Dear All Users,
If you haven't finished your initial three Promyvion zones, your last excuse has gone away. Here's a strategy anyone can use.

Super Ultimate Promy Strategy v2.4x^3
1) Go to Promyvion-Holla.
2) Farm. Acquire a Recollection of Fear from the Wanderers.
3) Farm more. Acquire a Recollection of Pain from the Weepers.
4) Back to Jeuno with you. Talk to Harith @ Ru'lude. Trade him 2,000g plus a Recollection. Do this for both recs. Make Psychoanima + Hysteroanima.
5.1.1) macro 1: /item "Psychoanima" <t>
5.1.2) macro 1: /p OMG Psychoanima >>> <t> BBQ
5.2.1) macro 2: /item "Hysteroanima" <t>
5.2.2) macro 2: /p WHOA Hysteroanima >>> <t> KITTENZ
5.3) Test your macros against another player while you're standing up. You'll get a message that you can't use your animas on another player. Sigh a bit, for this is depressing news. But at least you'll know your macros work.
6) Enter a crag of your choice. (If you haven't beaten Holla, seal your memory first.)
7) Go to the Spire. Don't care if you stealth it, force it, do it with friends, in a box, with a fox, in a house, with a mouse, one fish two fish red fish blue fish get to the spire.
8) Designate one person to call animas -
OR
8) Set up an order in advance.
9.1) Start the fight. Count 5 seconds.
9.2) First person uses Psychoanima. Count another 5 seconds.
9.3) First person uses Hysteroanima.
As we all know, Psychoanima stops all physical attacks, and Hysteroanima blocks all specials. The goal of this system is to use Psychoanima to time Hysteroanima. See, you can tell when Psycho wears off, because the monster starts beating the hell out of your tank again. That makes it very easy to see when Hystero wears off. Simple!
9.4) When your tank gets hit again, second person uses their Psychoanima. Count 5 seconds.
9.5) Second person uses their Hysteroanima.
Continue using animas in this fashion. This removes the entire "timing issue" that gets parties killed; as long as you can remember "use anima when tank gets slapped" you will greatly reduce the risk of mis-timing your macros. ^^
Given that the boss will be hitting with physical attacks only between Psychoanima uses, your curing needs will be greatly reduced. The only thing you'll have to do is make sure that you've taken along plenty of damage to make the boss die before your 6 sets of animas wear off entirely.
This is not hard to do. These battles can mostly be won by using four very well timed Hysteroanimas, and honestly you can win without any animas if you have the right support items and your team doesn't panic. With twelve animas to a team (six Psycho, six Hystero), the only thing the boss can do is stand around and look dumb while you help usher it into the next life.

If for some reason you feel the need for an intense Promyvion workshop, feel free to peruse the guides in my signature. Past that, happy hunting, and I'll see all the rest of you in Lufaise Meadows sometime. ^^
