Stuck on " The Reason Roaille"

I am following the strategies I've seen online (I'm a SCH by the way), kill healer first, then the Centurion (magitek), the next wave pops before I am able to finish killing the Centurion, but it's almost dead so I'm able to finish it off, and then I kill the Claws, and then the Aquilifer who heals the Colossus, and then the guides say to kill the Colossus, but by now only one of my NPCs is left alive and he is almost dead and I fail the duty since he dies...

I am pretty stuck on this as healing NPCs in this duty is pretty pointless just because of how many NPCs and enemies are involved with the duty, plus all of the AEO and the need to kill certain mobs. I don't even have time to kill other mobs in waves besides the ones that the guides tell me to before the next wave pops even though the guides say to try and kill some of them. Should I have my healer fairy summoned for this duty? I don't think even if I do it actually heals the other NPCs so that feels like it'd be pointless... Could use some help on this, thanks!

This might seem like a silly question but are you using cleric stance while fighting? Should do so for extra damage and just keep your fairy out to heal you. Don't worry about healing npcs. What I found helpful was trying to get enmity on as many mobs as I could to protect the npcs, they will heal you if you get too low and so will your fairy. Hope this helps, stick with it, you'll get it!

Forgot about cleric stance so not a silly question! I will try that out, and hopefully it helps.

Cleric Stance is a massive increase in damage, so that should help a lot! Shadow Flare is actually really helpful here, since it has a DoT and a slow effect. Make sure you're using Bane to spread those DoTs around, too. Miasma has the Disease debuff, which makes mobs move slower and regain less hp from healing magic.

Yeah, first time I switched to Cleric Stance and followed the original strategy guide I described, I was able to clear it. :D

Awesome, good to hear it. :D

My main problem might be my gear. I'm trying to get better upgrades, by farming for tomestones, but I'm also working on Atma farming on the side too, to upgrade my weapon. Does anyone have any other tips for a clueless Dragoon, on how to clear this mission? :|

edit: bugger. didn't realize my post necroed the thread. :( I just followed the link via google. my bad. :(
