Yummy rewards aren't they? If you're Level 55+ you're gonna have a little difficulty, 60+ mild difficulty and then it gets easier from there on out. Read on to see which class you're going to be!

Teams:
Two or more teams are ideal, but seems like we'll be pushing one since we're not as active as we all once were.

Tank -- Merc or MA -- Lead the Ogres away from the battle. Circle + Arrow Formations; Perhaps Arrow + Snake Formation once we can establish we can live. Plat Spear + Shield with Better Blocker. BRING SCAPES.

Team Doctors -- Doctor -- Without doctors, we're doomed to die. Regen 11 will save a lot of lives (especially the tank's). In the tank's team, ideally we'll have have two. One aimed just for the tank and the other to save the other team member's.

Muse Support -- Musician -- Party Muse. Mantra, Ditty, Courageous, Echo, Mars, Hymn, Fuse. Rinse and Repeat.

Debuffer -- Dancer -- Debuffs Malachite to make the process faster and her hits less.

Pet Musician -- Musician -- Ideally mixed with Dancer for debuffs on Malachite. If everyone has a 61+ pet, Pets will provide additional damage to the fight. Perhaps even fuse together with a back up doc.

Damage Dealers -- BM or Hunter (Perhaps even Wizard) -- Enough said really. Spam your attacks and take out Malachite as fast as possible.

Will be the back up doc + pet muse + debuffer. I'm assuming there won't be much support at the moment. Or alternatively will be one of teh damage dealers.

SWEET!!

i'll be one of the doc's
pet muse
plus dancer debuffs. Dancer needs a lil work tho

After talking to Dae we're thinking this is how it'll end up:

Tank: Bear
Muse: Amy (Combined with Doc)
Doctors: Pix, Yv
DPS: Dae, Ryou, Lupe, One, Sandi, Ars, Drexy

We still need another Muse though...
