As an alternative to Monday nights, here's Sunday morning ENM and Promyvion boss battles.
Meet at Venessa in Ru'Lude Gardens at
10am PT / 11am MT / 12pm CT / 1pm ET
If we have a full, effective group with anima, we'll make an ENM+boss run. If not, we'll farm Holla for recollections. As of now, I get the sense that we are melee-heavy, so if any SMN-types out there want to lend a hand, please come. It could mean 3000 EXP for you!

Tam said it best
Yep, we won. When we were congregating in Ru'Lude or getting formed, I did a poll to see which spire was needed the most. An overwhelming number of people needed Holla. I'm not surprised, since it is the hardest spire to climb.
When we formed up, the boss fight group was myself plus five who still needed the boss for the mission. I couldn't really ask for a better scenario! Congratulations to Busco, Arbelast, Cyclonus, Heavenguard (from The Light's Templar), and Avayr!
Just some extra info: we did use 10 anima on the boss, which is pretty standard. The other interesting thing which I was worried about going into the battle was Busco had to tank as War/Pld. In fact, the only Nin or /Nin we brought into the boss fight was Avayr as Rng/Nin. Busco did a phenomenal job tanking, and the biggest screwup in the whole fight was because of me. I threw an anima too late - causing the boss to use AoE sleep - and I was too asleep to throw it.
Shout out to Meretrix for coming along for the ENM and our grueling spire climb.
Hopefully we can get together next Sunday, for those who still need boss fights, want to help, or could be enticed by an ENM. Like Sunday, the crag choice will depend on the number of people who need the boss for the missions. Questions? Drop it here, I'll try to reply, or /tell Hilkiah in game.

Coolness
Yeah, I find that Holla is the only one that really requires Anima tosses be perfect. Did you guys have poison potions? Poison potions are generally advisable on the Holla boss so they keep you awake if you ever get AoE slept... But be warned.. they usually don't last the whole battle.
As for tanking, honestly with enough anima, anyone with provoke will be fine. If you don't have enough Anima, then blink is really important for some specific attacks (Mea's "Impalement" is the one I really feel when I don't have shadows).
I'll go ahead and schedule one. If you guys change your mind, let me know and I'll remove it.

How'd it go?
How did you guys do? I had an appointment roughly 30 minutes after you were supposed to have started, so I couldn't show.

Five Folks
I think Hilkiah got five folks through the Holla Spire Boss who needed that spire; if not five it was a decent number! ENM fight was seven players.
I just went along for the run, five-days were not up since I last went into Holla; Venessa can be stingy =^_^=
CONGRATULATIONS!
CONGRATULATIONS on your successful Sunday "Rise and Shine with Hilkiah ENM Fun Run", Hilkiah!
Holla Spire ENM - dead
Holla Spire Boss - dead

Hah
I should have read all the comments before asking how it went.
Congrats guys :-)

May I join?
Just farmed my anima with some others. Can come as a BLM.
Alliance for ENM
Hilkiah is organizing an ENM. Generally a Clan ENM Run is an alliance run (less than 3000 exp if more than six in the party). I think we have had all jobs for Clan ENM, except for BST and BRD and SAM (I guess those jobs are not well represented in the Clan).
For the actual Boss Fight a subset of the alliance breaks off once the ENM fight is finished. You can only have a party of six for a Boss Fight. Of course if you have fourteen folks in your ENM Alliance you could break into two parties of seven for the actual ENM fights, then re-organize again for two Boss Fights, each fight a party of six.
BRD
I can come as BRD for this one, its a little under lvld, at 29 atm, but the ~ 3k Experiance points will help alot.
SAM representing
I have SAM at 30, and I've been dying to bring it along for an ENM and some EXP.... I just always get saddled with being the tank :-P
Also, Cyclonus is a BRD (unless I am completely and totally not remembering correctly).

BRD? BLM? Same diff
I can go as either BRD or BLM. Malk wanted to go as BRD, so I can show up as a BLM
