So I started this Psychotic downward spiral of gaming fun about a 2 months ago. One night with the help of a few other players that I have seen on this board I completed the Promyvions Mea and Dem. Now I need the Holla so that I too can join in the fun of the new areas.

My Problem:

I have gone on roughly 10 runs through the Promyvions, 7 of which were to Holla.

We usually do ok, but one thing or another is just 'off' enough to lose, like Wrong sub, out of range for a weaponskill, not using an X-Potion soon enough, etc...

The 7 times I have gone to Promyvion Holla was with new people, and the dynamics were different every time.

And...

My main gripe:

Every one that has successfully completed the mission has promised to help but when the time comes, no one is available. You ever try to herd cats?

Please help me out. If you are worried about supplkies, I am a pack mule of sorts for this excursion, the following will be provided to MY GROUP:

Melee (each):
1 x Icarus Wing (for instant TP at the beginning of the battle)
5 x X-Potions (150HP has a 5 second delay on activation, use it when you are 150 from cap not as a last resort.)

Mages (each):
2-3 x Hi-Ether (Instant MP)

All:
6 Poison Potions
6 Holy Waters

What I would like for my group is the following, based on past experiences:

War/Nin: Tank, and Damage.

Nin/War: Paralysis, Blind, And Poison.

Thf/Nin: (me) Believe it or not, I do well in there as long as I have enough Holy water to keep me uncursed...

Smn/Whm: Half HP on the boss >> 3x Astral Flow = Boss death.

Smn/Whm: As stated above, Smn seem to be THE major Damage dealer in this fight, Two would be better.

Whm/Blm: BACKUP Healer! Potions should be priority to keep hate on tanks. Elemental Seal + Debuff.

AND: I need 6+ Mercenaries to get to the spire. Rangers, Summoners, Black Mages, Healers etc... The more people we get the faster it will go.

Please help me. I have been at this for 2 months now, and Bastok currently has control of the Acapelico, I want to run a supply quest.
 
I would Also Like to comment that I was pretty peeved that this game was so group oriented, I got over it, Now it has become exceptinally ALLIANCE oriented...
 
Um... Just to point out, the game's already alliance-oriented. While everyone gets a couple high-levels to help them with X quest, the quest was originally designed for a bunch of people lower level (Genkai and AF quests come to mind) to alliance up and complete.

But at the same time, if SE's gonna make it so alliance-oriented, they need to make a better search system. I want to be able to set a Exp comment and not lose my Mission/quests comment. Exp comment would be shown on /sea unless it was not set, at which point it would go to Missions/quests, items, then other.

...

Hey, that's a pretty good idea. /em runs off to other forums to post it.
 
iuf you want to see a good example of how to do prom holla, look for the vid that devifoxx posted of me and him going in.
2 war/nin, 2 rng, whm, smn
the 2 war/nin really have to communicate to each other when to voke off so utsesemit can be cast again and vice versa....about 1/3 life the wars use their 2 hrs as well as the rangers using thiers and the summoner follow up with his to finish it off. with us doing that, we made record time....time was just over 9 mins for the previous record....ours was just over 6
 
Hi Phraust, Nice to see you in the forums. Yaeh i did Promyvion with Phraust a few times, she's nice to party with. Sad to say i need Holla as well :( Died 4 times in Holla and i am already partially giving up on it. Everyone i ask who is doing Holla says it's LS only or we don't need s summoner for Holla cause of AoE Avatar sleep but yet i still see ppl using smn there :(

Guess i'm not wanted :cry:
 
Teng! Every time I start up an Alliance that is going you are not on...

I am Planning for tomorrow(Saturday Nov.6) If you want to go....

Time to herd cats again..
 
hmm, from what i have heard(and saw from the 1 time i did holla). its best to get urself a pt of ppl beforehand. get everyone some form of anima(whether by farming the memories or buying them). good amount of the paralysis one especially ^^. then go make an alliance on the date ur pt agreed to...keep ur own pt prepared for the BC, others will have to look out for themselves :p

or atleast thats what i plan to do. still looking for a rng/nin for my pt -_-
 
eh i found me one in my LS :P doing prom dem this weekend(figured i would start easy) ^^ wish me luck :D
 
I'll always be up for a Promyvion(as soon as I get NIN to 15) as WAR/NIN or even PLD/WAR.
