Low man experimental lamia strat

[Minihex]

Looking at doing this for some staves, wondering what low man setup would be best for this. Have 6ish people. Movment speed available on blm / cor / rdm. Job availability is basically all. Thoughts / opinions?

MNK MNK RDM WHM BRD BLM

Zone mob to the south end of the area, have RDM drop party and continually zone it. The other 5 people should pull one add at a time when they pop, RDM will continue to zone. Once all 3 adds are dead, reparty and standard kill. MNKs might not want to counterstance, the ranged WS really hurt >_> also, take care to position so that you can avoid cone damage.

Alternatively, you can kill it with:

BLM/RDM RDM/NIN RDM/NIN

one rdm zones it repeatedly, one RDM tanks an add, blm zone-nukes add until it's dead. Repeat until all adds gone and claim right before last add dies, facing away. It will fail charm because everyone's facing away and stand there doing nothing while you nuke it down provided nobody enters melee range at all(if you fuck up on the glitch you can fall back on bio-zoning with nukes after adds are dead, won't work if they're up since they heal it).

We killed every NM with 7 people not knowing any strategy the first week. BLM BLM BLM THF RDM BRD PLD was our setup.

Anyway, what thorny posted work pretty well if you want to go with a small party. Otherwise, you just need a tank, healers, someone outside party to zone the lamia NM over and over, and 1 DD to kill the adds faster.
