| Re: What is the best party set up for doing promvy? Promy is usually best dual-tanked or even triple-tanked; I'd probably drop the DRG for a WAR/NIN -- or another PLD/WAR, failing that. NIN proper is typically too squishy once shadows are down, and both tanks should be able to take hits long enough for the other to voke off of 'em.
BLU is handy due to its ability to stun early, frequently, and cheaply; good pick.
RDM's primary problem in a Promy is that they don't get Raise until 38. A WHM is thus preferable for this purpose. You can make up for this if you have lots of Reraise to go around, though. Expensive, but workable.
PLD, while not preferred for Promy tanking, should be able to make do.
SMN is another good pick. An Astral Flow Pact will knock off an eighth of the boss's HP just by itself -- and a SMN can do it three times with a single use of Astral Flow, if they're paying attention and concentrate on getting MP back in between. They should start the routine about when the boss is at 50%.
Finally, RNG will benefit you in two ways. One, it'll help you track down Memory Receptacles much easier; two, they can use Spartan Bullets, which are another frequent source of stun.
Don't forget your consumables, and good luck! -- Pteryx |
