Let's hear it! What do you think the best strats are? Where do you think we need improvement? Let's see if we can stay out of my {death } photo album next run!

Observations from a non-LS member attendee: 1) 2nd PLD needs to pull one of the mobs 2) Rng need to get down the stairs ASAP after the non-TT mobs have been pulled 3) Improve support jobs (ie 3 song bards)

Most important thing is to protect PLD from being 1-shotted from EV's Arrogance Incarnate.
It seems to be similar to an AOE Spirits Within as the animation is similar and it ALWAYS hits for about 1900 damage, whether it was on Syl's PLD or on my RDM.
So -damage taken gear obviously doesn't protect against it, but hopefully the "mitigates the impact of severely damaging attacks" effects do so we would need a BRD doing Sentinel's Scherzo and a SMN doing Earthen Armor. According to wiki, they stack and can lower the damage by over 70% with both on (assuming the WS doesn't bypass this too).
Another method would be to have me kite EV. I was easily binding and gravity'ing him for awhile yesterday until I got too close in the narrow passage and he shield bashed me followed by the 1-shot WS...

Here's a video of today's DM2 that I recorded. I was hoping to record our 4th win, but this can be used as a learning experience instead. Overall, we did pretty good and managed to recover from some initial deaths and even got another RNG Body for Spawk!
Btw, the recording program really slowed down my computer, which is why I was running into walls and the cursor was skipping over my intended targets/macros (even accidentally hit convert right in front of AA EV at one point lol).
Make sure to watch in full screen and 1080p resolution so you can actually read the text.

The music was from this girl Lara (http://www.youtube.com/user/lara6683), who plays video game music on violin and piano.
Video for tonight's fight coming soon. It's much better for a couple reasons: 1) We won. 2) I used a better program (Dxtory instead of Fraps), so it wasn't laggy and the color came out right.

Video from our 4th win on 5/1/2014 and our first time trying new strategy (kill TT last). Also more music by the same talented girl, though should be mostly different songs this time. Quality much better too, though still not perfect cause video had to be converted 3 times Main problem with new strategy is initial pull of EV. PLD got stunned repeatedly and mages got hate curing him. It was even worse on the 2nd fight in which we lost... Suggestion would be for me to pull EV off the supertank with gravity (right after he runs in). Youtube picked a nice thumbnail Watching recordings of yourself is a great learning tool though: Like I noticed I should really reorganize my macros so status cures aren't 3 pages away from regular cures lol I'm actually using the same set that I made over 7 years ago, which is why I cast "newer" spells like Addle by text command... Though it isn't gimping me cause my gear swaps (even though you can't see them due to plugins) go through even if I cast from menu or text command.
