Suggested strategy. Warning, this fight is probably going to take longer than the actual boss using this method.

Have 3 melee attack the NM from 3 cardinal directions (N S E W) put all support in the last direction. If you have any other melee have them hang back and swap in if/when one of the original 3 dies (usually from a charmed person). Have 2 smns use ifrit's meteor strike from afar. Also, helpful to have someone stun it's non frond fatale tp abilities. When it is used, ALL damage stops. All melees turn away from NM, smns hold BPs and mages cease casting. Suggested to have a cor that can light shot charmed players. Even 1 accidental BP can result in full bloom. Once charm wears, everyone re-engages. Also helpful to have someone, such as a pld, be flashing it occasionally so that it doesn't go after the mages once the DDs have been charmed too many times to keep hate effectively. Rinse and repeat till it dies.

New age strategy: Bring a GEO (with Dunna and capped skill, which is the only way I take my GEOs because I am a snob, deal with it!) which is IMO the best buffing job for the zone anyway to pair with a BRD. Using Indi-Attunement and Geo-Vex with Blaze of Glory players will generally resist charm as well as the other debuffs from the mob (including amnesia). --Spicyryan (talk) 13:38, 2 October 2014 (EDT)
