This is my favorite BCNM as it has the most expensive drop of most of the BCNM's which is Peacock Charm. Other drops that are worth anything include Erase and Utsusemi: Ni. Currently me, Bsod and Fsod static this BCNM as NIN/BLM(me), NIN/WAR(Fsod), and RDM/BLM(Bsod). It is a level 40 capped fight against 3 hecteyes type mobs.
Sobbing Eyes: This eye is the biggest of the 3 eyes. It uses Firaga II, Breakga, and Bind as well as the normal hecteyes tp moves Hex Eye, Death Ray, and a regen I can't remember the name to.
Compound Eyes x2: These eyes are the smaller eyes that are easy. They use Fire 2, Death Ray, and Hex Eye.
When we enter the BCNM Bsod buffs up with Stoneskin, Phalanx, Protect, Shell, and Blink. He then rests up to full mp. Me and Fsod cast Utsusemi: Ni. Once Bsod's mp is full he casts Barstone and Barparalyze. We then run up to where the mobs are. Bsod does a elemental seal and casts Paralyze on the Sobbing Eyes. Immediately me and Fsod grab ourselves our own Compound Eyes. In order to tank these eyes we need to avoid Paralyze. So instead of pulling out weapons we turn our backs to the mobs and use the Ni versions of our 6 elemental nukes. As a NIN/BLM with INT gear and a melon pie each nuke of mine does around 98 damage or so unresisted. While me and Fsod are tanking and killing our eyes Bsod is running down the hill with the Sobbing Eyes. He keeps it bound and gravityed as much as possible while keeping up his stoneskin and blink to avoid getting hit. After the eye is bound he runs out of casting range and waits for it to catch up or start nuking on him again in which he binds again and runs. Meanwhile me and Fsod finish up soloing our eyes while keeping up shadows and nuking. Once me and Fsod kill our eyes we then go run to save Bsod. Because of stoneskin and blink bsod should have taken very little to no damage and me and Fsod have very little damage taken due to shadows. Fsod tanks the Sobbing eyes while me and bsod stand back so only one person gets hit by the firaga II's. I continue nuking the Sobbing Eyes while Bsod nukes and throws a cure every now and then. Once the Sobbing Eyes is dead the BCNM is complete and a Treasury Crate spawns where the Eyes originally spawned. One person runs up and clicks on it and you are ported out of the BCNM with the drops in treasure pool.
On this BCNM we are so far about 1/20 on the peacock charm. We have gotten a few Utsusemi: Ni's and Erases as well. Before I did this BCNM with bsod and fsod I got like 2 peacock charms in like 8 runs so I believe we are just on a bad luck streak.
Other setups that can be used for this BCNM I would say BLU/NIN x2, RDM. Basically the BLU/NIN's can take the place of 2 ninjas and just backwards tank and spam their abilities.
BLU/NIN x3. I'd say this setup would each grab an eye of their own. The BLU holding the Sobbing Eyes would head butt everytime the eye tried to breakga or firaga 2.
BLM/RDM x3. This setup would just elemental seal their best aga spell on the Sobbing Eyes probably killing off the 2 compound eyes then just finishing off the big eye with a couple more nukes.
SMN x3. This setup can all just astral flow all 3 to death easy.
