Low Man Proto Ultima Strategies

I'm looking for a low man strategy to beat Ultima so we can get the Ultimate Atma. Can he now be beat at level 90 with a 4 man party? The jobs we have available are Pld, nin, mnk, for tank, and blm, rdm, whm for magic damage and support, sam, drg, or war for dd's. Any positive help or ideas would be appreciated.

/crickets.

anyone have any thoughts on this?

Should probably post peoples jobs, so it's easier to setup a party.
But I'd say PLD tank for sure, as they get the best MDT\MDB sets.

all the aoe magic damage was pretty shitty in that fight at 75, you'd probably need more than 1 white mage for healing

I've heard of NIN+WHM duoing it. Migawari vs. Citadel Buster, I assume. You can eat two before it's really an issue if you time it properly, and two should be all the time you need to kill it.

Triod(duo really, dual boxed WHM) as NIN/WAR(kannagi) COR/SAM(no emp)WHM/SCH. Wasn't very difficult at all, keep your healer 20+ yalms from the tank and keep your shadows above 2 at all times. Cure4 for cureskin after its buff wipe TP move so you don't get 1 shot by holy and switch to evas set durning the terror. Shell5 after cureskinning and don't let your nin drop below 100% durning terror or they can die ._. Migawari every citadel buster and the whm + cor runs out of range. Rolls used were regain and MDB.

edit: Also can very easily land kurayami/hojo/jubaku/yurin so keep them up at all times to make him a complete joke to tank :D

:o good to know sounds really easy now

Proto-Ultima is a joke with a BLU. He never builds resistance to Head Butt's stun effect so just bring a BLU to spam Head Butt the entire fight and it'll be smooth. MNK NIN or THF work well as a tank.

If you can find someone with aegis or a strong mdt set, pld + rdm + 2 smns is a snooze fest. If not the migawari strat works well too :x

/joy

Great news! Thanks everyone for the information.

Hurr, forgot about migwari :< lol

I just did this with pld, smn, whm, rdm(me). The smn was doing blood pacts and the pld and i were making light SC. I kept para2, slow, refresh and phalanx2 up. the pld and i just ate citadel buster most it did was 1300 to the pld and least it did was 300. smn died at around 30% due to a random Holy2 cast that wasn't on me or the pld but was a super easy and fun fight.

How about two BLUs? 1 BLU/NIN and 1 BLU/WHM or BLU/SCH for helping with status effects. Can 2hr once the trouble starts at the end, and set up Saline Coat right before that.

It would be rather difficult because antimatter will most likely one shot you with only shell2. I had shell2, magic barrier(400ish stoneskin) and it did 1,110 dmg to me. Antimatter is instant so you can't stun that ws unless you land a lucky one just before it starts. RDM+BLU should be fine with shell5.

Guess we'll have to wait a few weeks and get Harden Shell to be able to do it then. :P
