Missions: Promyvion-Dem (CoP 1-3)

Kiki joined up with a ClanBEB run on Promyvion-Dem on Friday night (having got NIN up to 15 during the week). This is a good starter Promyvion - with guidance from the experienced players, we made it through nearly without incident, and the boss fight was very straightforward. Our party of six consisted of RNG/NIN (Midget), PLD/WAR (Marilyn), NIN/RNG (Lucrezia), WHM/RDM (Atrayu), RDM/SMN (friend of Atrayu), and WAR/NIN (Kiki). Yobun accompanied us as a PLD/WAR to help us all get to the Spire safely.

Our plan was to avoid aggro as much as possible as we headed to the memory receptacles to get to the next levels. We'd fight the strays while Midget would concentrate on the memory receptacles. The AOE knockback effect can be countered by standing with one's back to one of the four pillars surrounding the memory receptacle, which is pretty handy.

Yobun got aggro'd on the second level when he was scouting, and told us to stay back and let him die.

After the mobs wandered off, we raised him and continued on. We had to fight once or twice, but didn't have much trouble at all. The biggest problem was Lucrezia's internet connection. She got disconnected 3 times on the way up to the spire, and once again after we had defeated the boss. Since this was the last one she needed to do, it would have been bad to have missed out!

For the boss fight, Marilyn tanked, and Lucrezia used her three special animas. Kiki used her 2-hour (mighty strikes) when Midget said to - the mob was at about 2/3 HP. I believe Midget used his (eagle eye shot) at the very end, and that's what killed it. So basically we all pretty much bashed away at it until it was dead. The Dem boss doesn't have any AOE attacks, and no status effects either, so it really was pretty simple.

I'm really looking forward to doing the next two, and doing them again as other people need to do them as well.
