Would be helpful for 2nd boss in Cutter's Cry as well (the sandworm fight). So much wall hugging in that one and the camera always freaks out and makes it hard to see where the worm is charging.

**Gokulo** · 2013-09-23 15:37

No, he doesn't

Wonder if it was the same amazing WHM I had in HM Ifrit yesterday who kept claiming that the only way to kill nails was with meteor and after the second wipe (was past nails) he would just immediately pull ifrit re wiping us till people left.

Also how the hell do you disable that stupid face the target when performing an action? I'm about ready to rage due to this in AK

My first ever Ifrit HM DF experience, there was no blm or smn, half of PT started going "some dd get out (I guess at that point people didn't know yet you can't just get replacement for HM)", we try to fight, someone snaps at Monk saying he's useless because meele get hit by swipes, we wipe and at that point of one the idiots, a bard, get naked and starts the aggro to wipe thing. It just made me angry and worried at that time, because I didn't want the rest of end game to be like this, lol, but now it's funny seeing as his actions were pointless.

system > character config > target settings

better for healers, really. DD will suffer more from this thanks to their bullshit narrow line of sight required for casting on enemies

**Manako** · 2013-09-23 15:54

I really wish there was a macro for target facing on/off. Very annoying to turn it on/off when fighting the wall.

**XalienLevi** · 2013-09-23 16:28

The amount of people dying pre-heart on Titan HM is driving me to drink.

**Day** · 2013-09-23 16:36

That shit is so unforgiving in terms of lag. It's just so fucking infuriating to watch someone, you know has lag, barely make it out of landslide/plume, and knowing it's just a matter of time before they eat shit. Especially if it's your FC mate or something, no amount of skill, gear or anything is going to overcome their lag, and makes the fight fucking impossible.

Paladins take less damage, suck it up and stop being a pussy and hit shit with your fucking axe.

On reddit this morning I saw somebody say that Flash gives more hate than Overpower because and I quote "Flash is the same enmity as a 250 potency attack, Overpower just has the added effect of damage."

Needless to say, both WARs and PLDs are pretty fucking stupid on the subject of the utility of both jobs.

I first experienced this in the story mode Garuda as a WAR. I had never really noticed how much lag can affect you until this fight. I was pulling my hair out bc I know I'm not a fucking slouch but time after time I would get hit with that dodgeable linear attack even though on my screen I had run through her right when I saw the casting and was clear behind her.

I'm taking a break from WAR and leveling a different job as I can't bear to tank under these conditions and put my party through the stress.

This is a noob question but what is up with all the shouts for Hydra and Chimera? I know they are part of the relic quest line, but are they different fights from the normal instance fights? Hydra (Haltali) and Chimera (Cutter's Cry) are pretty easy fights, so I am bewildered by all these level 50 players shouting forever on end for something they can just queue for in the DF. And by bewildered I also mean annoyed.

They are nothing like the fight in dungeons that's one (you don't even fight Hydra in Halatali?), secondly and more importantly, you can't use DF for those fights.

**Niiro** · 2013-09-23 18:28

You fight Chimera in an instanced corner of Coerthas, you actually do fight Hydra at Halatali.

Ime, strafe to side for column attacks, and jump through for conal. Jumping through for column attacks is going to get you hit most of the time.

I had this problem as well but, i solved it by just memorizing the rotations for each phase and i havn't been hit since lol

**Kincard** · 2013-09-23 22:48

I've been hesitant to do Titan HM as well because of my lag. I can usually adjust to it by memorizing patterns (and just constantly moving around >_>) since I did that with Ifrit and Garuda, but I hear with Titan you run the risk of having circular aoes overlap each other when they target different people.

**Corrderio** · 2013-09-23 23:23

Finding out the "trial" for my promotion wasn't a primal, but instead AK. Filled up my hunt log, killed Ifrit, and all I was told was to talk to the commander who directed me to AK.

I understand his post as saying that you fight Hydra in Halatali normal dungeon, not relic questline.

All the random little niggling bugs are starting to get annoying. Latest one being where your chat log randomly stops updating what is being said so you have no idea people are even saying anything. Clicking the chat box refreshes it and occasionally you find out people have been talking for the past 5-10 minutes.
