Promyvion-Holla, once and for all..10/9Follow

ark just made a post saying he wants to try again later this week, fighting the NM on the day that element is opposite the mobs element. im planning to run in and check its element before any partys go in next time.

oh, and ill be going as rng now, so we will have 2. iv been leveling it the last couple days, and an 24 now. if we wait till 10/9 i might even have time to get utsusemi and level my nin too.

and we cane so close to winning last nite, if only the whm had used bendiction before the nin tank died, instead of using it when the drg was the only melee left alive and was tanking. if bene was used, then nin exploded(which he was asking for full cure to do) it would have taken that sliver of health the NM had left.

Hey Eilurac,
Team Thrilla is also on a little break. We are all pretty worn out.
I'll ask and see if we're up for Saturday.

So far we had not had anything scheduled anything for this week.

I will let you know of our team is gonna come.

I've yet to beat a one of these... sigheth. As for element, I've heard Holla's element is Wind. Make sure you go in with anima! :)

I would be happy to join also, Is there a level cap so that I can get the right gear and not be naked through this. ^^ Yes, it's happened going into a battle and all of a sudden I am naked.

ill come as sam if you guys want to farm, send me a /tell. although i might be leveling rng or nin, im prob gonna level nin a bit more, then go and do utsusemi quest today, rng again tomarrow.

Atrox

I am TOTALLY for this meet! I can come as a Summoner or a Black Mage (if I get White Mage to 30 by then, cause its 26, I can go as that too =) ) And good news to all of you who are frustrated with the times that memory streams are open! At this time, those memory stream times are being ADJUSTED! So once the servers come back up and probably download a small patch for your game, the streams will stay open long enough on the 3rd floor to kill the strays and get the hell down to the 4th floor with EVERYONE! =D I'm gonna try again tonight if I can get an alliance ^^

yea, killing the strays and stuff did suck, but that didnt mean I wanted the memory stream time adjusted ... not that its sucha bad thing either, but like Atrox said, its like having the way handed to you ...

damn you ppl who cant do things right o.o

Uhm... nowhere did it say the adjustment was making it stay open longer. Yes, it would be nice, but NEVER read more into an update detail then is really there, you're setting yourself up for dissapointment.

So has anyone found out how they adjusted it?

Heyo Promyvion peeps.

Well, I have been on many a run to the prom's, and holla I am 1 of 2 there. I am more than willing to help, I'll even tank the thing (I don't kite, I tank). I would much prefer going as my rng (so I dont have to purchase more equipment, but since I must be flexible, I'm willing to tank it.

I don't really get the whole kiting thing. The time I went into the bcnm and lost in holla was to kiting, (granted if the anima would have been tossed >< my fault). Here's how I beat it. I know I'm gonna get told "you were just lucky, that shouldn't work." Whatever LOL I'm through, and hey I may have gotten lucky, but the strategy worked for someone else too. So here goes:

Again I may have just been "Lucky" but kiting it hasn't seemed to work (I'm sure it does however). My PT setup did suck, but had lots of damage in it. 2RNG, 2SAM, PLD(me w/o shield), WHM. Now, we didn't do anything fancy, we didn't kite it. I took advice from someone who said bring hi-potions. In retrospect I wish I had brought more to make it that much easier. We also did not know about the buffs stealing when we entered ><.

Par normal the potions were macrod, and the whm did not have to heal me at all really untill about halfway into the fight. So basically we fought it like any NM that a group fights (not HNM kiting style, but heads up kiss my *** you mob style). Also par normal the sam's 2hr'd and the rng's two hr'd and then it was dead.

Thats How I recall the fight. Later in the week I came across a friend of mine that had lost at 1 point who was there when we fought it. Out of the alliance my team was the only one to survive (later I found out why, I have now lost to this sob ><).

Bottom line, I think with good communication, and lots of potions, straight up tanking works very well in Holla. By good communication I mean tank saying hes using his last potion so whm knows when to start curing him. Oh well, it worked for me, may not work for you. Take from it what you will, and again I'm willing to help.

kiting makes me feel like a sissy lala, i hate that strat. we are going to fight it straight up this time, with more dd.

see you saturday. is this an evening or afternoon affair.

anima's stun the enemy. They have different effects, I know one of them stuns the mob for a good deal of time. I'm not sure which one, and I dont know what the rest of the animas do. They each have a different effect on the mob is what I know :P

Interesting lol straight tanking was met with a better opinion then I thought LOL.

Thrilla I'm more than willing to come if it is an afternoon affair. Say starting around 2-3PST. I get off work @1pm PST, and I'm more than willing. I'll even buy potions for the tank. We need Hito in on this, unless hes beat it?!? Talking to him though I dunno. So I'll go talk to him today when I get on.

BLM reporting for duty, sir.

Yenno what ... yes, lets just take this guy head on with the good ol classic battle stradegy ... Ark, you'll just have to get lots of potions to heal yourself ... the WHM (dont know who yet), Jeryhn, and myself can keep the heals going, while Atrox and Drizzwest deal on the dmg ... maybe this time jeryhn can try to get his Astral Flow in right...

Regardless, yeah I think Ive grown tired of the kiting plan ... too many "ifs" involved for everything to go right ... i think if we just keep the tank healed and deal out the 2Hs right at the end, the battle should go smoothly...

So, what time should we meet?? I'll prob be gathering later on in the day, but if lots of people are only available during the afternoon, I can be flexible...
