Did AM35 Gessho fight. Set up: pld/war, mnk/nin, drg/sam(me), rdm/blm, rdm/whm, brd/whm.
1st attempt: Ate Meat. (coeurl) Idk what i was thinking, but I went on Hasso mode and took enough hits early on in the battle to get killed along with the bard from his 2 hour half way through. I also for some dumb reason forgot to use angon at start orz. Mnk and pld pulled out their 2 hour to try to finish it, reached up to 10% before getting wiped. {Seigan} {yes please} >.>/
2nd attempt: Ate Meat. (coeurl) (same pt, mind you pld and mnk used up their 2 hour.) Went on complete seigan 3rd eye mode this time. So much better for my health. Angon at start. However, mnk died early on this time. I pulled a 2 hour at 50% pulled a back to back penta for 1450-1500 (the first penta was after my 2nd angon). At about the same time, both rdm chainspelled and started nuking. I died after my 2nd WS from hate, and the mages shortly afterwards. Party wiped at 3%... =-=;
3rd Try: Ate Tav Taco (ran out of meat, only had that from my pld xp pt orz) By this time, all of us had used up our 2 hour. We went over some stratedgy of what we did wrong, and decided to give it one more chance. Played a bit more conservatively, more carefully, mages kept the adds from swamping the front line jobs, used my angon twice, kept on 3rd eyeing, remembered to empathy and deep breath this time. Everyone on their A-game. No one died. Beaten boss relatively quick. (record time was by my ls mate, bah)
Moral of this story: Experience over zerging.
