Relic+1 PLDs that can't hold hate off of my SCH's Bane'd DoTs.

You're geared enough that I don't have to heal you, stop sucking and toss out more than 1 damned flash.

That doesn't bother me, as I actually find that the fun part about speedrunning in an otherwise boring dungeon.

But if DPS are gonna use single-target attacks on mobs that I don't have marked, things just get silly. Bonus points if all the DPS are attacking their own mobs. Is that normal for Relic/DL Speedruns?

If you're losing hate then suck less, I am constantly using Skull Sunder and Butcher's Block on different mobs, the dps can do whatever they want and they won't get hate off of me unless the thing is almost dead and I've stopped caring about it. Spamming Overpower/Flash is not the only way to keep hate on groups.

**Carth** · 2013-10-14 22:33

I don't spam Flash unless I'm holding two packs of mobs (5+).

**Niiro** · 2013-10-14 22:39

Was tanking a run with a relic BLM friend who was practicing her AoE rotations for coil, good practice for us both really.

Shield lob #1
Flash-Scorn group
Fast blade #1
Spirits-Savage #2
Halone #3

Play it by ear from there, it certainly makes for a challenge.

Then why are you complaining?

**Krandor** · 2013-10-14 22:48

If the healer is dpsing (which they should be), I'll usually keep flash up for at least the first 2 (so 18 seconds), helps keep the damage lower until at least the first mob goes down.

Because DPS shouldn't be focusing on mobs that I don't have marked. No one cares about one pack, but when there's 5 or more mobs I have to tank, there at least needs to be some basic coordination.

Considering AK, I just fall into autopilot at this point. If I didn't pty up with funny ass FC/LS members it'd be a bore fest. That's been the key to powering through it for me.

I've resorted to completing AK in the most unorthodox ways because of how boring it's become for me. Having to grind 300 mythology from the place on a weekly basis is just so exhausting, blah. I've gone BLM, WHM, BRD, BRD and I've gone PLD, SCH, SCH, DRG thus far. I kinda want to do a BLM burn party but I'm afraid it'll be a wasted effort once we get to the last boss.

On a side note, 2.1 cannot come out quick enough. I want it to be a complete & quality piece of content from S-E, but I'm also growing tired of farming AK, CM, Prae, BC, and Titan.

Three of eight FC members dropping packets in Titan. Traced to a server "in front" of SE's Montreal servers, but as maintenance neared and people logged off, their lag miraculously went away.

**SamanosukeShiva** · 2013-10-15 03:45

welp, looks like the raise+succor/medica bug is fixed. good while lasted

**Deadgye** · 2013-10-15 05:16

Damn you double maint extensions, I want to get my luminary axe before I go to sleep!

**Jakson** · 2013-10-15 05:36

Servers back up, 68 person queue 26 minutes before extended maintenance is supposed to end

edit: and 1016'd

**Deadgye** · 2013-10-15 05:40

>check server status
>jp servers up, na servers down

Damn you square enix!

rip raise bug you were the best

**Jakson** · 2013-10-15 05:57

trash mobs (but not spawns during bosses) in CM drop 20-25 gil, can't sneak around a lot of the mobs like we could before, including colossus before parade ground

can still get around the pack in front of the guns just before second boss though

Looks like Prae gonna be the clear winner in terms of farming since even if you don't skip anything there is still less trash to kill, not that it already wasn't.

**Jakson** · 2013-10-15 06:28

Well, I think it depends on how much the tomes from WP and AK were buffed. CM was the best for Philo, but if WP is giving better numbers and Myth as well, I'd rather just do that than Praetorium.

**Exoda** · 2013-10-15 07:14

trash mobs drop 50gil in AKeep/WPalace, and AKeep is 100 phil / 40 myth ... WPalace is 100 phil / 30 myth
