i wont advice newbies, spenders or not to try lolix's method. Odette and solano are 2 premium mages that only older players will have access to, and nutaku's version is so sad they don't even have a black mage out yet for spenders.

I would suggest 2 CCed silver healers at most, it is not worth forcing yourself to clear IB with more silver healers which will be immediately replaced the moment the trading post changes/healer event/gold rush comes. (big IF. IF NUTAKU DECIDES TO FUCKING DO THEIR JOBS, hire me to do their programming work, flash games are not hard to port over ffs. Although it seems to me more of a political issue for aigis/nutaku...so let the customers suffer)
