    BLU/NIN pretty much rocks this.

    My group regularly does this with as little as BLU/NIN, RDM/NIN, and WHM/BLM so it's not as hard as you might think. No rings yet, but two pairs of boots...

    Clean pulls are the key. When that fails the RDM/NIN acts as the off-tank. RNG types are very easy to hold and the THF ones can be slept (although highly resistant). Always kill the BLM ASAP (but don't necessarily pull it first if others are clean)!

    Mnk Nin Rdm also works great for trioing, can clear it most of the time in slightly over 20 minutes.

    This can also be trioed with 2 BLMs and a RDM, taking usually about 25+ of the allowed 30 minutes.

    The only time we have had a problem was when we received the Opo-opo cerebral tissue graft three times in a row. Having to rest after just about every Lamia due to the halved MP was terrible. The slow from the Goobbue graft can be pretty rough too on recast timers.

    The Prosector resists Aspir quite a bit so having the RDM for Refresh is key, along with the additional elemental damage and enfeebling (Bind/Gravity/Sleep).

    You have flee, it's easy to just run out of range with raptor graft.
    I always forget that.

    I have done this a few times as BLU/NIN, with a THF/NIN and RDM/WHM (paralyna). Works quite well until you get one of those +Attack Up/+Slow enhancements. Then all your Utsusemi/Head Butting will be for naught as you start seeing 90 second recasts... 16 second recasts on Head Butt...

    And I'll concur, the trick is getting a clean pull from the groups.

    Whatever set up you try, it's generally a good idea to pull the Sharper and/or Bowyer first. If you try and pull the Prosecutor first, it start casting something before approaching you, often linking a bunch of stuff.

    We go with 2-3x melee and RDM/WHM(me). Stun isn't necessary but would definitely make me feel better, although I prefer having Paralyna and Poisona. The Lamia in there tend to use a Paralyga AoE which is pretty powerful and Poisonga II will eat your HP away fast. I came WAR sub by mistake once, but we still managed, so WHM subjob definitely isn't necessary either.

    When my group of 3 does this we usually go in NIN/DRK, NIN/WAR and RDM/WHM (sometimes have 2 NIN/WAR's and 1 RDM/DRK). Usually the -ga isn't a problem but have 1 NIN sub DRK just to be safe. Try our best to avoid links (which is pretty easy), but sometimes due to the fact that they have ranged attacks/high tier black magic spells we get a link or two. All in all its a pretty easy assault though. 1/5 for Divisor Ring on ??? rings at the moment and 0/2 on the Solea and have gotten 3 or 4 boxes (all Tsurara).

    Ugh, we're like 0/too many on ??? rings, 1/lots on solea, and a ton of boxes. I was so happy when a few people said they'd like some Mamool-Ja Training Grounds items, because we got to go back to cranking Double Agent out in like 5 minutes instead of spending 20 on this crap. For more AP, too.

    You have more rings then boxes? I've been doing this assault since I obtained SM (about 22ish/25 for next rank) with nin/war rdm/smn (yehyeh, it's for carby pull) 2x blm/whm and so far we've got 0/2 rings, 0/5ish solea and about 10ish boxes...

    Hell, I've done enough assaults for 5/5 Yigit and I've only seen 3 r/e items (imperial ring, yigit staff and the assault:+15mp -3 enmity earring) and 1 "hq" appraise (archers ring). I'm not expecting to see either the solea or ring for a longass time (even though you only read about success stories... but for every winner there are thousands of losers)
