Promyvion Holla 0/10 Please Help Me!!!Follow

#1 Jan 24 2005 at 2:11 PM Rating: Decent
Hello, I am pretty much begging for help in beating Promyvion Holla now. I have done it 10 times and lost everytime. I have gotten to the NM boss each time, but no parties I have been with have been able to beat him. I always have gone prepared and I even leveld Ninja and got Utsemi just so I could go as WAR/NIN. I always seem to be the only party member to brings Animas to the fight. I currently have 2 Animas to bring. I have come close a few times, one time our SMN dc'ed at the NM fight, and we got it to a sliver with 5 of us, another time as the SMN was getting ready to end the fight with her 2nd 2hour casting, it aoed sleep, and her poison potion had wore off, then it HP drained us all and killed us one by one. I am pleading for some help on this. I normally am not too pickey about a party set-up, but I did lvl ninja just for this so here is the party I seek.

WAR/NIN - Me
WAR/NIN
RNG/NIN
RNG/NIN
SMN/WHM
WHM/BLM or SMN

I will be bringing 2 Animas, and I also hope others will have at least one Anima each. Please help me out on this, I can't take another party that isnt prepared or has never done it before. Thank you!

In the time I wrote my post you wrote this post:

Edit: Oh and I am right there with you about the people that don't bring anima, many assume that the others will bring enough and they do not need to spend time doing it. The problem emerges big time when several people in the group think this. If it wasn't so hard to get people and certain jobs I would easily kick someone out who didn't bring anima to the fight or have a really good reason not too (it is rather hard for a WHM to farm for it alone but most jobs have no excuse)

I understand the Prom. Holla boss is a real tough one, but with the way Anima drop-rates have changed, and provided that everyone is doing their part (poison potions, hi-potions, etc etc), this should be a breeze.

For those of you that are wondering, I was up in Promyvion-Dem last weekend, and on the first floor, my alliance farmed up 7 animas (5pain, 2 fear) in about 30 minutes.

I think if you spent a bit of time, to get at least 3-4 anima for the boss, you should be in good shape to beat the Prom-Holla boss.

I agree. the anima help out a ton. If u have enough of them, the NM doesnt attack you for a good deal of time. i went in last night in a great party, some of the good ole boys from the wheelchair LS. We set the record for beating it, at least since the server has been updated.

Party Build
PLD/WAR - Eddie
RNG/NIN - CTRL
RNG/NIN - Dminknight - spellin sorry
RNG/NIN - Jaydin
WHM/BLM - Kutter
SMN/WHM - Sephororaph - spellin sorry again

Rangers seem to be key damage dealers once we get here. Or our SMN just kicked serious booty. We had probably 8 anima between us. We didnt even get a chance to use them all. I believe we used 4-5 of them during the battle. Between the SMN 2 hr and the trio of rangers using sharpshoot, barrage, weopon skills and 2 hrs we smoked it so fast i didnt even use my 2hr. The paladin used his invincible about 30% of NM life to hold aggro but the last 30% went so fast i didnt even use eagele eye as i said.

This being said, we all were prepared with poison potions, eye drops for rangers to prevent missing with our 2 hr, and reraise scrolls were used just in case.

I had been 0-3 before only making it to the NM once be4 this. We may have won that one but our 2nd rng had missed on his 2 hr and the pld died b4 using invince and didnt have reraise.

Anima and other items are very necessary for each person in the party. I was lucky to find a group that was willing to do the work prior to going to the krag to be successful

I guess I didnt specify exactly why I posted this, Im not looking for people to tell me how it is won, I know how to beat it. I am asking for help from people that know what thier doing to please come with me. I currently have 2 Animas and if everyone in party has at least 1 more each, we will have 7. So if you could please spare about 1 hours time to come help me i would really appriciate it. I really don't want to be looking at 0/11 on this quest.

Good luck with this Kramer. 0/10 must be driving you crazy. My only advice is to INSIST that everyone bring anima. With Anima, any promy boss is cake with any normal XP party makeup. You don't need the "must have this job" people to win. You only need anima, patience, a good balanced party and good players. Since insisting on anima in Promy parties, i've gone from 0/10 or so (all promys) to 6/6, including 2 hollas.

I would offer to help (the boss is OK) it's just holla second floor that drives me crazy. Those fences are a pain in the ***.

Finally, I pulled it off. Earlier in the night my party and I beat Holla, we had 5 animas, and the Boss was just plain weak. There wasn't one party member that saw orange hp that fight. party set up was:

WAR/NIN - Me
RNG/NIN
RNG/NIN
SMN/WHM
WHM/BLM
WAR/NIN

Then later last night I tried Holla for the first time and even with a good party set up and 7 Animas, we got owned in the first minute. The good thing was only 2 Animas were used and no 2hrs. So we decided to try again from a new angle. The whm didnt use a reraise scroll so we just hp'ed and went back. I grabbed my PLD/WAR the 2nd time because that NM tore through my WAR/NIN like paper. Party set up was:

PLD/WAR - Me
WAR/THF
RNG/NIN
RNG/NIN
SMN/WHM
WHM/BLM

We went back and owned it. So to all those that dont think a PLD can do these, hmm, well the NM at Mea didnt tear through my PLD like it did my WAR/NIN. I am so glad to finally have finished all 3 of the promyvions. My final record is:

DEM - 1/1
MEA - 1/2
Holla- 1/11
