Bodyguard A and B Solo?

I was wondering how much range I would need to solo Bodyguard A and B (not the big dude) in a reasonable amount of time.
My range is only ~17500 with no % bossing.
And also how about if I duo with a bucc?
If you guys have had any experiences please enlighten us
Thanks guys

My tip is to raise willpower and get the 4 set empress for the -2 sec stun thing. I kill that bodyguard around 10 min.

They're fixed now, so BGA will Stun lock you if you give him the chance. It's best to pin him in a corner and then stand on top of him while spamming Paralyze, and even then he can still get a Stun off sometimes.
BGB is no threat. He drains your MP so just pot when necessary.
The Boss can spam 1/1 and Seal so hug him too to avoid that altogether. He's not much of a threat either and has the lowest HP of the three.
Make sure you use Slow on all three of them. It's very useful in keeping them pinned.

I used to use the VSS they drop as a good source of money way back when they were worth 30-50m a pair. Now they're worth nothing, lol.

With that range, it's going to be a bit hard. My advice is to pin him down. However, that might my be possible with a f/p Mage.

Bodyguard A is Satan's Bodyguard! Seriously, he managed to chain stun me for 10 WHOLE MINUTES before I gave up and quit.

Normal stun. But as OP said it is constant stun after stun after stun. The only way I have found to avoid the stun is to jump/attack/jump/attack/jump/attack which won't help mages who I believe need their feet firmly planted on the ground to attack.

Bodyguard B and Grandpa are as boring as the new Ravana. Just sit there and spam attack. They pretty much sit there until you exhaust their HP (which is considerable).

Is the stun the normal stun where you can heal, or is it like seduce where you can't do anything?

There's no time limit anyway, just beware of your own defense. Maybe hit the 20k mark then try?

*Took me maybe about 2/3 an hour (including last boss) with that range, however it was back then when the bosses were glitched. *Can't even remember was this pre or post ascension. Probably post.
