Got P9N in Normal Raids roulette this evening. It went fine until Ecliptic Meteor killed half the party including everyone with a raise, leaving just me (Warrior), a Dark Knight, a Reaper, and a Dancer. The Dancer bought it pretty quickly too, leaving just us two tanks and the Reaper. I figured we should hang on and see if we could make it, and eventually we did — with me using Nascent Flash on cooldown pretty much the whole way through. It was just about the minimal party that could do it — a main tank, an off tank to take the heat off me when I had to invuln a tankbuster and was left with 1 HP, and a DPS so the fight wouldn’t take forever. It was a great experience, pulling victory from the jaws of defeat!

I had another one the same evening, where one of my partymates in a dungeon took a bunch of damage on a mob pull, and I healed them to full with Nascent Flash. It’s even more dramatic on a non-tank’s HP pool.
Yesterday, I did Fractal Continuum (Hard) as Monk, and someone in chat said they barely remembered the dungeon. So I said, there's not much to remember.
Fast-forward to me being the only one to survive the first boss.
Heh, nice. That first boss is a little tricky. Healed that one a day or two ago on Sage, and nobody died but there was a lot of avoidable damage.
The healer and other DPS died to the big laser attack. The tank died to the next use of the laser attack. I assume they didn't know to confirm the direction of the lasers.
