party setup: 4 WAR/NIN, RDM/WHM, BRD/WHM

all party members need tons of sleeping potions (opo-opo necklace for melee recommended), bard and red mage should bring silencing potions and echo drops, melees should bring eye drops.

the trickiest part is the charm order. once that is down, that member can use a sleeping potion about 5 seconds before they're drawn in and charmed. sleeping potions last for 25-35 seconds on average. Once that person wakes up (even if its still charmed), that is a sign for the next party member to pop sleeping potion. The sleeping potions will save the MP of the RDM, and keep hate on the melee instead of the mages. If a BRD or RDM is due up to be charmed, they should use a silencing potion before a sleeping potion.

when the fight begins, melees buff up, the one that trades in the orb will use a sleeping potion, and another member aggros the NM. RDM uses enfeebles and helps heal, BRD keeps up with buffs and backup heal. Melees should bring some x-potions in case they need to recover HP.

If the NM summons a pet, just put it down with sleep and/or lullaby. It will do it at least once in the fight.

It takes about 15-20 Rampages to kill the NM. Keeping DOT on the NM itself will speed up the process, especially Dia III.
