Ties that Bind and Chains that Kill.

No this isn't some weird Emo post. Come on people! It's a joke on the Bind spell and Skill chains. Because Bind generates hate so it kinda ties the mob to you. And skill chains are skill chains. :P *old draft got deleted*
Speaking of Bind and chains I did my first Promy (Mea)!!! And liked it! I could try and give a guide to this whole event but I am clearly not qualified to do so. I got most of my info from Jowah's, Souleater.org, blog which you can dig around for. My Main man Frohike's, ffxiwarrior.blogspot.com, blog which covered it from a WAR/NIN point of view. And an episode from Limitbreakradio.com, things are just much easier when all you have to do is listen :P Seeing as how I went as lolBLM to the Promys I was going on my own guide. But it was fairly simple; The empties give their element away my the color of their um...centers? And so I would just Nuke it accordingly. In case of links I would aga everything with every aga at my disposal. But I preferred to use Firaga on the tall Spider like Empty and the Memory receptacles. I am called Tognesss the burninator after all...
I was fortunate enough to be in a Promy run sponsored by some LS mates; Eodwen & Zarmina. Who had prior experience with the event. So they could fill in any gaps in my knowledge and fix my strategy. Orders were simple: follow Eo or Zarmina. This proved difficult as I ran into one of those 'You're screwed if..." situations. As seen in the picture below:

I am a lonely Mage currently surrounded by aggroing hate machines. Yes, I did die, but only once. Because I'm lucky.
Second order; when we are fighting anything big: burn it to hell. When we get to the Boss: Bind him and aga sparingly. Not to my knowledge this boss had a circle AoE tp move that resets hate and Bind causes a good size of hate... so at about 20% health it starts spamming Carnival and we lose a tank and I just casted Bind. It hates me now. So I run ot the other side of the room while tanks wait for provoke to count down. The Summoners just two hour'd. Things are looking up! Ooops...it Carnival'd killing both SMNs before they could pop anything off. I'm still running waiting for the tank to try and get on this and I'm running out of places to run. Oh no...Eo is down. He didn't get to cast shadows so he went on the Carnival too. It's me and the WHM now(Zarmina). And you know what? I'm in the red and trying to Bind this ugly thing that is not supposed to exist and Zarmina two hours. To her credit the tanks and SMN kinda got one shotted. For a moment is seems we could bounce hate with me aga'ing and her curing. No go. She just got two shotted. I died shortly after trying to sleep it. I'm smart >.>;;
But here comes another fun part. The SMNs and I have reraise. Sure it's health restarts but mana burning it is tempting. :E I'll admit it thought it was fun for the first two nukes. Then we patted each other on the back and went our separate ways. I hope I can do another Promy run with them again ^_^
