Thanks for the info.

Unfortunately, I'm probably going to have to pass on this, as much as it kills me. I like to think I'm a damned good PLD, it's how I managed to make it this far with my lousy gear.

But that's just it, my gear is nowhere near the level it should be for this and since PLD is my only 50, well, I'm likely SoL.

Main: Cobalt Winglet
Sub: Kite Shield
5/5 AF
Boarskin Belt
Electrum Rings
Electrum Gorget
Coral Armillae

it was hard enough beating him the first time. It took about 8 or 9 attempts with 4 different parties, but eventually I got the hang of his pattern and figured out what everyone needed to do etc.

No way I'm going to stand up to this though. Damn it Yoshi, it's not fair @.@ I want those shiny earrings of awesome, but I'm not about to attempt this with a group of likely well-equipped people only to bring us all down from sub-optimal gear.

I'm a big believer in skill > everything, and have proved it on a number of occasions but this is pretty extreme. Was it really necessary to make it so hard? They're damn nice earrings, but you know, the freaking Rajas Ring in FFXI was easily on par with this thing and was much, much easier to obtain by comparison. Promathia was a pretty fun fight too. Challenging, but not stupidly hard either.
