We came, we saw, we conquered!
In our bid to achieve access to Lufaise Meadows, we needed to conquer the three Promies of Dem, Holla and Mea! (Pain in the arse, if you ask me.)
Last week, we got past Holla and this week... MEA!
That's what I feel. I know some people said that Holla is the toughest, but I think that Mea is the toughest! The AoE move of Carousel is enough to put all party members in close range into yellow! That's why for Mea, we had to go crazy farming for Anima just to stop this signature move!!
Our Party setup:
Flynne - WAR/NIN (Haha, no Samurai for him... Weaponskills are useless in Mea as they make the Delver go crazy with Carousel. Weaponskills = Instant Death!)
Tria - RNG/NIN
Syco - WAR/NIN
Obsan - WAR/NIN
Gensou - SMN/WHM
Maysen - WHM/BLM
Under my uber guidance (;P, I know I know), we made it up to the Spire in less than 30 mins! Which resulted in Flynne again grumbling that his food hadn't wore (That guy has some serious issues about food. :P)
We prepped our party with instructions and were well prepared ourselves with antidotes, hi-pots (you never know!) and our faithful persiko au lait!
Fighting the boss:
Our strategy was very simple. No weaponskills! The hate is shared loosely between the three war/nins, while the -ahem- beautiful ranger delivers her damage and the Summoner astral flow as many times as possible! The white mage will just heal. Anima will be used at 40% of the NM's hp.
Simple?
Haha... we always needed to have some challenge! Our White Mage died when the monster was about 50%. Wheee! Lucky for those hi-pots and then our two tanks died from poison! *sweatdrops* (Hello, Antidotes? Where are you?)So it was left with one tank! Flynne! Two DDs! Gensou and me!
Gensou Astral flowed! The Delver Carouseled dropping me to 72 hitpoints and Flynne to 42 and then I Eagle Eye-Shot! WooohooO! Delver dropped!
The winning shot:
The final cutscene! Running towards the crystal! Note the hitpoints!
So we thought that was the end of it, right? Nope! We actually did our good deed for the day!
we guided one party to the spire (They didn't have a ranger) and we helped 4 other people get Promy Mea. :D Hehe. Actually, our main objective was to help this kawaii Japanese Tarutaru white mage. He was trying his best to get Promy-Mea (His last Promy) and he joined a pick-up party that wasn't really very organised.
He stuck with us (Thanks Shiko!) and we formed a party for him and got him his last promy!!
Our for loads of fun PT set-up:
Flynne - WAR/NIN (Can he be anything else? RDM/NIN FTW? :P :P)
Weed - NIN/WAR
Marist - SMN/WHM (Who incidentally was a bit... ummm high)
Shiko - WHM/BLM
Tria - RNG/NIN
Skygt - RNG/NIN
Strategy was almost the same as the previous. Tanks share hate, blah blah. Two rangers DD, blah blah. This Party was actually a whole lot more organised than our first. We -all- had anima and came prepared with the hi-pots and hp regen drinks (although the nin went a bit crazy and bought 14 hi-pots+3 haha.)
Our uber-organised party marched into the Promy monster and everyone did their jobs! (well, hmm.. Summoner did not manage to get 2 astral flows, ._. but the rangers were uber, that's all that matter!)
Ramuh looking as though he was about to.. um do something.. Maybe Judgement Bolt? XD
The two tanks sharing hate!
Finally, its dead!!
Promies...doesn't seem so scary at all, don't they? :D
