me and corr fought the NM at the end on promyvion-holla 4 times in a row yesterday, and sadly, with 2 whm and a blm who was mainly healing, their combined healing can not keep up with the damage he deals.
this has been the 3rd time iv made it to a spire, and not been able to defeat the NM. sorry to say it, but i cant have faith in any healers to keep our tank without 10 hi potions, unless each mage has 3 hi ethers and yuguado drinks.
not that it cant be done, cause one of the Pt in out alliance defeated the NM, but i would certainly not be happy if i climbed one of the areas again, only to be defeated by it again because someone was too cheap to spend 30k on things they can sell afterwards if they dont need them. its not like those hi potions and hi ethers wolnt sell in a few hours to another prmyvion partys members on AH if you didnt need them. but if you die, you will spens just as much on food and drinks for te next climb, as you saved by not buying the hi ethers/potions that would have saved your PT's life.
however, i feel we were defeated because we did not have a rng or a smn, both of who's 2hr would have taken more of the NM's health then was left each battle when we died. i wolnt go again if there isnt a rng in my party, and preferably a smn, whose 2hr and auto refresh both help tremendiously.
if anyone wants to go again, for any of the crags, i have enough gil/supplies left for about 2 more runs(maybe 3 depending on where we go, poison pots nessicary for holla are pricy). i started out with well over 250k, about half of what i needed for my sniper ring. i now have less then 50k after buying a shade headpiece, lv30 equips, and the dozens of au lait drinks, hi potions, holy water, poison potions, kabobs, and about 15 stacks of arrows.
if no one does, my rng will be 30 by next friday at the latest, took it from 19 to 22 last nite after being defeated.
