We use BLM to pop and super tank the first 12 pops with bard to sleep then similar strategies as everyone else (Death spam).
The new ambuscade capes offer a unique ability for BLM to super tank these throughout the first 5 minutes of the fight.
A few notes:
I usually die towards the end - just too hard to keep MP up. Sometimes I have ballads which go a long way - usually I don't. When I die - we go ahead and do the wipe/reraise strategy - however this bought 10-15% of Albumen's health not worrying about sleep. We zombie during recovery and start at 85-90% which helps a ton.
A dedicated person to paralyna is a *must*. Too many times premature death was caused because of a paralyzed ether use.
When I do successfully stay alive - it's a beautiful thing. However, it can be hard to keep the mobs close enough for a horde lullaby to hit every mob. You don't have long at all with all 12 hitting you to stay alive no matter how many ethers you have.
Last note - for whoever is healing you - Mijin Gakure is 20 yalms from the Mandy. If the Mandy is in between you and your paralyna partner - likely they will die. So each batch that comes out you need to re-position yourselves slightly.
Hope you find this neat :D It's very fun as BLM to tank! 95% DT is amazingly fun =)
