once the mobs are pulled, the tank PT will first target the Mithra (BST/THF). She is to be zerged. That means DDs will use 2 hours and take her down ASAP. If anyone is charmed before she goes down, they should immediately let everyone know so they can be slept. Perfect dodge is used once. DDs should keep an eye out for this to ensure 2 hours and WSs are not wasted.
The danger on the Galka (DRG/SAM) is Meikyo Shisui. After 75% it will be used multiple times. Shadows can be used to disrupt the skillchain. Aside from having probably the most HP out of the Ark Angels, there isn’t much special about him. Can resummon wyvern if it dies.
Again, the goal is to kill both the Mithra and Galka before wiping. Though not wiping at all is preferred.
The Hume (WAR/NIN) is probably the most dangerous out of the Ark Angels. Mijin Gakure is devastating. Might Strikes can be used repeatedly. The goal is to take him down as quick as possible to avoid Mijin Gakure or at least take as little damage as possible. Any 2 hours that might be left over from the Mithra will be used here as well as Icarus Wings.
The Elvaan (PLD/WHM) can one shot a player with Sprits Within. We will need to tread lightly here. At this point the kiters will not be holding mobs. They will act as backup tanks. Additional things to look out for are AOE dispel and AOE WS that inflicts silence as well. DDs will wait until benedicition is used to go all out. Invincible can be used multiple times.
The Taru (BLM/DRK) will be in the starting area at this point still. He should go down fairly quick. Has AOE petrify. Can teleport around the battlefield forcing DDs to chase. Mana Font is used once. Blood weapon is used multiple times.
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED
This actually went according to plan. The PT setups were changed due to all the replacements I had to find. The strategy itself was solid. The fight is pretty chaotic, but the key here is not to panic.

After killing the mithra and galka (which almost went bad due to hate issues), the rest was a joke. The hume went down within seconds due to icarus wings being used. That’s not an exaggeration. I don’t think I got more than one cure off prior to it dying.
Thanks to everyone that came out to assist with Divine Might that didn’t need it.

This fight was actually postponed due to how long it took to get started on the other two.
If you see the name of someone you don’t like let me know. I want to keep peace between the groups, and will separate people if possible. If you have a problem so big that you can’t set it aside for these fights, let me know and I will remove you from the list(s).
