FFXIV Random Praise Thread: Time to melee RDM

[Obsidian]

Yeah I Hallowed and ran through them all. I tried to Hallowed at five stacks to avoid the OHKO once when my offtank DC'd but I couldn't time it right so I don't know if it works on that.

Finally beat Ultima. We decided to just use the tank limit break before the last boon so we can just bumrush the shits as soon as possible. Our biggest problem is people dieing when the outside pewpew lazer machines spawn and then we have to stack in the middle for the airship crashes.

Quite a fun experience and I look forward to doing it more times. I expect to have as much fun when I attempt garuda/titan/ifrit tomorrow/tonight. I'd do them now but it's time to pass out.

how did you deal w/ the outside crap and then the ship's crashing? We only gave it like 5-6 attempts since a few ppl had to go to work, but we were getting blocked there. We used our LB on the first set of adds, but not sure that was the best choice

I had an awesome time learning the Siren fight as a SCH. Love that a fight relied on a healer as the core mechanic. Would have been easier on a WHM though due to stronger heals. Shields don't do much in that fight. It's all about topping people off, rather than preventing damage with shields.

We'd focus the 2-3 that are near the tanks first, and generally just stay outside trying to kill them. If there was a tank buster we'd get slightly closer to the middle for aoe heals. And then when the ships appear we run to the middle and then all GTFO as soon as possible.

Also to note, if you take too long he will cast ultima and wreck everyone.

This fight was also pretty fun. We had a problem in that we had a lot a broken gear because we forgot to repair after we did haukke and a few other things. If you have a bard/mnk/pld/etc silence the voice that puts the healing debuff on everyone the fight becomes much much easier.

Copperbell Hard is pretty hilarious on a first time run. 2nd boss is crazy fun; I like the extra interactivity vs the normal mode version of that boss. Pharos 2nd boss was also entertaining when we ran in, saw adds, thought "well, better get to work" and watched magic happen.

I was the tank that Hallowed by the way, and it didn't work for me on the last set of Boons (which is the only problematic set), so I'm confused as to how it worked for you, unless it just plainly doesn't work for that set.

Finished Crystal Tower yesterday. Despite all its problems with having to do FATEs to unlock it and the weekly loot lockout, the dungeon itself is crazy fun with lots of interesting mechanics. I'd like to give a good pat to the back to the battle team.

[Dathus]

I also just finished Crystal Tower. Got a great group for a 1/1 clearing of it. 10/10, would run again! Probably the most fun I've had in a while, even when learning fights people already have done.
CT alone made this patch for me(if only they got the FATEs right the first time).

[Jaybar]

Love the new instance servers - getting much better FPS and reaction times. Also loving the new Jump mechanics.

[Tsutsumiko]

Ultima Hard is the most fun fight in the game so far so props to SE for that. Too bad I don't need any of the gear from it

Also, Daily Roulette is OP, especially if you hit Join in progress. Unlocked Manor (Hard Mode) and then went and did Coil. Soon as I came out, I queue'd for Daily with Join in Progress and got the new dungeon at the last boss. Killed her in 4 mins, got 70 Myth and some Philo as my reward. If this is the norm, capping Myth every week will be so easy

Technically a complaint but it made me laugh.

Last night I couldn't log out. Main menu, text command, main command button, none of them gave the extra "yes/no" popup. I could not log out.

[Chamaan]

Mecha Satan and his wall-mounted laser guillotines were so much fun. I love Haukke Manor.

Dunno, I popped it and ran. To be honest, it's extremely difficult for me to see what's happening in that battlefield because of a colourblindness issue. I assumed it worked because I didn't die, But it's also possible that Stoneskin and Adloquium kept me alive. One other observation was that damage from those orbs seems to be split between people in range when they pop, but I definitely recommend having your offtank eat them because I was taking like half the damage from them that our DPS were.

We ended up not even using our LB because we were expecting him to warp and cast Ultima like the Normal version does. It's important to kill the Bits as quick as possible because they sting and like to target the tank.

./Hack all day.

Crap, double.

[Taruina]

I am in love with the Siren boss. Being important to the battle on healer (besides the obvious) is quite fun. Also, Good King Moogle Mog is a pretty fun fight.

Kudos team!

[CrstyCptSteveWitherspoon]

Daily Roulette is really refreshing. Just joined one in progress that was on the 2nd boss in copperbell hard(never done this dungeon before). 20 mins later I leave with 90 myth. Can't beat that.

[JigglyJam]

The aesthetician is fabulous.

Only two new hairstyles though QQ

[lilbubbles]

First upgrade for my white mage in months, yay ct!

[Ksandra]

Didn't bother unlocking CT because playing with pvp. Which means that after tonight I would have missed all the retarded FATE spawn timers everyone else dealt with. (b'')b
