If still having trouble on Ogre, try to take 1GLA and the rest THM / CON. Dots completely own him, and it seems when he gets 40-50% he takes even more damage from the DOTS (maybe everything I assume) but also seems to hit much harder and faster? You don't need ALL mages, but the more you have the easier the fight is, Bio, Dia, Shock and the like, totally destroy him.
And like others have said, our problem was the tank running up and down when the ghosts would phase, the key is to stay close to him, and use sentinal / obsess / rampart during phases. With buffs the tank can survive if gets hit by the ghost aoe, just make sure mages are ready with a fast cure.
The thing is, the more mages you have, correct me if I'm wrong someone else doing this strategy, the longer you will drag the fight on. He does seem to "rage" at some stages throughout the fight after 50%, if you DPS/DD are not ready to take em down by this time withing 2-3 phases with constant BR's (2 per phase), your in deep.
As I haVent got passed the Ogre yet, hopefully tonight, as preparation im wondering what the picture of the skeleton is on the maps posted above please :D and any particular strategy for this unless its just a case of the blue lights again
no mages do not drag the fight out, I'm telling you, dots destroy below 40%. And lol we thought the same EXACT thing about "Rage". I'm willing to bet 5mil gil, that you are doing exactly what we were doing, and that is your tank is running out of range and getting everyone blasted with Fire Spit. Walk him up and down, make sure the tank is staying with melee range of Ogre at all times.
thm is the best dd in the game...
Our LS, Dreadnought, on Saronia just took out Batraal at 9:10. Haven't seen the video but I'm sure our strats can't be too far off.
I never expected people to be that excited over an XIV event so soon... Great work~
I really hope they remove the party size minimum. I would like to at least go in and pop a few chests solo instead of standing around for an hour waiting outside of Thousand Maws.
I'm coming across so many people that won't invite me because 36 is too high level... Claiming they don't want to play it on "easy mode" and want a challenge. Eh? I just want loot and company seals. I'm surprised so many people are trying to induce their own difficulty on themselves... instead of just getting 50 and playing a real dungeon.
Once you turn in the quests for these raids, do any new company quests become available? Or can you redo the raid quests? If not, then I'll have be careful with how I spend company seals until the next patch.
Keep wiping to ogre @ 30-40%. Y'all werent kidding about the TP spam lol. Shit's fun though, I'm very pleased with this update
Yeah, gotta control it with Twisting Vice and Siphon TP. It gets pretty bad once he gets below 20%. We are able to take it out with close-range melee pretty easy in any case. Having 2 Lancers helps though.
