Goal: Boss Run

1st Floor:
Took our time and prety much cleared out the entire West path (as well as the central areas). We went through and killed all Bifrons (bombs) first, then cleared the final/central room, then backtracked killing more mobs until we got cells that we wanted/needed.

2nd Floor:
Killed all 4 flans quickly, not caring whether spikes were up or not. Pretty sure we ended up taking the NW path (may have been SW though). Again, killed almost everything.

3rd Floor:
Hell, I can't rememeber. Killed lots. Still didn't get the gear drops we were hoping for. (ie. hardly any Feet/Legs dropped for us, but we got tons of Rings/Earrings and Ranged...)

4th Floor:
Gears. Simply put, we F-ed up. We just weren't taking them down quickly enough. 1st one warped out. 2nd one warped out. 3rd we killed. 4th warped out and we just said "screw it" and went on to the boss.

5th Floor:
Everything seemed to go well for a while. MNKs were taking their time, focusing on just keeping shadows up, but as usual, the damn thing kept wiping my shadows with AoE moves AS SOON as I would get them up. Add to the fact that my legs were still locked (therefore no Haidate and therefore less Haste) my timers kinda sucked ass. Boss was hitting us for 400s - 500s. I died at one point, but RRed and got back in there. When Cole went down, the boss started firing off homing missiles and we just declared it a loss.

Final Note:
Things for us MNKs to remember for future runs: we should get as much DMG- gear as possible. (see full list at home, but it was basically Arhat's Body (+1), maybe Head (+1) too... Patronous Ring, Jelly Ring, nyzul feet??...) Might even want to eat a Tav Taco for this boss.
Also want to make sure the RDM had Phalanx II cast on us to reduce the amount of dmg as much as possible.
