Humorous Guide to Promathia Mission: 8-4

=Technical Details= The party was PLD/WAR, COR/RNG, WAR/NIN, BST/NIN, MNK/NIN and RDM/BLM, as we had just done CoP 8-3, with the help of a highly, but not fully, merited BLM/WHM.

=First Form= This was straight forward. He has a few AoEs attacks but most uses either single target or Cone TP moves. He can be straight-tanked. He's pretty easy to defeat, Prishe helps but Sel'hetus waits for a few minutes before helping.

=Second Form=  '''OMG OMG HE'S ATTACKING!  RUN AWAY RUN AWAY!  HE'S CHASING ME!! ATTACK HIM, EVERYONE ELSE!  WATCH OUT! METEOR! FLEE!!!!  CURE PRISHE!!! DON'T LET HER DIE!!!  RAISE PRISHE! SHE'S DEAD!!  USE YOUR 2-HOUR!!!! KILL HIM!!!  WE WON!!!! ''' 

That's pretty accurate. Not sure if it was the fact that he can't be straight-tanked at all, or just has rapid hate decay (see Chigre) but no one could maintain hate long or well. So, just kite him, attack him when you can, and scatter when he casts Meteor as if you run away in a group, everyone will get hit. Your Mages should focus less on nuking, although Ancient Magic is nice, and more on keeping Prishe healthy and everyone up. And yes, the fight was that hectic, but our 2-Hours were back (a third time in 2 hours thanks to Wild Card) and Medicated from Icarus Wings had worn, so a nice Howling Fist + Asuran Fists finished him off while everyone was face down. Good night and good luck! --Ctownwoody 14:51, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
